Art of the Heist, Friday, 3rd Period

They were once again back in the apartment this week, but the whiteboard had been replaced with an electronic display, and there were three laptops on the coffee table.

"Target. Plans. Fallbacks for if the plan fails," Oz listed off. "By now you should have a pretty good idea of all these things, especially if you want to succeed, but you all have to be willing to 'kill your darlings'. No matter how attached to an element of a plan, if you can't justify it, then you need to get rid of it." Of course, Oz was able to justify pretty much any single aspect of one of his plans, no matter how seemingly ridiculous, he had mad skills that way.

"So for your midterm you will all take turns displaying the plans you have no doubt been developing to the rest of the class, who will then rip any flaws in them to shreds and hopefully by the end of class you will have melded your separate plans into one epic, unbeatable plan. I'll give you say, ten minutes to get ready."

Riiiiiight, the plan that Cade totally wasn't half-assing right now!

It was full of details that sounded real (because Cade had worked for pirates and had learned that when you half-ass it, you best sound good as pirates will kill you pretty fast otherwise), and held together...mostly. It did require blasting a lot more people and property than was perhaps strictly necessary, but Cade liked making things explode, so there.
