Hey! We heard that Sebbit can teach us to Scavenge, but nobody has actually interviewed/questioned him yet (and mechanically, unlocked that possibility.)

If I were to visit Sebbit, could I ask him to teach me to scavenge instead of using my action on questioning him?

Also:
Does learning a skill from a skill teacher actually use an action?
Can you learn a skill from a teacher regardless of their Day/Night availability? Or does the scheduling have to work out?

Clever clever! Yes, I’ll say you can attempt to learn a skill even if you haven’t “unlocked” it yet (and you’re confident you’re asking the right NPC). However, Scavenge is a regular action so it doesn’t require learning individually. :) *spoiler* Yes it’s considered an action to learn a skill, though now that you mention it, I might make it so that you’re also able to USE the learned skill upon learning it. But given that Scavenge is a regular action, not a skill, learning OF it isn’t learning to do it, so you’ll have to interview Sebbit as your action in order to find out about it, if you get me. So in that case, if someone else interviews him you could post your action after them specifying that you want to Scavenge, if you’re confident that it’s what you want to do before you learn what it does.

D/N doesn’t count towards learning a skill. I’ll add that to the rules at some point haha. But yeah in this case it’d be an interview.
