Fandom Invasions: A Survival Guide- Friday, Period One
It was entirely possible that Jono was looking a little more grumpy than usual as students filed into the Danger Shop for today's class. It was also entirely possible that he was wearing his long, heavy coat, and that there was a pile of similarly heavy coats and other winter gear waiting for the students at the door. The reason for that, of course, was because a certain blue-faced teacher had gone a step beyond turning up the air conditioning, and everything in the Danger Shop simulation of Fandom Island was simply made of ice.
"This week, I'm supposed to be covering those scenarios where we get grabbed from the island and thrown into places and timelines that are completely out of our element," Jono shared, sitting on a bench in the ice version of Fandom's park, near the duck pond. "I know a few of you will remember the alternate timeline created by Umbridge, for example. I can't imagine as many of you were around when people on the island were thrown into the trio of nightmare realities, between Silent Hill, Rapture, and the Capital Wasteland... Unfortunately, there's nothing I can say or do that'll prepare anyone here for another branch in the timeline. Those who were there are well aware that we had no memories of the here and now, it was all swept away and re-written to suit Umbridge's needs. Similarly, even those three realities I mentioned aren't exactly the sort anyone can prepare you for in a lecture. In situations like that, it's important to be observant, to find weapons, food, and shelter as quickly as possible, and to not be caught out alone. Your best bet in a hostile situation is so very often the company you keep. The cooler head, or the person trained to fight. Remember that."
He took a deep breath. Shifted his weight a little on the icy bench.
"While I'm certain we could all use a mood-killer today, I was feeling too kind to subject you all to Silent Hill, here. You're welcome. Instead... cope with an alternate version of Fandom Island, where all the residents are penguins. Don't get eaten by a killer whale or something."
He would probably regret this decision someday, but for right now, it just seemed like the thing to do.
