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."

Detention, Saturday, February 24

As the students entered the Danger Shop, they noticed that they were on a rooftop with The Tick standing at the edge of the roof overlooking the cityscape. He held a clipboard in one hand.

When everyone had shown up, he turned around and smiled. "Good morning, detentioned students! I am The Tick and I shall be your detention instructor today! Today I'll be showing you the ins and outs of Wrong. You see this city? It's based on The City, my Home Away From Fandom! The City is known for many things. Good diners. Science that is both mad and beneficial. And the never-ending struggle between good and evil, all dressed up in tights! Since you're here, it's assumed that you may be branching out to the evil side of that struggle, so I'm going to show you first-hand that crime doesn't pay!"

"You'll be undergoing a series of simulations as the villain. When you try to do your dastardly deeds, a random hero of The City will come out to thwart you! Don't take these thwartings personally, though. It's our job. The superhero is the Telemarketer of Justice and villains are sitting at home, not expecting to be bothered, but bothered they are because their home is a robot that's destroying a bank and then a call comes asking if you'd like to order some law! And the villain says no, but after some stuggle he's convinced to do so! The only difference here is that instead of better rates on their phone bill or weekdays AND Sundays for newspaper delivery, they just purchased a stay in prison."

"There are some costumes in a box there if you really want to get into the whole theme, but they're optional and completely school appropriate."

[OOC: Sorry for getting it up a little later than intended. Writer's block followed by icon making = slight delay. I'll be around all day. Playing 17 NPCs. *sighs at self*

Information on the heroes can be found here and a videoclip with some of them is here!

For the record, I know there are people who will be signing in late in the day. I am totally cool with that. I never want to stop playing this detention until my brain explodes, so I'm good to play it out however long it takes. :D]

Gun Club, noon

Parker put up the sign with the rules.

SAFETY RULES:

· TREAT ALL GUNS AS IF THEY WERE LOADED

· KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL READY TO FIRE

· BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT’S BEYOND

· ALWAYS WEAR HEARING AND EYE PROTECTION

· NEVER USE ALCOHOL OR DRUGS BEFORE OR WHILE SHOOTING.

· CHECK IN ALL WEAPONS BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE RANGE.

"This is a pretty informal club; we're basically here to answer your questions, help those who are new to weapons, and allow a free trade of information about guns." Parker looked around at those present. "That said, if you have suggestions for anything else for the Club this semester, please feel free to talk to me. We usually have at least one Lazer Tag weekend, and I'm hoping to get some help with moving targets this semester.

"New people? Come see me to get ear and eye protection, and be given the safety lecture, especially if you don't have any previous experience."
