So You Want to Be a Detective; Friday, First Period [02/09].

[died8yearsago]

When the class got into the danger shop that morning, they'd find it set up to be a very familiar place. A bar, in fact, where everyone might possibly know your name. No, not that one, but Caritas, because, let's face it, it's a small town, who doesn't know everyone's name here unless you were Rosa and actually actively made sure to forget most people's names?

For example, if it weren't for this class activity that required her to know them, she wouldn't even know what half the people in her class were named. Probably.

Anyway, not only might the bar seem somewhat familiar, but the set-up might be familiar, too. In that there were tables set around and a big timer/gong/buzzer/whatever means that never seemed to clearly defined to signify rounds.

Oh, yeah. This was speed-dating.

"So," Rosa said, smirking at any sign of recognition or realization on her students' face, "sometimes, when you're a detective trying to suss out information, you have to go undercover in situations you might not normally be in, trying to fit in while still digging up what you need to know. And, in the spirit of Valentine's Day coming up next week, we're throwing you into a little scenario of speed dating, where you all are trying to figure out which of your fellow daters," her finger danced almost accusingly around the room at everyone, "is cheating on their partner who has hired you to find out if they are, in fact, cheating. You don't know who this person's partner is, so you have to try and be subtle, because if you make it too obvious, they'll do a run for it. We'll do four rounds, three minutes each, and see what you can get out of them in that time and we'll get back together at the end and start pointing fingers.

"Any questions before we begin, other than 'do I have to?' in which case the answer is, yes, you do."

Suspecting that this isn't at all about trying to practice questioning potential cheaters and just to amuse Rosa is fair and valid.

It's been a while since I've done a class with a lot of stupid OCD, but you all know the drill by now! Four rounds, different pairings, "three minutes" (about 5 pings each) per round before the buzzer goes off and it's time to move on to the next round. See what you can get out of the other person in that time without being to obvious (Rosa doesn't take notes, but she will be judging you!), and hopefully, you'll get something useful.

Or if anything, have a real good time with someone for a hot minute.

So you handwavily or otherwise made it through all four rounds! Congratulations! Let's talk about what you learned, how you learned it, and whether you suck at doing this or if Rosa's actually mildly impressed!

You know, she always kind of wanted to do something like this, and if a class wasn't a good excuse to use your students as Guinea pings, what was?

No, I don't actually expect this to take off, especially with how quiet things have been, BUT...

I did just think it would be kind of funny.
