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!"

"Perry White," Lex said. "I'm an investigative reporter and I don't think it's at all creepy to stalk sixteen year olds to get stories about their fathers." Someone had left an impression.

"Well, that makes one of us," Kenzi said, eyes wide. "How do you justify that particular character trait?"

"The search for the truth of course," Lex replied. "Everyone tells the children they ship off to boarding schools sensitive company information right?"

"Jesus, yes. Right before they give them lunch money for the semester, and after they affectionately tell them to torture the new kids," Kenzi said, looking speculative. "What is truth, anyway?"

"Whatever will sell papers and win me a Pulitzer, of course." Lex did not have a whole heap of warm fuzzies towards the profession.

"Aren't you afraid of being sued for slander? Or do I mean libel?" Kenzi looked speculative. "Ever found out something you didn't print, Mr. White?"

"Libel," Lex replied. "Only if they can prove I knew it wasn't true at the time of printing."

"Which means they gotta read your mind, or you have to be stupid," which this guy clearly was not, "So, are you afraid of the mind-readers here at Fandom?"

"Only if they work for Luthorcorp." Which since Lex had not been summarily hauled home yet by his father, he assumed wasn't true.

"What's a Luthorcorp, and do they do freaky loans and shit, or teach children in other countries?" Kenzi checked. "Mr. White, is there a hit out on you? Should I be keeping 50 meters away in case of bomb blast?"

Just bear with Lex as he underwent a giggle-cough fit. Lionel would be mortified at the idea of doing anything so unsubtle. "Luthorcorp do things." They'd be here all day if he tried to actually list all they things his father was supposedly, and quite possibly actually, responsible for. "Bad things."

"So, should we firebomb them? In an environmentally friendly way?"

Kenzi frowned. "Wait, you're exposing them. That won't work. You need something to work with. Okay! We need suggestions on how Mr. White can take down LutherCorp by the end of this course!"
