Adventuring Survival Tactics, Period 4 2/9/07

In a bizarre and striking change of pace, the classroom had normal classroom furniture today. "The Doctor asked Dean and myself to cover today's class," Zack said. "According to the syllabus, we're supposed to be doing 'Dressing to Not Get Killed'. My advice is to avoid high heels. Especially if you're a guy and have little experience wearing them.

"In fact," Zack said, "In order to prove how condusive high heels are to getting you killed, I made this."

He held up a shoe. "It's one of a pair of explosive high heels. Wearing it will get you killed, not wearing it may help you survive. Discuss this idea and how it can be taken further."

Dean had turned to stare at him with an expression of disbelief before turning back to the class. "In addition to that ever so helpful advice about not strapping explosives to your feet, you want to be open to the idea of disguises, Sometimes it can help to blend in, to hide, or to bluff your way out of something. Or to get people to tell you things they wouldn't otherwise. So what we want you to do is brainstorm some possible situations where disguising yourself would be a good thing and what kinds of disguise would work the best." He glanced at Zack. "Right?"

"Right," Zack nodded. "That works too."

Dean smriked. "Once you've done that, pick one disguise and see what you can put together for it for next week's class."

"But avoid the heels," Zack said. "I seemed to have misplaced the other exploding one."

Dean stared at him again. "Dude, we so need to have a talk about appropriate use of explosives."

"Nope, just covered in coal dust.

So... Do you need any help?"

Luke shook his head. "I've got it covered," he said. "I ran the plan past the superheroing teacher and everything! She's almost positive I won't die."

"You know what? Go for it. Have fun. Let me know how it went when you get back."

Luke pulled the hood of his robe up over his eyes and tried to look Very Mysterious.

The effect was ruined by the giant smile. "It'll be fine," he said. "I'm sure it'll be a great story. No one gets almost eaten this time."
