Tricks, Cons and Bamboozles | Tuesday | Period 4

Today, the Tricks, Cons and Bamboozles students had been handwavily told to meet in the Danger Shop, which was set up to mimic an enormous museum, complete with (simulated) guards stationed at the exits and patrons milling about, not to mention the (imitation) priceless art hanging on the walls.

"Welcome to your final exam," Neal said as the students made their way into the room. And was it a trick of the light, or did he look distinctly more excited about today's class than usual? 

"This is the Antwerp Royal Museum of Fine Arts. But we're not here to sightsee." Obviously, Neal, because it was a final exam. Though it wasn't too hard to figure out what he was going to be doing while the students were working, was it? "You'll be working in three teams. I'll number you off, and the team to successfully complete the assignment will receive the highest grade." 

Quick, everyone hurry to stand two people away from Kenzi. Or not.

"Somewhere in this museum," he continued, "there's a Fouquet painting called 'Virgin and Child.' It's very expensive and has a lot of security, and it spent the morning being cleaned, so it's not currently on display. Your job, as a team, is to figure out where it's being kept, get past security and the various alarm systems, and retrieve it and bring it to the south exit by the end of the class period without being spotted or leaving any prints."

It was a good thing this class period was as long as it was, because he had a feeling it could take a while.

After numbering off the students, he held out a bag of supplies, explaining, "Each team will receive one pair of gloves and a map of the museum. Any questions?" 

He grinned. "Go."

A painting. Well, how difficult could it be?

"Ideas as to how to proceed?"

[off to work, tiny phone internets will be spotty. Handwave the squire's thievery!]

Plans. Who needs 'em?

This would be Kenzi setting off a fire alarm, and rushing over to the painting.

"I don't do this sort of thing with other people," Richie said. "Somebody probably ought to be a distraction though. And someone should try just asking where the thing is." He pitched his voice higher and continued "I was supposed to look at Virgin and Child for my art history course and it's not hanging. Do you know why?"

This was going to be interesting.

Surreal stalked over to Neil, tail lashing before sitting down and looking up at him with gold-green eyes. Time to see if the teacher would equate the missing student with the cat.

Surreal sighed, as only a cat can, and started trying to scratch her name on the floor.

S - U - R ....R was hard with paws.

"Duuuuuude."

Coffee. And Kenzi was bummed. "There should always be a Tricks class! Always and forever!"

"YES!"

What, you think she'd skip it just because she took it before? "Guaranteed A!... well, not that you'd go easy on me or anything." Big Happy Eyes! "You wouldn't stop me, right?"
