Literature in Action Classroom - Tuesday Evening
"Thank you all for being prompt," Thursday said. They weren't alone in the room. Professor Cale and 6 rather odd-looking characters were standing off to one side. "Professor Cale will be joining us for supervisory reasons, and I'd like to introduce you to some associates of mine."
The first was a gentlemen who looked like he'd come straight from a safari. "This is Commander Trafford Bradshaw." Bradshaw nodded to them all cheerily.
Next was a handsome man who looked straight out of a bodice ripper. "This is Vernham Deane. You may know him from Daphne Farquitt's romance novel The Squire of High Potternews." Vernham bowed and managed to look each girl in the room in the eye as he was introduced.
Following on was a woman who looked right at home behind the bar in a Victorian tavern. "Miss Abbey Potterson from Charles Dickens' Our Mutual Friend." Abbey smiled at them all, but looked ready to tell them off if they stepped out of line.
Then there was a young, fresh-faced man dressed in the uniform of the Russian Army circa 1812. "Petya Rostov from Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace." He nodded cordially at them all and seemed pleased to be here and not off being shot at.
A rather short, but anthropomorphised hedgehog was next, wearing clothes and a little apron. "Mrs Tiggy-Winkle from Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle." Mrs Tiggy-Winkle gave a nervous little wave.
"Finally," Thursday gestured to the final man with dark hair. "This is Gomez from The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
They work for Jurisfiction, the policing agency that handles matters inside fiction. Today we'll be going to the Great Library, our headquarters, and then into Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll where you'll be able to wander around Wonderland and interact with some of the characters.
Please make sure that you collect a pencil and notebook from the desk up here before you go anywhere. Keep it on yourself at all times.
I'll ask that three of you go with each agent. Two with myself and Professor Cale. You'll have to hold hands and hang on to your agent firmly. Don't let go once they start reading. The trip will be over in a few seconds. You might feel some slight tugging, but otherwise it's a perfectly safe and easy trip."
[OOC:Wait for OCD please. The link to the actual field trip will be up shortly. Have at it.]
