I'm thinking of going into Staff Development. What skills are people looking to develop?

And/or what skills do you have that might be useful that I could learn?

Do you teach any skills that might come in handy warding off an apocalypse? It turns out this place isn't actually all that willing to help out with that if you're not from here.

[wolfssegen]

Shooting, hand to hand fighting, negotiating with supernatural creatures. I have a pretty varied skillset, but I'm not sure how much good farming, animal husbandry, or anything like that would be. Driving? That might come in handy.

[stations]

I'm not really a gun guy and I'm missing a leg, so I might not qualify as a good pupil.

( That last bit probably takes the fighting and the driving off the table. )

They teach a LOT of random stuff here, though. I'm pretty sure I saw a class on how to play the didgeridoo the other day.

hey man thanks for teaching me how to punch the other day

and i guess i wanna get good at like
finding clues and stuff

[wolfssegen]

No sweat. You were a pretty good student. ;)

Finding clues? You mean for investigations?

[cacophonish]

thanks! 😀 i really felt like i was getting the hang of it at the end there

[ ....in that he was slightly more capable of throwing a full punch. ]

yeah like that
i feel like i'm always missing stuff and not really focused and shit like that

gardening would be cool too

[ She's been stalking this. ]

Teach me drive and shoot gun.

[ This is Katrina being polite, and you can tell because she sounds mostly neutral and isn't hissing. ]

[wolfssegen]

Sure. When are you free? I'll have to start with shooting because I need to figure out how to get hold of a car. Wonder if ADI provides them. ;)

[aelwyn_aberration]

I've got a bit of practice, but I suppose more firearms training wouldn't hurt. Computer skills too, since those are a fair bit different here.

[wolfssegen]

Not bad. I've been shooting since I was a kid, so I know a lot of the shortcuts and tricks and how to clean the guns and all that. I know a bit about computers, but my kid brother's better at them than I am.

I'm in Staff Development too. What do you want to learn? I can teach you how to cook, bake, sew.

[wolfssegen]

Nice to meet you Kate. I can already do all three but a bit of extra instruction in baking and sewing could do me good. I mostly just know cookies and mending.

I could pay you back with some lessons of my own.

[bossyboiler]

What's the most complicated thing you know how to bake? It's not cheating if you have to use a recipe. I promise.

[ Because baking is a science! ]

I already have a tutor for hand-to-hand. [ Thanks Winter! ] I'd like to learn how to shoot a gun. [ She knows it's not as easy as point and shoot. Thanks! ]

Are you looking at a secondary department? It would be easier to suggest things if we knew what you want to do.

It's not very helpful to say "you should learn this obscure runic system with only five living practitioners" if your plan is to hang back and teach people and provide medical coverage.

[wolfssegen]

I'm interested in learning whatever, but investigations appealed too.

@Soldier, text

[worthallthis]

I have been teaching several people self-defense in the evenings at ADI. I can also teach guns but only you have previous experience with them.

I also speak many languages. I do not know how well I can teach them but I can try.

[wolfssegen]

What kind of self-defense do you do? I learned hand to hand from a member of my pack who's Russian ex-military.

Which languages?

I'm always happy to have someone to practice training with. I am in Investigations and Security and most of my background is in such. I also have a strong background in combat sorcery (though understandably I'm not practicing that at the moment) and some reasonable proficiency in hand-to-hand and armed combat.

What kind of skills do you have previous experience with? Some of us come from quite different worlds and backgrounds, it seems.

[wolfssegen]

Combat sorcery sounds really cool. I'd be glad to have someone to practice training with too. I've picked up someone willing to teach me more advanced hand to hand tactics, so another person to bounce those off of would come in handy.

My skillset is kind of all over the place. Driving, shooting, hand to hand combat, survival skills in the wild, hunting, farming, gardening, animal husbandry and taking care of animals, negotiating with supernaturals, leadership, mechanics. There's probably stuff I'm not thinking of, but that's the main gist.

[henchgal]

I can teach you skills related to office management, including printer whispering, email etiquette, phone strategy and top 10 office supplies to use as weapons (#4 will shock you!).

[wolfssegen]

Hah! What a great response.

You know, I could stand to brush up on my office skills.

[this is the most casual and normal post she has seen in the network in a while. hmm.]

it seems like you have a lot of suggestions.
don't you have skills that you might want to learn from your own volition though?

[wolfssegen]

There's a lot that I want to learn of my own volition. I was just curious what people had to offer.

[canofmanji]

i can teach you to gut and cook a fish [Too many people unable to feed themselves in Manji's mind.]

[wolfssegen]

That one, I can already do. That and clean a hunting kill. Deer, moose, bear, whatever. Do you have anything else?
