Earth Tourism, Tuesday 5th period

[unusual_sith]

"Welcome back, everybody," Lana said, nodding to them. "Today we're going to another continent on Earth. There is a country called France, and its main city is Paris. There's too much to ever see an entire city in our limited time, of course, so we'll be visiting one of its notable tourist sites, the Eiffel Tower. It was built about one hundred thirty-five years ago by a man named Gustave Eiffel, hence the name. It's apparently a very good way to see the city, so long as you're not afraid of heights. If you are, feel free to stay on the first two floors; there are food and shops on each floor."

She'd be going to the top, of course.

"The primary language there is French. My research indicates that a good percentage of the locals can speak our language, but that many of them refuse to, so I'd advise you not to wander too far."

She handed out their tickets and led them through the portal.

"BD can hang onto you, or he can be our security on the ground, to distract anyone who might try to stop us," Cal suggested. "He's been with me on a lot of climbs, and he might actually prefer the ground."

He wasn't going to mention that was because Cal was often getting shot at while he climbed things, because that seemed like unneeded information."

Was it, Cal? Was it?

"Well, if he wants to come, we'll figure out how," Arden said firmly. No Droids Left Behind, dammit. "He might want to be with us as we are the first people in years, maybe generations, to discover what's in that tower."

"If he wants to come, then we'll figure out a way." Or, he'd just force his way along, same difference. "We'll have to make sure we bring our phones to take pictures, or people might not believe we were up there."

"It's adorable you think I go anywhere without my phone," Arden said. And eyed him, up and down, doing her best to give off serious badass vibes. "All right then, Kestis. When we doing this?"

"We could do it after class on Friday? Loosen up in Yoga and then have some fun?" he suggested.

"I technically have another class after that, but we'll probably end up just watching the movie about the hot lady jewelry thieves again so...I'm in."

Because why not mix a little cutting class in with them already climbing the school tower?

This is what happened when they didn't have paintball, obviously. Too much energy. Blame Steve.
