There was a noticeable lack of Doctor at the front of the class today.

Instead, Cara stood in the middle of the Danger Shop with a number of empty wooden tubs at her feet. Her face betrayed absolutely no indication that she'd spent the last hour wrestling with the control manual for the Danger Shop after getting an unexpected notice from the Doctor that she'd be taking the class today.

"Here's the thing about adventures," she began after the class had finished arriving. She fiddled with a control and a clearing in some thick, overgrown, yet-still-picturesque ~~New Zealand~~ woods faded in around the class. "They're not just running around over the countryside while people try to kill you. That's just the fun part. You may be forced into situations that are uncomfortable, that are unpleasant, that for one reason or another you may find embarrassing." Like wearing froofy pink dresses and being forced to speak in rhyme, compared to that the class was going to be getting off easily with what she had planned.

"Which is why you will be taking part in a modified version of a Mord'Sith training exercise designed to help inure trainees to some of the various hardships they may encounter, as you can see you are in the middle of unfamiliar woods, night is falling, you have no supplies, and you're quite sure you heard something large and predatory in the undergrowth earlier. Oh, and you are wearing only your undergarments." She paused a second to let that last part sink in. "So I'm going to need you to put all of your clothes except those into one of these tubs before we begin. You'll get them back at the end of class."

"I'm not going to tell you what you should do with your time, since that's the entire point of the exercise." Cara fiddled with another control, and a drizzle filled the air. "But you might want to get started quickly, it looks like there's a storm coming."

"No way."

First off, she hated being touched. Second, she hated showing skin, and third, she just plain didn't want to.

So watch her act like she's five.

Ooo, a leader to stand behind. Like, possibly literally behind. Cara was a little scary.

"Think she just wants to see us mostly naked?"

Good, Charlie needed to pull more protestants to her side.

"She wants to make a point for the excercise, and I get it, but fuck it, I'm not removing my clothes. This is fucking high school." And she would have added another 'so fuck it' for good measure, but she was saving that one for later.

"Well, it is a private school," Claudia noted. "Those are known for being weird." Then she remembered she was meant to be supporting the cause. "But I'm pretty sure this is so not what my social worker had in mind."

Not helping, Claudia. "I agree with your social worker. So, not losing any clothes today for me." She could either join her or get naked, Charlie wouldn't complain...as long as they stayed away from her.

And when Cara was five, that might possibly have impressed her.

"I don't recall giving the impression this was optional," she said, her tone more bored than anything.

"Yes well, whatever." One of them was clearly five, at least?

Oh, Charlie, if the Doctor's note hadn't contained a request to play nice with the other children, you'd already be lying on the ground from Cara's backhand.

"If you don't follow my instructions, I will make you follow them," she replied in that same bored tone.

"I prefer to go into that shitty pool with my clothes on and get wet and what not for the duration of the class before undressing." And somewhere in that cocky sentence was a little pleading tone.

"Tell the Doctor guy, whatever. It's not your fault."

Cara might have been more sympathetic if she hadn't already changed the exercise to involve more clothing than usual.

"Which is exactly why you need to do it," Cara said, not particularly unkindly, she was just stating a fact. "Otherwise it will remain a weakness for others to exploit."
