Day 309 — Video / Beginning Tech Class mingle / All open
[Video/open]
Class is happening soon. If you're not an engineer or computer genius you should probably check it out.

[She lifts up a camera.] We're going to learn about these today. [The class originated for people from worlds or times where technology wasn't as developed as it is in the prison, so it's to help them close the gap, but she's not picky.]

[Beginning Technology Class Mingle/open]
[There's a camera—each different than the one before it on each table and Kitty is sitting on the desk. Chairs are for losers!]

This is a camera. It's great for artists, people who like looking at things forever, and stalkers.

[She goes on to explain the basic parts and the concept of how it works. Then she picks one up, balancing it on her palm.] Give it a try. See if you can figure out how to use it. We'll go from there.

[Video | Closed to Reid]
[Instead of seeing Kitty you're just going to see this at first. Kitty can be heard humming the Jaws theme though.]

(OOC: Respond to video to Kitty here. Mingle everywhere else! Before, during, after class. Whatever you like!)

	[She adjusts the feed back to her own face and smiles.] I was just looking around and then I was going to make fun of it, but the longer I'm here the more genius it seems. [She takes a seat in the shark chair.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Evil genius, more like. You could get a whole super villain thing going with that chair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would you really be scared of a villain in this chair? [She smiles, tipping her head all innocently at him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-02-11 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	Depends on how seriously she takes the shark motif, if you ask me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What if I took iiiiiiiit [Leaning down to pick something up and straightening herself up with a shark fin headband on her head.] this seriously? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-02-13 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yeah, that would definitely worry me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-14 03:17 am UTC (link)
	[She turns her head a couple of times for the full show.] Then I guess my career as a villain can begin. Heroing was getting old. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I always suspected this day would come. Should I alert the troops? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-14 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	Depends. Are you going to warn them or sway them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-02-16 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	Depends. What's in it for me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can be my sidekick. Well... Minion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-02-18 12:54 pm UTC (link)
	That's really generous of you. I'm not sure how I could ever say no. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-20 02:41 am UTC (link)
	Knowing you, you could probably say it in a few languages. You know, not as many as me, but you'd give it the old college try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-02-21 09:46 am UTC (link)
	Luckily for me, no is one of the easier words in most languages. I can probably cheat my way into twenty or thirty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-21 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	I am dutifully impressed. Next time I'll pick a more challenging word. So... [And this is where things change pace just a little.] All this shopping is making me hungry. And we should probably discuss our plans for dome domination. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-02-22 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	Good point. Wanna, uhm... grab some lunch? And before you ask, this isn't me trying to pawn off that date as just getting food together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-22 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	Does that mean it will be more than food or that this isn't a date? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-02-24 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	Depends? Do you want it to be a bonus date? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-26 02:45 pm UTC (link)
	Well, we're dating, right? I feel like that already implies multiple. It'd be a lot of pressure on that one otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-02-27 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	Well... sure. Okay. Let's make it a date. [ Which puts a lot more pressure on a lunch but. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-27 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiles back at him.] And it's kind of impromptu so I won't expect a tux or corsage yet. [She doesn't actually expect these things at any time at all.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-02-27 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	Good. I don't know if I have it in me to change. [ There will be a corsage tho. When they do the real date. ] What are you in the mood for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-27 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	Pizza with curry sauce and rocky road. The rocky road is separate and ice creamy, not pizza-y. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-02-27 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	Good choice for date food. [ Totally not messy. ] Meet you there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-27 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	Best of both worlds. [Is he going to be judging her eating habits now? This dating thing may not go well.] Not even going to pick me up? So modern. Sure. Let's meet. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-06 04:42 am UTC (link)
	[Find the teacher! Maybe you showed up bright and early in hopes of being her favorite student. Maybe you have questions during class. Maybe you just want to chat her up afterward or on her way home once class is over. THE OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS! And yet this prompt ends here.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

[Carol is not an engineer, and she is not one little bit tech savvy. But she knows what a camera is, and how to work one. Regardless, the most she ever did with a camera was point and click - the one she had before the fan ate shit was far simpler than the one she has before her. So she appreciates the extra knowledge.]

All those settings and options, and I'd still just leave it on AUTO.

If you're not looking to advance your career as a photographer auto will get the job done most of the time. The other stuff is really more for an art class anyway.

Plus, for some people just knowing to hit the button is achievement. [Which probably sounds more condescending that she really means it. She's been close with a lot of people from the past in prison. Back in the old days she taught Tyki to use—and abuse—microwaves.]

	[She turns the camera over in her hands.] Ah, well, I'm not very artistic. And, except for pulling the batteries, cameras stopped being useful a long time ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-07 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	What do you do with the batteries? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2015-02-09 05:22 pm UTC (link)
	Put them in more useful things, like flashlights. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-10 02:36 am UTC (link)
	So not vibrators? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2015-02-13 04:30 am UTC (link)
	[Laughing.] No, I'm afraid not. Well, not to my knowledge, anyway. What other people find and prioritize is their business. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-14 03:20 am UTC (link)
	Wow, that would not be something I'd want to scavenge. [Laughing a little herself.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2015-02-17 05:22 pm UTC (link)
	No, me either. [There wasn't enough sanitizer left in the world. No.] Anyway, with walkers, you really do want to be as quiet as possible. It would be an awful way to attract them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We were attacked once when Piotr and I were having some alone time if you know what I mean. Awkward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not the conversation you expected to have at school, probably? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	carol_peletier 2015-02-21 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	We have since added it to the curriculum. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-22 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	It's a pretty special school where you can learn to use a camera or paint or find a serial killer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is that what they call diversity in learning? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-02-26 02:54 pm UTC (link)
	Sure, why not? We get to write our own definitions here. (Reply to this) (Parent)
