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.

There are things about the Carnival that can make it potentially dangerous. The Agents are hardly the first beings to cause problems.

Knowing what to do when something like that happens again can, at the very least, make the difference between you getting yourself out of harm's way when you need to, and never making it back to your trailer to tell the tale.

Oh, my. I never had to do this sort of thing back home. I suppose if it's for everyone's protection, then I'll try to do my best.

[Can you tell she doesn't want to do this? Because she really doesn't want to do this.]

It never hurts to know how, even if the possibility never shows up.

[She can tell.]
