Technology and You- Monday- 1st period

Today the Danger Shop was looking a lot like the BWI airport, which if the students had taken the shuttle in, they were at least a little familiar with.

"Morning, guys. So this is our travel section, if you hadn't already figured that out," Kitty said. "I think you're all familiar with portals by now, so today I'm going to introduce you to one of our more common forms of getting between long distances here: the airplane. In reality it's going to be a lot more hassle than you'll see here, and there are a lot of rules about what you can bring on planes and what you can't, and we're not going to get into that today. In fact I programmed the Danger Shop for a lot fewer people than you'll normally see, too, and you're welcome. We're going to be going through the very basics here: getting your ticket, getting through security, and actually getting to do a little bit of flying as passengers. And of course if you have problems with heights or flying even in a simulation, let me know and I won't make you do it."

Re: Listen to the lecture

Cosette spent the lecture taking in her surroundings with a curious expression. Strictly speaking she'd gotten to Fandom by walking across the causeway, but even if you wanted to count the rest of the process of getting from 19th century Paris to 21st century Fandom, that had at no point involved an airplane. (Several fiacres, a very choppy boat ride to England, a portal, and a cab or two, but no airplane.)

So this would be a new experience. She was not opposed.
