Adventuring Survival Tactics, Period 4, A Classroom, 1/26/07
It wasn't swatches of carpet or bean bag chairs, this day in AST. Instead, there were leather ottomans about. Imported from the Ottoman Empire.
"Today," the Doctor said. "We'll be talking about something you'll probably find even more outrageous than the idea of running away. Today, we're talking screaming. And just so we're perfectly clear, this is not a sexist thing. Men can do this just as 'orrible as the ladies, and sometimes even worse."
"Screaming does many things. Draws attention, clears your lungs, assaults the ears, and much, much more. When confronted with something terrifying, like a Dalek, screaming is a much better reaction than soiling yourself. One is much easier to clean up after than the other. Now, here's the good thing about screaming: It gets people to react. It may get help. It, sadly, might get more of the villains to come after you. It might even kill the thing you are facing, if they're vulnerable to certain frequencies or decibels. All of this? Very likely."
"So, I want you to..." He pulled a set of ear plugs out of his pocket and stuck them in his ears. "Practice screaming. It's an important skill. Also, if you want to discuss how insane this class is, that works too."
"For homework, please compile a list of five situations for which you think screaming is a good idea, and five you think are not a good idea for screaming. Got it? Fantastic."

For which I am very proud
But I sometimes break some things
When my voice around them rings
And it often makes folks mad
To lose the fragile things they had//, Pippi said in formal Dragon.
"Like that?"

"Perfect!"
