Discedo training course

PLEASE put in what you think characters would need to know!! I can't do it all myself! IF YOU HAVE A FACILITY OF SORT (the bar, hospital, idefk) PLEASE COMMENT WITH INFO ON IT.

This is the weekly crash-course for new characters--or anybody interested. Attendance can be assumed. If you wish to have a log for the week, leave a comment and I'll happily provide. All information put in here will be given IC during the course. A character is welcome to attend only one of the two days. Any questions can be directed here.


DAY ONE: IN CLASS
Teachers: Lute, Namine
Welcome to Discedo
The standard run down that we're all used to. Who brought us here, why we are brought here. Any kind of quick run down of recent events to bring new inhabitant. Death will be covered, leaving discedo, coming BACK to discedo. Basically a second reading of Patchy's info guide in case anybody missed something.

How to Work the Communicator
Video; congratulations, your character know understands what video is, and how to use it
Voice; A small explanation of telephones, as well as a brief explanation of the main languages in discedo: Latin, Japanese, and English.
Text; "The universal communication" it translates to whatever language necessary. how to text, too. If you can't read, you're screwed because they don't have to time to TEACH your character to read
Locking messages; I have no idea how high they can teach locking up to: probably 15% lock

Apartment Buildings
Marshal; Safe water. Major damage to the top two floors--both uninhabitable (WAS work on it, Safe water, idk if this got finished; might hit up a mod and see...)
Latimir; Safe water, suffering major damage on one side of the building.
Horton; Safe water, Blown out windows

OKAY I NEED A LITTLE HELP HERE and I'll fill it out more i swear

Facilities
This... this is up to you to fill out folks. Think of it like advertising.

Monsters
This will cover animals found only in the residential and shopping districts. The edible monsters will be highlighted. Anything particularly dangerous will be mentioned in brief for this portion.

DAY TWO: THE TOUR
Teachers: Germany, ??
Locations
This map covered only in the safer districts of the city. There will be instructions about where important buildings are, but they will NOT travel lower than Liddle Way, and no where beyond Breebo Avenue.

Restocking
Food; grocery stores. There will be an instruction on how to prepare a carcass to those who want it. also minor fire safety.
Drink; Water. How to get it, how to clean it. A repeat of fire safety
    The following places have water:

    Marshall Apartments
    Latimir Apartments
    Horton Apartments
    Gohl Avenue rowhouses
    High School
    Northern Lights

The scientists; the do grant requests, and will give you certain things if requested.

Basic Defense
No there is not a demonstration (for now). Your character will be instructed on basic defense maneuvers--how to swing a stick and run for the hills. If your character has access to a weapon and wants instructions, only those things available IRL could be instructed on.

Daily life
Bathing, staying healthy, eating right, finding clothes, so on and so forth

OTHER
This... this is anything that might randomly pop up during a lesson.
- Mess with the Gohl house and Namine kicks your butt


FINALLY!!! The instructors will, obviously, meet any one that attends the course. The following muns have OK'd it for new characters to know the instructors. Please, if you contact one of them out of the blue via this privilege, LEAVE A NOTE SO WE KNOW.

The following places have water:

Marshall Apartments
Latimir Apartments
Horton Apartments
Gohl Avenue rowhouses
High School
Northern Lights

Horton and Marshall get water from Jackie, the high school, Latimir and I think Horton and Marshall as well, have water containers on the roof that Lute fills up. Latimit has working pipes, the high school you have to go collect it from the roof.

Don't know about Northern Lights, but I've always just assumed Lute brings water to any place that has a container and needs it.

So, that sort of stuff could be taught on where to get safe water?

Oh, and I don't mind if people know Lute. :D

Not at all, he loves teaching people anyway, even if he comes across as a bit dingy.

Horton I think is in okay shape, but the windows on one side of the building are blown out I think. I'm really not sure if anyone ever fixed that.

Far as Marshall goes I'm really not sure if it ever got finished either. I know Franky worked on it when he was here and then Noble Heart had people working on it, but I'm really not sure how far they got...

Aaand my other character Yvon would stop by as a student for this. I'm not sure how long Lute and Germany would let him stay |D he's... very clueless and asks way too many questions and takes everything literally, but he'll show up at least.

OTHER → How to Wrestle a Bear 101 c/o Professor Taiwan

j/k SERIOUSLY THOUGH idk if it'd be necessary to teach new characters how to hunt if they don't know how to already.

I would throw Alphonse in but, he's heard the basics from Patchy's guide/intro thing and he's still adjusting to..circumstances/having his body back so. That and the fact Ed and Winry prob caught him up to speed on things prob means it's irrelevant for him mostly. But. It's a great idea!

[identity profile] bubbleteatime.livejournal.com 2010-07-02 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Nah I'm kidding. But hunting for food! Like knowing which meat is edible, how to catch certain monsters. Also self-defense against monsters idk.

[identity profile] sealboundsoul.livejournal.com 2010-07-02 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Okay then, fair enough.

[identity profile] dustedsunlight.livejournal.com 2010-07-02 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Uhhh Namine would love to highlight the fact that if you go into Gohl with any malicious intent, you will get your ass handed to you.

I mean, in nicer little-girl words.

Also, she's really good at explaining the daily life thing. She's never died from anything short of the entire city falling to pieces. |D

[identity profile] dustedsunlight.livejournal.com 2010-07-04 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Day one would work better... Namine's good at the talking and stuff, but she could really work anything. xD

Also, best other section ever. Those who have been here long enough will already know that lesson and can vouch for it, l-lol.

[identity profile] dustedsunlight.livejournal.com 2010-07-04 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yessir! o7 We're good.
