[ Gwen starts her awkward video with an awkward wave. hellooo~ no, she's not completely comfortable sending out a public video message to a group of strangers, but she knows it's necessary. if she's going to be an effective warden, she needs to get to know the other people here, even if there are a lot of them. ..not that she gets shy around large groups of people! no, she's gotten over that, sort of, since she started her internship at Oscorp. but it's still a little intimidating, isn't it? this isn't a group of high school kids, it's a group of- well, anyone. so there's some awkwardness here. definitely. ]
Hi, hello. My name is Gwen Stacy - [ head intern here at Oscorp Industries no wait, don't go on autopilot, this isn't work ] - and I'm new here. On the ship. Newish. [ there were two days of quiet oh god this is real panicking in her room before this moment ] I haven't been paired up with anyone just yet, but I will be a warden. That said, I do have a few questions about the kinds of things that go on here, semi-regularly, at least.
Back home, I was just a few weeks away from my high school graduation ceremony. Which, yes, means I'm technically done with classes, but it feels kind of wrong not to at least try and keep up on studying while I'm here? I might not know when I'll be going back, but I'd rather not be completely rusty when I'm about to head off to college, you know? So.
So I guess what I'm trying to ask - [ yes geeze stop rambling ] - is if there are any classes that go on regularly here? I know we have classrooms, but I haven't come across any kind of class ..schedule yet. I was wondering if there is anything like that here, or if anyone would be interested in maybe starting some kind of study group? [ she's prepared for all that "what a dork" reactions, she is. but. there's that. this is what she cares about, yep ] One with no specific subjects in mind, but just- something to keep us sharp. I'm more of a science and math focused student, but I would be up for just about anything, at this point. I was a tutor, back home, so I would also be up for running any sessions, if nobody else was up for it. At least until I'm assigned an inmate, then I'll have to see if I have time for it, and-
[ hup. no. stopping herself there. she nods, huffs, grins. ]
Right. Let me know?
-- And thank you for your time.
[ eta ooc: OH YEAH so her 4th wall is free to be shattered in whatever way, but please nothing about her comicbooky fate. just cause. reasons. it's on her permissions post, but I figured a note on her intro was a good idea too ]

crap
There's a part of him that's suddenly terrified, because with the way things have been looking, this is not a great time to be a new warden on the Barge. Or an inmate. Or anyone, and so there's something in him that wants to scream no, this isn't safe, she shouldn't be here-
But. It's been over a year since he's seen her last, and so he's got sort of a really stupid smile when he clicks on the video feed, and just.]
Still trying to be first in the class? ["Trying." He knows you are.
... yeah. Hi.]

You're here. I can't believe you're here. What are you doing here? Is this- [ a spider-man thing, really? is that what you're about to ask? shhhhhh ] - Are you okay? Where are you?

OOC NOTE: logistical mistakes were made in the previous tag, will continue on the regular thread tho
There was an attempt to put together bare-bones high school, but it fell apart a bit - half the teachers vanished, students had very different needs, and it's difficult to put schedules together between people with job details and everyone getting periodically turned into children or mermaids or what have you, so there are only three classes offered right now.

Are you alright? You should maybe see the nurse, if you can. You sound a little sick.
[ REALLY SICK, but she's trying not to-
oh wait no she totally overstepped her bounds, didn't she? ]
... Not that that's any of my business. I don't even know if we have a nurse here. Do we have a nurse here? Either way.

I didn't realize I was so popular.

I'm Lydia Martin. [Yes, she has a big, friendly smile on her lips. She doesn't like how popular Gwen seems to be. Even if she's over that (mostly) back home, it's instinct for her to measure up the new competition. Yes, competition, because they are clearly about the same age and she knows just how obsessed some guys are with Spiderman and that includes Gwen Stacy.
But at least, it's very obvious Lydia wins in the intelligence department. She still spends all of her free time reading, but she would never feel rusty thank you very much. Also, she obviously wins at interpersonal skills and not rambling.
Maybe Gwen won't be that bad, but she still wants to make sure.]
I haven't heard of any classes around here but I'll be sure to let you know if I do!
no subject
doesn't mean she'll just sit back and take it, but she's ready for it. ]
Thank you so much, Lydia. [ dripping with the same kind of tone Lydia took with her ] Someone just told me that there are three classes available for passengers to get involved in here, but I guess you heard anything about those. I'll have to ask someone else about how people go about signing up.

Oh aye, I'm Iris. Iris Wildthyme. I've been teaching biology - oooh, it'll be dead useful to 'ave someone actually trained in teaching, I expect.
[And by useful she means that Iris makes up the syllabus as she goes along, and the random gaps and inconsistencies in her students' knowledge will drive Gwen batty. But Iris always keeps a lot of benefit of the doubt in stock.]

Nice to meet you, Iris.
And I'm an after school tutor, more than a teacher, but I would be more than willing to help in whatever way I can, of course.

Hey, Gwen. Welcome to the Barge.
I'm Stiles. I don't know about classes or if there are any. If there are, I haven't heard anything about them yet.
Video
And I heard there are classes, but only three due to scheduling conflicts. Which is fine, I guess, it makes sense. More important things to focus on, right?

[Possibly with the worst time ever if everyone who tried to strong arm her into going back home is to be believed.]
I know they used to run a couple high school classes here the last time I was on board. They tried to get me to join since I was almost done with high school, but I wasn't interested at the time.
I don't know if they've been offering anything at the college level though or if the classes are still running. I know a lot of the teachers have left between now and then. But it probably wouldn't hurt to maybe take the initiative and organize something yourself?
[It also probably could not hurt Elena to do something like that even if she's still a little undecided about college.]

[ someone that came back. that's.. interesting. it's one thing to hear that a warden wants to stay, maybe the Admiral can fix more than just one thing if a Warden sticks around to help. but to have someone come back, that's interesting. a good interesting. hopeful. ]
I'll have to see if there's an interest, I suppose. [ she sounds half "i'm up for the challenge!" and half "hmmmmm" ] If nothing else I'm more than willing to just set up private tutoring sessions with anybody that wants to learn something I've been studying. [ though that sounds weird, once she's said it, and her nose scrunches up a bit ] Education is important to me, but I'm sure there are more pressing things to worry about here.
