An Excuse for Field Trips, Wednesday 4th period
Hannibal was chipper today. Which meant that Jono could tell he was pleased, and to everybody else he'd just seem content.
"We didn't advise you to dress any particular way this week, because we will be indoors," he said. "Not all of the world's interesting places are particularly beautiful or scientifically or artistically superior. Some are simply amusing. Many, unsurprisingly, revolve around money."
He took out money and split it up, passing it out to the children. "You may of course spend your own money if you like, but we thought we might give you a bit extra." Each of them got fifty dollars.
"Today, we are going to the West Edmonton Mall. The largest shopping area in the Americas - the pair of continents we're nominally a part of. It contains over eight hundred stores, over one hundred places to eat, and the world's largest indoor amusement park."
//Also has an olympic-sized skating rink, a giant bloody wave pool with what at one point was the world's tallest indoor free-fall waterslide, several cinemas, and the occasional petting zoo,// Jono offered. //Plus a lake. With a life-sized re-creation of the Santa Maria. And underground sea life caverns. Some sea lions...//
This mall was a bit extra.
//We'll be spending the entirety of this class here, but an hour isn't long enough to see everything, and so you're welcome to stick around a little longer still. Hannibal and I will be here - I have been talked into shopping hell, this is my life for at least another few hours - and will be meeting people by the koi ponds in Chinatown to send them home via portal on the hour until... I don't know. Seven. Seven seems like a good time before everything starts to shut down.//
"We will also have our phones, should you wish to contact us or have any questions," Hannibal volunteered. "Otherwise, please enjoy a sampling of Earth's commodities and services, and do try not to get yourselves kicked out."

Field Trip!

This girl right here, unless anyone wanted to drag her off somewhere, anyway.
Re: Field Trip!
It was a good think he'd managed to sneak in that weekend home not too long ago, too, because this was just the kind of place to make him feel homesick for Insomnia a little bit, too.

Annnnnd shopping!
Would it be ridiculous to try to hit, what, all 800 stores or whatever by seven? A bit. Would that stop Prompto from trying?
Noooooope.
