1st Report // Video

[ In one of the student activities rooms, the video feed opens to a very pleasant smile. The young lady carefully places the device down and steadies it just right before clasping her hands behind her back and taking a few steps backwards so that she's seen properly from waist up. There's a very feminine and harmless look to her. ]

Hello students and staff of Smash Academy. My name is Miss Caroline and I come to your lovely school as a representative of Aperture Science Innovators. I am honored to announce that I will be joining the faculty as your new choir teacher.

[ Formal intro over, she relaxes a little and clasps her hands in front of her with a loud clap. ]

Now, you may be wondering how choir could possibly aid you as a combatant. Besides a new appreciation for music and the human instrument, you will leave my class with a better understanding of breathing and breath control. Proper breathing in combination with core muscle control should help you stretch the length of and make the most of every breath you take in the arena. Singing can also be very relaxing and may help you relieve stress and aid your concentration in other areas of your academics.

[ That said, Caroline slips from the frame and soon comes back in with a vinyl record and a small shy grin. ]

Of course, I would love to demonstrate for all of you my own ability. I present to you 'Lascia Ch'io Pianga.' Please, enjoy.

[ She's gone from the frame for just long enough to place the record and start the player. When the song begins, Caroline takes a deep breath before filling the room with a sweet and gentle voice. It's a simple and short song, yet still shows great skill. Once the song ends, she offers the camera a smile and takes a few steps forward. ]

An official class time hasn't been decided on just yet, but I hope you will consider it. Oh, and I would like to offer myself as a math and science tutor as well, if you find you need a little help. I look forward to meeting all of you and thank you for your time.

Video of some guy

My name is Duster, and I teach band here. It's nice to see another music instructor. Our old one left unexpectedly.

Do you play any instruments?

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Duster. I haven't touched an instrument in years. Besides being able to read music, I should honestly say no. Oh, but I would love to plan something collaborative, if you'd like. Do you have many students?

Re: Video of some guy

[pkwallstaple]

Oh, it's not Mr. Duster. Duster's my first name.

I have a few students in my class. I haven't done a class log in so long, I have no idea how many at all My class meets in the late afternoons. I'm not much of a morning person.

[yessirmrjohnson]

I'll try to schedule in a way where musically inclined students won't have to choose between us. If I find time, would you be interested in refreshing me in music?

[pkwallstaple]

If you'd like, I could. I play the upright jazz bass the best, myself, but I'm also a decent piano and guitar player.

I'm really a night owl, so if you'd be fine with something in the evening or late afternoon, we could work something out.

[yessirmrjohnson]

Speaking of night, I was wondering if you knew a good bar in the area?

[pkwallstaple]

I think most of the staff goes to the Birdcage. Ganondorf has a... medieval-themed pub, too.

[yessirmrjohnson]

If you have time this week, would you mind showing me where the Birdcage is? I'd enjoy the company.

Are you trying to seduce Duster? Why would you do this. Why would anyone do this.

[pkwallstaple]

Oh, well, I guess if you want. I could, yes.

Sadly, she's all business.. most of the time.

[yessirmrjohnson]

Lovely! What night are you free? I have some flexibility in my schedule.

Well, Duster is in a complicated not!relationship to begin with, so it's best that its all business.

[pkwallstaple]

Oh, I'm free most any nights. Maybe sometime during the week? Bars are less crowded and noisy then. Wednesday?
