And on a more lighthearted note...

Alright. I've done some thinking, and given how many people we have on board, and the widely varying natures of your educations, I've decided to host a basic sex ed course over the next few weeks. If you are between the ages of 13 and 20, attendance is mandatory, unless I give you an exemption. If you are from another planet, dimension, or decade, then come even if you're over 20.

Feel free to complain starting...now.

You do realize as a married woman, I need not such courses.

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

[Normally, that would be enough. But given Devon's general hobo-ness...]

...How familiar are you with contraceptives?

[space-mcgyver.livejournal.com]

Whaa! But why?

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

Because as a doctor, it is my job to make sure this ship does not become a festering pit of infectious disease.

...Have you ever set foot inside a school?

[betterthnaliens.livejournal.com]

And what if we don't want to?

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

Then I suppose I'll just have to ambush you when you let your guard down.

[emorangerpink]

Isn't that, uh... a lot of the crew? All taking this course together?

...I don't suppose any of the records that came with me included my cert for this from school...

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

Well, most of the people here went to decent high schools. I figure they'd be exempt, once I ask them a few basic questions.

This is more for the people who know nothing of this subject.

Would be bananas but these are hard to get in postapocalyptic Germany

[saikyocivrobo]

Are you going to make people put condoms on bratwursts?

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

...Maybe. It depends on how silly I'm feeling.

[mecha_eihwaz]

Sex ed...?

What's that?

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

[Hoo boy. This person. Sayla takes a deep breath before she starts.]

In short? It's about the process humans use to create more humans.

[spiralribbon.livejournal.com]

[Two thoughts occurred when confronted by the doctor. One,She was probably not getting that check up. And two, M1's age had long since been classified.]
"I can prove my age! I did not forget!"
[Hundreds of pockets sometimes comes to bite you.]

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

Demonstrating that you already know the subject matter will be good enough to net you an exemption.

[zetahatsudo.livejournal.com]

... I swear you and your brother can be horrible sometimes. When is this thing?

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

Next week. I've got to get a basic lesson plan together.

...You don't have to come, you know. The colonies have perfectly fine schools.

[eagle2-red.livejournal.com]

Any chance of a military exemption? I got fast-tracked into the military at 18.

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

Hmmm....

It depends. How isolated was Corinth, exactly? And for how long?

[marinefashion.livejournal.com]

Any chance I can get an exemption for being 24 and sleeping most of my high school years in a coma away? I've got a pretty good idea of the birds and the bees.

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

Prove it.

[inneedofasmoke.livejournal.com]

Mein gott this is going to be the best thing I've ever seen.

[And Luger has a camcorder with him. Clearly he's planning to film the course. For posterity.]

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're not coming. Even if you want to.

The last thing I need is someone making this even more awkward than it has to be.

[fermionprincess]

I wish you the best of luck, miss Sayla! Education is a hard and thorny path, and yet we must follow it for the betterment of tomorrow.

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

You are coming to this, you know.

[luvs-scimitars.livejournal.com]

[Azrad enters the infirmary only for an awkward silence to ensue. And then...]

I know where to put it.

[He leaves. Just like that.]

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

There's more to it than that, you know!

[Still, Sayla's not going to chase after him.]

[chozo_girl]

[With the "another dimension" thing, Samus probably counts. Doubly so because nobody has any biological data on her.

Unsurprisingly, however, she gives precisely zero fucks about the announcement. She's not showing up nor apparently acknowledging that the announcement might have something to do with her]

[not_the_deer]

Training with a veteran pilot? I'm always up for that!

...Wait, a what course?

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

...I am going to ignore the first part of what you just said because the world has enough innuendo already.

And yes, a sex ed course. But you're pretty young, you can skip it.

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Ehhhhh?!

W-Would this interfere with my training? And my scheduled times in the kitchen?

W-we kinda covered this back at my old school in Fuso...and Mama explained it a little while she was onboard.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

[ ... Char really shouldn't be a surprised, his sister is an adult, and probably isn't a virgin anymore. And she's a doctor, so she's qualified to give this kind of lesson, as well as prescribe contraceptives, but... ]

... Couldn't Doctor Ayame give this lesson?

[ Hey, he has to ask. ]

[an-alpha-wolf.livejournal.com]

I do not need education in how to couple. The idea of an entire course on so simple a subject is ridiculous.

[coolblueiceman]

[Chrono just raises an eyebrow.] Another dimension, huh? I guess I don't exactly have a choice, then.

[He shudders.] Better it be with you, then with the only personnel authorized to discuss it on the Asura... [His face shifts into an outright grimace.]

[sakurasblood.livejournal.com]

Yeah hm...

How about you just don't go there. I mean really, buncha soldiers aroun' pretty sure they know how to be careful.

[Though Mira's half tempted to watch her fail]

[2good4thegundam.livejournal.com]

...You do realize that most of the crew here is teenagers, right?

If this was anything remotely resembling a military vessel I'd be fine, but we're really more like the world's most dangerous highschool.

[2hell-weride.livejournal.com]

Uhhh... right...

I have a girlfriend... I should probably do this thing...

Uhm... is it going to be just one big class? She's going to tease me to hell and back if... we're in the same class.

[listenorbeshot.livejournal.com]

Sex ed? [The topic is completely foreign to the poor 9 year old. But she's got some idea.]

Is that the thing Moms and Dads do when they love each other a lot?

[moonpiercedrill.livejournal.com]

But I take the class every year!

...and I got a girlfriend and...!

[Yeah, there are things he can man up to. Being a new boyfriend and having to learn those parts? Not there.]

[lightning-1.livejournal.com]

I am technically from another dimension. Do you want me to still go?

[subject-0057.livejournal.com]

Wait... what? But I don't even... That is... [The young man is practically blue-screening at this point.]

I'm not... going... to marry? [He doesn't sound entirely convinced.]
