Tricks, Cons and Bamboozles | Wednesday | Period 1
Class today had been handwavily scheduled to meet in the Danger Shop, which was set up to look like a Thanksgiving dinner table. There was a place for each of the students, some (sadly) holographic food, and a small envelope at each place setting with a student's name.
"Hey, guys," Neal said from off in the corner, where he was enjoying some non-holographic food. Sorry. "So. Show of hands, who's ever heard of a mystery dinner theater?" Too bad he was too busy focusing on his coffee to count the hands. "So what it basically is is a dinner where you show up and you get assigned roles, which you then take on for the rest of the meal. It's sort of tacky."
Thank you for that, Neal.
"Anyway. The backstory is that someone in the group is responsible for stealing a priceless painting that belonged to someone else, who's also at this table." No murder. He had to draw the line somewhere, you guys. "Using the cards assigned to you, you will each take on a role that was randomly assigned to you. Someone here is the thief, someone's the victim, and so on. How much you disclose is up to you, but your goal by the end of class is to appear innocent to everyone else if you're guilty, and figure out who the perpetrator is, while keeping whatever secrets your character has, if you're not."
A beat.
"And stay in character, guys? That just makes it fun."
Tacky, Neal? Riiiiight.

Even as someone else, Kenzi couldn't help lying.
