[The video starts up and you get a blonde with an upticked mouth looking at you.]

So everyone got these new tablets, but teaching us how to use them was just one step they weren't willing to take. I figure I could step in here and offer to teach the basics to anyone who was having a problem using theirs.

I'll be at the *insert random place here idk* for most of today, so if anyone wants to stop by for a lesson, I'll be there. [Grins a little wiser] I hope ya'll are good, attentive students so I don't regret this later.

Oh, I'm sure the people that are smart enough to figure it out also already know they can figure it out.

[Pout] You are making it very hard to entice new people to talk to me for legitimate technology concerns.

Ah, well. [But have a smile now] I'm Blaine. You are?

[studieswaitressing]

I'm sure you could think of better ways to get someone to come talk to you.

[Smirking.]

Mystique.

[strategic_guile]

I was trying the path of least resistance. Since I'm meeting such a beautiful woman, I'd say it was a success. Good to meet you, Mystique.

Well, you should know that flattery gets you everywhere. At least as far as I've seen.

[strategic_guile]

What can I say? It's not flattery if it's true. [Brief flash of a wider smile]

How long have you been here?

Permavideo;

[studieswaitressing]

Long enough to know that most people here have better taste than the ones at home.

You're new, right?

[strategic_guile]

I can't disagree with that. I have excellent taste.

I came in with the last horde.

[studieswaitressing]

Lucky you. Did you enjoy your welcome?

[strategic_guile]

Dank tunnels, explosions, and poisonous gas? What wasn't there to love? [Dryly]

[studieswaitressing]

Well, I felt the talent show was a little lack-lustre.

[Heh.]

[strategic_guile]

From which side?

[studieswaitressing]

Oh...the judges seemed a tad harsh, I guess.

[strategic_guile]

[Snorts a bit] Would you rather have easy judges?

[studieswaitressing]

I don't see why there needs to be judges at all, really. It would've been nice to just have people display their talents.

[strategic_guile]

People could always use the training room. That's what it's for, despite how sketchy the Initiative is.

[studieswaitressing]

I didn't mean just combative talents.

[strategic_guile]

So you mean, 'I'm really good at organizing large groups of people' kind of talents then? [Raises eyebrow]

[studieswaitressing]

I guess that would count. Just -- interesting things. You never know when a really obscure skill will come in handy.

[strategic_guile]

That makes me think we should have a talent show or something. High school all over again. [Slightly pained but amused look]

[studieswaitressing]

I think that's sort of what they had in mind when they did the one underground. If you talk to the girl who started it -- I'm not sure of her name -- maybe she'd want an encore presentation.

[strategic_guile]

[He looks a bit confused by this] Oh, the... magic show type thing?

[studieswaitressing]

I think it's the same girl who ran that, yeah.

I heard something about a puppet show being included, but maybe I heard wrong.

[strategic_guile]

[He had been in a kind of bad place during that so he totally blanked out, whoops] Maybe she can run another one. I'm curious about other abilities.

[studieswaitressing]

[Whoops.]

I think it'd be useful just to get an idea of all the skills that we're probably missing out on right now. Not everyone has to fight.
