I'll have better icons eventually...

[Maybe you heard it while you were in one of your classes. Someone shouting about "fussy rotundas" or "future rhododendrons" or something and then the rumble of something falling down.

Anyway, when you get to your new Carpentry class, there's a note telling you to meet outside by the gardening shed. And when you get out THERE, you'll find a smiling cat woman and a collapsed pile of wood and landscaping tools. Her lilting Spanish-esqe accent rings out over the assembled class]

Good morning everyone! I am S'atanji and I am your instructor for this class. I had wished to take today to perhaps learn your names, but instead we will work together to reassemble a shed while I lecture on how to tell evil beasts from friendly...er, Pokermon, was the word? ...Before you attack!

This will be very, very useful to anything you build. I know this well.

[OK so the new carpentry teacher is a big cat lady. Interesting. He has to wonder if Blaze knows about this.]

I can tell by scent. Do I get extra credit?

[favorsthebow]

I do not know. Do I get extra credit for being able to see in the dark?

Using the talents you were born with is exactly what you should always do. I give extra credit for hard work and cleverness, not for being born what you are.

[whirlwind_wolfman]

You don't get extra credit for anything. You're the teacher, you're not being graded. Not officially, anyway.

...Yes, I know. I was being...ah, what's the word...rhetorical? I am saying I reward effort over lucky accidents of birth.

[whirlwind_wolfman]

Lucky accident of birth? Heh. First time it's been referred to as that, but I'll take it.

I've a pretty good knowledge of carpentry. You ought not be disappointed either way.
