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."

Bel contemplated the assignment. He couldn't exactly use his powers to do it, so he'd have to wing it.

Tori thought about the assignment. This was new for her. She'd never had an opportunity to think and act like the villain, unless you counted the Alternate Universe experience, but she was good there, too.

This was going to be an interesting experience.

Peter had been accused of stealing enough times. Maybe he picked up some skills from media osmosis.

Theft was not an idea Pip was unfamiliar with.

Theft of large objects, theft of munitions, theft of food.

Yeah, he was pretty sure he could think like that for a bit.

Alanna realized that she had no idea what she was doing.

Isabel couldn't help but be reminded of the Art History final. Been there, done that, stole the Goya. But this time she's missing the nun-obsessed vampire as a partner.

Theft really wasn't a foreign concept to Kaylee after living on Serenity as long as she has.

Mel walked through the door on her own. Hey... She'd done enough grabs that she knew exactly how these things were done.

When she walked through the door however she found herself in a jungle and being flanked by a guy carrying a large pack.

"Dr. Smith! You dropped your whip!" he said offering Mel an old leather bullwhip.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I don't do roleplay and I'm not into kink," Mel replied.

The dangershop flunky blinked at her in bafflement. "Dr. Smith! Look the entrance to the cave we've been looking for. The idol we are looking for must be inside."

Mel sighed. Obviously she would have to play along with this. "Right. Let's go in."
