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."

"Take your time," Kyle reassured her. "You'll get there." He loved this kind of activity and his enthusiasm was showing.

It probably would have been easier had she gone faster, but nerves weren't letting her. Still, she took a deep breath and made it the last jump across.

"Your turn!" she said, turning to salute Kyle. "Okay, scary or not? That was fun."

"I'll be right over," he called and grabbed the first rope. The height didn't seem to bother him at all and he was really into swinging from rope to rope. When the last jump was made and he landed near Rinoa, he gave a satisfied nod.

"Very nice," she laughed. "Do you do this kind of thing a lot?"

"Not this exactly, but I climb and jump over stuff a lot. I'm thinking about starting a parkour club. Bruce said it was a good idea. It's mostly running and jumping and climbing."
