Novice's Guide to Villains and Villainy - Week 3, Period 3 (Danger Shop)

Today the Danger Shop wasn't set up like a classroom, it was set up like a room with chairs and viewing windows into three different rooms.

"Good morning. Today's lesson is about identifying your suspects. Identifying suspects requires observation and deduction skills. You observe the crime scene, find evidence left behind including witness testimony and then piece the puzzle together." Thursday wrote the following on the portable whiteboard behind her.

* Means
* Motive
* Opportunity

"When looking for suspects, you should consider these three things. After all, the culprit will need all three to have committed the crime. When dealing with normal criminals, this part is easy. When dealing with villains, the 'motive' may be 'because it was a day ending with Y'. Every situation is different, so I won't try to explain theories here. Let's try something something hands-on to get you thinking outside the box.

When you step through the door - you can go by yourself or with a partner or two - you are a villain for the duration of your time in that room. The room will transform itself into a new environment and there will be a valuable to steal. Think like a villain. Act like a villain. You have the opportunity, so figure out your means and motive and go to it."

"Don't have to turn into a villain," River pointed out. "It's like a game."

Luke's mind flickered through a series of pictures of Darth Vader before he brought himself under control.

"Game," he said, taking a deep breath. "I can play games. Do you want to play with me?"

"He's evil," River said, referring to the mental images of Vader. "And I can play with you." She took his hand and tugged his arm.

"Let's go, then (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1206683.html?thread=70238875#t70238875)," Luke said, giving her a small smile.
