Read the Room: Practical Self-Defense (Thursday, 10/3, First Period)
The Danger Shop was set up so that students would enter the room and find themselves in the entryway to a small carnival, complete with a ticket booth that students would have to walk by on their way in to class. (It was dark, and had a CLOSED sign up, so hopefully nobody was going to block the doorway trying to actually pay admission.)
Right up front, past the gates, a brightly-lit carousel was the centerpiece of this whole setup, with the bumper cars behind that and the Ferris wheel towering over everything in the background. A few booths with games stretched off to the left, leading toward the miniature roller coaster, and just past the toddlers' train ride on the right was a large inflatable bouncy castle with concessions stands scattered around it and the pendulum swings beyond that. (Anyone looking closely enough would notice that none of the toys on display as prizes at the games resembled any kind of sentient creature. Kennedy had heard about the whole Toymaker deal, and wasn't about to stir up any more of that trauma if she could help it.)
It wasn't a particularly well-attended carnival, judging from the sparse handfuls ofNPC patrons that occasionally straggled by, and the carousel only had one rider on it: Kennedy, who was doing a series of vaults and jumps from one slightly run-down painted horse to another to keep within view of the class while the carousel revolved. Once everyone appeared to be there, she hopped down off the back of a unicorn that had gone slightly grey with wear and sauntered toward the students.
"This is the setup I was hoping to have for you all last week," she said, sounding pretty proud of it. "Will did an amazing job helping me with the program, and luckily she had a backup. Several backups. That I know of, anyway. There's probably more, maybe not even in this dimension. Anyway."
She pressed a button on the remote, and a number of super generic looking masked bandits appeared.
"These guys are going to be after you all. Your job is to make it from here to the Ferris wheel by whichever route works for you, without getting caught. There's a lot of stuff around here that you can use to defend yourselves, so you can get really creative if you want. I'm giving you twenty seconds' head start on them, so when I say go, start heading for that Ferris wheel, got it? Oh, and try not to get any of the other bystanders hurt." Kennedy gave them all an encouraging grin. "Okay, go!"

Carnival Dash! (Practical Self-Defense, 10/3)
[Feel free to mod the carnival rides and games within reason, but you're likely to find beanbags to toss, a hammer for the strength-test game, and darts and a BB gun or two for the marksmanship games. The concessions stands are moddable too, as are the NPC patrons.]
