Wilderness Adventures (Now With More Indoor Things) - 2nd Period, Tuesday
Today was in the danger shop even though things were weirdly normal outside. Maybe because the teachers didn't trust it. Maybe because the only form of public transportation on the island were rickshaws.
But either way, the place was programmed to look like the subway line in New York. Complete with the faint smell of urine.
"Alright, so today will be on an important lesson about how to act while using public transportation," Tony said.
"There's a fine line for eye contact," Steve began. "You don't want to make so little that people think you're up to something, but not so much that they think you're trying to start somethin'."
"Don't sit directly next to anyone if other places are available, it's creepy," Tony added. "And, at the same time, be ready to get packed in like sardines because who knows if the next train will even show up."
Steve nodded along. "Don't start by standing immediately like this," he said, squashing himself way too closely to Tony, "unless the car or bus is already packed. People'll think you're either a pickpocket or about to expose yourself."
He paused. "Don't be either a pickpocket or a guy whipping your privates out," he added in his Cap voice.
"But hey, do keep an eye out for the next pizza rat!" Tony added brightly. "There's nothing more New York there."
"You're currently in the subway station closest to Avengers Tower," Steve said with a smile. "Your goal is to get to the Brooklyn Bridge. There are five ways to do that, though only Mr. Stark would seriously consider the town car option. Pick one of them and see how you do. We'll meet at the bridge and compare experiences, okay?"
