Fandom Invasions Class #5, Thursday period 4

When the class filed into the Danger Shop today, they found themselves standing in ankle deep water. Looking further into the room showed the streets of Fandom, flooded with water much deeper than ankle depth.

"Good morning," John said, from his slightly raised -- and dry -- spot. "Last week, we saw how strange weather often leads to even stranger things. This week we're focusing on natural disasters, which in Fandom seem to be rarely natural, or the worst thing you have to worry about.

"We're an island so a spot of flooding may seem like a perfectly logical -- though sucky -- occurrance. But Fandom doesn't get just a flood." He gestured at the waterlogged streets. "More than just excess water's swept into town.

"For this class, I'd like you to pair up, and go exploring. Take with you only what you would if you woke up one morning and saw this outside your window -- the Danger Shop will create your requests if they are reasonable. See if you can find anything that might be a clue to why there's a flood -- they really shouldn't be too hard to spot." John smiled wolfishly. "Just try to not let any 'clues' wallop you."

"You can flee", Michael said with a faint smile. "I'll fight. They might not even be the attacking kind, though."

Not that he really believed that.

"And they might offer us refreshments, but I probably won't break out my tea set upon first sight," he said wryly.

"Can you fight?" he asked curiously. "We could both flee, after all."

"We could", Michael allowed. "But I'm not bad."

He looked at Michael for a moment.

"How about," he offered, "if it looks like something that looks surmountable that we stay and fight together. If it's bigger than a certain size, we both flee. And to that end--" he pulled out the broom "we might as well test now to see if it's a viable escape option for us both. I don't know if you saw last week, but I was able to keep away from the snow creature rather effectively by lifting too high for it to reach."

Michael nodded.

"Sounds fair. You should know I can't swim, so... don't drop me?"

He rolled his eyes.

"Give me credit for the one thing I can do," he said before mounting up. He sat according to Michael's size, placing the lighter/smaller of the two at the front.

[ooc: Liir is 5'9'' at the moment and only just now starting to bulk up at all]

[ooc: Michael's six foot, but lanky]

Michael, a little nervously, followed his lead and sat on the back of the broom.

Liir smirked.

"It won't explode. Or splash you. If anything, it'll probably work best over water. The Witch was allergic to the stuff."

And he kicked off from the ground.

"...huh. Yeah, I guess that'd be incentive for her broom to keep her out of it."

He was wondering how someone went through life avoiding water.

"It's what killed her. More than incentive. Necessity."

They floated for a few moments while he explored the difference in control with the extra weight before bringing them back down.

"It seems to work. And we should still have some speed even with the both of us."

"Speed's always good."

Someone wanted a motorbike, and intended to get one.

He smiled and put the broom away.

"Like I said. There's nothing like flying."

"Must be even better out in the sky", Michael said wistfully.
