Tricks, Cons, & Bamboozles | Wednesday (8/31) | Period 1

There was a Perky Goth sitting cross-legged on the desk, eating a black licorice whip and watching people come in. There was also a fluffy gray Russian Blue sitting next to her, wearing a jaunty fedora. Somehow. If you looked closely, you'd notice that he was also wearing a tracking anklet.

"So," Kenzi said, when it seemed like most everyone was there. "I'm already sick of introductions, and it's only Wednesday. The last time this class was taught, the teacher didn't make us do them then, either." She reached out to scratch behind Mr. Caffrey's ears.

"So I'm going to take a page from his book, and say: lie like a rug. Like a rug squished flat under a 200-metric-tonne weight. Convince us you're someone you are completely not. And we'll try to trip you up by asking questions."

"OR. You can tell us how you'd pull off the greatest con or theft in history, using just yourself, a cat, and possibly a rubberband."

"Go!"

Hey, if he wanted to bring his own hot con-artist type, Kenzi wouldn't stop him.

"YES. OKAY. Good start!" Kenzi beamed at him. "How unethical? Can you actually hack, or do we need to outsource this? And how poor are we talking, and that's after our commission, yes?"

"Um. Very unethical. Like... they eat kittens," Jack said stumbling around verbally. He gave the teacher/cat a look. "No offense intended."

"And we outsource it to criminal hackers in Botswana to save on the costs. Plus no commission. Just bragging rights."

Technically Zane did that kind of thing. Just without the Botswana part.

That cat looked impassively back. Although one ear may have twitched.

"No commission?" Kenzi looked very disappointed. "Just the advertisement value? Jack, I like how you think, but I wonder about your commitment here."

Even if he already said he was on the side of Law & Order: SUV, Kenzi could hope he'd have a change of heart.
