Deception for Fun and Profit, Monday, Period 2

Bond had set set up a class room with the tables dragged out to the walls and the chairs set up in a circle in the empty space. As the students arrived he directed them to take a seat.

"Good morning," he said, once they'd all arrived. "I'm Professor Bond, and this is Deception for Fun and Profit. Now, assuming there were no paperwork errors, you're all in this class because for whatever reason you have an interest in fooling people, which means for our first class we're going to do the traditional introductions a bit differently.

"Normally this is the part were I'd ask you for your names, classes, and various other questions, usually why you're taking the class, or what experience you have related to the subject at hand. No, I'm still going to do that, but you're going to lie, then the rest of the class and I will attempt to catch you out. Though given everyone but me will be lying, I expect you to do it subtly, so as not to open yourself to counter-accusations."

He pointed at a random student. "You first. Name, class, what you did over the summer, and how you ended up in this class."

He was basically genetically predispositioned to be a complete shit to anyone of a higher class than him. It was a thing.

"Britain, yeah. What? Don't I seem the type for it?"

Give Eggsy some time and exposure to gentlemen spies and he'd get better. Ish. Better-ish.

"Can't say I fit in there." They camp that he totally went to.

"And fencing." People fenced, right? "Posh shit."

This camp was going to end up being run by the Queen herself if Eggsy kept this up.

There would be a sled drawn by corgis. Possibly made of the crown jewels. It would be so shiny.

"Nah. Too much chin for'em."

It was a pretty strong jawline, it's true.

"You go to those kind of camps, bruv?"

Eggsy gave him another suspicious look, leaning back in his chair. "That your lie?"

"Yeah?" Eggsy replied, perking up a little. "Me dad was in the service too."

"Royal Marines." Before being recruited to a clandestine organization that only makes sense if you accept that rich people would give up their fortunes for truly altruistic reasons.

Which sounds like a lie, but okay.

Yeah, it was pretty shady sounding. They also decided to go with Arthurian codenames. Which was just asking for trouble.

"Yeah?" Yes, he was a little smug that his dad was one then.

On the plus side, they had some really nice suits.

"Was thinkin' about joining up after school," Eggsy replied.

What, like a life of crime? But the movies made it seem so fun!

Eggsy shrugged. "Get me outta living in the same fucking neighborhood my whole life."

If you couldn't trust movies, who could you trust?

"Sure as hell ain't for queen and country."
