Which Route?

    by: Doom Author IconMail Icon
Okay, not everyone has taken their seats yet (the earthquakes are testament to that fact), so there will still be people entering the hall when you head for your bag.

You could wait until things have settled down a bit, but the more people in the room means more bags piled on top of your own; at your size it's going to be hard enough opening the zip, let alone shifting several large objects off the top first.

There is the problem of being trodden on, though. The aisle is host to many giants walking back and forth, much larger and faster than you. They could crush you at any moment were you to head out there.

But could they not also provide a ride? If you jumped onto the foot of one of them, you could get to where you want to go a lot quicker and safer. Unless something were to go wrong...

You could avoid the whole sticky situation by using the desks themselves as cover. Fewer people are walking between the desks at ninety degrees to the aisle, so the main problem there would be the feet of those already seated, swinging about in a bored manner. For example, the ones right behind you are the sandalled feet of some young woman, who is experimenting with sliding her feet in and out of her shoes. It would be death for you if you got in the way.

Although, if you could panic her somehow, by making her think that there's an animal of some sort crawling on the floor, you could cause a distraction that should enable you to get to your bag unmolested. Risky, though.

But you're going to have to make a decision soon, one way or another.
