Tracking: Urban v. Wilderness; Thursday, Period Three [ 11/18 ].
"Welcome back, class," said Angua as the hour started. "Glad to see last week's ordeal finished and out of the way just in time for you all to take your exams. I was thinking of having you all take a written test to conclude this semester, but you've got a certain handful of classmates to thank for the reason I went with a practical instead."
She assumed that would cause the students to be grateful toward those people; anyone who honestly would rather do a written exam was someone that Angua was going to have trouble understanding ever.
"Do you remember the week where you were assigned someone to track? Well, for the final, we're doing that again, although, since the class focused mostly on adapting wilderness strategies to urban environments, it will take place completely in the city. And, as you can see, I've designed it to be extra cluttered, extra convoluted, and extra busy to make it a little more challenging. I've also borrowed the Troopers again; they're peppered throughout the place and are looking for you, so, in addition to having to track your person and avoid whoever is tracking you, you mustn't do anything to attract their attention, or you're caught and have to spend a penalty in the slammer."
Angua grinned at the class a little. "That's what you get for having a Watchman as a teacher. Which, by the way, I won't be next semester; it's back to just the badge for me, but I'd like the chance to say that it's not because I didn't enjoy teaching you all. I really did, so thank you all for that. It was a really good experience and not nearly as big of a disaster as I thought it was. I'm sure I'll see you all around town, though hopefully not via my other job."
"Now, everyone line up and receive your tracking assignments, and then you have five minutes to prepare yourself before the exam begins. If, for whatever reason, the person you're tracking is not here today, congratulations, you only have to focus on avoiding whoever is looking for you and the Troopers. And if the person is tracking you isn't here...well, you don't know who's tracking you, so, for all you know, you're being chased by no body but Ralph. Any questions?"

Re: Talk to Angua -- Tracking, 12/16.
She let herself trail off. Really, she had to ask. She figured she would be able to smell the difference, but who knew around here...
Re: Talk to Angua -- Tracking, 12/16.
Makita sighed and gave a shrug, since she had no idea how to spell that out, without interpretive dance and a translator. She'd explain later, when she had a voice again.
Re: Talk to Angua -- Tracking, 12/16.
So she nodded, gleaning at the very least that it was a little complicated, and that it was probably an inconvenience but not that...surprising, let's say. She definitely could understand, and she could tell it had the scent of something magical.
It was never hard to pick out the colour of magic, after all.
"Should be interesting, at least," she said with a faint smile.
And she was not allowed to think of how it was a pity she and Jacob were in their current forms and not creating some mini little pack or something...
