I'm Tex. From what I understand you've been assigned to teach. I am the existing teacher on board, to be joined by you and one other. I was just wondering if you wanted to meet and get a tour of the classroom facilities and library.

I really don't know how to explain the job assignments here, but I like kids okay so I haven't changed. This has nothing at all to do with what I did back when I came from though.

There's one classroom and there's a science lab that Bruce Banner teaches out of if someone wants to learn something complicated.

That makes a difference. The classroom is sized for human activities so I don't know what you want to do about helping.
a_shadow: (Serious)

At the classroom is fine. I'm already there.

[ Tex doesn't bother to answer, simply standing by for Whirl to arrive. She's wearing one of the ship's uniforms, rather than her imposing armor, as she doesn't wear the armor to teach. ]

[Luke is sitting in his room, which is conveniently filled with half-built droids; he kind of forgot to think about cleaning those up before he made this transmission.]

Um, hi! My name's Luke Skywalker. We haven't met, but considering... everything that's been going on lately, I think maybe we should.
t65: (hes talking to a waste recepticle.)

[personal profile] t65 2016-06-12 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Luke laughs, and makes an effort to make it warm and kind. It doesn't take much effort.] No, not really. Did they tell you I got into a fight with Tarn last month? [He just assumes Whirl knows who Tarn is. Everyone else seems to.]

The debrief made me want to get to know you better. You've got to have a perspective on all this, haven't you?
t65: (i definitely know what im doing rn.)

[personal profile] t65 2016-06-12 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
On all of this! I don't know about you, but I've learned not to learn things secondhand.

[But, uh, Tarn.] I think so, unless there's another Tarn. [There would be, wouldn't there.]

Oh, no, he didn't kill me. He gave me a concussion-- um, that's when our heads get hit so hard it jolt our... internal programming.
a_shadow: (I see)

[ It wasn't until Whirl arrived that the penny dropped for Tex—like herself, Whirl could transfer her consciousness from her robot body to a human body. This is something Tex had mostly kept secret, though those who had been paying attention had probably figured it out—but Tex mostly put up the pretense that she actually was human.

She doesn't remark on it, though, just tucks it in her pocket for later. ]


I'm Tex. Nice model.
t65: (this r2 unit is fucking balls.)

[personal profile] t65 2016-06-13 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
What-? [Luke turns around to look at the droids, wide-eyed.] No! No, that's just a hobby. It'd be like... taking apart a bantha to make a speeder work better. It's not the same at all.

[He shakes his head.]

I guess if I want you to explain anything, I should explain myself first, though. You see, I'm a Jedi. We're peacekeepers, and I'd like to do my part to keep the peace on this ship. And I don't think that's possible if I don't understand people, their cultures and their perspectives. Does that make more sense?
t65: (dear diary: still not a jedi)

[personal profile] t65 2016-06-13 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no! [He laughs.] I'd make a terrible therapist. We're more like... diplomats, but without governments behind us. It's a little hard to explain without...

[He reaches out with his hand-- a hand Whirl may notice is a mechanical prosthetic-- and concentrates. A few loose screws, a washer, and a spare pen begin to float in the air in a parody of orbit around his wrist.] We have great abilities. We try to use them responsibly.

[Luke chuckles.] It's something I was born with, but it takes a lot of training. It's complicated-- organic life naturally produces an energy field that certain people like me can interact with. It's a part of everything, even you.

It can be used horribly; it can even hurt people. Part of being a Jedi is swearing to use it peacefully, to help people.

[ The smile is infectious, though Tex doesn't more than smirk. ]

Yeah, I have a similar policy myself.
