Urban Survival - The Uglier Side of City Living, Thursday, Period 2
Unlike the first time he had taught this class, Sparkle looked... actually mostly at ease in front of the room, today. The tiniest grin was pulling at his lips, in fact. Okay. He could do this. He was going to stand in front of the class and he was going to teach them things.
Some of them for a second time. That was cool too.
"Hey, guys. Welcome to Urban Survival. I'm Sparkle-- just Sparkle, I don't do the last name thing, I'm like Cher or Björk or whatever. I'm from Toronto, which is the largest, most populated city in modern-day Canada, that big cold country north of here. It's also probably not anything like half of the cities you guys know, going by the variety in students we get around here."
Yeah, this was going way more smoothly than that first time, already. Good.
"But in this class it isn't going to matter if you're from Calgary or Coruscant. Not entirely. Even if the cities change, what you're going to need in order to survive if you're out on the streets in them is going to remain fairly consistent. And people might change from place to place... but they're people. They're gonna be people no matter where you go, complete with a lot of the same 'everyone for themself' shit." He gave a little smile and a shrug of his shoulders. "So, starting next week, we're gonna make it work. This week I want to get a feel for who I'm teaching. So, let's hear a little about you guys. Your name, a little bit about what it is you consider a city back home, and what you hope to pick up from here before the end of the semester. Like I said, I'm Sparkle, from a big modern city in the land of hockey and shitty fast food coffee. And I'm teaching this class because I've been there and done that, which around here is enough to pass as actual teaching qualifications, I guess. See, easy. Your turn."
