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.

But wait for them to get here first.

Marty's here. He's looking a little tired but here.

Nadia? Also here. Also looking tired. Totally not actually asleep at her desk after the demonstration.

Right, like she'd fall asleep in M's class? She's probably just resting her eyes.

*poke*

"Stay awake."

Nadia picked her head up. "Not sleepin'."

"You sure looked like it. What's up with you?"

Nadia shrugged, rubbing her eyes. "No idea. I either can't sleep even though I'm tired, or I randomly get really, really tired and fall asleep without meaning to."

"Seen a doctor yet?" Marty asked quietly.

"Last time I went to a doctor on this island about sleep issues, I would up with gender reassigning pills," Nadia grumbled, still rubbing her eyes. "Think it's a spell. Something to try and block the dreams, so I can't use them to help catch Bel and the demon that's in him."

Marty frowned. "Yeah, Okay you need to go to a doctor or go see Phale. Like now."

"Talked to Phale. He didn't know what it was." He'd also told her to go to the doctor, but she wasn't going to mention that. "I'm fine. I'm dealing with it."

"You know I'm going to be a royal pain in the ass about this. Go see a doctor and you won't have to deal with it."

"Okay, geez, maybe I will. They're not going to be able to do anything about it, though."

"Want me to take you there after class?" Marty asked putting his PITA plan into action.

"I don't need a babysitter, Marty. I said I'll go and I'll go. I promise not to operate any heavy machinery before I find out what's going on."

"All right. Just checking."

Nadia nodded, smiling slightly. "I know. You get all gruff when you're worried. It's sweet. But I'm a big girl."
