Tactics 201, Thursday Period Two, 24/01

There was a series of very colorful expletives guiding Kerrigan into the Danger Shop this morning as she paced in a few minutes late. As far as she was concerned, this was a major crime against all things right with the world, but then so was the absence of a syllabus--

"Oh, to hell with it," she muttered, pressing two fingers to her forehead. "Hey, class. Today, we deal with defensive installations. As you can see, the sim's set up in your typical Badlands danger area. Your mission for today, and I don't care if you want to take it or not, is to find a partner and set yourself up a suitable bunker area to defend the base behind you. We'll look into the theoreticals next week."

Wait. Next week. Aly. Oh, crap. "...We'll look into the theoreticals two weeks from now. Right now, I'm just curious to see how many of you make it out alive." Beat. "Thank you, Booth."

She moved out of sight. Probably in the general direction of the coffee machine.

[ wait for the ocd up! ]

"...The animals are being weird?"

Kerrigan cocked her head back. A little.

In response, Sokka opened his bag and held up his shirt with the terrified chinchilla dangling from it.

...But briefly. He put Momo Jr. back into the bag before he could make the jump to the shirt Sokka was currently wearing.

"Ah." Her mouth formed a thin line. "I don't think it's another plague, Sokka. Be careful with that chinchilla out in the field, will you?"

It would be easy to blame all of this on a case of the bad feelings, though. There was that.

"The chinchilla's not GOING out in the field," Sokka countered. "How dumb do you think I am? He's staying right here, where it's safe."

Kerrigan raised an eyebrow. "It looks clingy," she said, simply.

"'HE', not 'it'," Sokka sniffed. "And he's usually NOT clingy, he's usually chewy. Chew-y. I mean, usually, he chews on me instead of clinging. But he's been pretty spooked since yesterday."

"I'll keep an ear out to see if anyone else has noticed anything." Her brow creased in a mildly worried frown.

"Snowmonster said her cat was acting weird, too," Sokka added helpfully.
