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."

Pip shrugged and ran forward toward the star.

The tall thin one tripped and fell to the side.

"Saints have mercy! Patrick! I've found out how to go into the third dimension!"

Pippi ignores the brothers' journey of self discovery and stops when she realizes there are brick walls between her and the star.

"Hmmm..."

She wacks at the wall with the hammer and a perfectly square chunk crumbles away.

Wafer thin Patric? (http://www.papermario.com/launch/index.html)

Pip rears back and throws the hammer at one of the blocks. It shatters into a thousand pieces. And another hammer miraculously appears in Pip's hand.

"Sweet!" Pippi said throwing her hammer at the wall.

The Irish brothers are completely forgotten.

Pip throws another hammer into the wall and crawls forward a bit, hitting the next one.

Behind them, they could hear the brother trying out their new three dimensional abilities.

Pippi suddenly gets an idea.

She takes off her shell and slides it along the ground at the wall.

It hits the brick wall, then bounces straight back at Pippi.

"Awww, I was hoping it would break the wall..." She said grabbing it and putting it back on.

"Okay." She said as a hammer appeared in her hand. "Let's just do this."

~~Totally meant to put "hits the brick wall, breaks a brick, and bounces back"~~

"Idiot brothers seem to be completely distracted. Shouldn't be too hard."

"Good for us." Pippi nods chucking her hammer as hard as she can."

Pip busted through a final brick and could see the star floating beyond. "We're almost there!"

"Woo hoo!" Pippi jumps up the rubble and holds her hand out for Pip.

Pip grabbed her and pulled her through the hole.

Pippi scrambles through and looks up at the star.

"Cute."

She reaches out to touch it.

As she touches it, the world flashes and slowly vanishes.

"Well, go us."

Pippi turns around and watches as the brothers fold themselves into paper airplanes.

"Note to self. Focus is good."

"Well done," Thursday said. "Even the ridiculous is possible."
