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!)

	[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)

After class

[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)

	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)

	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)

	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)

	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)
