Novice's Guide to Villains and Villainy - Week 7, Period 3 (Danger Shop)

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was an empty, windowless room when everyone came in. There were no chairs. In fact, there was nothing here at all except cream coloured walls, the students and Thursday and her cup of coffee.

"Welcome," Thursday said when the door to the Danger Shop closed. "How well do you know your classmates?" She gave them a moment to look around at the group assembled before continuing. "There is a traitor among us. Traitors, at least the ones that do their job well, are rarely suspected. They have an ulterior motive and work against the best interests of the group, but keep their motivations and actions concealed.

What's important to remember when dealing with a traitor in your midst is that you don't know who you can trust. All you can do is find out as much information as you can and decide who to trust. Sometimes that trust is based on fact. Sometimes it's based on pure instinct and requires a leap of faith.

Today's task is simple. Talk to as many people in this room as you can. Ask each other questions. Learn from their answers and from what they don't tell you. Learn to trust your own skills in deduction and in your intuition. If you can train it well, it will rarely fail you.

When you're done, come and tell me who you think the traitor is and why."

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"I can't really complain." She grinned. "I'm excited for spring break, probably going to head home." Tori admitted.

"Last year we went to England, I don't think we're quite so organized this year."

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Oh, wow. That must have been fun." Tori wondered what it would be like to visit England.

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"It certainly was exciting."

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"I'm slightly jealous." Tori grinned.

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well, maybe we can figure something else out."

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps." Tori smirked.

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"So... Are you the traitor?"

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori laughed and shook her head. "Not me. Are you?"

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Nope!"

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori grinned. "Well, we can rule one another out. I wonder who it could be."

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"...I don't remember if there's a TA for this class. But if there is, it could be them?"

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"There are two TAs." Tori remarked. "Seely and Z. You could be right. It might be one of them."

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"It's Seely." Pippi decided.

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori chuckled and nodded. "That's quite possible."

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded.

"It's the logical choice."

Re: Task: Talk, Learn, Discover

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"I guess so." Tori smiled.
