fandomhigh | Through a Glass Darkly: Spies and Spying; Week 15

Aly surveyed the class with a grin as they came in. "Morning, all. Welcome to your last class. Hopefully you've had fun this term and learned a bit as well. I enjoyed teaching you all."

"It was difficult to think up an exam for this class. Most of the time when you're spying, if you survive, you passed." She grinned. "If you get the information you need, you succeed, but staying alive passes. Since I don't think that would be the best idea in the world to do that, I simply have a few questions and one last memory game."

"First, when do you think spying is appropriate and has this changed from your opinion at the beginning of the class."

"And second, in your opinion, what are the most important tools of a spy. How would you continuing building your ability to use these tools if you were to continue training as a spy after this class?"

She glanced at the stash of pens that were wriggling about where they were captured in a bag. "Since our pens and books seem to be rebelling, let's just go ahead and do this orally. I'll ask a few follow up questions because I would like to see how you're thinking this morning."

"Once you've answered both these questions, give the jewel game one more try, and then have a good rest of finals week. I'll hopefully see you next term."

[OOC: Seriously you guys were an absolutely fabulous class. I love you all like pie. A bit of OCD is coming up. And omg, this was always in the comm. Really.]

"First, when do you think spying is appropriate and has this changed from your opinion at the beginning of the class."

Only less with jewels and more with silly pictures.

Once you click the link, study the picture for 30 seconds. Then click back and write down everything you remember on the picture.

Comment to let Aly know how you did.

She'd be more than happy to talk to any of her students.

"My views on when spying is appropriate have remained the same, I believe. It is appropriate when you're protecting someone, and when the paycheck is high enough but isn't compromising your moral."

Setsuna took in a deep breah, and shifted her eyes a bit toward the twins. "But I'd have to say I've opened up a bit to the idea that spying can also, in certain, non-threatening situations, be done for fun..."

"I still haven't had to use it in anything more than reconnaissance," Aeryn says. "And I still think that's the most suitable use for it. However, I can see the merit in really any situation where you need the intelligence. I think it's really only in appopriate when you're spying just to do it, with the intention of invading privacy or obtaining information you don't really need."

"The most important tool for a spy is her perception," Setsuna said, feeling rather smart for that answer. "Without perception, you have nothing. And, umm..." She started to lose a little juice when it came to elaboration, fidgeting slightly. She still found explaining spying difficult; it was just...something you did, really. "You continue building your perception by making sure you never stop using it, and, in fact, always try to make it better."

"The most important tool is your own common sense," Aeryn says. "There will be some instances where you don't have the usual tools available, or you have to gather information when you hadn't been expecting to. I was able to use things I learned from this class to complete an assignment in Criminal Justice class just by remembering what I learned about seeming like you belong there and playing off of that. If you can keep your mind sharp, you can take it from there."

Setsuna did ~~much better than her mun would have~~ well; it helped emmensely that it was essentially the same set of images from earlier in class. The handshake still eluded her, though, as did the apple.

After class, Setsuna approached Aly with a bow. "Thank you for a wonderful class, sensei. I will greatly miss being under your instruction."

"Absolutely necessary when done in the service of something you believe in," Weiss said. "Kind of gross when you do just to be a douche."

Weiss considered this. "I'm the most important tool. My body, my mind, and my control over both. If I'm going to blend in, I have to know who I am and I have to know who I'm being and I have to know them both completely."
