How Not to Die, [Friday, 4th Period]

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara had her students meet her out in the preserve. Because Cara was a terrible person.

"My name is Cara, and this is How Not to Die, if you need me to explain the what this class is about, things are already looking pretty hopeless." Which was always the kind of pep talk students needed. "I see a couple of unfamiliar faces so it's time for more introductions, which I'm sure you're all very familiar with now. At least it'll be the last round until either the new semester or the island makes everyone crazy again, and who here actually thinks the former will happen before the latter?"

"Now I need your names, your class, and since I'm going to assume your reasons for taking this class are blatantly obvious, some skill or talent you already possess which can help you in surviving your future endeavours."

Once that was over with, she continued. "Now, as you either already know, or have hopefully been told if you're new, this island is not only completely insane, but regularly comes under attack by all manner of often ridiculous forces, which means it's time for your first practical lesson in survival, knowing your terrain. So follow me, we're taking a tour of the island."

Cara's Magical Mystery Tour - HNtD [01]

If it seems like Cara's leading you down every single side street and alley even if you have to pass the same spot multiple times, it's because she is.

Better you learn alternate routes now than having to figure them out when people are trying to kill you.

This was not the first time Cassandra had gone through an exercise such as this: Byron favored it from time to time when they reached a new area.

It took her a short while to realize this was what was happening. When she did, she released an approving snort to no one in particular.

Certainly, she was getting colder with each passing moment. But something as simple as cold was something to be endured. She considered the entire class good practice. Cara was the first genuinely sensible teacher she had had.

Four had a slight smile on his face after they passed the same spot a second time--he'd figured out what she was up to.

He'd cased the island when he'd first arrived, but this was a good way to see what had changed since then.

Jalian had done much the same herself when she first got here, but not all at once. She made a game of quizzing herself on what was coming up next.
