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]

Carry out the Instructions.

Once you know what to do...

Walter headed into the bar Aliane had set up for him and started looking for the barmaids to try to determine which had a purple petticoat.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

The barmaids greatly appreciated the looks though they quite possibly thought it was directed towards their cleavage and not their petticoats.

"Would you like some ale, gent? Or the whiskey perhaps?" asked one of the cleaner ones. Who was, sadly, not wearing purple.

"Ale would suit," Walter said and took a seat at the bar while he continued to try to spot that purple petticoat.

"Here you are, sir. Anything else I can help you with?" the girl asked, handing Walter a possibly very greasy mug filled with ale.

There quite possibly was a girl wearing purple sitting on the lap of a sailor across the room.

Layla walked around for a bit, trying to get a layout of the area, before going to her assigned corner to wait. She tried her best to look inconspicuous, like she stood on street corners all the time not dirty.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

No one really noticed Layla as they brushed by her on their merry and apparently very important way.

Not even the man walking quickly by in a grey suit.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

The man may not have noticed her, but luckily, she noticed him.

"Hey mister," she called, trying to get his attention. "Can you help me? Um, I need help finding the lamb." She would have added a little wink in there, but she wasn't sure if that would help.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

The man looked over at her with slight terror and kept walking. If Layla was watching closely, he gestured for her to walk with him.

So Joxer was looking for a parade. A parade should be easy to spot, yes? Even for Joxer?

One would hope so. But it's very possibly he'd get distracted by a cute puppy or a shiny penny.

Aly hit the button for her scenario (http://pics.livejournal.com/kypriothschoice/pic/00007e31) as Joxer looked around. The street was lined with girls throwing flowers, old men waving, and yes, several adorable puppies.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Puppies!" Joxer said, watching them. He had this nagging feeling in the back of his head that he was supposed to be looking for something else.

But... puppies!

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

The puppies gamboled over to him and attacked his shoes playfully.

Pip entered the pre-set tea room and looked around for a woman with a string of pearls while he personally wondered what on earth a nosegay was.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

The room was fairly crowded for a tea room. Mostly older women munching on tea, scones, and clotted cream.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip swept the room, starting by looking for people with pearl strings.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Pearls on the ladies? Almost universal. However one elderly lady had a triple string snug around her neck and a bouquet of violets next to her plate.

Alanna hovered at the party, a drink uncomftorably in her hand.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

The party would around Alanna without noticing her too much. A few gentlemen looked her way and smiled, but she was probably going to have to move into the crowd to find her gentleman.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna glared at anyone who smiled at her and finally decided that moving might make this torture go by faster.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

All the men were wearing elaborate buttoneires, but most had more violent colour combinations. Therefore the one man wearing plain red and white roses stood out a bit. He stood about 10 feet from Alanna talking to a lady.

Teddy stood outside the saloon and looked for a chestnut horse first. What exactly was chestnut? He saw a lot of brown horses and even one that was white with brown splotches.

How the hell was he supposed to know about these things? He was from New York! He thought that horses were attached to the carriages and lived in Central Park.

He sighed and stepped into the saloon.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

There was quite a haze in the saloon and one had to step carefully to avoid getting hit by jets of tabacco juice. There were clusters of cowboys drinking, playing cards, and wooing the barmaids.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

Teddy looked around the place and tried not to grimace at the tobacco being spit in various directions. He acted like a big ol' spaz casually walked to the bar and began to look around the room for a man in a blue checked shirt.

And despite coming from an entire race of shape-shifting spies, Teddy was completely devoid of anything resembling such grace in this type of situation.

Re: Carry out the Instructions.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

The lack of comfort was noted by quite a few of the men in the bar who shifted slightly, perhaps getting their weapons ready for a possible fight, perhaps just turning for a better view. His lack of dirt though did suggest some variety of greenhorn and many turned back to their cards or women after a quick appraisal.

The bartender slapped a smeared and dirty shotglass of what could possibly be whiskey in front of Teddy without being asked and then glared.

There might have been a man with a blue and white checked shirt over in the corner under the stairs, but it was difficult to tell in this light.
