Bailing 101, Monday
Large chunks of Atton's memory had come back to him already - which hadn't put him in the best mood. Considering that, and the fact he was still having trouble remembering his students' names, he was going to go out and avoid addressing anyone personally if he could at all help it.
That seemed like a great plan. That's why he'd brought them to the Danger Shop and everything.
"So," he said, "Today, we're going to be talking about planning ahead, instead of looking back. Because it's one thing to make sure people don't follow you, but it's another to go somewhere that's both as safe and anonymous as your situation needs."
They were standing just outside a large apartment building. There was a bar located in the basement, and stairs in the back leading up.
"You need to think this stuff through. You want to avoid anyone spotting you? Find a crowd you can get lost in. Strangers, preferably. The last thing you need is to try and hide in the middle of someone's family bash, unless you're really good at grifting and pretending to be someone's third cousin or something. But you also have to make sure it's not an obvious place. Is there anyone you're running from in particular? Well, what places would they never think about going back to? Is there a faction you're running from? Well, where are they strongest? Where are they weakest? Where do they pay the least amount of attention?"
He shrugged.
"It doesn't need to be big-scale, running-away-for-life stuff, either. Like today, we're going to assume you pissed someone off you just met on the street. This person is coming after you. You're going to want to run and hide, but where?"
He waved at the apartment building. "There's a park behind here, too," he said. "I want you to scout the area and find the best places to hide. Once you're done with that, I'm going to give the signal, and one of your fellow students is going to come after you. It's up to you to outsmart them."
