Everyday Skills, Friday 2nd Period

[thefearwasreal]

Unlike the last two classes, today the Danger Shop was set outdoors. Oz leant against a start line, and a trail was marked leading along a field and into a copse of trees, presumably it looped back at some point, since there was a finish line not too far away from the start.

"Today we're looking at teamwork," Oz said. Which should have been the first warning to anyone who knew how Oz liked to build team spirit. "Using one of the first methods that kids in these parts are likely to come across. The three legged race. For those of you who haven't run a three-legged race before, basically you run side by side in pairs, with your middle legs tied together, leading to the term three-legged, though thanks to numbers there'll be one four-legged team today, but don't worry I've figured all that out for you."

"Now one thing we'll be doing differently to normal is the track. Normally, these kinds of races are run on a fairly short, even track, but I feel you're up to something a bit more challenging." Here came that other shoe, ready to drop. "So our three-legged race is going to be cross-country."

Library [Saturday, Jan. 28]

Cassidy wasn't exactly sure what had happened to cause so many unhappy psychic scents in the dorms today, but since she had promised Ender that she would be more careful about running blindly into things, she did the next best thing.

She fled to the library.

Yes, this was her example of using tactics today.

She shelved the books that needed to be shelved and then went back behind her desk to check in the books that were waiting to be taken care of. After she was done with that task, she settled into the chair behind her desk. In front of her was the book on tactics she was still studying and a book that was supposed to be about dreams that witches have.

She was going to be incredibly confused for a bit because that wasn't what she was expecting at all.
