Fandom Invasions: A Survival Guide- Friday, Period One

"Last week, we covered the job of the support reserves, from way back when we had such a creature," Jono shared, leaning against the Danger Shop wall, drinking coffee, and trying to ignore that what had to be the most adorable squirrel in the world was attempting to take notes while perched on his shoulder like some sort of cute cartoon sidekick. He'd heard that other classrooms had deer in them, he'd suffer the tiny grey ball of fluff if need be. "A few of you listed some things you'd like to see in an emergency kit. I went ahead and embellished that list slightly, and you can all feel free to take such a kit on the way out."

On the floor beside him was a small army of backpacks, stuffed with maps and basic first-aid kits, a list of safehouses and emergency phone numbers with a calling card taped to it in case people's phones ran out of minutes, a barbeque lighter, a compass, a few energy bars and a water bottle, a wind-up flashlight, and, against Jono's better judgment, a couple of emergency flares, wrapped up tight, with a note attached that said that he'd give detention for a month to anyone who set them off indoors, or without reading the instructions first.

He cared.

"This week, we're going to sort of brush on the purpose of the old fighting reserves. In that we're going to swing random objects at Danger Shop monsters in order to get a feel for what you might want to reach for if it comes down to fighting and you happen to be unarmed at the time. Simple premise, simple class, get to it."

Ace McShane (whose ghetto blaster actually is an improvised weapon in this scene, since it's been reconfigured to jam Cyberman communications frequencies)

The lecture was based around things that Yeul didn't really apply to herself. She listened, looking calm, and poked through her emergency kit doubtfully.

This particular brand of defense was... not terribly near to Liara's. These things tended to be less impressive when you could throw people around with your mind.

She sat there and poked at her kit instead.

Ace should probably not be testing the barbecue lighter.

Well, not more than once.

But what if the first time it lit was just a fluke?

Other people might go for weapons or hiding places.

Yeul went window shopping. She was quite content to look at cute shoes and skirts and bags in lieu of actually paying any attention to the monsters.

If Caius were here, he'd be resigned and unsurprised.
