Advanced Sneakiness [Tuesday, July 20]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was not exactly fine with what had happened in the latter part of last week, which was why today's Danger Room looked like the interior of a refugee freighter. Padmé had been weighing heavily on his mind

"One of the most important aspects of infiltration is the ability to blend in and not be noticed," he said as he walked through the crowded space. "And one of the most obvious ways to do that is through the use of clothing." He swept his hands out. "We will start simply. This is a refugee freighter, an inexpensive and slow way to move around my galaxy. Here you would find beings from many species and systems, none of them particularly wealthy."

He pointed to one of the doors. "Behind that doorway you will find a very large supply of clothing, and a computer that links to a database full of the planets in my galaxy. You have fifteen minutes. Put together a costume and a cover story that would explain why you are traveling from Coruscant--the galaxy's capital--to Naboo--a planet famed for its beauty."

Looking like someone else!

Leia Organa

Listen to the lecture [7/20]

[sith_happened]

Such as it is.

Re: Listen to the lecture [7/20]

Huh. Oh. Ooooooh.

Ino fidgeted in her desk as he talked. Because, really: she wanted to get started! Staaarted!

Right. This was certainly the week for clothes for young James.

He was not pouting; it was his Stoic Traveler look.

Leia was only half-way paying attention. Her mind was still on the weekend and meeting her mother and her future son.

Great, crossdressing.

Don't try to make Cloud think differently, he was biased on the subject.

Change and do research [7/20]

[sith_happened]

Ask your fellow students what they think of your cover story/costume! Wonder about the various headdresses/dresses that light up/fake tentacles! Team up, if you'd like!

Re: Change and do research [7/20]

Fifteen minutes was not a very long time at all and Ino was very glad she could read quickly but all the same, one question remained:

With or without a partner?

After fiddling with the box, James learned the name of his new world: a place called Junction (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Feriae_Junction) in the Outer Rim Territories; in James's mind, he pictured a place such as the hills of Yabon or even far Crydee, with their accents.

As for dress? A mish-mash of dark colors: baggy pants, a short-sleeved shirt under a long sleeveless vest. Dark orange sash strung like a sword belt around his waist. Drooping hat that cast his face in shadow yet muffled his ears minimally.

Leia didn't need the database since she was already quite familiar with the worlds listed in it, thank you very much. She chose simple clothes and covered them with a dark blue hooded cloak to obscure her face since it could be recognized.

There were so many choices in the costume room, that Parker let hers be influenced by what caught her eye. The one she ended up picking was because she thought the feathers looked happy.

As for cover story, Parker had the bare bones of one. Beyond that she was just going to act as weird as possible. It tended to get most people to back off and try not to make eye contact with her eventually.

Katniss would never be particularly good at lying, or at costuming herself. But time spent with Cinna at least taught her how to make herself look different, and what features to play up for what.

She chose very simple, though well-fitting clothes, wanting to look as innocent and feminine as possible. She undid her braid, letting her hair fall around her shoulders in loos waves, and selected a shawl that she could wrap over her head and around her shoulders.

There. Soft, sweet, even a bit pretty? No one would recognize her. Well. No one from Fandom.

As a final thought, she bundled an extra bit of fabric up under her dress, buffering her bust as well as her abdomen. It was a thought.

Kitty really, really wanted to play with this stuff when class was over. Especially since this was class and not just playing dress up, she chose totally nondescript clothing, nothing that would stand out or make you look twice at her.

She might have tried on a few headdresses. Just a few.

When Anakin had said "clothing" Jason had been expecting...well, clothes that were a lot more normal looking than this. He wasn't quite sure how useful this stuff would be for blending in, but he wasn't going to question one of his scariest teachers.

The dressing to fit in thing he could do. The cover story was going to take some work. He grabbed some run down looking clothes, the kind that would suit someone who'd been traveling without a lot of money, and put them on. Then he went to find a planet to link to a story.

Tell Anakin your cover story!

[sith_happened]

See if you pass as a refugee!

"I'm on a religious pilgrimage," Leia explained to her father when it was her turn. "I'm visiting the temple of Shiraya in Theed to pray for guidance in a personal matter. I can't afford faster or fancier accommodations for the trip."

Re: Tell Anakin your cover story!

"I'm eloping," Katniss said, her voice soft and her eyes demurely cast down.

Re: Tell Anakin your cover story!

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

"Farmer," he mumbled, looking down.

Unknowingly, Dru came to class in costume.

When it was time to tell her cover story, she looked at Anakin and started to meow a tale of being undercover as a family pet.

Re: Tell Anakin your cover story!

[notavalleygirl.livejournal.com]

"I'm going to visit family," Kitty said, and didn't she look thrilled. All part of her cover, of course.

Talk to the TAs [7/20]

[sith_happened]

They'll be happy to offer their sneaky expertise, no doubt.

Anemone could totally help people come up with completely insane-yet-plausible cover stories if they needed help.

Talk to Anakin [7/20]

[sith_happened]

Who's totally fine. Really. Just ask him.

Re: Talk to Anakin [7/20]

[likes_scoundrels]

Leia was going to do just that after class.

"Are you all right?" she asked. They hadn't had a chance to talk after Padmé had to leave, and she hadn't been much in the mood for talking at that point anyway.

OOC

[sith_happened]

Yay, costumes! Apologies in advance for the timesuck that is Wookieepedia.
