Reply to comment by Cryptid_Muse in How to Survive College - obviously I get to be bait by fainting--goat

You're probably right. And as I was reminded, she did say they are there for the admin's "benefit," which may also imply another type of interaction with humans altogether.

I hate to say it, but I almost miss the inhuman from the campground. At least they were somewhat predictable at times! But I suppose Kate's experience and family history may have helped a lot in that respect.

I would be more willing to visit the campground than the campus, but thats because they are predictable and survivable and kate made sure of it even before her journey began.

The campus.. I don't want to visit because it seems dangerous as going into an enclosure at the zoo. You may be smart, you may be lucky, or you may be lunch. Ashley has so far been a mix of lucky and smart and with luck her experience may make her smarter and luckier.

Given what laundry lady said.. I almost wonder if ashley is more a samwise gamgee than a frodo baggins. She's not here to be the hero, she's here to force someone else to be the hero. Grayson? Cassie? Her friend that led the former rainchasers?

Yup, totally with you there, campground over campus! (Thank you Kate)

I think Ashley stepped up with the whole pencil eyeball thing, tho.

Fml I don't know what I'd do in your place, Ashley. Probably pee a little.
