So You Say You Want a Revolution: Week 4, Period 3

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly had handwavily notified students that today's class was in the Danger Room and to wear clothes that could get dirty. She thought she was being awfully nice with that warning. When the students entered the room, they would see that it was set up with a series of obstacles and a high ropes course. There was a 50 foot high cliff set up with ropes and harnesses at one end of the room and ropes crisscrossed the ceiling, ending in a zip line back to the floor. On the floor there was a mud pit, cable walk, and other moddable obstacles.

Aly stood at the edge of the obstacles and waited for everyone to arrive. "Okay, guys, over the last few weeks, we've talked about how to recruit others to your side. This week, we're going to work with the people we already have - your group of classmates. This course-" she gestured across the room "-is full of obstacles that you'll need to work together to get over." She grinned a little. "Yeah, you're Fandom students so most of you probably can get over every single one on your own using sheer determination if not magic, but that's not the point."

"When you're fighting a revolution, your life is in the hands of the other people in your pack. They screw up? You'll probably end up hurt or imprisoned or dead with them. Today's stakes aren't nearly as high." She grinned. "So have some fun."

She was glad he'd convinced her to brace herself, because there was a lot of pull involved in holding on to someone who was running up a wall. But she was solidly in place and not falling over the ledge, so that was good. She steadied herself and gripped tightly onto his hand, pulling up as much as she dared. No yanking too fast, or she might drop him.

Proto pulled, hauling himself up just far enough to get his other hand onto the top of the wall. "Good catch," he grunted as he used his grip on her hand and the wall to slowly pull himself the rest of the way up.

"Thanks!" she said, keeping her arm steady until he was safely up. "So that's two of five. Not bad for a start, right?"

"Not bad at all," he agreed. "You sure you haven't done this a lot?"

"Really haven't," she said. "But I hang out with mercenaries, so you learn as you go, right?"

"You must be a pretty quick study, then," Proto decided.

"You kind of have to be," she grinned, "if you're going to hang out with mercenaries in the first place."

"I can tell you do," Proto snickered. "And I'm beginning to suspect that you don't hold them back, either."
