MORE QUESTING! Thursday, Period Four
During Thor's first few months in Fandom, he'd had the pleasure of experiencing the spectacle of the Summer Olympics via the television. The idea had intrigued him, and he'd been quite pleased to find out that there was, in fact, a Winter version of the festival as well. Given that Midgard's Nordic nations often excelled in winter sports, he found himself even more captivated in the events this time around.
... Which explained why the Danger Shop was set up the way it was, with a ski run, snowboard halfpipe, ice rink, bobsled track- and yes, even a curling sheet. In each area, there were athletes ready to give the students tutorials on their respective sports.
What all this had to do with Questing had yet to be explained, though.
"The typical image that springs to mind when we think of a quest is a journey," Thor began. "Hence the previous classes that focused on maps and navigation. Sometimes, however, a quest comes in the form of a contest. Currently, hundreds of athletes from many Midgardian nations are competing to earn glory both personal and for their nation, in many different contests of physical skill. Your task today is to try some of these sports. Obviously, you cannot be expected to master them within such a short time frame, but perhaps you will discover something worth pursuing further! And for those of you who may be concerned, yes, the safety protocols are fully operational and, should you be in danger of injury, will engage in order to prevent that from happening."
