fandomhigh | Through a Glass Darkly: Spies and Spying; Week 9

Aly was having a staring contest with three of the tiny trolls when the class arrived. They had their clubs raised but hadn't, yet, attacked. She stroked the beaded necklace at her throat, looking amused, and then consciously turned her attention to the class. The trolls grunted at each other a few times before forming a huddle. They looked like football players trying to call a play without a quarterback in charge.

"Morning all," Aly said with a grin. "I hope you had a good break and an enjoyable Halloween. Today we're going to take a cue from Halloween and practice dressing up for a role." She gestured towards the back of the classroom where there were clothes of all varieties and sorts, makeups, brushes, wigs, skull caps, props, pretty much anything that could be used to costume or disguise a person.

"The general goal when choosing a disguise is to be unnoticeable in the company you're going to be keeping. Whether it's a Court ball or a back alley den, you want to fit into the place without comment or question. If that means using makeup to roughen your skin, a wig to disguise an obvious hair color - or dye for a longer term mission, or simply different clothing to appear a diplomat, thief, or simple, everyday politician, then that's what you're going to want to do."

"Today, your job is to dress up - use the makeup, wigs, clothing - as someone other than who you are. Next week, we'll talk about how to put together the rest of your cover, how to move, how to enter situations, how to be convincing in the role. But for today, just put together a disguise for yourself. Help each other figure out who you are and why you're dressing and making yourself up the way to are, and at the end of the class, I'd like everyone to give a short presentation on who you are and where you're going dressed like that. And I don't want to see anyone dress up like a 'student' unless it's something very, very different from your everyday student wear."

[OOC: OCD ~~coming up~~ is up! And do feel free to mod the costumes, makeup, and props. Be creative! Also, there's an unexpected visitor to the class...]

Setsuna wondered if the fact that she sort of resembled the living dead today, paler than even usual, circles under eyes, messier ponytail, was disguise enough.

But she did have fun distracting herself with the costumes. Until, burning red, she happened across one that looked way too much like one of her last stake-out costumes (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/skylie/bunny-1.jpg).

Oh, what the hell. She had to put it on. For old time's sake.

[[ holy crap, a chance to use this icon IC? *glee* Ohhhh, Mahorafest arc. XD ]]

They twins drifted toward the costumes, stopping dead once they saw what Setsuna was putting on. They stared. "Trying to sneak into the playboy mansion?" Their voices verged on flat, the teasing tone almost completely lost, although they'd been aiming for that.

Setsuna's hands were idly, inconspiculously hovering over her stomach. She chuckled a little....very little, because laughing too much hurt her head a lot. "Why? Think I could?"

They smirk. No, they weren't about to take that image any farther, they respected Setsuna enough to quit at the outfit ~~although, it was very difficult~~.
"Add one of those pouty model expressions and strike a sexy pose; they'd never know the difference." Hikaru crossed his arms over his chest, keeping up the grin. Grins didn't make one's head thud...

Setsuna looked like she was actually about to try one of those pouty model expressions, but decided very quickly that, no, head hurt too much and the thought was absurd. So it ended up a typical Setsuna scowl, a wave of her furry, gloved hand. "...I'll practise it later," she mumbled, looked around for a place to sit down.

They just smiled and continued toward the costumes to look themselves.
