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."

This was not the first time Tip had had to use cleaning supplies to escape someone larger than she was. So while she knew Windex to the eyes could be very effective, she also knew someone determined enough would happily keep coming after her even while their eyes felt like they were falling out of their head.

So instead, when it was Tip's turn, she grabbed a mop, slammed the mop handle through the handle of a bottle of bleach and swung the whole combination around to slam that bottle of bleach into the side of the simulation's head.

Her arms were probably going to hate her later, but the stick gave her reach and momentum, and the bottle exploded beautifully over the man's head. If the impact didn't knock him out, the pure bleach to the face would take him down way more thoroughly than a spray of Windex ever could.
