Advanced Sneakiness [Tuesday, July 13, 1st period]

[sith_happened]

Today the Danger Shop was set up as a very sedate garden party, complete with a bar (with a horrifically long line for what would turn out to be entirely alcohol-free drinks), waitstaff passing trays of dubious-looking appetizers and a band playing music designed to make you fall asleep in the shrubbery.

Anakin, who had spent far too much of his time as a Jedi attending such events, had designed this scenario himself, and strode out from the throng of partygoers (if this could really even be considered a party) and waved his hand to turn the chatter and the music off.

"Welcome to your next assignment," he said with a small smile as he glanced around at his students. "I'm a bit disappointed none of you found me last week. Perhaps you shall do better with a different environment." He waved his hand. "Behold, the cocktail party. Be it a dorm party, a homecoming dance, or a diplomatic function, it is guaranteed that there will be at least one person attending with you that you have no wish at all to speak with. Today Anemone, Elena and I will be playing such people. Your mission is to not get trapped into a conversation with us while not looking as if you are avoiding us like we carry something both smelly and catching." He smiled evilly evilly before waving his hand again. "Begin."

Party!

Mingle with other students! Wait in the line for the bar! Bribe one of the waitstaff for their uniforms! Hide in a shrub until class is over!

[OOC: Practically speaking, Anakin and/or one of the TAs will tag you. If you get stuck in a conversation with them, you lose. If they notice you running away in an extremely obvious way, you also lose. Mine is an evil laugh.]

George had found a drink that was mostly empty so he could oops, go find his way to refill it if some people happened by.

Anemone had a secret weapon. His name was Gulliver, and she'd gotten permission to bring him to class today.

So here was Gulliver, wandering about and burbling hopefully at the boy in hopes of getting fed.

Oh, this was going to be easy. Boring parties and avoiding people she didn't like was Leia's life back home.

Gunn was so not part of this scene at all. Not a bit. If anyone got even close to him, he was faking food poisoning and holing up in the bathroom until the end of class.

This Dangershop did have a bathroom programmed right?

Parties like this were Madison's worst nightmare.

She glanced around, wondering if she could somehow procure a camera and pretend to be hired help.

Dru got herself a drink and meandered around the edge of the garden. Every so often she'd stop and check her watch to see the time.

Tim got a drink and found a dark corner of the garden where he could stand and watch people without drawing attention to himself.

This... might be easy enough? Maybe? Kitty grabbed a drink and tried to look very aloof. Standoffish, even. It probably wasn't working very well.

Katniss got herself a drink, but did not partake of it. Instead, she slipped off to the side of the room, hiding in the shadows. She knew this wasn't a permanent solution, but thankfully, she had plenty of experience hiding from Effie when she needed to.

Beka found herself a spot to sit near the house, her back towards the garden to pretend she wasn't interested. The large sliding door however reflected most of what'd be happening behind her.

Bobby was finding that this particular plate of amuse bouche was... less than amusing, honestly.

And considering actually falling asleep in the shrubbery.

James sighed inaudibly.

He looked around at the partygoers, and at his attire, and quickly ducked behind a potted plant feature next to a waitstation to emerge a moment later...


...with a tray of three empty glasses balanced in his left hand and a bored expression on his face, meandering towards the kitchen.

Kyle did not look like he belonged at all. He tried not to make eye contact.

This was so not being sneaky in Parker's book. Also so totally not her scene. She lurked near the shrubbery until a waiter peeled off from the crowd to go refill his tray. Then she followed him, knocked him out when they were out of sight and stole his uniform and tray.

Faith would be proud of her technique, she expected. Once dressed as a waiter, she wandered back out into the party and played her part.

Talk to the TAs [7/13]

[sith_happened]

Before or after class, as during you will want to avoid them.

Re: Talk to the TAs [7/13]

Anemone was totally around before-and-after class as her non-annoying and almost-helpful self, with Gulliver close by her side.

Elena was here. Sad that there wasn't any alcohol in the danger shop drinks. Amusing herself nonetheless.

Talk to Anakin [7/13]

[sith_happened]

Who was totally there last week, Leia.

Re: Talk to Anakin [7/13]

[likes_scoundrels]

Lies, lies!

Still thinking about the dream she'd had that morning, Leia waited until after class to talk to her father. "I dreamed about my mother this morning," she said, skipping straight to the point.

OOC

Thank you to my awesome TAs for putting class up last week!

This class was brilliant! *shakes fist at the RNG*
