Chapter Four: I Make A Game Plan.

[olympicswimmer]

[ Today, the doors to the high school gym are closed, with a sloppily written Secret basketball strategy meeting note taped to them. Inside, there are no drones, just school-aged kids. ]

Okay, today I want to figure out some basic stuff. First, what have people tried to get out of here? Second, what's the most dangerous stuff that happens here?

[Totally dropped by to see what that rather strange sign was about.]

Well city Hall's been invaded a few times. Or attempted to be invaded.

And for most dangerous. Well aside from killing. They turned everyone against each other for a while framing murders on "monsters" that had taken some of our places. And of course what I heard from Westport is also quite bad.

[olympicswimmer]

Who did the invading?

[the_wee_big_hag]

Someone named Sideswipe did it more recently. I'm not sure of the other times. Apparently he had some sort of giant....machine? I'm not really sure. You'd have to ask him.

[olympicswimmer]

Sounds like a plan. Is he in school?

[the_wee_big_hag]

He's an adult and I don't believe he has a job here. I've got a rather list of non drone teachers started but that's at home at the moment.

I also have notes about most major events that happened while I was here as well as copies of documents found in Westport.

[olympicswimmer]

Going to share with the group?

[the_wee_big_hag]

At the moment they're at my house. But yes, if we can get a group going I'd be quite glad to share them.

[olympicswimmer]

That's the plan -- meet after school, pretend we're doing something the drones'll approve of, plan a way out.

[the_wee_big_hag]

Alright then. I'll be glad to join. I'd like to be doing something around here.

[She nods]

Tiffany Aching. Witch of the Chalk. I'm from the Discworld.

[olympicswimmer]

Percy Jackson. I'm from Manhattan.

[the_wee_big_hag]

A pleasure.

Is that from this world? I mean Earth?

[olympicswimmer]

From an Earth, at least.

[the_wee_big_hag]

[Nods]

Alright.

[olympicswimmer]

So this Discworld place isn't from Earth?

[the_wee_big_hag]

No. It's another world altogether. I'm from an area called the Chalk on it.

[olympicswimmer]

So even when we get out, you've gotta find a way back.
