Through a Glass Darkly: Spies and Spying; Week 12 - Period 3

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly surveyed the class with a grin as they filed into the empty Danger Room as they had been handwavily advised through email. 

"Good morning all.  I'm glad you all arrived without incident."  She adjusted the Danger Room controls for a second and suddenly the students were standing in the Great Hall of a large stone castle.  "Today is preparation for a practical demonstration of the skills you've learned thus far.  Next week, this castle will be filled with servants, nobility, spies, and visitors, and it will be your job to complete a mission that I assign at that time."

She took a seat on one of the benches in the room, and one might notice that she was wearing clothes that fit into the setting perfectly.  "This is a recreation of the castle of my home country.  I want you to spend today finding a partner to work with next week then exploring the castle.  Spies rarely get this opportunity so use it well.  Remember where places are, where hiding spots are, where you can listen to conversations without being heard.  If you have any questions, I'll be around."  She grinned.  "And if you're doing very well, I'll show you some hidden passages.  Keep everything you've learned in mind."

"So go to.  Find a partner, ask questions, explore."


[OOC:  *facepalm* I totally forgot today was Tuesday somehow.  I'm not assigning partners, but I think it should come out evenly.  If you'd rather a partner be assigned, let me know.  Feel free to mod (and have fun with!) the castle's design and what you find.  Just no people are present.  I'll be putting up OCD with different areas to check out so wait for it.  OCD is Up!]

Schrodinger bobbed his head slightly to some unheard music and looked around for someone to pair up with.

Teddy leaned against a wall and looked around for a partner.

"Yo, cross-dressing boy," Jake called out. "Want to work together?"

Sure, the twins were a natural pair, but it was always fun to add a third into the mix..

Maybe she was feeling some sort of desire to seek revenge for last night. Maybe she was just feeling like stirring up some trouble in general. Either way, Setsuna had decided on who she wanted to explore the castle with and she was sticking to it.

"Hikaru," she said, approaching both twins and avoiding nodding toward one, because she didn't know which was which at the moment, "would you like to be my partner?"

Hamlet took in the sights of the castle while he looked around for a partner. There wa something about it that reminded him a little of home.

Molly stopped next to him, also looking around. "This place is so cool." She looked over at Hamlet. "You have a partner yet?"

Seely looked around for a partner.

"You have a partner?"

Aeryn's not looking too hard for a partner, actually. She's gotten bad like that. Someone can approach her if they want, though.

Bridge bounces over to Anders. "Dude, wanna partner up?"

Re: SAS 11/28 - Find a Partner

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Lemme see. With my best friend?" Anders pretends to think this over very carefully. "Well, of course!"

SAS 11/28 - Explore the Castle

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

You don't have to do it with your partner if you don't want. Aly will be around to point out things and answer questions.

The Great Hall.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Lots of nooks and crannies, tapestries to hide behind, sight lines to check out.

Kitchens and Servants Quarters

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Servants know everything, doncha know?

Tiltyards, Stables, and Pages/Squires Hall

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

This is where the pages and squires study, the knights and soldiers train, etc.

The Nobles' Apartments

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Room after luxurious room. Lots of secret places, hiding spots, and passages in here. It's also a confusing warren of hallways, staircases and rooms.

Anywhere else...

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Anywhere else you want to find or play in. Have fun with it!

OOC

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

For there is OOC at the end of the road.

Ping me if you have any questions. Mod to your heart's delight. The castle is very, very old and probably awfully confusing if you're not paying attention.
