Computer Science and Repair- Tuesday- 2nd period

[throughaphase]

The class was in the computer lab today. Kitty wasn't entirely sure when people were from, so in addition to sending out an email about it, she'd also put a note on the door to the regular classroom, with instructions on how to get there because she was nice like that.

"Hey, guys," she greeted them. "Welcome to Computer Science and Repair. I'm Kitty Pryde-Barton, and I don't really care what you call me. I've got a long and storied history in this field, building and programming and accessing certain things and the like." Most of it was even legal. "Now it's my job to teach it to you. My one rule here is to only use your powers for good. I don't want you using any of this to do anything nefarious, there will be no using it to bully anyone, and I don't want the FBI calling me for any reason. Most of the time we'll be in the Danger Shop where we can play around a little more, but today we're going to start off easy.

"This is introduction week, more or less, so I want to hear your name, when and where you're from, and what your experience level is on this stuff before we get into it."

"Heeeeeyyyy," said Prompto, with the expected lopside grin and a lift of his hand, "I'm Prompto! I'm from a planet called Eos that is pretty much on the same level of technology as this planet right now, except we do more with, like, magic crystals and stuff? And I'm kind of the tech guy on my team, which at the moment mostly just means doing a lot of mods on weapons and video game stuff, so I'm always eager to learn, like, some new skills, you know?"

With the FBI bit, he wasn't sure if he should mention any of the hacking--which was literally all innocent and just done to mess with his friends by messing up their game items and things like that, but still...

"Right now," he said with a grin, "my thing has been some homebrew programs for the danger shop. Which, like, I know you don't even need to really program stuff for it, because, like, doesn't it just sort of...do whatever you want it to? But it's still fun to do, I think."

"Oh, we can program the Danger Shop to our specifics," Kitty said. "I'd be interested to see what you have."

Partly because that was traditionally their final.

Whoo! So he was already ahead of the game!

"It's a chocobo racing simulator!" Prompto burst out, almost before Kitty had even finished speaking, because he was clearly hoping she'd ask or at least open up the opportunity to talk about it, because it was clearly a point of pride for him. "You can select the color of your chocobo and everything and there's fireworks at the start, too! It's pretty great...if I do say so myself."
