Hunting 101, Thursday

[psychic_wonder]

Sam was looking a little disgruntled as he stood in front of the class today, surrounded by bags. There was a suitcase that said BLACK SHEEP, a long telescope case that said RESPONSIBLE FOR MOM'S DEATH and other small bags with peeks of BROTHER and BOYFRIEND that he was trying to kick under the desk without drawing too much attention. There was

Listen to the lecture [11/19]

[psychic_wonder]

And try not to get hit by anything. Thanks, Fandom.

Yeah, Kathy was collecting a healthy (or maybe less-than-healthy) number of bags during class. She was doing her best to keep them contained and flipped facedown under her desk, but four had popped up during the lecture itself and for all Kathy knew, more were incoming.

It made it hard as hell to take notes, but Terrible Daughter made for a decent enough footrest.

True to form, all of Four's (many, many) bags were black.

Most of them read "Daddy issues."

Ada just kept methodically scooting her bags under her desk with her foot, doing her best to keep her eyes on Sam and not read the strange luggage.

She'd kinda gotten the gist after "monster's daughter," "doomed like her mother," and "freakshow" had shown up. She was seriously considering taking them down to the beach to drown the lot.

Question 1 [11/19]

[psychic_wonder]

What would your fantasy hallucination look like, if you're willing to share?

Re: Question 1 [11/19]

[spin_kick_snap]

Yeah, Kathy remembered all too well what her fantasy hallucination looked like. Thanks Gaunt.

Oh, and thank you island for deciding to send her another few bags. Mirror Junkie and Betrayed A Friend joined the rest under her desk, put there with a little more force than was strictly necessary.

So...no. She didn't think she'd be sharing her fantasy hallucination with the class.

"Probably close to this island, minus the luggage," Four said a little wryly. "Travel, endless electricity and hot water, cake all the time? Sign me up."

"It'd probably start with my dad not dyin when I was tiny," Lottie mused. "And then all of my friends from home would be at school with me. And we'd all have pet wendigos!"

Had she mentioned that wendigos in her world were more like anthropomorphic, yak-eating dogs? Because that was an important part of this fantasy.

Question 2 [11/19]

[psychic_wonder]

Would it be better to go out peaceful and happy, or fighting whatever was attacking you?

Re: Question 2 [11/19]

[spin_kick_snap]

"I'd rather go fighting," Kathy said, with a touch more ferocity than might have been expected. "At least if you're fighting, you have a chance. You fall into a dream and you're just stuck there until you're dead. Let me fight and if I die, at least I go knowing that I tried to make a difference."

Re: Question 2 [11/19]

[dauntless_four]

"Fighting," Four said, decisively.

Re: Question 2 [11/19]

[notamascot]

"Fighting," Kaylin said firmly, staring down the bag that said 'Better Off Dead'. "What's the point of just dreaming yourself to death?"

Talk to Sam [11/19]

[psychic_wonder]

Before or after class.

He's already been smacked by a tote bag that says ASKS MORBID QUESTIONS, so he knows, really.
