How to Be One with Your City, Wednesday, Period Two
This week, class was actually meeting in a classroom. And don't even ask how even that managed to be a little shadier than usual. Things just turned a little more stylized around the Spirit. Just go with it. At least this time it wasn't full-on black and white but just a subtle change. And they weren't going to hang out in here too long, anyway.
The Spirit, who was leaning against the desk, looked up from inspecting his hat once it looked like everyone had filed in. "Morning, kiddos," he greeted them with a nod. "Last week, you had to use your smarts and your senses to get somewhere. Today, we'll be doing something similar. You're going to go into town for a while, but instead of trying to figure out where you should be going and how to get there, you're going to be really paying attention to where you are. You're just going to walk around for a while, and get a feel for some part of the town. There's no goal, no prize at the end of the line, and there are no thugs out to get you, either. And that makes this harder than last week."
In fact, he was fairly sure they weren't going to grasp the point of this exercise until next week. And that was fine. Give it more time to sink in.
"It just you and this little slip of a town. Walk. Look. Really look. Then come back and tell me what you saw."
He nodded at them again, to signal they were free to leave now.
"I'll be waiting."

Re: Go into Town [City 05/29]
He did see a dead bird at one point, though. So there was that.

He ended up out on the boardwalk, looking at the ocean. So that was nice. He felt fairly mellow by the time he got back to class.
Come Back [City 05/29]
It was an open question, yes, but he had a lot of follow-up ones to ask to pick at their brains. He was building up to a bigger point, after all.

This class was turning out to be pretty confusing.
