Lying and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, Class #5

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod was sunburned, but relaxed, as he stood in front of the class. "Hello. So, you're trying to find someone, and their trail has gone cold. Or, you're running a con, and you need to make sure you don't get caught. So, what else do you need? You need friends. Or, if not friends, confederates who won't be bought--because you have common interests, or loyalty, or they owe you a favor, or whatever."

"So, today's project is to make a list of people you would look for, if you wanted to find a missing person, or a list of people you might want to make friends with if you wanted to protect yourself. Then, I want you to explain how you would go about doing that."

He yawned. "Excuse me. Anyway, that's a short class assignment, but be prepared for next week--I'm going to want you to have an idea in mind of what kind of character you'd want to be, and next week, you'll be learning how to dress the part."

Tyler stared at his paper for a long time.

He knew what he would do. He'd look for a guy with a broken nose and empty eyes, and trade on who that person thought he was until he got whatever he wanted.

He assumed that wasn't an option in Jarod's world, so he twirled the pen between his fingers as he waited for words to come.
