101 Ways To Survive In The Field, Tuesday

[suitably_heroic]

"So, this week we're going to talk about cold," Atton said, "And the next couple of weeks, too. Since this is a more in-depth class that already assumes you'll be out in the field for whatever reason, I figure we can stand to spend some time on it."

He was not, mind you, standing in his cold weather simulator. That could wait until next week.

Rather, they were standing in a large clothing store, with a whole host of different types of clothes sprawled all over.

"Today, we'll be talking about dressing to survive the cold," he said. "I want you all to pick out an outfit you think will keep you warm at minus thirty degrees celsius. Then we'll talk about what you did wrong."

He nodded at the class. "Go."

Four was from Chicago a city that got stupidly cold in the winter. Now granted, they didn't always have a lot of clothing to choose from, but he knew the importance of layering.

Shame hats made everyone look stupid, but the colder it got, the less he cared. So there he was, bundled up in black with as little skin showing as he could.

"How many layers have you got under there?" Atton asked.

And how the hell had he found that much black? Even Sith Assassins couldn't find that much black.

"Underwear, long underwear, pants, then something waterproof on the outside," Four said. "Three pairs of socks. Four layers including the parka, one scarf, two hats."

All black. Dauntless boy had skills.

"I didn't know we even had black parkas in this sim," Atton said, after a long pause.

Four shrugged. "I like black."

Noooo kidding.
