Abby welcomed students into the danger shop with the box of lab coats as usual. "Afternoon, guys! We've got a lot to do before we head to the crime scene so lets get cracking."

Walking over to a chart, Abby explained the human ABO blood type system and how to test blood to determine it's type. "Each lab station is going to be set up with this testing equipment." She held up test strips, droppers and the antigens for blood testing. "It's easy. Drop the blood on the strips, add the antigens and see if they react. If the blood reacts to the A antigen it's A blood, if it reacts to A and B antigen it's AB blood, etc. Then do a RH test and to see whether the blood is positive or negative."

Abby walked over to a large block of gray clay that had several knifes sticking out of it at all angles. Grabbing a large knife, she drew it out and then plunged it back into the clay quickly. "This is forensics clay. You're going to stab it today to see what sort of wound different objects make. Match the wound in the clay to the wound in the victim and you've found your murder weapon."

"Now, let's get to the fun stuff!" Abby moved to open a door onto the crime scene, an upscale study that held, among other things, a deceased Molly Hayes, laying across a couch. "Police found Molly during a party at a very ritzy house and detained the other guests. They need you to figure out how she died, what was used to kill her and who did it."

"Also..." Abby looked around the room for Broots. "Just to make things clear, the dead people aren't really dead. The blood isn't real and the bad guys are figments of the danger shop's imagination."

"Now, get to work!"

Parker was hugely relieved that this week's lecture wasn't hitting any personal buttons for her. She'd already had a blood type weirdness occur to her last semester in Bio, so this was stuff she could cope with.

She was also glad the Troopers weren't anywhere near as good as the Danger Shop this weekend.

Janet? Had totally signed in on time and everything. "Enjoying the class so far?" she asked Parker in a whisper.

"Better than last week," Parker said, giving her a thumb's up. "I think I'm getting used to the fake gore." She sent a glare Broots' way. "Unlike some people."

"You're going to hate me, but I love the fake gore," confessed Janet, torn between looking sheepish and giggling.

Parker grinned. "You are so weird. Seriously? Why?"

"For one thing, it's very useful information to know," said Janet. "For another, I'm the kind of person that took Human Anatomy this semester in the hopes we'd get to dissect a few very squishy dead animals."

OOC: Dinner in ten minutes. Back in an hour to an hour and a half!

"We all have our hobbies," Parker said dryly. "Yours are just more nauseating than most, I guess. The usefulness I can't debate, though, since I'm finding it -- interesting." And very informative as to covering her tracks.

Janet rolled her eyes. "Some of us think nauseating is fun, yes," she said. "Horrifying the squeamish is a very nice side benefit."

Billy was possibly I bit too excited to stab the clay. On the other hand he was a teenage boy, so maybe he was just the right amount of excited.
