Around the World in 15 Weeks [Monday, Period Three]

Like last week, Bond was wearing a fur coat when the class arrived at the Danger Shop, unlike last week he was wearing other clothing under it.

"Good morning, class," he said, before gesturing to a large collection of parkas, hats, scarves, gloves and other thermal wear. "Before we begin, I would advise all of you to dress extremely warmly."

When the students had dressed, Bond pressed a control and not only did an ice covered path leading to a city appear around them, but the temperature dropped severely. "Welcome to Yakutsk, capital of the Sakha Republic, and the coldest city on Earth. During the summer, it can be reached by ferry across the Lena river, and during the winter by driving over the frozen river." If anyone cared to take a closer look at the path, they would have seen that the path wasn't so much covered in ice. Bond really gave his class the best life experiences, didn't he?

Leading his class over the river, Bond continued to give a brief history of the city, which was far more expansive than could be found on the average wikipedia page. Eventually, he led them to a small bar on the outskirts of the city, where, while it was warmer then outside, was still cool enough that the class would probably want to keep their outer layers on. "We'll be spending the rest of the class absorbing the atmosphere," he explained. "Sampling some local cuisine, trying the kumis."

Bond was not going to explain what kumis was.

Bod had been in cold places before but after hearing how cold this place was, he made sure to layer himself dutifully so he wouldn't freeze.

Alexander was more than happy to bundle himself up to keep warm, knowing full well the important of such things. And somehow, as he pulled on a hat and some very good gloves, he was feeling somewhat grateful for the cold clime and abundance of clothing right now.

And scarves.

So many scarves.

Again, Karla forwent the warming spell. This wasn't real cold, no matter how much it felt like it, and she was from Glacia. A little--or a lot--of cold wasn't something new or unusual.

Granted, she was feeling it a lot more now, but whatever. She'd just layer up until she could barely move.

When Bod realized what he was walking on, he froze (not literally) for a minute and stared down at his feet. He didn't think they would be put in danger but he couldn't help worrying slightly.

Yes, it was definitely cold enough for Alexander to realize they were likely not in any danger of the ice breaking, and so he found the whole thing rather fascinating. Truly fascinating. Undoubtedly fascinating. Certainly not extra fascinating just to facilitate pushing Cassima out of his mind a little...

Ahem.

Hell's fire and Mother Night. More walking. Karla barely heard the lecture, her head down and concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other. No way she was going to be left behind. She could do this. She could walk. She wouldn't cry, either, even when her muscles burned with strain but didn't warm her in the least.

Karla hated everything today.

Before class began, Karla angled over to Bond, holding out a note for him to take and read. "It's a week old," she added apologetically. "I got turned into an Arcerian cat almost the minute I stepped onto the island."
