010 - I don't see how he can ever finish if he doesn't begin

[ Kara has been waffling over this decision for weeks. But she's been here six months now without an inmate, and she has to make herself useful somehow. How better than by sharing the rich knowledge of her most basic education? ]

If there's interest, I think I'd like to teach a class on basic scientific principles across the worlds. I've been doing some research, and it seems that for the most part the basics really are the same universally.

I can teach you about any subject matter that isn't considered specialty, but I know that what's considered 'basic' is probably different in each culture, so I was going to start with chemistry, biology and physics.

[ And now, having passed through the planned parts of her speech, Kara's anxiety begins to show. But mooooooom, what if they don't like me? ]

I know there's at least one person who's interested in learning.

There has to be someone else, doesn't there?

[ Ladies and gentlemen, your 18 16 year old science teacher. ]

So which is it? Am I old or a child? If you can't make this distinction, how do you expect anyone to take you seriously.


[Woozy? Not that she'll admit. Nope. She'll never say "please"! Never!! ]

[notdreaming]

I think it's safe to say that you're the oldest child I've ever seen.

[ That's a 'both'. ]

[force_captain]

You think so? I'm not the one who resorted to brute force because my feelings were bruised. That smacks far more of a childish bully.

[Oh hey, look at the pretty sparkles. They're just dancing across get vision. ]

[notdreaming]

[ She glances down, utterly unmoved by the accusation. This is time out, not brute force. ]

I can see the blood getting to your head, you know. The veins are all swollen. You don't have a history of head injuries, do you? It might knock you out faster than I expected.

[force_captain]

[Hahahahahaha! History of head injuries. /wipes tear ]

Your concern is so touching.

[If her tone was a liquid, it'd be acid.]

[notdreaming]

Well, we'll see.

[ She will just hang out up here. ]

[force_captain]

[Oh yes, yes Kara would see. Because even though Catra keeps up the snarling, and a little bit of name calling, it's slurring and it's not long before her eyes are fluttering, rolling back in her head.

Yeah, Catra's been hit a lot. ]

[notdreaming]

[ Oooookay. Time to set her down. She gently lays the woman back down on the ground, checking first to make sure there isn't any serious internal damage.






And then she leaves. ]
