Steath and Deception #4, Wednesday Morning, Dangershop

The students had received a handwaved e-mail to come to the Dangershop in the morning as opposed to Cafe Fina.

When the students arrived, they found themselves in the most varied landscape they had ever seen. Three kinds of forests, two kinds of swamps, a desert, two plains, a snowfield, and an urban environment.

A noticeably clean and shiny urban environment. Complete with a newspaper vending machine with a headline that read "Superman saves Metropolis from Giant Spinning Top!"


Then the students heard some cursing from the side. "How does Barbra deal with these things... wait, here we go."

The clean urban environment shimmered and was replaced by a dark, dilapidated cityscape. The newspaper headline was replaced with "Who is the Batman?"

A man stood up from the console and ran a hand through his hair. "Hi kids. I'm James Gordon, commissioner of the GCPD. I was also in the Special Forces when I was younger, so Alfred asked me to come talk to you guys about cameoflage."

He shrugged off his coat and walked over to the center of the danger room, where a table with a selection of military camouflage options in various sizes was sitting.

"The important thing to remember about camouflage," Gordon said, pushing up his glasses, "is that despite what television may tell you, there is nothing to make you disappear completely. Not even the Batman," he continued, nodding towards the newspaper vending machine, "can pull that off. All it can do is conceal you, force someone to actually look harder to find you. Ideally, you want to be harder to find than they are willing to put into looking."

Gordon looked down into his notes, pushed up his glasses again, and launched into a lecture on millitary camouflage.

"Alright then," he said. "I've got a bunch of environments up to practice on and a selection of uniforms here. Try to match the right camo to the right environment and see if you can find the best place to hide to make maximum use of the camouflage. I should have sizes for everyone here, but if you can't find something in your size, just tell me and I'll see what I can do."

He pulled out a small jar. "I also have camoflage face paint. See if you can figure out how to best use it in conjunction with your camouflage."

[[Wait for le OCD! Have fun kids! Don't break Gordon!]]

Someone already called all of Phoebe's professors. ;)

Lana tried her best, but was really pretty useless with this sort of thing.

Having handwavily at this point experimented with camoflage, Seras decided to come up and talk to the Commissioner for a bit.

She was still decked out in camoflage fatigues and had her face painted. But, surely the Mr. Gordon would not be startled, having been in the special forces and everything

Camoflague. Perfect. Because disappears was precisely what Sakurazaki wanted to do this morning.

Just a dream, just a dream, just a really fucked up dream...

Maybe Jude would be absent today. Pity Alfred wasn't conducting class today, because he might have let her off to go do more training if he understood about her mission this weekend...

Ugh.

The only camoflague Sakurazaki ever used was the cover of shadow, so she wasn't exactly experienced in things like this, but it's a pretty simple task, and she sets to it rather rigeriously and straight-faced. She'd thrown herself back into heavy training mode first thing when she woke up this morning.

Walter couldn't leave, so instead he pulled a set of urban camouflage BDUs on over his butler camouflage uniform and looked dubiously at the make-up.

Should have guessed. Nadia started sliding again. New plan: escape class, go find Phoebe.

"Victoria...Seras Victoria."

Oh brilliant. Introduce yourself in the most cliched manner possible.

Seras cleared her throat.

"I...I'm studying to be a police officer, sir," she said, "Or at least I will once I graduate Fandom. It's not often that I get the chance to speak with someone so experienced. Might I ask you a question or two?"

Pippi listens to the nice man with the funny mustache and takes notes.

"I'm pretty sure it washes off," said Seras, a bit amused at Walter's expression.

She'd suited up already and had dipped her thumb experimentally into a pot of greenish face paint.

Walter stuck his tongue out at her and smirked a little. "I'm certain it does. I'm not afraid of a little paint, remember World Cup?"

He just didn't really see much point in it for himself.

"You think so?" Walter rummaged around the paints and makeup and held up a tube of lipstick. "How about bright red?"

Even if he was already planning a tasteful melange of blacks and greys.

Sawyer tosses a piece of balled up paper at Pippi's head when she's taking notes and then goes back to looking innocent.

Seras shrugged and held out the paint pot.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"I'm planning," Walter said and made a silly face at her before taking a smear of black paint and dragging it across his face.

"Oh yes, you can use it to paint concentric circles on your face." she grinned.

"Ah, basic black," said Seras with a nod, "Very safe choice."

She dipped her fingers in a pot of green paint and made smears beneath her eyes.
