Practical Weaponry [Wednesday, Period Four]

[doubleohblonde]

The class was back in the Danger Shop this week, which was set up to resemble a high-class dinner party. Resplendent in a perfectly tailored dinner jacket, Bond was there to greet them.

"There are some situations that a person cannot go into with a weapon," he said, gesturing around the spacious ballroom. "For example, many diplomatic situations, or high-class casinos, or the like, have weapons detectors, and highly trained security staff. However, that does not necessarily mean that you will go in unarmed.

"Apart from any training you may have in unarmed training, you have your wits, and your clothes. In a situation such as this, your choice of clothing can be If you look like you belong, you will be unlikely to attract much notice. If you're working in a team, having your partner wearing a stunning couture dress can distract your enemies at a vital moment." Or leave you distracted at a vital moment, it could backfire sometimes. Not that Bond was going to mention that. "In a pinch, a stiletto heel can be quite a potent weapon indeed."

Bond gestured to an unassuming door. "There is a wardrobe with suitable clothing and footwear through there, and changing stalls," he said. "You will outfit yourselves in a manner befitting this party, and spent the rest of the class mingling and getting information on various party guests, as well as looking out for any fixtures in the room that could be used as weapons. If you have trouble choosing an outfit, I will be happy to help."

Once the students had entered the wardrobe to choose their outfits, they would have noticed that it was filled with stunning couture dresses in every style, fabric, and colour imaginable. After a few more minutes they would have noticed that there wasn't a single suit in sight.

After all, it was unfair to only expect the girls to wear spike heels.

Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

[doubleohblonde]

Probably with quite a bit of bitching and moaning from the boys in the class.

Who do have to wear dresses and heels. If they try to leave the changing room in anything else they'll be sent back in, and if they argue, Bond will pick something out for them.


[Mwaa haa haa!]

Arthur popped his head out of the dressing room. "Have you lost your mind?" he inquired, sensibly.

Re: Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

[doubleohblonde]

"Not since I last checked," Bond said, his voice full of innocence. "Why do you ask?"

Re: Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

[bitchprince]

"I am not wearing any of this," he shot back, "Have you seen what's in this dressing room?"

Re: Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

[doubleohblonde]

"Why, yes I have, in fact I chose it all myself," Bond replied. "I think something in red will suit your colouring best."

Re: Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

[bitchprince]

"Absolutely not," Arthur informed him.

Hannibal stepped into the changing room and promptly stared. He stared for quite awhile in the hopes that this wouldn't really be happening and that he'd find a nice suit or something in between all the dresses.

Nope.

"Oh fuck me," he muttered and rubbed his face. Maybe the radio squirrels would avoid this class today. "I'd rather just out there naked!"

"You might, but the rest of us don't want to be blinded," Rose called from the girls' side of the changing room.

Re: Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

"Oh ha ha," he said, once he'd recognized the voice. "I look perfectly fine when I'm naked, thank you. You're just jealous."

Re: Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"What do I have to be jealous of?" she asked. "You're the one afraid to put on some clothes."

Rose didn't have a problem at all with the selection of clothes provided. Really, it was just a matter of finding something that was her size instead of way too freaking long like most of the dresses.

Really high heels helped though, and she ended up settling on a dark red gown, cut low in the back but with a halter top. Normally she'd want something lowcut, but the whole 'losing her top while fighting' didn't sound like fun. The slit in the skirt, however, was totally to help mobility. Really.

Tybalt just... stared... at the dresses he was surrounded by. Yes, a good deal of staring.

On the one hand, they were dresses. On the other hand, Bond hadn't actually specified what manner of upscale dinner party this actually was.

And that was why, after a few minutes, he was poking his head out again and asking.

"This is a themed party that thou art subjecting us to, then?"

Please. It was so much kinder to his ego to allow Tybalt to remain in denial.

Re: Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

[doubleohblonde]

"It is," Bond lied without batting an eyelid.

After all, he could always keep Tybalt from getting back into the wardrobe after he realised that it wasn't really.

Re: Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

[feline-royalty.livejournal.com]

Oh, Bond was good.

Tybalt considered for a moment more, and then shrugged, making his way back into the wardrobe to gather himself an outfit, then.

He was a Capulet, and from Verona Beach. Dressing flashy was what they did, there.

Bond might have felt a small flash of guilt, but he was having far too much fun right now to care.

Hinata was... not thrilled by the dresses. It was more of a modesty issue than anything else in this case though.

Some of those dresses were really bad at leaving things to the imagination.

In the end, she settled for a silvery-gray, proper but elegant sort of dress that came down just past her knees. The heels were more of a pain, strappy heels, but she found a pair that weren't too high and decided that was well enough done.

Even while she longed for a proper kimono.

Given both the gorgeous clothes, and the temper tantrum Arthur was throwing, Mr. Bond was going to be Dinah's favorite teacher for, oh, a good long while.

Anemone had been dressed-up and paraded around enough that she knew how to do this, and do it well.

She grabbed a black dress (http://www.unique-vintage.com/sale-style-black-satin-twist-pleat-glamour-gown-p-2035.html) in her size off the rack, and quickly twisting her long pink hair up and out of the way.

Kyle frowned as he looked at the clothes on offer, then returned to Bond. "I can't find anything practical." Maybe he wasn't looking hard enough.

Re: Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

[doubleohblonde]

"Try something with either a loose skirt, or a slit in it," Bond suggested. "They'll be easier to run in if you need to."

Re: Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"Where am I supposed to keep my ammo?"

Re: Get Changed - PW [Week 5]

[doubleohblonde]

Bond considered this a very sensible question. "You could try strapping it to your thigh with a garter."

As if Turtle needed a reason to like Mr. Bond more. She giggled and tried to keep it as discrete as possible as she shifted through the choices to find something truly incredible (http://www.bluefly.com/Tadashi-lagoon-gree-chiffon-side-ruffle-strapless-dress/SEARCH/304021602/detail.fly) (and green!) in her size.

Elle just looked at the clothing and flailed.

"Help?"

Please give Leda a moment to get changed. She's currently paralyzed by laughter.
