Potpourri - Monday - July, 23, 2007

When the students came out to the main campfire on Tuesday morning they would notice that Buster wasn't anywhere to be found. Or so they thought. Only those with a keen eye would notice Buster hiding behind a tree. When everyone had arrived he crept up quietly to the class. Even then he might not be noticed. No, the students might not notice that their teacher was there until he coughed and said "Heeeey students."

"Today we'll be learning how to be neither seen or heard. I'm an expert at this due to me spending many years at the Milford Academy. It's a useful skill. You can avoid anybody you don't want to see or you can use it to pick up information. The latter may backfire because you might find out things you didn't ever, ever want to know. Horrible things about your mother." Buster shivered. "Ugh."

"Now, the most important thing about being neither seen or heard is the way you dress. Anybody can dress up in all black and put on goofy makeup to keep yourself from being seen but won't you feel stupid if you're caught? But if you dress up in floral prints and wear a lot of pastels people won't think you're worth their time and not notice you there. Or they're think you are "special" and won't mind spilling their secrets around you." he said. "Hiding in plain sight, that's what being neither seen or heard is all about."

"Also, no talking. I cannot stress how important this is. Some people just can't shut their traps and that makes other people untrusting of them." he said. "When you must talk be polite and keep sentences short. I have gone days without talking and nobody in my family noticed."

"So today we're going to do two activities that will prepare you for being neither seen or heard. The no talking game and hide and seek!" said Buster. "I know you know them well."

"And for homework I want you to hide in plain sight sometime this week. Dress inconspicuously. See what kind of information you can find out from people." he said. "Or maybe someone will care enough to try to find out where you are. But that's rare. The only time someone wanted to find me was to help them zip up their dress."

[It's up!]

Johnny just stared at Buster. Really, he had nothing to say.

Johnny could play this game. Johnny could play this game very well.

Johnny was it! And he was counting to ten.

"One...two...three...four...five....six..." and so on and so forth...

Chad looked down, holding out his very bright, very floral button down shirt, the very staple of his wardrobe.

...Awesome. He already won.

Yeah. Like Chad was going to lose at a game call No Talking....

See....he was doing well up until this point. Hide and seek....just wasn't fair for a man of Chad's size! But he was going to do his best, hiding behind a cabin.

Jeff grinned at Chad and gave him a thumbs-up. Brothers in floral prints.

The Not Talking would've probably been easier if Jeff hadn't been asked to do it. Now he was standing there grinning overbrightly and thrumming with stuff to say.

Well, stuff.

Chad cocked up his chin and returned the thumbs-up. Ghastly prints that no one else in their right mind would wear, represent.

Lucas sat there with his arms folded.

Lucas crawled under a bush and stayed as low to the ground as he could.

Jeff hid.

It was better not to know the details.

Considering she grew up with monks and she was a bandit's daughter?

Yeah, so not hard.
