An Excuse for Field Trips, Wednesday, 4th Period
Today's class was told to dress warm. Not sweltering; whatever they were wearing on the island would be adequate for the trek. They were also told to wear good hiking boots. Not necessarily because they were going to be doing a lot of hiking, though that was certainly an option, but on this particular excursion, proper footwear was going to be a must.
Hannibal was once more in his (designer) jeans and a button-up shirt, with heavy hiking boots on and a large bag with him. "Welcome," he said to the class. "Today, we are heading to Africa. Earth is, in places, a very active young planet, and we're taking advantage of that."
//While America gets buffeted by one hell of a cold snap, we figured we'd embrace a little bit of heat today,// Jono added. He was wearing his usual leathers, because who the hell wore designer jeans to an active bloody volcano, Hannibal? //Or, ah, a lot of it, as the case might be. We're visiting Mount Nyiragongo today, skipping the hike up in favour of catching a portal to the summit, so that we can spend some time watching the lake.//
It was not a water lake, no. Don't be silly.
"You'll want to be careful," Hannibal told them. "Mount Nyiragongo has the largest lava lake in the world. It should be quite impressive; it will also kill you very quickly if you aren't careful. We won't be that close, but in case you are tempted, I suggest you don't."
He would have Bob bring you back to life long enough to make you fill out your own paperwork; see if he wouldn't.
//Where our portals let us off is about as close to the lava as you'll want to get.// A pause. //As close to the lava as we want you to get.// Jono had met their students. //The lava in that lake is exceptionally fluid. We'll have enough time to portal out in the case of the flow getting a little moody, but if you're too close in, so bloody help me I'll be irritated if I have to fish you out.//
He wouldn't resort to Bob bringing you back, but he would make certain there was something appropriately scathing in your eulogy.
"If we were hiking up, the group would be offering dinner. As we're not with a group, I will be providing a picnic lunch - or dinner, as it's several hours later there than here. Apart from that, we will be simply enjoying the view." And the sound, and the tremors. "It should be quite something."

Field Trip!
Over the grill, not over the lava.
Jono will mostly just be making sure nobody decides to go swimming.

... From... way up here. Way, way up here. She'd been raised with a healthy respect for the potential of burning to death, she wasn't going to get closer to that stuff than necessary, thanks.
