Spy Games, Class 3, Monday period 5

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

When the class filed in, they didn't find Sarah waiting for them, but a rather familiar looking priest.

"Hello class," he greeted them. "Your teacher couldn't be here today so she asked me to fill in for her. I'm Father Winchester.

"Our sermon today is on disguises. Yeah, sure you can get a lot of information by the breaking and entering route, but sometimes you're going to have to interact with people. Sometimes you're going to want to blend in, get them to not notice you. Other times you're going to want to get them to trust you, tell you things they might not ordinarily do so. Disguises are an important tool in both situations.

"Say you need to check some medical records -- you're going to have a lot better chance of getting to them without incident if you dress like you belong, some scrubs or a white coat and suddenly youre an orderly or a doctor and no one's looking at you twice or questioning why you're roaming the halls or going into that office.

"Or say someone's died and you think there's something hinky about it. The family's in mourning, they're not going to want to talk to just any Joe Blow about the details." Dean put on his most pious expression. "But a priest paying a courtesy call to pay his respects and offer his condolences, now that's someone they'll feel comfortable talking about the gory details to."

Dean grinned at them. "Every situation is going to be different, but with a little ingenuity you can come up with a disguise to fit. Need to get into a place and have some uninterrupted time there? How about posing as exterminators that are spraying for something that requires an empty house? All you need is to think outside the box."

He gestured to a set of racks full of all sorts of clothing and boxes of accessories. "Over there is a broad selection of things you can use to create a disguise. What I want you to do is to not only put together a disguise but come up with a senario where that particular disguise would be useful. Extra points given for originality."

Listen to the lecture

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

chat, pass notes, goggle at Father Winchester.

Re: Listen to the lecture

[intraspective]

She tapped her fingers idly, not bothering with notes, and reviewed what she thought of disguises.

It wasn't like this was hard, after all.

Re: Listen to the lecture

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir had actually done this sort of thing before, as well as had it covered in a class or two. As such, he started working on something extensive to make sure he stretched his abilities.

Valentine grinned a little to herself as she listened, now realizing that, yes, she had seen Dean before she went flipping through Peyton's sketchbook, and it was here, and the priest outfit was an amusing, interesting choice, especially considering how if you wanted to be inconspicuous where she was from, going religious was so not the way to go.

Gwen paid very close attention to the lecture. She hadn't realised she might have a priest kink before this.

Admittedly this probably said more about the looks of the average Welsh priest than it did about Gwen.

Sam did his best to snicker quietly at Dean's outfit. Out of all the costumes they'd worn to get jobs done, there was something about Dean as a priest that made him crack up every time.

Ellie listened to the lecture and actually did take a few notes. She didn't know much about this sort of thing after all. It seemed like important information.

Passing himself off as someone else was new, but Griff didn't think it could be so hard, just wearing the clothes and playing the part.

Re: Listen to the lecture

Claire was highly amused by Father Winchester though her amusement didn't keep her from taking notes.

Re: Listen to the lecture

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Alice was amused by the good Father's disguise, and wondering what sorts of disguises would be helpful.

Most of her ideas were far too silly to be helpful.

Edmund slipped in a few minutes late.

Emma tuned out about midway through the lecture. If she didn't feel like taking the direct route and just ripping the information she wanted out of someone's brain, she could always just make them think she was someone else. An actual disguise seemed rather silly.

Agnes already knew quite a lot about disguises -- or rather, the lack of them. It seemed that a little old lady in a plain black dress who looked as though she knew what she was doing could get in just about ANYWHERE. She'd no doubt that Nanny Ogg could walk into a monastery where women were FORBIDDEN, and within two days of doing the washing-up, they'd just assume she'd always been there.

But Agnes had a long way to go before she was a little old lady, so she took careful notes.

Karla would have been more amused if she'd known exactly what a priest was. The only priest she'd ever heard of was the High Priest of the Hourglass, and even though she didn't know what this world's priests did, she was willing to bet it differed from that.

Actually, the entire lecture was a bit confusing. Why try to dress up when you could be identified by your psychic scent?

Make up a disguise

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

the fully modable racks of clothing and accessories should allow you to come up with pretty much anything

Re: Make up a disguise

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir found something that looked just right for a Home Guard uniform, then took a sewing kit and took the time to make and repair a hole or two. He sewed over a seam to make the clothes look a little misfit before putting on the whole of it with as much attention to detail as possible.

Re: Make up a disguise

Valentine was very, very serious about the black glasses she had put on, complete with the bushy mustache.

After all, who was she kidding? She had to be one of the plainest, most nondescript people ever born, by way of appearance. The entire world back home knew her name and her work but probably wouldn't be able to pick her out of a crowd if they tried. She was mild and unassuming by default, so to suggest that she wasn't exactly taking the assignment too seriously would be pretty on the mark.

If anyone asked, her scenario was pretty simple, too. Clearly, she was ensuring that no one took her seriously so that they'd be a little looser with their tongues. But, of course, she wasn't revealing her strategy unless she had to.

Ino flipped idly through the disguises, curling her lip in disgust before shrugging and leaving everything as it was.

Her t-shirt and jeans was more than enough to get her many places.

Re: Make up a disguise

[likethegun]

Sam looked through the racks until he found a shirt from the University of Maryland among everything else. He changed into that and left his jeans alone, settled with the simple change.

Answer the question

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Where would your disguise be useful?

Re: Answer the question

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Military camp," he explained.

"If I'd need to know what the soldiers know, I could talk with them or listen to them without being obtrusive. Need to get into files or places I shouldn't be? Claim a lazy superior office, grouse a little, and they'd more than likely let me through.

"Everyone hates their superiors."

Talk to the other TA

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Once she pings in.

Re: Talk to the other TA

Katchoo was there, and in a dress (!!!) and tasteful hairdo that would actually have looked not all that out of place on her if not for the look of sheer disgust on her face.

If you asked her, she'd say this was her part of the lesson, the object lesson on how not to inhabit a role.

Nobody needed to know that she knew how to do it, right?

Confess to Father Winchester

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Or just talk to Dean.

Re: Confess to Father Winchester

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Hinky?" Katchoo drawled idly. "Priests say hinky?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Chance to actually use a Dean dressed as a priest icon? I'm sooo there. :D

[thatsamilkshake]

Whore.

I say that with love, of course.

*goes back to ogling the good father*
