Wednesday, January 31, Period 1

Back in the regular classroom, M was standing as usual by her desk, ready to begin the lecture once everyone was seated. A slide was projected on the screen behind her.

CLASS THREE: ABSENCES
JIM ELLISON

"I want to first congratulate all of you on making it through last week's exercise without killing yourselves. Although a couple of you --" She looked at Annette and Jake. "Came close. Today we'll be discussing the concealment of weapons, specifically their concealment within other, less suspicious items. I'll ask Blank and Santos to demonstrate the items I have here."

On the desk were two seemingly innocuous-looking items -- a black bowler hat and a black umbrella. However, as Nadia and Marty soon demonstrated, the bowler was actually lined with metal and contained a sharp cutting edge in the brim, and the handle of the umbrella contained a slender but wicked sword.

"Today for our discussion, I want you to come up with suggestions on how you could take one of the everyday items you are carrying with you right now, and conceal a convenient and servicable weapon within it. Think carefully about this, because it will lead into your homework assignment.

Before you leave class today, come up to my desk and pick up your developed photographs from the infrared camera assignment. Some of them were very good, a few of them were odd, and one or two of you may now be on my 'watch list'. No, I'm not going to tell you who you are."

HOMEWORK: Write a description of your own design for a concealed weapon, with the stipulation that it is not an explosive. Explain how the concealment operates, and how the weapon is utilized.

I want you to come up with suggestions on how you could take one of the everyday items you are carrying with you right now, and conceal a convenient and servicable weapon within it.

Setsuna smirked a little; who really needed a sword in their umbrella if they knew Iron Umbrella technique? Which she did.

And then she considered what she was carrying today. Notebook, pen; she tended to travel light. She held up the pen and ruminated on it. "I suppose you could conceil a poisoning agent in the cartridge of a pen," she suggested, "so long as you don't forget that it's in there and try to use it or something like that. Also, notebooks could be good for hiding ninja stars, but you have to be quick in getting them out. Leafing through a notebook for your missiles would probably raise a bit of suspicsion, I imagine."

Anders shrugged and pulled his heavy metal yo-yo from his pocket. "If I could weight this sucker down inside more, I could maybe do some real damage with it. And otherwise it just looks like a toy."

Parker looked thoughtfully at the make-up in her purse, and bypassed the blade-in-the lipstick for the eyeliner and ink pens. "Easy to put stilettos in these, or sharpen the reverse end and concealing it, so it's a weapon."

"I just have chewing gum." She did see that movie on television where that guy, you know, with the chewing gum... and BANG!

It was pretty cool. And Annette might have a fixation on explosives now, for some strange reason.

Hmm - she realized this would require some thought.

Jack was carrying a lot of interesting things, but most of them would draw just as much attention as a weapon if waved about in public. "Pen," he finally said. "Add a blade, maybe even rip the guts out and convert it to a small gun."

Broots glanced through the contents of his pockets. "Um...well, um, you can hide stuff in a laptop case?"

Kabuto held up one of his summon scrolls, then demonstrated activating it, revealing a tool roll thingie (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v192/kiara_jinzan/other/Kabuto_knives.jpg) of medical tools - including several very sharp scalpels. "I've found that here, especially, nobody seems curious about the true contents of a scroll." He grinned. Maybe just a little creepily.

Hikaru looked at his cell phone. By far, it was one of the most consistant things he carried around with him.

"I suppose you could use a cell phone and put something small and sharp in the battery part. It's easy to open and would give you enough time to plan something better."

John placed the sleeve of his leather jacket on the desk. "Weighted sleeves." He took his jacket back off the table, and listed his current weapons. "Belt as a flail with the buckle, or a garrotte if it's a narrower one. Boot-chucks. Knives in the padded straps of my backpack. Pen gun. Hypodermic pen. Explosive gum."
