Creative Problem Solving, Tuesday, period 3

The Danger Shop today was programmed to look like the courtyard in front of a large, swanky mansion, with four sets of elegant French doors closed on what looked like quite the elegant gala going on inside. Eliot stood with his arms crossed next to a fountain in the middle of the courtyard, nodding to the students as they came in.

Parker was wearing a cocktail dress. That was her only apparent concession to the venue; her hair wasn’t done, she wasn’t wearing jewelry. Or make-up. Or shoes.

“Today instead of busting out? You’re busting in. Although, you know, if you want to be subtle, you can do that too.”

"Behind us is the party of the year. Full of rich, influential people, good music, and some of the finest damn fondue you're gonna get outside of southern Europe." If Eliot did say so himself. "To get in, you gotta get past one of these four people." He hit a button and a simulated doorman appeared in front of each of the french doors. Two looked just like him, only in different outfits. Two looked just like Parker.

"How you do that is up to you. You could dress up and try to look all fancy and talk your way in. You could dress down an' tell 'em you're staff and talk your way in. You could distract 'em and sneak your way in. You could try fighting 'em." He smiled. "That's usually my favorite, but not usually for gettin' in."

Parker rolled her eyes at that. “Anyway, there are security guys around. I won’t say how many. So if you do decide to start a fight, it probably won’t finish up one-on-one. Have an exit plan!” She shook a finger at them. “Remember! Only people who can’t run go to jail for assault with a deadly weapon!”

Eliot frowned. "That is not a saying." Just so the kids understood that. "Parker just made that up."

Which wasn't saying it wasn't true.

"Right away ma'am!" Kathy said, fetching some sparkling water immediately. She brought the whole damn bottle over along with a single cup, and then led...darn it, Kathy still didn't know her name!...over to a quiet corner in the shadows. "I can only imagine how trying this must have been for you," she sympathized, pouring a glass of water and then setting the bottle down next to her for refills. "You just relax and get your feng shui back and realign your chakras and maybe practice a little Reiki for your nerves, and I'll go and take care of everything."

Finally, someone who understood her. She gave a huge sigh, took the cup and closed her eyes. Small sips. Tiny sips! ... and a wave of her fingers, because you can go now, Kathy. That was very adequate.

KATHY WOULD TAKE IT!

With a few more hastily babbled nothings, Kathy got while the getting was good. She wasn't sure what she was supposed to be doing in here, but she was in and that was good enough for her!

...Maybe she'd duck back out and try her other plan. Because it never hurt to have more than one method practiced!

And after she saw how laughable her attempt at flirting her way inside was, she could try to sneak around in a tiny skirt and see if that actually fared any better. WOO! PLANS!
