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."

Man, someone must have cranked the heat up again, because Karla's face was back to being bright red. Not that she was blushing, mind. Her not-blush actually extended pretty far down, going beyond her so-called neckline. "I, uhhh, think I'll be okay by myself," she said hastily. "I'll just stay behind my sight-shield and there shouldn't be a problem. Though if you wanted to stay over there," she waved to the other side of the shield, "and make sure no one wanders by, I'd be appreciative."

"I can do that," Sam said quickly, and not just because it would keep him from looking at her too hard. "I'm a very good guard, really." He moved away until he was outside the shield again, and stayed there, ready to be on the lookout for anyone getting too close.

Karla was changed in record time, silently thanking the Darkness for her old cast-offs. Ratty or not, they, at least, covered her properly. She kind of wished she could just cower behind the sight-shield until class ended, but she was determined not to let Sam know how uncomfortable she'd been in that outfit ~~because it totally wasn't obvious~~. "Uhhh...thanks," she told him, examining her shoes intently. Not that she was avoiding looking at him, she just wanted to do a detailed inventory of their appearance, in case she ever had to describe them minutely.

"You're welcome," Sam said, trying to sound calm in an effort to keep Karla from feeling embarrassed. "If it makes you feel better, I don't think anyone got into the assignment as much as you did."

That at least pulled her gaze away from her shoes. "Thanks," she said. "I was originally thinking of dressing up like a servant, because no one gets better gossip than the household servants." Karla had eavesdropped on enough servant conversations to know this for fact. "But the problem with servants is you won't know how to dress properly without some observation time. Some wear uniforms, some wear the family colors or crests, some just wear regular clothing. Also, you don't want to be dressed too nicely, or not nicely enough. And, there's always the trouble that unless you're in a huge estate, most of the servants are known to one another. Whores, on the other hand, well, they're pretty much the same in any House."

"Here too, in the sorts of places where people do that sort of thing. Or so I've heard," Sam said quickly. "Um. I mean, it's kind of amazing how that's a universal thing."

Karla just shrugged. "Human nature is human nature. And sex is part of human nature."

It was amazing how much easier it was to discuss sex when it was in purely academic terms. Or, at least, had nothing to do with Karla.
