Read the Room: Practical Self-Defense, Week 3 (9/19)

When students showed up this week, they'd find that the Danger Shop was programmed to look like the cleaning supplies section of a mid-sized hardware and lumber store. There were brooms and mops and buckets (including the really fancy kind with wheels and a contraption for squeezing excess water out of mops), cleaning chemicals, trash bags in various sizes, pretty much everything you might need for that impromptu out of season spring cleaning.

"So," Kennedy said as everyone filed in, "we covered some ways to get away from an attacker last week. Today we're gonna build on that a little bit, because getting away from someone who's coming after you only does so much if they're gonna keep trying to come after you."

She clicked a button on the remote in her hand, and a nondescript human-looking jerk in a ski mask materialized over by the floor wax supplies.

"So. You'll each be getting away from this guy. Take a good look at what's around you, and when it's your turn to run through the scenario, use something in this section of the store to incapacitate him and then make a break for the front doors. You don't get extra credit for being creative about it, but I am gonna be impressed if you are. Got it? Okay, first person up, let's go."

Sure, Kennedy had said there were no bonus points for creativity, but, come on! How could Prompto not want to at least try to make it a little more interesting?

So he immediately went for a spray bottle of some heavy duty cleaning stuff to spray into the dude's face if he had to, and then, with the requisite 'hyah!' sound, went to knock several of the brooms and mops off the wall with a kick, so they all went clattering to the floor between him and the attacker, and then, snagging up a mop-bucket, went to ride that thing like a godsdamn skateboard toward the door.

...it...was important to note that this did not play out nearly as well in reality as it had in his head, but, awkward as it may have been, it at least seemed to kind of work?

Whatever. Mop-bucket skateboard. NEED HE SAY MORE??
