Fandom Invasions: A Survival Guide- Friday, Period One
This week when students filed into the classroom, they'd see Jono practically propped up against his desk, clutching for all he was worth to a mug of coffee as a second man sat in his chair, casually sipping at a cup of tea.
Because tea, that's why.
"This week," Jonothon said, not bothering to pause to introduce his guest, "I won't keep any of you any longer than necessary, as a few of you might have limited-time-only company, and it'd be cruel of me to expect you to sit here for long while our guests are on a timer." He glanced over his shoulder at his great-grandfather, who didn't look a day over thirty. Which was weird, yes.
This island.
"This week we're set to cover transportation across the island in case of a crisis situation. That is, if something attacks and simply walking from one side of Fandom to the other is out of the question. Back when I was a student, at least, there were usually a few classmates who were capable of flying, or of teleporting with a few people along for the ride. Obviously, hitching a ride with them would be your safest method of transportation if you absolutely need to get from one place to another, but you can't always rely on the powers of the people around you to get you through."
He nodded at the group. "If walking is absolutely necessary, don't travel alone. Don't travel after dark, and if you must, try to stay to well-lit roads. If the island is being attacked, ambush is not only entirely possible, but around here, terribly likely." Jono took another moment to take a sip of coffee. "For some of you, there might be alternate means of getting around. If they keep you out of the line of fire, bloody well use them."
He cleared his throat, and then waved toward the door.
"No assignment today in-class, because I want to get going and I'm sure some of you do, but your homework for the week is to attempt to cross the island sometime between now and next class without walking through the streets alone. That's it. Fly, teleport, go for a walk with a friend - you might even be able to do that today. If you're good at parkour, do that. If you're comfortable navigating the sewer system under the streets... all power to you, please shower before you come back to class next week. Class dismissed. If you have a loved one here that you thought you'd never see again, go and spend some time with them today. Second chances are so few and far between."
Well. Not where he was from, but...
[Open!]
