Out of curiosity, how many of you have a training or a specialty? It doesn't have to be necessarily related to combat or weapons, of course, but being able to drink everyone on the Barge under the table - though commendable - doesn't count.

[She imagines combat/weapon-related ones will be the most popular, but she'd still like to know how much of a diversity (or lack thereof) there is.]

Out of further curiosity, what is it?

[There are enough smart-asses on board she thinks would just say they have training and leave it at that.]

And for those that don't have any, why not?

[myresponsibility]

I didn't exactly have training, but I guess you could say I've got a specialty.

[pvtparts]

Made up specialties still count, if that's the case.

[myresponsibility]

I was bitten by a genetically engineered spider and it kinda gave me superpowers. And I like to build stuff.

[pvtparts]

[She's not even going to ask about the spider thing.]

Stuff.

[myresponsibility]

Yep. [Oh sorry, did you want more info?]

[pvtparts]

Would you mind building me a clacks tower then?

[myresponsibility]

I probably wouldn't, if I knew what one was.

[pvtparts]

Now that seems a little bit like false advertisement.

[myresponsibility]

Hey, tech's pretty different between worlds. What is it? If you've got some specs and it's not like, a doomsday device or anything, I can probably figure out how to do it.

[pvtparts]

Well it is an Abomination unto Nuggan.

[myresponsibility]

Do you come with a dictionary?

[pvtparts]

You're always welcome to ask my corporal about anything you don't understand.

[myresponsibility]

Who's that?

[pvtparts]

She prefers to go by Mal.

[myresponsibility]

I'll be sure to throw a couple questions her way.

So, what does a clacks tower do?

[pvtparts]

Relays messages, of course.

[myresponsibility]

So, more like a radio, or a phone? Do they have those where you're from?

[He's not being judgmental, but rather looking for a point of reference to understand what exactly this is.]

[pvtparts]

We have neither of those.

[A little bit older there, Peter.]

[myresponsibility]

Right. You got any pictures of it? Or does Mal or someone?

[pvtparts]

The Ankh-Morpork Times probably have taken some, but I doubt you could get copies here.

I suppose I could draw a rough sketch from memory though.

[myresponsibility]

That'd be cool.

[pvtparts]

I'll be looking forward to the finish product then.

[myresponsibility]

I'll keep you updated.
