Cinque Evers has posed:
On the first and third Fridays of the month, the Jamii Shelter hold their mind, body, and spirit classes for the "guests." The classes are conducted by volunteers, so the type of classes can change from month to month. This month's classes are filled with a plethora of choices from yoga, to healthy cooking, to basic first-aid, to self-defense, etc..

Cinque Evers is doing his night routines and making sure he thanks all the new instructors before he retires for the night.

Franklin Richards has posed:
Standing at near the end of the line of people stands a young man, though he looks more like someone who should be hearing the lesson more then giving it. He was kind of hard to see, but was clearly a fan as head to toe it was Fantastic Four gear. The blue and black hoodie with the black hat with the four on it underneat. The shirt is one with Johnny on it this time, but the black pants are blue with the number four. Franklin Richards stands at the end of the line some what distracted. He had heard of the open classes here, and New York was his home so to him it was just stunning he had never thought of it before.

He wasn't sure what to teach, as there was a lot to learn and so he was lost in thought again. A thought crossed his mind of Alien Greetings... but perhaps that might be too much with only two hands.

He looks up as Cinque comes by thanking the other he gives him a nod to his thanks obviously showing who it is.

Cinque Evers has posed:
Cinque Evers thanks an elderly man wearing a Navy Master Chief ballcap, "Good evening, Boats! I think you got a full class waiting to hear some of your ship stories. Remember the kids are going on a field to the Statue of Liberty tomorrow, so don't keep them up too late." The old Master Chief lets out a hoarse guffaw, "Last time, they were the ones that kept me up late!"

Cinque laughs and shakes his head and continues greeting people. When he sees Franklin Richard, he tilts his head to his right shoulder slightly and extends his hand to him. "Welcome to Jamii Shelter. We are so thankful that you wish to volunteer your time to teach our guests. I know our guests appreciate anything that you have to teach them, and if you enjoy your experience here, we can put you on a rotation to teach here." Cinque smiles polietely, "Well, if you want too. It is tax deductible."

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin smiles a bit looking at Cinque though still a bit distracted he smiles taking the hand shake with a nod. "Ah yes sorry, I was distracted. Franklin Richards, pleasure to meet you, though I am still not sure what to quite go over yet." he glances the direction of the line, and gives the Capatan a small wave then looks back. "With all this experience I would like to try something pratical, but.. I do not wish to overwhealm them either." he nods to the room down the way.

He stops and thinks about it for a moment, "Though I can't promise much after this.. I don't know how long I will still be on the planet.." and gives a weak smile with a shrug. "It tends to get in the way of things."

Cinque Evers has posed:
"Well, we have some junior astronomers who would love to hear stories about outer space." Cinque Evers smiles softly, "I mean if you don't mind answer more than few questions about your family too." Cinque tapping his right foot, stroking his chin as he pretends to try to remember the different guests that have come into the shelter. "I don't think anyone as known as you have come here before.

Cinque quickly snaps his fingers as he continues to pretend that he just remembered something, "There was a man claiming to be the Juggernault once, but he was inebriated and was wearing a waste basket on his head." Cinque grinds his teeth a bit as he recalls the mess that man made to the outside garden. "Not all types of fertilizers are good fertilizers, but I digress." Cinque says, "Well, if this is the only time you can volunteer, we still appreciate it.

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin nods, and smiles, "I don't mind answering a few questions depending they don't pry too deeply of course." and chuckles with bit, "But I am here for the open class of course, I don't want to lose sight of that talking about myself." he grins a bit, "That is Johnny's job and he loves it very much."

Looking back in he laughs at the joke or maybe joke of the Juggernaut, "And I am not really that famous, that is mainly my parents thing. I must just have one of those faces people don't remember too well." and smiles a bit "It has been a bit last minute lately. Running everywhere, Thank you for your appreciation but really it is just a bit of my time so it isn't really anything that big." and sighs a bit just lightly as he looks towards the class again, "Besides.. this might be more for me. Theres...." he falls to silence having difficulty explaining it then stops and rewords it "Explaining things to others will hopefully light my own path." and grins a bit at that.

Cinque Evers has posed:
"Sometime providing light to others can help you." Cinque nods his head slowly, "I know it helped me. I was lost for awhile, but this shelter gave me purpose." Cinque peers around at the different guest filling into the different. Other guests playing games with their kids, guest helping to clean up the kitchen, and some guests being able to enjoy a decent night sleep away from the cold, or the cruelty of the world. Cinque shrugs his shoulders and lets out a deep sigh, "It is not saving the world from interstellar threats, or other super hero stuff.

Cinque furrows his brow slightly, "If you forgive me while I change metaphors, but I believe that I am stepping on unneccesary butterfly that will lead to a better future to many. Well, hopefully." Cinque bites the bottom of his lip, "Who knows one of this children might be inspired by your story to do something amazing in the future, or they might inspire you to do something beyond you thought you were capable of."

Cinque raises his arms in a deep shrug, "But, what do I know?

Franklin Richards has posed:
Franklin nods, and looks around a bit their lives were totally different, but in a way it was all connected so he thought about it for a moment, "I know things can get rough sometimes, and I am sure everyone here apprecieates you as well." he nods over to the group of people. "Sure I might play cops and robbers out there, but is that really helping people?" he chuckles a bit with a shrug as it was a way over simplification of what needed to be done, "It isn't the same as getting out there when ya got nothing and still giving to others ya know?" and shrugs a bit.

As he changes metephores Franklin changes gears since he could talk about how what each of them did was important for a while. When he mentioned the future of the people inside Franklin says nothing though he gives a small smile wondering how much Cinque actually knew about him. Instead he says, "I have hopes for just about everyones future..." he puts an arm of the shoulder of Cinque lightly, and grins a bit.. "Even you... So do not lose that either okay?"

Then he turns and goes into the room, and waves giving a brief introduction of who he is, and how he is from the Fantastic Four. He talks about cosmos, and the different parts of it. How energy beams can process feelings of Hope, and even love sometimes, and while it does get... well a little sci-fi, overall he tries his best to describe it as he knows it for the people inside. After done, he thanks them once again and notes he will be out for questions at the front. Of course he doesn't leave yet, but the class is done so he can talk about anything in general.

Cinque Evers has posed:
Most of the guests are returning to the rooms, while the staff is doing clean up. Cinque talks to the security guards, and medical team to make sure that they are ready and stocked for late night check ins. Cinque lets out an over dramatic stretch and laughs, "I think I ate too much stew at dinner, because I am moving slow tonight. Cinque flips through his clipboard and begins to thank each of the instructors, "Thank you for coming. There are some hot chocolate, coffee, and some desserts for our instructors." Cinque tilts his head to them as he cautiously explains, "I would like to thank you all for coming. We will be closing the shelter in an hour for anyone who is not only our approved night visitors lists. I hope you understand and thank you."
