Sneaky Spycraft - Week 1, Period 4

Aly was in the classroom early so she got to study each student as he or she came in.  She smiled and gave a word of greeting to those she'd known in the past and a nod to the new students, watching all of them curiously.

Once everyone arrived, she stood up finally with a quick grin.  "Morning to all of you," she said, surveying the classroom.  "I'm Aly, and this is Spycraft...blah, blah, blah.  Don't ask me where the class name came from.  I think Hades got a hold of my submittal form."  He hadn't.  "If you didn't sign up for this class, cooking is later.  Go talk to Lulu, maybe she'll let you in."

Aly leaned against the desk and looked amused.  "Or you can stay and we'll talk about how to be sneaky all semester.  We're going to cover a lot of topics: poisons, codes, weapons, actual spycraft, and we're going to move pretty quickly most of the time so if there's anything you specifically are curious about?  Let me know.  If you're confused or ethically uncomfortable?  Bring it up.  I want to see all of you thinking about this stuff.  Not just mimicking the lessons."

"If you didn't catch it before, my name's Aly.  Alianne if you need to be formal.  Professor or duani if you really think that's necessary.  Call me Miss Aly though, and I won't listen."  She shuddered.  "It just sounds bad."

"Today, we're going to do that bane of first classes and do introductions.  Why?  I like listening to you guys talk more than I like lecturing.  So.  Please tell me who you are - even if I already know - why you wanted to take this class and what you hope to learn, annnd ask me one question."  Aly flashed them a quick grin.  "Yes, I'll answer it, and yes, the question's a test if anyone's wondering."

She glanced down at her attendance sheet and picked two names as if at random.  "Zuko and Teddy, can you two see me after class?"

"I'm Jenny Sparks, I think my legal guardian signed me up for this class, probably because he thinks he's funny, but if I can just get one piece of useful information I didn't know before out of it, I need all the help I can get in my profession. Which is. Er. Superheroics. God, that sounds stupid. I guess my question is, what makes you qualified to teach us this? And I actually have a second, logistical qustion: May I smoke in this class?"

"My name is Ami Mizuno. And i am taking this class because... well, somewhat recently i discovered that i may have need of being sneaky and spying. Since what i am mainly good at is studying, i am hoping this class will help me with some practical applications." She paused to think of a good question. "Under what circumstances do you believe spying on others and therefore invading their privacy is appropriate or even desired slash necessary?"

"I'm Yamanaka Ino, and I signed up because this class sounded both really fun and useful uh, well, ninja can always use more sneaky right? I want come out of this class with more knowledge than I came in with." Ino thought about what to ask for a moment, "Aly-san? How can we trust that you won't purposefully mislead us?"

"My name is Triela. I'm pretty sure Hillshire signed me up for this class because he thinks I rely too much on the fact that I look harmless for infiltration missions." Her tone suggested that she thought he was probably right.

"Why do you do what you do? What motivates you?"

"My name is Willow Rosenberg," Willow said. "I'm here because spying is all kinds of fun with codes and sneakiness, yet is also very useful in the sense that sometimes you need to get information without, as for example, being killed. Which all goes under the bigger goal of trying to defeat bad guys or girls or bad people of indeterminate gender. Plus secret hand gestures are always cool.

"As for my question: how does one get an A++ in this class?"

This particular cool kid was just.paying attention to the instructor.

And if a certain TA was there some glares were probably shot in his direction.

"Ohaiyo!" She wiggled her fingers at the class in a half-wave, grinning. "I'm Dōjima Yurika, you call me Dōjima 'cause I won't answer to Yurika. I'm here because if my parents are going to ship me to America to go to school with heathens just because of a few pictures, I'm going to take at least one class guaranteed to piss them off."

"My question is this; sensei, think of one time a mission went absolutely totally balls-up wrong. Why did it happen?" Dōjima leaned back in her seat, still grinning. "I mean, I'm guessing that if you're teaching spying you've been spying, but if not I can come up with a different question."

"I used to grab professionally so I thought taking a class on being sneaky would be a rocketship way to get a good grade. My question is how many classes can I skip and still get a passing grade?"

"I'm Sokka, and I'm here because you're awesome, I want to learn how to be sneaky, and I like blowing things up."

He thought for a moment.

"My question is... Are you sneaky-on-the-side-of-good, or do I have to get my cognitive dissonance on like I do for Sifu Deadpool?"

This particular cook kid was also paying attention to the instructor and shooting glares at a particular TA.

And giving nods of solidarity to that other cool kid there.
