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!"

Joolushko hated to be shown up by her classmates. That was the only thing keeping her going in this class. Breaking into an actual art gallery, even with permission, would not have been something she would do otherwise. But she had her pride and it would not stand for these humans to be able to do something she couldn't do.

She was tempted to try and melt one of the locks, but that might backfire and would definitely attract unwanted attention. She'd need to figure out an alternate way to open the door.

The door just looked innocently back at her, as blank as a door can look.

Joolushko glared at the seemingly innocent door. She wasn't a criminal yet, but give canon some time. This was hardly fair. But she could at least try some of that lock-picking, she supposed. After all, it was a fairly simple idea. She just needed to get the insides of the lock to move the right way, right?

Of course, it didn't prove to be that easy at all. In fact, it proved quite difficult for Joolushko.

No alarms might be going off, but really, this was taking a good long while... maybe she'd be better off with a door around back?
