Keeping Your Wits About You... [Monday 2nd Period 10-11] Class # 6 Danger Room!

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Sometime over the hectic weekend the students had been handwavey instructed to come to the Danger Room on Monday. Set up in a sort of 'waiting room' there was a spread of classic English tea sandwiches laid out today along with the usual coffee, tea and water.

Wilson was looking a bit amused as he sat in an overstuffed chair and sipped on his coffee.

As soon as everyone had gathered into the Danger Room, Wilson stood up and walked towards an unassuming little door.

"Good morning."



"I hope everybody had a wonderful Homecoming, it seemed to be a lovely weekend and I know I had a good time saying hello to some old friends."

Crossing his arms and his ankles, he grinned at the class.

"Well, today we have a guest speaker, sort of. Actually he's going to be a guest Adversary for you all. Today's lesson is about how you handle a situation when you know you're going to lose the battle but you need to win the war. Only not with a real war or battle mind you, because that would be mean."

Reaching over for his coffee, he took a sip and then set it back down.

"One by one, you'll go through that door, sit down and engage the Adversary in a game of checkers. Now, were you to win the game of checkers, you would get a rather important bit of information without hassle. However, since that's not the object of the exercise, I'll tell you now that actually winning the game of checkers is about one million to one odds against you. So, how else can you come up with to get the information you will want from this man? Uh and let me say right here and now, I do not suggest or encourage or even condone a violent approach. This is about your wits, not the size of your fists."

Grinning at the class, Wilson reached for a clipboard.

"Okay, you'll go in as I read off your names. Oh! I almost forgot. The bit of information. The Adversary knows the essay question that makes up your Midterm. Yes, your Midterm will be one, very detailed essay question. If you get the question from him, you'll have a leg up on know what you need to study and being able to start early on the particular points you want to put in your essay to help get the best grade possible with the least amount of stress to you. So, good luck."

With that, he began to read off the list of names.

The Challenge

One by one, Wilson sent the students through the door and into the room beyond. It was a fairly spartan area, with two comfortable chairs, a table, a checker board and the Adversary.

[ooc: Despite what Wilson said you don't have to go in the OCD order. Just tag in to your OCD thread as you have time! :D]

Johnny walked in, took a seat, and got comfortable.

A handsome man in a suit appeared to have taken a seat across from him in a brief moment his eyes were not on that position.

"Mr. Storm."

Well, this was going to be interesting. Wyatt wondered if by "adversary" Wilson was being literal and referring to his boyfriend. Or one of them, at least. He stepped through the door to take his seat.

"Mr. Halliwell," Lucifer greeted him, a perfectly polite and pleasant smile on his face.

Isabel took a seat and tried to remember how to play the game.

[ooc: Going AFK for the better part of the afternoon very soon.]

It was not necessay to know how to play, really. Not against him.

"Miss Evans."

[[No problem!]]

Hoshi took her seat and wondered how she was going to the information she needed.

"Miss Sato," The handsome blond man before her said, nodding in greeting.

It had been a while since Chris had played checkers, but he figured he could still handle this.

He went in and took his seat.

Now that she was more alert after a dose of caffeine, Summer felt more confident to play checkers.

Well, this was an interesting assignment, and it kept her from thinking too much about what day this was.

When it was her turn, she walked through the door.

Beauty was a little uncertain about what to expect when Wilson called her name. An adversary who was unbeatable at checkers, but who had information she needed to get by either winning or outwitting? It made her a little uneasy.

Lana sat down, hoping her fuzzy brain would clear enough to let her do this.
