Want to be a Hero?, Friday, 4th Period

Cara had not set the Danger Shop up to resemble the preserve again today, huzzah!

Upon entering students might have noticed the large room, with its walls of sandstone and comfortable looking sofas scattered around, they might have noticed the bar with its wooden kegs and metal flasks, they might have noticed the tasteful silk hangings bordering doors and... artistic murals. But what they probably noticed was the number of highly attractive women (and men) wearing clothes that ranged from low-cut to scandalous to barely existent to requiring impressive feats of engineering not to fall off in a stiff breeze.

"Now it may happen that in the course of your heroing you'll need to conduct a manhunt," Cara said, looking suspiciously like the cat that'd gotten the canary in cream. "When your quarry is male, almost invariably your first and last stop on this chase will be the nearest brothel." Just in case there were any doubts about where exactly class was taking place today.

"Even on the exceedingly off chance you don't find your man," Cara's tone made it clear how likely she thought that wasn't. "Places like these are invaluable sources of local gossip and information because an astounding number of people loose all sense of discretion the moment sex is on the table."

"Today you have to charm the whereabouts of a miscreant you're chasing out of one of these lovely persons of negotiable virtue." Cara told them. "And I mean charm, anyone making trouble is liable to be tossed out on their ear. If they're lucky."

So, if anyone needed Evan, he was going to spend a lot of this lecture just standing there with his mouth hanging open in shock. That's it, that's all. Just... stunned into silence.

THEY HAD TO DO WHAT WHAT WAS THIS WHY WAS THIS HIS LIFE HELP

Okay. Okay, Evan could do this. He just had to talk to someone! That was easy! Talking! With his mouth! Which made words!

Easy.

And if he kept repeating that in his mind enough, eventually maybe he'd believe it!

"Um... um... excuse me?"

It'll have to be SP here due to work, too, but Evan would love a lovely half-dressed lady to talk to about the location of his target!

It was entirely possible that Evan wasn't actually going to survive this experience.

"I. Um. Um... I was looking for somebody, and I thought maybe you'd be able to help me with that," he managed, his pale cheeks taking on a flush of red that stood out as plain as day. "If you had some time..."

One of the very few problems with being equally susceptible to men and to women, as Anders was, was that the brothel offered twice as many opportunities for distraction for him as were available for his classmates who were firmer in their leanings.

He kept his eyes firmly above the neck as he smiled at one of the ... employees. "You look like someone who knows what's going on around here. Could I talk to you for a minute?"

Anders would love an NPC, and SP is fine!

The last time anyone had ever actually reached over to ruffle his hair, Evan had been talking to his Uncle Cluster.

This woman was very much not Uncle Cluster. Evan blinked, and cleared his throat, and tried not to fidget too much. Okay. He could do this.

"You would? Thank you! I... guess you see a lot of stuff around here and talk to all sorts of people, huh?"

Will didn't think of himself as a charming person. Not at all. So, when he wandered up to one of the girls and smiled, he pretty much knew he wasn't going to be successful on the first attempt.

She, however, did smile back so that was good! Right? Of course, as soon as he started talking, he leaned closer to her and knocked over a water that spilled onto her. And then she shoved his shoulder and walked off.

So, strike one!

Yeah, no, Scott was right there with you, Evan. Occasionally making a distressed sort of squeaking noise at the thought of actually working up the courage to ask anyone here anything.

"I wish," Anders said, forgetting what he was supposed to be doing for a long moment. "But I've got a bit of business to take care of before I can have any fun. Have you seen --"

He rattled off a brief description of the person Cara had told them to look for.
