Adventures, Capers and Escapes - Danger Shop, Thursday, Period 3

Oh look, the Danger Shop was set up to look and feel like they were on a moving train circa 1930s in an empty passenger car. The Doctor was there to greet them. "We're on a train! You might remember that the class is called Adventures, Capers and Escapes. This is the capers part. Your objective is simple. Take over the train. There's a catch. There's always a catch. There's a coal carriage between the forward-most passenger car and the engine and its driver. The door to the coal carriage is irreversibly locked." He pocketed his sonic screwdriver. "Wonder who did that. Additionally, the next three cars ahead of us are full of passengers, including about fifteen police officers who will do everything they can to stop you. Baggage car is behind us. Caboose after that. I love the caboose. I don't love the caboose. I love saying caboose. That's close enough. Go on." He checked his watch. "You have fifty five minutes to plan the heist of the year between yourselves and execute it. Oh, and no killing anyone. Doctor's orders."

"Clearly," said Claudia, "someone needs to run across the roof of the train."

She was nominating someone way, way more coordinated than she was.

"How hard can that be?" Elphaba asked. "I imagine there must be wind, but if one keeps low and allows the wind to pass over you instead of against you, that should help keep you from falling off, shouldn't it?"

She was not exactly an expert of aerodynamics.

"Well, there's the whole thing where the surface you're standing on is moving over unknown tracks and is shaking around all over the place, too."

"...oh," Elphaba said. "I suppose that would make it difficult."

She hadn't ever ridden a train, you see.

Technically, neither had Claudia. But she'd seen a lot of heist movies.

"I think it's something that takes practice."

"I'll go," Roy said. "It's not that hard."

Claudia blinked at him. "You've done that before?"

Of course he had. This was Fandom.
