101 Ways To Survive In The Field, Tuesday

"Okay, so I said we were going to be done with the snow stuff this week," Atton said.

They were standing right in the middle of the Cold Canadian Woods simulation again. "I lied."

Or rather, he'd changed his mind after that whole fiasco yesterday morning.

"Cardio," he called, "It's important. I know we did moving on snow already, but you know what? You haven't done laps on snow. Get changed. This'll teach you about exhaustion and cold, which is important. Go, go, go!"

You could blame all of this on Atton filling in for Wash's class a couple of times, kids.

Class met at the causeway tio the mainland today, and Didi greeted them dressed in her Goth Santa outfit. The week's chaos had no effect on her beyond making her grateful not to be human, so she cheerfully ignored it.

"Hi there," she said easily. "Today's class is about the Cacophony Society, which is an open-ended group of people that get together to sow public anarchy via pranks. The idea is to push people's experiences outside the norm. One of the things they're most famous for is dressing up like Santa Claus and descending on Christmas shoppers. Well, it's not Christmas anymore, but any day is a good day for dress-up. We're going to go to a mainland mall, get changed, and have fun."

And with that she turned and headed off to the waiting bus. She could have danger shopped the whole thing, but that would have been silly.
