Tracking: Urban v. Wilderness; Thursday, Period Three [ 09/23 ].
Angua had made sure to save all of her breathing for before class started and reminded herself that she had to just go in there, choke it down, and talk for maybe ten minutes and then that would be it. She wouldn't think about there was a full moon today and, as a result, she felt incredibly carnal and wolfish and hairy and irritated in human skin and a big giant laundry list of other unpleasant things that was only going to get worse in a room filled with able-bodied youth and a handful of bloody vampires.
"Hokay," she said, since she was trying to not make it obvious she was uncomfortable with class today. "Real short class today, you guys, because I want you to get out there and get working on this today, although you have all week to finish it. You'll all find on your desks a map of the island, including streets and paths in the Preserve. One of the key things about being able to track in an urban environment is to understand the typical escape routes or other roads something you're tracking might be taking, just as, when tracking in the woods, knowing where the deer trails or other indications of frequent movement, can be useful in finding sources of water or prey. So I want you all to take a map and, though the course of the week, figure out at least three different urban paths and three different wilderness ones that could be useful to know. Is there a shortcut, perhaps, behind Caritas that could lead you to interrupting someone's escape? A particular spot that it's easier to get on the roofs and take the higher ground? A deceptively thick thicket perfect for setting a trap? That sort of thing."
"And that's all I really have for you today. Go ahead and head on out to check out some possibilities, or just go home for the rest of the hour. It doesn't really matter as long as it's finished by next week and we'll talk about this in more depth then."
And the sooner they left, the sooner she could breathe again.
