Art Appreciation and Protection (Week 7, Period 2, 8/17)

[magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com]

A *handwavey* e-mail had gone out after last week's class, to inform them that the last one was meeting at the York Gallery in town. Standing outside, Sophie gestured behind her.

"You've all been a wonderful class; I hope you learned something about art history and appreciation that you didn't know previously. As well as the protection measures. I won't be teaching next semester, instead I've moved into the business sector." She cocked her head, and said, "This is my new gallery. Today, you're going to be a great help to me by testing my security measures as they are now. Hidden inside it are various small tokens, like this one." Sophie held up a small gold poker chip on a chain. "I'll be your fence for the day." She grinned. "Go in there, and retrieve as many as possible without setting off my alarm system or causing major property destruction, and you can exchange them for fabulous prizes. Just like a real heist."

She shoo'd them. "I'll be on the corner sipping coffee over there, awaiting the sounds of alarms. Good luck!"

[OCD on the way!]

Knowing the gallery as well as she did, Shilo decided to check the room first for anything unusual or out of place.

Shilo would doubtless notice both the big Chinese vase full of freesia, and the series of Italian water colors... which were on the floor, looking like they were being taken down for cleaning. Right?

Hm. Shi began pulling freesias out of the vase- carefully- to check for any tokens.

Down at the bottom, tangled with a wire that went to the alarms, was a token on a thread. Shiiiiny.

Wire? Shilo grinned and went for the supply closet. Wire cutters, check. She started reaching into the vase as carefully as possible to try and cut the token free.

"Had to pick the hard one first, didn't you Shi?" she grumbled.
