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.

Nor with strength.

[cuckooed]

Strength alone isn't the solution, nor should it be assumed.

[mylastchance]

If not by magic, nor strength, then what other abilities are we to use to defend ourselves?

[cuckooed]

Keeping one's wits about them is a start.

[mylastchance]

Only experience can teach that.

[cuckooed]

And one can teach others to be prepared for those experiences as best as possible.

[mylastchance]

I already have that experience.
