Sneaking 101, Thursday

[suitably_heroic]

It was a decidedly sedate Atton who met them at the Danger Shop that Thursday, his mouth set in a thin line. The area they were in now appeared to be the overgrown remains of an old mall. The escalators were dead, and there were holes in the wall. Vegetation peeked out from most gaps; there were bricks and broken bottles strewn around here and there.

"Last week, we practiced with sight lines," Atton said. "This week, it's sound. When I activate the sim, creatures are gonna come out. They can't see, but they can hear really well. Now what I want you to do is to make it from this foyer here, to the Mexican food place up the stairs and all the way at the back. With a partner. The both of you have to make it there, or you'll be sent back to the foyer. Clear? Clear. Go."

He punched the button, then vanished behind a wall.

"Of course not, I never eat girls on the first date," he said, because he was terrible and Cassandra would make that disgusted noise if he tried it on her. "Especially without their consent."

"Good, 'cause I got a couple hundred cousins would kill ya for tryin', assuming I didn't drown you first, and you're too pretty to die," Ada replied cheerfully, because she was just as terrible. "Shall we dance, then, Mr. Pretty?"

"I'm glad we agree on that part." This could be the start of a beautiful friendship. He nodded towards the foyer. "Ladies first."
