Heroics, Fame, and You, Wednesday, Period 4

[electrocynic]

Today, the class was meeting in the Danger Shop, which had been preprogrammed so that it was already something other than just a room by the time the students filed in. It looked a lot like a street in contemporary London, in fact.

So why was their uniform-clad instructor looking even pissier than usual? Probably because the simulated passers-by were giving her odd looks and not-so-discretely pointing at her costume, occasionally whispering amonst themselves, and snickering.

"Right, today we were supposed to do a simulation where you do a heroic act on the street, and then try to generate as much good press as you can from it afterwards," Electroclash drawled. "But since the fucking machine in this room refused to cooperate ––" Or maybe she'd spilled coffee on something, causing it to go on the fritz until it'd dry. They'd never know! "–– you're just gonna have to walk around a quote unquote normal, capeless London."

Which explained the sims' attitude towards her costume. You could practically hear her rolling her eyes.

"Well, get to it, then."

[OCD up!]

Victor headed off in a random direction, not sure where he was until he recognized Trafalgar Square. He paused at the fountain to watch the pigeons. If he ignored how one of them seemed to be flickering in and out of existence, he could almost pretend he was really in London.

He considered offering to help get the danger shop completely back online again, but he was enjoying the fake vacation too much.
