Backdated to Monday last week >_> My computer broke, whoops.

Characters: Alex and Fortitude students, and anyone else who might sneak in
Format: Whichever
This log is: open
Location: Computer Lab
Summary: Alex's first day teaching
Warnings: Worst teacher ever? (None)

Alex stood awkwardly at the front of the class, looking young enough and nervous enough that he could easily just be a lost student. He started passing out books, first to the weapons sitting in the front of the classroom, then to the rest of the class.

"W-well, I-I guess I'm supposed ta be your teacher or s-something.... I've n-never really taught before, so I guess l-let's start with the i-idea of programming. Ah, w-well, do any of you know anything about c-computer programming? I g-guess, if you don't, uh, j-just read the first chapter?"

Text is just words, they have meaning but no feelings, I would rather write a letter and arrange a meeting.

You c-can read feeling in words! H-haven't you e-ever read a poem? A b-book that makes you cry? D-don't tell me words have no feeling!

[bloodandfire]

Yes but those are intended to make you feel things. If I were to send you a note that said I wish to speak with you, you would not know if I am angry or if I just wish to have a friendly conversation.

[Alex takes a breath to calm himself down.] Y-you learn. By h-how long it takes s-someone ta type, how their grammar changes, e-even typing mistakes, I c-can tell j-just how someone's feeling.

I-it's easier f-for some people t-to tell that th-then it is f-for them to tell by tone a-an' expression.
