Vehicle Proficiency (and Woodworking), Thursday

[magnusrushesin]

For the first class of this session, they were in the Danger Shop. But Magnus still hasn't gotten it working, so... use your imaginations, kids. Maybe listen to the word picture being painted.

"Okay, so this things doesn't know what a battle-wagon is, but that's okay. We can work up to them," Magnus said, squinting at the control panel like maybe if he shoved a robot arm in there it'd work.

Robot arms were his solution for everything.

"My name is Magnus Burnsides and I'll be your teacher for this class. Hi. Hello." He was being super professional right now. "And, um, let's do a round of introductions. And maybe what your experience with vehicles is. That... sounds right."

Look, he wasn't a teacher. He was a big, beefy, fighty boy.

"I do too." He paused to think that over. "Right? This place is called that, right?"

"This place is called that," Peridot agreed. "It's no Homeworld, but... it's okay."

She was still figuring this place out. A lot. It was a work in progress. An often frustrating work in progress.

That it was, Peridot. And Magnus couldn't even remember his actual home to agree even more on the matter.

"Way less magic here too."

"Less than there is where I come from, too," Peridot offered. "Less of a lot of things, really. It's just so... new."

New, full of life, trying so very hard to figure out where it belonged in the universe...

Still frustrating, though.

"I thought that too, but I have yet to see an elevator here."

Which was important to progress. Also to Griffin.

"Well, all the buildings are short," Peridot pointed out. "Except for the dorms."

She paused.

"I'm pretty sure there's an elevator in the dorms."

There you go, Griffin!

Thank god because it wasn't a canonical adventure without one being mentioned.

"Oh! The one building I haven't been to because that'd be creepy."

Re: Introduce Yourself

Peridot shrugged her shoulders, mostly because she just didn't get it.

"I don't spend much time there either," she shared. "The dorms are boring. But they are good for keeping my Camp Pining Hearts DVDs in."

She was a Gem of simple needs.

Re: Introduce Yourself

[magnusrushesin]

"What's that? Is it like those Caleb Cleveland, Kid Cop books?"

Please say no.

Re: Introduce Yourself

"... No." Peridot had seen those in the library. She hadn't read them yet, but there was one very clear distinction between the two. "They're television."

Sigh.
