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

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."

"Have I told you I have a spaceship?" River asked suddenly.

"I... Think you might have..." Pippi said thinking. "I'm not sure."

"Want to fly it sometime?" River asked. "I think I should learn how to pilot it properly. Would be a useful skill to know."

"Oh yes, it's been a while since I've flown anything... Much."

Images of Pippi on a small wooden airplane type thing with two other kids, images of Pippi in a hot air balloon with a basked with the same kids, same hot air ballon and kids only now there's a bed attached to the balloon, images of Pippi flapping her arms with the same two kids in a car up in the air and splashing down in a lake... Jumping off the cliff with Pip to escape the creepy shadows.

"That would be fun."

That last one is pushed down pretty quickly.

The images of Pippi and the two children made River smile, the one with the shadow not so much. "I'll be captain of a spaceship and you of a ship on the sea."
