The Doctor didn't have desks in the classroom today.

He had little swatches of carpet. About 18 inches by two feet, rectangular. In various ~~moddable~~ styles and colors. He gestured as for the students to sit on these bits of carpet. After the opening bell rang, he smiled.

"This is Adventuring Survival Tactics," the Doctor said. "And the first adventuring sruvival tactic you need you learn is that those carpets EAT PEOPLE!"

He made spooky fingers.

"Okay, maybe they don't," the Doctor said. "But they could. One some strange planet. Now something else to keep in mind is what you are, in fact, capable of. So that's today. It's a getting to know yourself, and each other, exercise. You'll tell us all your name, what you think your greatest strength is, what you think your greatest weakness is, and the weirdest fact you can think to share about yourself."

He brushed off his jacket. "I'll begin. My name is The Doctor. My greatest strength is, of course, being as fantastic as I am. My greatest weakness is the very rare ocassion when I am overconfident. The strangest thing about me is that I've suffered eight circumstances that would normally have been fatal, but I live on." He nodded. "Your turn."

After everyone shared, he smiled and clapped his hands together. "Fantastic. Now then, you're welcome to talk with your fellow students about the following situation for the rest of the hour. No homework for the next week, because I'm nice like that. Now, discussion topic. What would you carry in your pockets if you knew you were going out into a dangerous place. No backpack, no. Pockets only. What're you bringing? Discuss."

He was a bit smug at that. He knew that no one else had dimensionally transcendental pockets.

"Oh yes, food" Ami slapped herself on the forehead "I forgot to think of food. I figured a pocket knife, duct tape, pen and pencil and matches. Maybe those meal-bars?"

"Only if they're chocolate flavored. If I'm going into a dangerous situation then I want my comfort food," she grinned. "But instead of matches, how about a lighter? Less chance of a problem if it gets wet."

"True, but also explosive liquid. I also figured i have glasses, they can be used to start a fire by focusing sunlight." not that Ami had ever done that, but she HAD read the book about the boys on the island...

"Oh good point," Isabel agreed. "And fire means warmth. What about one of those disposable raincoats they sell? Like at the ballpark or something. They're pretty tiny when they're all folded up."

AMi nodded "good point. We are assuming cargo pants here for pockets, aren't we?" she grinned "Maybe a slingshot? Or at least elastic bands to make a slingshot. Oh!" she exclaimed "rope!"

"I like the way you think. Cargo pants definitely. For once I'll take utility over fashion," she laughed.

"In a dangerous place, i am not sure fashion matters"

"Really? Cause you wouldn't know that watching all those old episodes of Chuckie's Heavenly Beauties or even AKA. They're always dressed to kill in them," Isabel pointed out.

"Yes, but they are not real. They are not really in any danger... I mean if something was chasing me, the last thing i would want to worry about is if my heel is going to break or if my stocking is going to run..."

"Ya think?" she laughed. "I've got my boots for when anything happens here. I don't have to worry about a heel breaking in them."

"Smart. I mostly have many pairs of these." she pointed at her loafers.
