Detention, the Danger Shop 9/16/2006

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

When the students entered the Danger Shop, they would most likely notice that the room was just about empty.  Except for seven chairs and a whole rack of costumes and table of accessories.  Aly was perched on the table with a clipboard of names.

Joxer
Teddy Altman
Pip Bernadette
Walter Dornez
Blair Sandburg
Alanna Trebond
Layla Williams

Once everyone was seated, she looked up and grinned.  "Well, then, since you were so gracious as to come spend your Saturday with me, welcome.  I have three things for each of you to do today.  You're going to need to get the information, carry out the instructions, and then answer the question."  She looked amused.  "To do the first, you'll have to blend into the crowd.  So after you all tell me your names and why you're here, I'll give you your assignment.  You'll want to dress the part then we'll go from there."


[OOC: Detention should last until from 9am-5pm EDT.  I'll be afk from about 4:15-7EDT but I'm more than happy to keep playing after that if you want to.  As a disclaimer? This is quite possibly all silliness.  If you have any questions, get me on IM: spymasteraly]

Ping in here for Aly to give you your assignment.

"What kind of assignments are these?" Layla asked. "This doesn't sound like any kind of detention I've heard of."

Re: Get the Information

"What kind of detentions are you used to?" Aly asked, handing her a folded up sheet of paper.

It read:

Wait on the corner of Regent St and Picadilly for the man with a grey suit and yellow pocket square. He has the information you need, but first you need to give him the code words 'finding the lamb.'

Layla opened the paper, her eyebrows raising a little as she read her assignment. "The kind without covert operations, really," she said.

Re: Get the Information

"It's detention," Aly replied with a quirk of her eyebrow. "You get to expand your horizons." She gestured to the racks of costumes and clothing. "Find what you need and let me know when you're ready?"

Alanna hovered and tried to blend in with the floor.

Re: Get the Information

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Sadly bright red hair made it difficult for blending. Especially since Aly couldn't help but keep a discreet eye on the person under the hair. She handed her a sheet of folded paper. It read:

Your contact is at the event of the season: the Duchess of York's ball. He will be wearing a boutonniere of two white rose buds and one red. The code word is 'determination.'

"Let me know if you have any questions or when you're ready," Aly said.

Re: Get the Information

Alanna assumed 'Can I die now?' was not an acceptable question and simply nodded her head.

Re: Get the Information

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

It would have been a perfectly acceptable question, but the answer probably wouldn't have been. Aly gestured towards the rack of costumes and clothes, quirking a smile. "You probably won't blend in too well in blue jeans."

Walter waited patiently for his chance to get an assignment.

Re: Get the Information

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly nodded at Walter and handed him a folded sheet of paper. It read:

There is a dockside bar called the Riding the Sow. In it is your contact, a barmaid with a purple petticoat. Your code phrase is 'less than a silk purse.'

She gestured to the racks of costumes and such. "Let me know when you're ready."

Re: Get the Information

Walter read the instructions and raised an eyebrow. Today's detention promised to be interesting, to say the least. He went through the clothes and picked out a well-worn pair of dungarees, a heavy sweater, and a knit cap pulled down over his hair.

Then he went to find Aly and let her know he was ready.

"Very nice," she said with a nod. "Done this before have you?" She punched in the scenario (http://pics.livejournal.com/kypriothschoice/pic/00002zbw) only dirtier and more filled with pirates, sailors, and other disreputable beings.

"There you are."

Pip stood at attention and waited for his assignment.

Re: Get the Information

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Very nice," Aly said with a nod and smile at him. "And how does someone with military training end up breaking into offices?" She handed him the note reading.

You will want to meet your contact at Lavender's tea room. Look for the lady wearing a triple string of pearls and carrying a nosegay of violets. You'll ask her for tea with six lumps of sugar as your code phrase.

"Let me know if you have any questions or when you're ready."

Re: Get the Information

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"You'd note that I haven't mentioned which kind of millitary," Pip pointed out as he took the note."

Re: Get the Information

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Does it matter?" Aly asked.

Re: Get the Information

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"I'm not going to have to wear a dress, am I?"

Re: Get the Information

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Only if you think it'll help you blend in," Aly said with a laugh. She handed him a folded note.

At the military parade, find the young woman in a yellow dress. The code word is 'sisyphus.'

"If you have any questions? Let me know," Aly told him. She gestured towards the costumes. "Otherwise, have at it."

Re: Get the Information

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer read and reread the note. Hey, that was a Greek word, as the code.

He could surely remember that properly. Right?

Re: Get the Information

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly wasn't entirely sure what that facial expression indicated, but she was scared.

"You may want to change out of that armour to fit in," she pointed out.

As long as there weren't any people with chairs for heads, Teddy was cool with this detention. He waited patiently for his mysterious assignment.

Re: Get the Information

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

With an amused smile, Aly handed Teddy the folded piece of paper.

Outside the Silver Dollar Saloon, there is a group of cowboys. The one with a blue checked shirt and chestnut horse is your contact. Your code word is stonewall.

Aly gestured towards the rack of costumes and clothes. "Go change then let me know when your readh or if you have any questions."

Re: Get the Information

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy read over the instructions and was mildly concerned over the whole cowboy thing. He'd seen Brokeback Mountain and because of it now had a mild fear of all things Country and Western.

He wandered over to the clothing rack and picked up a pair of worn-out jeans and an old top that he assumed had once been white. No hat, he refused to wear the hat.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Teddy said after he finished changing.

Re: Get the Information

"Good," Aly said with a smile at him. "I guess you're getting your first practical lesson earlier than the rest of the class, hmm?" She went over to the controls to punch up the scenario which I could not find a good picture of darnit.

The sign for the Silver Dollar Saloon swung gently in the breeze while tumbleweeds rolled by in the distance. There was a fairly constant stream of men and quite a few women entering or leaving the Saloon through a swinging set of double doors.

Teddy would have to walk into it (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1016878.html?thread=55659566#t55659566) to find his contact.
