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!]

Billy was here, with a cup of tea, of course. It was the only thing that seemed fitting for today's class.
