Cons & Confidence Men: How Not to Get Taken, Class 7

[magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com]

"Welcome to our last class, everyone." Sophie smiled around a Danger-Shop-created museum display, housing what had to be the most stupidly huge emerald ever found on the face of the planet. "You've all done quite well learning about different kinds of con games; therefore you have your choice today." She gestured to the emerald. "You can either be on the security team trying to keep this emerald safe as a final trial for its disposition is held; or you can attempt to, ahem. Appropriate it, and give it to whom you believe the proper owner to be. You may use theft, technological, or confidence tricks in order to make this work."

"At your leisure, ladies and gentlemen."

[ocd on its way! Time to steal yourself an emerald!]
