Good evening!

Thank you to everyone who has been taking advantage of the classes at Menrva's temple. To those of you who have not yet had the chance to stop by, please find a schedule available here.

Of course, we are also happy to make space available for additional classes if you have a skill or a subject to share. Please contact me or my goddess Elsa Randall for scheduling.

Which brings me to my second reason for contacting all of you! Since many of us aren't yet comfortable with the Internet, we'd like to raise money in order to purchase at least one computer. We already have a few offers to teach. Any donations that you can spare will go directly towards purchasing equipment and

getting us online!

Thank you very much for your consideration. We appreciate any and all assistance.

I hope to see you at the temple soon.

In fact it's anything that we could find a teacher for! We're happy to host other classes as well if someone has subject matter expertise they would like to share.

Maybe you could list what subjects you'd be interested in. It could make one of the shinkis realize they possess required skill-set

[reformedsinner]

That's a good idea. We could certainly use foreign language classes.

[scrap_metal]

Someone like that shouldn't be hard to find. Perhaps no one came forward on their own, because they didn't thought of it as a useful skill to teach.

[reformedsinner]

Perhaps you're right! Well, the next time I make an announcement, I'll certainly have to list our desired subjects.

Modern literature wouldn't be a bad one to offer, too. I seem to be familiar with the classics, but not much beyond them.

[scrap_metal]

If I could suggest computer programming or something similar would that be very out of place?

And if modern literature includes comics, then I probably could ask someone to fill such spot.

[reformedsinner]

Any computer classes are an option once we have some set up to use!

[He's not exactly sure what "programming" is, but he'll mark it down, and anyone who might be able to teach it should understand.]

Are comics really literature?

[scrap_metal]

No idea, really. Personally I prefer books, so I don't feel particularly knowledgeable about that subject. Maybe they would fit more into art category, or general story-telling?

[reformedsinner]

I prefer books myself. Well, if your friend would be interested in teaching something, I wouldn't turn him down! I'm sure they could be analyzed as though they were literature, or perhaps art.

[...and they might get more interest than classical literature, he supposes with a sigh.]

[scrap_metal]

I'll ask him about it. [ first thing you should do, before you offer someone else's help, Genos ]

Hopefully you will find someone for the modern literature too. [ That would be a good guidance to what start reading. So this is the afterlife. Killing demons and reading books. ]

[reformedsinner]

Thank you, I'll keep looking. I'm sure there's someone who'd be interested!

Let me know what your friend says.
