Unconventional Tactics, Tuesday, Period 2

"Yo, Rookies!" Reno had barely even bothered to wait for the students to take a seat before leaping into his lecture, today. No, he kind of wanted to leap right on in, get this out of the way, and then pretend that he was sleeping at his desk for a while.

He was grinning, but Reno was in one of his moods, apparently.

"What is it that people always tell you about the best laid plans? They go all to shit, or somethin' like that?" No, Reno. That wasn't quite how the saying went. "Well, I'm here to tell you, you can plan ahead all you want, yo. You can take these classes, you can go home and start up a friggin' arsenal big enough to take down a whole freakin' country, but you don't never know what's gonna come barging through the door, bigger'n you and able to take whatever it is you wanna dish out."

He smirked faintly.

"Fandom's even more special for that. It sees you gettin' ready for one thing, it'll do whatever it can to make shit interesting, throw a wrench in the works. Hell, graduations around here are evidence of that, yo. One year, somethin' even blew up the school. Another, even worse, everyone had themselves an eyeful of Madrox's bare ass. In multiple."

And Reno's, singular, but Reno didn't actually see anything the matter with that, so why bring it up?

"Point I'm tryin' to make here is, Fandom Island is a multidimensional hub. And it's got a mind of its own. It knows when you're gettin' comfortable, and it's got every universe and timeline out there to pull from in order to amuse itself at your expense. And that thing you spent three months plannin' ahead for? That'll be the first thing to go, yo. Don't be too surprised when it does."

He smirked, though it was still a little tense as he heaved himself up to sit on the top of his desk.

"Assignment for today is simple, zoto. Pick somethin' you been plannin' for, or somethin' you want to plan for sometime soon. It can be a school event, how you're gonna deal with the next big invasion, a date, whatever. And then come up with ways that Fandom can screw it up for you, yo. If you see it comin', where's the fun in it tryin', right?"

Nevermind that this exercise was something like giving the island ideas. But hey, Reno never said that his assignments were foolproof, either. Heck, maybe he was just taking out his mood on the students by dooming them to Fandom's weirdness. Who knew?

"That's the trouble with Black Widow dreams, too," Karla said. "They're not always that easy to explain and define. I mean, I had two different precognitive dreams in my last trip home and neither prepared me for what I found. It's more that they let me know something was wrong and to be on my guard, but left the details out. Which is probably for the best, I guess."

Raven looked toward Karla with a happy expression of "oh, girlfriend, we have to talk later." "And over-thinking could cause you to be distracted from what it is you are supposed to be watchful for," Raven agreed. "It is wise to plan for the unexpected, but to try to predict exactly what that will be could inspire madness."

Karla grinned, making a mental note to drop by 'Dite's this afternoon. Between that grin and the text she'd gotten Friday, color Karla definitely intrigued.

"I don't believe in any kind of psychic message that can show you the exact future," she agreed. "Because that suggests the future is static and unchanging, and I can't believe in that."
