Practical Crisis Problem Solving - The Park, Tuesday, Period 3 (11am-12pm)

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

Anyone who went to the Danger Shop would have found a note on the door saying 'The playground is a nice place today. -The Doctor.'

Sure enough, if they were to run their way into town to the playground in the park, they would find the Doctor swinging back and forth on the swings, legs stretched out in front of him. He waited a proper amount of time to give everyone a chance to arrive before he started to talk. There were free swings if anyone wanted to join in.

"I had this wonderful idea about using the Danger Shop and some fast talking into trick you into being confused about whether or not Fandom was real and whether you were all actually students at a dull and boring boarding school in New Hampshire. That would be morally questionable considering you're technically children in this state and year and I wouldn't be able to reverse what I was going to do with the Danger Shop...and it's a bit mean. Instead we're going to talk about it."

Peter frowned a bit. "It's a 50-50 shot of death," he said. "I think if there's no way to decide, you flip a coin and hope the odds are in your favor."

"You'd be happy leaving your fate to a flip of a coin?"

"Better than leaving my fate to indecision," Peter said. "You know what, though? Why are we going to die no matter what? What sort of imminent peril are we in, exactly?"

"That's a good question," the Doctor said with a small smile. "I like that question. There doesn't seem to be anything happening in either world that would indicate you're in immediate danger. Or there is immediate danger in both worlds, suddenly introduced to get you to make a decision promptly." He waited to see what Peter would do with the new information.

"Then the island's real," Peter said. "Because there's no mortal peril that makes sense in a boring boarding school scenario."
