When the class met up, it was in an impressively huge gothic cathedral inside the Danger Shop. It was covered in candles; sunlight broke in through a large gap in the ceiling.

Atton was sitting on the steps, looking irritated. "Today's lesson was supposed to be about self-care on the job," he said, "But the Danger Shop glitched up. I swear, it's like the thing got a bug in there or something, and I can't slice it out."

He waved a vague hand towards two sets of stairs behind the class, leading down into a complicated, interconnected web of bridges and tunnels. "So this sim comes with bad guys, and they're pretty hard to handle. I'm not going to ask you to fight them. But I also don't really have a lesson plan for today, so..." He shrugged. "I want you to go down into the tunnels, avoid or dodge the bad guys, and find somewhere quiet to relax for a few moments. See, the longer you keep going out on a mission, the more tired you're going to get, the less sharp you'll be. It's vital you hunker down and take a few moments to drink and eat, or even just take stock. But the environment won't always let you."

He pointed, helpfully, at a stack of shrink-wrapped sandwiches sitting in front of him. "Take one," he said, "Then go. Good luck."

Yeah, that sure is gothic.

Or just wonder why the hell anyone would build a giant, creepy cathedral like this in the Danger Shop and then fill it with bad guys.

And candles.

So many candles.

There are many, many tunnels and bridges. The cathedral is huge, and the floor is actually a long way down from the platform you started on, so don't fall off anything - unless you manage to take enough stairs down to get to the bottom.

Here and there, large knights - some with enormous shields, some with enormous swords - roam the halls. Avoid them, or at least try to squeak by them without getting your ass handed to you, please.

Take enough turns, enough stairs, enough tunnels, and you'll find small rooms here and there, quiet, littered with benches and bookcases and, yes, candles.

Sit down. Chill out. Have a sandwich. Get your brain back together.

You can make your way back up to the platform afterwards.

He's poking around the sim, muttering to himself about abandoned Jedi Enclaves.

Brought to you by feeling bleh and also too much Dark Souls.

... and now back to my regularly scheduled break-from-gaming time by... listening to the Dark Souls 3 theme some more because it's the best ahhhhh

Four

The more Four poked around, the more he was kind of surprised that Dauntless hadn't set itself up a headquarters more like this.

He avoided the knights as well as he could (the black ensemble was helping him, as was his natural disinclination to make noise) as he continued to explore.
