fandomhigh | The Living City: Change and the Urban Environment, Friday, Period 3

There was an e-mail sent out to meet at the Causeway today for field trip purposes. And as you might expect, Bruce led his class through the portal strictly on time as the class started.

"Welcom to Gotham City in the year 2015," Bruce announced. A few ground rules," Bruce declared. "Stay in pairs at all times. Crime is less frequent during the day, but it still happens. Keep your eyes and ears open, either for your own protection or, if you're a crimefighter of some sort, so you can do some good. Keep in mind that Gotham is huge. If you stay with me for a few minutes, I'll take you to the roof of the Wayne Enterprises Building so you can get a feel for exactly how big it is. And the way I have our portal set up, we'll have a few hours here, but will be back in Fandom right at the end of class. So if you want a lunch you don't have to pay for, meet back here in a couple hours."

"And if you need ANY help while you're on your own, call me immediately. I have resources, even in the past," Bruce noted.

"Aside from that, explore, unless you'd rather stay with me for a slow moving guided tour."

Hanna had purchased a bag of popcorn, and was considering throwing some to the animals. The ones without the explicit DO NOT FEED signs, anyway.

"This is wonderful," she commented to Sparkle. "Although, I think I would want to see these animals in their own homes, more."

"Yeah, but nobody poop-scoops on the African Savannah," Sparkle noted, turning a little grin Hanna's way. "Still, it is pretty awesome. You big on travel, or do you just not like seeing living things all cooped up like this?"

Hanna hid a giggle behind on hand, and threw some popcorn to the birds. "Both, I think. I did not get to travel until the last month, and then I visited-- oh, Morocco, and Spain, and Germany. Spain was the best. We rode on motor-scooters there." She gave him a sideways look. "Have you been many places?"

This Gotham City was enormous far larger than the cities they had driven through in Europe; she could spend days getting lost here, or finding new things to try.

"A few, but all mostly through the school," Sparkle replied. "Before I came here, I never left Toronto, but the school goes on big trips for some of their semester breaks, so I've seen, like, Italy and Africa, and then I've visited other places besides with friends."

But Nar Shaddaa was really nothing to brag about. Ever. Galaxy far far away or not.

"Italy, I have read about. Africa-- which parts?" Hanna questioned. "I should very much like to visit Egypt. And the Seychelles... Toronto, I do not know a great deal about." She hummed, thinking. "I would like to go back to London, and visit it again. I was only there for six hours on the way to the U.S."

"South Africa, mostly," Sparkle replied, shrugging. "Never been to Egypt, though that would probably be freaking awesome. And the Seychelles? There's this really nice resort there that the school took us to. Seriously. Lots of travel."

He was not going to add that he'd kind of stepped in a dead zebra at one point. Nope.

"London sounds kind of cool, though. I wouldn't mind hitting up London sometime."

"Maybe that's what I can do," Hanna mused. "Just travel for the rest of my life. People were very kind to me while I was on my own... London has the Eye, I could see it from the airplane. And so many old buildings, and the Botanic Gardens..." She smiled a little, and pointed at the ostriches. "See all of these in their own habitat, not behind fences."

"Hell of a goal," Sparkle replied, looking at the ostriches thoughtfully. "I wouldn't mind doing something like that either, I don't think. No idea where the hell I'd get the money for it, but it'd be fun, anyway."

"It will be harder, when I'm older. For you as well, I'd think. People want to take care of younger children, and teenagers. Or take advantage," Hanna commented. "But still. They don't expect you to have money, if you're young. How to get money when you're older..." She tilted her head, and crossed her arms, watching the ostriches. "Without drawing too much attention. That wouldn't be wise." So stealing really wasn't her idea of a good plan, no. "There have to be jobs where you travel. Only travel."

Yeah, Sparkle didn't have his breath held for there to be a wealth of people out there who would be interested in his well-being while travelling the globe.

"Yeah, I guess that'd be it. Become a pilot or something, I guess that's the most obvious one. I really can't see me flying a plane, though."

Maybe he could do the flight attendant thing instead. He had a great smile.

Hanna hummed, eating some popcorn. "I like planes. But I don't know if I want to fly one... perhaps I could find out. Are they very expensive, flying lessons?"

A baby ostrich was fluttering at the edge of the fence, and Hanna had to laugh, and toss some of the popcorn to it.

"A courier," she said at random. "That would be good. To deliver things safely. To Shanghai, and Sydney, and London."
