fandomhigh | Adventures in Adventuring, Thursday

Class began, as so many of Cara's recent classes had, in a bar. Or at least a simulation of one. However unlike the tavern Sim, her co-teacher was less familiar.

Which probably explained the grumpy expression.

"Welcome to Adventures in Adventuring," Jaskier said, totally rallying all his enthusiasm for her. "A class I hadn't been aware that I was teaching until today. But we're perfectly able to adapt, are we not, lovely co-teacher?"

Jaskier. Jaskier, no.

"I'm sure we will," Cara said through teeth that were just barely not clenched. "Somehow."

That 'somehow' did not bode well for anyone.

"First we ought to learn all your names, and then perhaps what sort of adventuring experience you have," Jaskier said, making the poor, poor choice of putting his hand on Cara's shoulder. Look. Look. He somehow got Geralt to accept his handsy affection. He thought it would work everywhere.

JASKIER, NO.

Cara smiled at Jaskier far, far too sweetly. "Or we could go with the traditional way of meeting people at the start of an adventure." At least traditional as explained by Magnus. "In a bar fight."

One started by, say, a squeaking bard flying across the bar to collide with the roughest looking tough in the room. Who promptly tossed him over the bartop and the entire simulated bar broke out into just complete chaos. So. You know. Have fun with that, everyone!

You know what? Roll for initiative. For old time's sake.

Prince Sidon, 7!!

Belle, 13

Illyana Rasputin, 10

Harry Potter, 11

Adora, 19

With all the NPC bar patrons. Or, if you're feeling froggy, maybe with each other. Cara wouldn't judge and Jaskier was hiding behind the bar for his own safety.

If anyone actually wanted to pick a fight with the nine foot tall shark prince, Sidon would be more than happy to oblige! But, in the meantime, he was going to offer plenty of moral support to his comrades in adventuring!

"Wonderful!" he called out. "Spectacular hit! Wjat amazing form! You can do it! I believe in you!!"

"This was not what I had in mind for an adventure," Belle protested as she ducked out of the way of a flying mug.

"Is everyone here mental?" Harry wondered, wondering if this was a situation where he could take his wand out.

Maybe Expelliarmus would work on simulated chairs?

"I'm beginning to think they may be," Belle said. "And that this was a mistake."

And that perhaps she ought to duck under a table until things died down.

"Maybe- Duck!"

Because there would be one of those flying chairs hurtling towards them.

Belle ducked. Belle had no desire to be killed by flying furniture.

"Thank you! Do you think these tables are sturdy? Enough to stay under until all this passes?"

"I think it's worth a shot," Harry said, though he was making no move to hide himself, because what if one of these capable-looming crazy people needed help?

There was a giant shark-man and flying furniture and Belle was just one tiny girl with no special abilities. Under the table she went. With a metal tankard in case someone needed a good smack while she was down there.

"I'll just be down here then."

Being brave didn't have to mean being foolish and she was quite sure staying in the middle of a tavern brawl would be foolish.

You know what? Illyana hadn't gotten to physically throw-down with anyone since Strange had put a stop to her predator murder-spree, and she kinda missed it.

With a yell, she threw herself at the nearest person who appeared to be picking on someone weaker than themselves, grabbing a chair and smashing it over their head.

"Wait, what?"

Yeah. Welcome to Fandom, Harry!

Adora flung herself into the fray with great enthusiasm.

And she'd thought being a TA was going to be hard.

After that bar fight.

"Ahhh," remarked Sidon, feeling more energised now than ever, so good job with that one, you guys, "marvelous! What a truly invigorating battle, and it has been an honor to fight along side all of you! But who am I, you may ask?"

Or not. He was just living his best introduction life over here.

"Why, I am Sidon!" He pumped his fist emphatically, flashing his sharp and toothy and charmingly glistening smile at them all. "The Zora Prince!"

He swept into a bit of an elaborate bow. "At your service!"

That part was new! He'd just come up with it!

"Oh, my. You are just so very tall." Okay, maybe Cara should have taken the lead here, but que sera sera.

"Thank you!" Sidon positively beamed; it was a particular point of pride for him. "I've hit a growth spurt! And I should continue to grow for many decades to come!"

He may one day be as large as his father! Who was larger than most houses and some castles!

"Illyana Rasputin," she replied when it was her turn, pulling a brush out of her bag to try and re-tame her hair. She could feel her horns starting to poke through, so it was time to hide them with fun buns. "That was my first bar fight. It was fun."

Illyana, the ~~NPC~~ person you drove a pool cue through his knee might disagree on what's 'fun'.

"Well, you performed admirably?" Jaskier had been hiding the whole time, so who really knew?

"I'm Harry," said Harry.

Yeah he had nothing.

"Huh, another one."

Sorry, Harry, she'd been here just that long.

"I'm Adora and I'm supposed to be your TA," she said, staring at Cara a little more starry eyed than she had during all those phys ed classes.

"I'm Belle," Belle said. "I haven't much adventuring experience. Yet."

Maybe she wouldn't if school-sanctioned adventuring was just tavern brawls.

"Don't worry, we'll fix that right up for you." Why did that not sound particularly reassuring? "Or the island will."

One was nursing a black eye and shooting baleful glances at the other. Zero points for guessing which one.

ADVENTURES!
