The History of Assassination. Wednesday, First Period [10/25]

Students would arrive to find Ghanima regarding them skeptically, Trebor balanced on her hip as he attempted to eat her hair.

"Capitalism is destroying your city, and you are showing up to class," she said dryly. "What part of 'assassination is a tool to bring down unjust systems' have you all not yet absorbed from my lessons?"

Her suite at the Arms was now a Motel 6. This was unacceptable.

"I hope you wore walking shoes, because Trebor and I are going into town, to find and evaluate potential targets. If you want to stay here and continue your mental vacation from last week, I did bring a movie you can stay and watch, but I will be disappointed in you."

Ghanima marched over to the DVD player and hit 'play' before heading to the door, deftly removing her hair from Trebor's mouth and instead offering him a... wooden toy shaped like a knife.

"Chew on that instead, dearest," she said absently. "Come along then, those of you who'd like to be productive. If we can't find a shadowy cabal behind all this we can string-up, perhaps we can find a formerly-abandoned warehouse turned McDonalds that you can burn down in a collaboration with Professor Beaker."

Listen, Arden would one day be an urban fantasy protagonist, but right now she was just a girl who'd had 'keep your head down or you will die, this is not a joke or exaggeration' drilled into her since she'd been a child. So the idea of running towards danger seemed like some real white people nonsense a terrible idea.

But.

Arden was also a people pleasure and she really respected Ms. Ghanima and this didn't seem like it was actually dangerous or anything yet. Which made this more an investigation than anything else. And that was right up her alley.

"Had anyone seen where these things come from?" she asked. "Do they have shifts? Power down? Is there any way we can follow them back to where they came from." She looked thoughtful. "Also, they don't seem super bright. I bet it'd be really easy to trap them if we wanted to."
