Wilderness Survival - Week 1| Thursday Morning, A Clearing in the Woods

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto waited until the class finished marching into the clearing they'd been given *handwavey* directions to.

"First things first," she held up a large box. "At the start of each class you will take off your shoes and put them in this box. You will get them back at the end of class, if I believe that you have paid sufficient attention in class. Otherwise I get to keep them for the week. After you've done that I want you to introduce yourself to the class and say why you decided to take this workshop."

"Since this is the first class, I'd thought I'd start with something fairly simple. Fandom is filled with many unique and interesting animals, from the ducks and giant squid, to the dancing lemers and weetiny bunnies, to the minature giraffes and shy, retiring teal deer, to John Crichton. Some of these are harmless, others dangerous, still more tasty. Which is why, when lost in the wilderness, it's important to know what animals might be in your near vicinity. One of the best ways to do this is through tracking, the basics of which I will be teaching you today."

Callisto went on to give a very interesting and informative talk on tracking. It might even have drawn the attention of a few teal deer.

"Your assignment today is to split into pairs and identify which Fandom animal made the set of tracks I've assigned you.

"Good luck. You're going to need it."

Sam blinked. "Um. Yeah, I'd have to agree with you there. I didn't realize it reached arctic temperatures here."

"The weekend of the snow monsters got really frelling cold, but not long enough for them to actually live here," she says. "Maybe it's just a regular bear." Though those aren't as fun for some reason.

"I guess it's possible that we could have regular bears here. Or a really robust polar bear."

"Or a student who could never change back to his previous form. That's always a possibility."

"There are students here who can turn into animals?" Sam asks, because that's definitely something important to know.

Re: Pairing 6 - Aeryn Sun and Sam Winchester

"Probably, but more than likely they were turned into them. Sometimes accidentally," she explains. "You hadn't heard about that?"

Re: Pairing 6 - Aeryn Sun and Sam Winchester

[likethegun]

"I've heard about gremlins, zombies, and snow monsters," Sam lists. "I haven't heard anything about animal transformation."

She nods. "Sometimes it happens spontaneously, such as Logan turning into a bunny in the middle of the common room. Sometimes you're my boyfriend and you practically beg to be turned into a grasshopper."
