Public Channel - Important Announcement

[cuckooed]

[The day after the Ringmaster's public address, the public channel comes alive again, this time with the voice of Koel Babic. Her voice is quiet, but firm.]

Good morning, everyone. This is Koel Babic, your Head Cook.

Starting tomorrow, the Warden and the Ringmaster has authorized an instructor to hold weekly basic training classes, after carnival hours. All employees will be required to attend the first meeting in order for the instructor to ascertain everyone's defensive and offensive capabilities; after this first meeting, only those who do not pass a preliminary assessment will need to attend.

Oh, and the Supervisors - myself included - will be more than willing to personally escort you to the meeting, should you somehow conveniently forget to attend. I simply recommend you don't inconvenience them. Absence based on injury or illness will be accepted so long as our Doctor, Zecora, has confirmed its legitimacy, but you will be expected to attend the next meeting if that is the case.

[A brief pause.]

That is all.

Koel's Private Frequency

Can't we just verify if they can fight and then send them to you if they fail?

Private

[cuckooed]

While that would be ideal, there are some Supervisors whose ability to gauge such a thing, even on a basic level, is lacking.

[By "some" she doesn't necessarily mean Psii, obviously.]

... I just don't want anyone to feel uneasy because of all this.

[cuckooed]

I know, dear.

[Heck, she feels uneasy. There are kids. How do you protect them from that possibility, in this place?]

[dorkypantsuit]

This isn't supposed to be an army...

[cuckooed]

We aren't supposed to be beset by demons, either. But, we have that problem on our hands right now.

...I don't want people dying if we can prevent it.

[dorkypantsuit]

I know.

[And he does, he realizes it's for the best that everyone learn some kind of basic defensive abilities, but offensive skills as well? Making the lessons mandatory?]

I just. I don't like it.

But I understand your reasoning.


I'll make sure all those in my department attend.

[cuckooed]

...Thank you.

[Hopefully, the lessons will be a quick thing. A thing that is temporary.]
