[ people have begun filtering into the room in anticipation of your BASKETBALL KNOWLEDGES. ]

[WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PEOPLE, ahem I mean, he's gonna

stand by the podium

...

IS THERE SPARE PAPER AND A BASKET OR SMTH HE CAN USE]

[ there is in fact a stack of writing paper on the podium and a wicker wastebasket tucked in the corner! ]

[TIME TO SPEED SET UP A SIMPLE BASKETBALL COURT WITH A SCRUNCHED UP BALL OF PAPER AS THE BASKETBALL AND THE BASKET SET UP ON THE PODIUM OR SMTH.]

Okay . . . okay, yeah, I can definitely do this, yeah.

[Turns to look at his class once the time starts]

Hi! Welcome to uh . . . Basketball Powers 101!

[ the whole crowd is rapt with attention! because it's the 1890s and basketball was invented like, 2 years ago or something. novelty! ]

[He’s gonna explain basketball rules and stuff the best way any 16 year old basketball player thats naturally talented would (aka “you just sorta get a feel for it”).]

[But it’s probably more fun to watch the teacher do like 29373839 types of trick shots and never missing a single one.]

Anybody else want to try?

[ there are a number of takers, after the oohs and aahs have finished! a number of sporting-looking men and military officers, but a handful of women as well, who offer winks to the crowd. the women seem to be better at it on average, honestly. ]

[Claps hands.]

Remember, find that excitement that drives you! You can only get stronger if you find focus on the things you care about. It could be basketball, or it could be something else.

But for now, the lesson is done! Any questions?

[ what a great lesson!!!

honestly, even though you just threw that together, they're all very excited to hear about this new sport that will surely be the talk of the town. the new fashion!!!

and also it was very inspirational and feel-good. they have many questions for you about how they can acquire basketball equipment of their very own.

you receive 2x "knowledge is power" influence. ]
