Don't Be a Hero [Thursday, 2nd Period]

Cara's class were in the Danger Shop again, which resembled a dorm room, albeit an extremely large one.

"Most of you are showing tolerable progress," she said. "Which means it's time to talk about how complacency will get you just as dead as stupid. It sneaks up on you, you get into a routine, you stop paying attention, you ignore the warnings about recent land shark attacks, and before you know it-"

A knock sounded at the dorm room door. "Can someone get that?"

"What is a 'Candygram'?" Hyacinthe asked, suspicious.

Sorry, land-shark! Hyacinthe was too fantasy!medieval to be fooled by you!

Beat.

"Flower delivery?"

"Seems unlikely," Hycinthe called back. "Pick a lie and stick with it. The bigger the lie, the more likely it is to be believed, simply because it's too absurd to be the truth. Now try again and really sell it."

Hya, no. This was not the point of the exercise.
wrongkindofsith: (Oh no. We're all about to die horribly.)

Cara'd been rooting for you Hya, they'd all been rooting for you.

"Candygram with flowers," the gruff, trustworthy voice replied.

Hey, he still hadn't opened the door. In fact, he was lounging on the bed, poking through the simulated books on the desk.

"Who are the flowers from?" he called. "It's all in the details!"

He was still giving the land shark tips.

"They're from..." There was a bout of piscine coughing.

Who was he not to help the land shark live his best life?

"...Did you just cough all over my candy?"

Considering the land shark's best life involved nomming on Hya's head...

"Of course not." Beat. "Would you like to check?"

Right, but at this moment, the land shark was so appallingly bad at it that even the attempt was damn near insulting.

"I'm not even sure it's my candy. Who is it for?"

"And my name is...?"

See? Insultingly bad.

Usually people opened the door by now!

"Mr..." More coughing.

"Oh, this isn't his room," Hyacinthe said, sounding apologetic. "He's on the next floor. Try there."
