NAME OF CLASS: How Not To Be Seen (Introduction)
PROFESSOR ToT NAME: Ninja-san
General information: This seminar is held daily at noon in a small field just outside the Weeping Forest. Ninja-san encourages students interested in learning stealth techniques and techniques for spotting hidden beings and objects to attend one or more sessions.
Mechanics: Roll 1d20 five times, RP out the results.
Section 1 - Arriving at class: 1d20
1-2: You're either stupid or clumsy: you showed up for class ... visibly. Tiny ninja vulpes shuriken sting you in multiple spots until you get out of range. Ow. Fail.
3-9: You found a good hiding spot, and you're pretty sure you weren't spotted getting there. Pass.
10-11: You found a good spot, but some portion of your body is showing. The vulpes put a couple of shuriken into the exposed bit to let you know you're visible. You should probably go before they circle around and find other bits of you to assault. Fail.
12-19: You found a good hiding spot, and you're pretty sure you weren't spotted getting there. Pass.
20: You are a very sneaky person indeed. Nobody even suspects you're here. Pass; you may adjust your section 2 roll by +1 or -1.
Section 2 - Practical application: 1d20 x 3 posts
1-5: You can't for the life of you spot any other students. Are you sure you're not the only one here? Fail.
6-10: You saw someone arriving, but you don't see them now. Still, you scribble down their name/description on your paper. Pass.
11-14: You didn't see the stack of worksheets on your way in. Or you forgot your pen - or the ninja vulpes lifted it silently. Either way, you can't turn in what you don't have ... Fail.
15-19: You spotted someone. You write down their name/description and note their hiding spot. Pass.
20: You spotted someone - AND you spotted the ninja vulpes stealing some small item from them. You write down who, where, and what was stolen. Pass; you may adjust your section 3 roll by +1 or -1. This bonus stacks if you roll it more than once.
Section 3 - Turn in your work: 1d20
1-5: You slip your paper into the box without anyone spotting you. You think. Congratulations, you've passed this session!
6-15: The box is almost impossible to approach unseen. How does Ninja-san expect anyone to manage this? You try anyway - but a rain of shuriken lets you know that the vulpes definitely saw you. Fail.
16-20: Nobody saw you put your worksheet into the box, but it's certainly in there. Congratulations, you've passed this session!
Bonus Mechanics:
Extra Credit - Spot Ninja-san: 1d100, optional
1-98: Nope. You don't see him. Is he even here?
99-100: You see a little flicker of motion over there. Is that a figure? Yes, it is. Ninja-san waves at you, looking pleased. Then you blink. Where'd he go? Later, after class, you find a silver seed in your pocket. (Quote ToT Secretly a Ninja in your post.)
YOU LOSE/FINISH THIS RP WHEN... - You are finished rolling all 5 dice. That means you have to START OVER to try again! You may do so in the same thread or a new one if you decide to attempt again at a later date.

Mia hated giving up. She really did, but Desu's cave was wreaking havoc on her psyche as well as her physique, and after Psy pleaded with her, she decided it was perhaps finally time to call it a day.
That didn't mean she was going to stop going to classes, no. She had a lot to catch up on, and she wasn't planning on slacking off anytime soon. So close. She was SO CLOSE. At least, she felt like she was. She would take all these classes. She would challenge Andrew to a rematch. She would win.
Perhaps her motivation was a little skewed, but her heart was in the right place. Mostly.
Besides, this class did seem rather interesting, and it wasn't restricted to just a classroom (the cave didn't count. She didn't want to talk about the cave), and while having it in the Weeping Forest brought back unpleasant memories of that artifact trip, at least it didn't involve risks of dissipation... she hoped.
Basically, the class was just like a large game of hide-and-seek and scavenger hunt. Just... on a more professional level.
She hated to say it, but she was kind of excited.

At the designated time, Mia made her way to the meeting spot, and was about to walk in normally when she remembered just what kind of class she had signed up for. The point of it was... not to be seen, right?
Surely it'd defeat the purpose if she just walked in as she was, and she paused, wondering how best to attend the class. She DID want to partake in it, but she didn't want to fail the very first task. Seriously, how demeaning would that be?
Looking around, she noted it probably wasn't TOO hard to hide, what with trees surrounding the whole area. And so, she stepped quietly, aided by the ground muffling her footsteps, and pressed herself behind a tree, peering into the clearing.
Well, it seemed the ninja vulpes (she assumed that's what they were) hadn't spotted her.
That... was a good thing, right? |

Now that she had got herself well-hidden (at least she hopped), she kept a lookout.
... what were they supposed to be doing?
Hearing a rustle, she froze, afraid she had been found out, but instead, it seemed to be another student arriving. Oh right, there were other students taking this class probably, though taking into consideration the nature of the class, it was... probably hard to tell who exactly, or how many.
Still, she pulled out a small pocket notebook, and jotted down a description of the student. |

Mia kept an open eye, trying to see if there were any other students she could spot. For a class that didn't seem to have much expectations out of it other than see and not be seen, it was... actually pretty fun.
Her head turned at the sound of footsteps, notebook poised, but what she HADN'T expected to see was one of the ninja vulpes pick-pocket them.
... wait, not only did they have to not be seen, but they had to make sure their valuables don't get stolen also?! Oh wait, maybe that was the purpose of not being seen, so that you don't get pick-pocketed. Well.
Still, whatever was being stolen from the student wasn't of her concern. It was their fault for not paying attention. She jotted down descriptions of the student, and what was stolen.
It wasn't much anyways. A glass cloth, from what she could tell. |

Quote: 1-5: You slip your paper into the box without anyone spotting you. You think. Congratulations, you've passed this session!
Well, it seemed... she had written enough.
... was she supposed to write more? She really didn't know.
While she liked the fact that this class was pretty lax, she was beginning to think it was too lax. There were... no instructions specifically SAYING you couldn't be seen, or that you'd be monitored by little ninja minis, and that they'd be stealing from you. Wasn't that against school code?
... was there even A school code?
Seriously, so much about this school worried her, and at times, she wondered if she even made the right choice coming here. Still, among the bad, there's always some good, and there was no exception here. Olivia, Molan (though he was debatable), Marcy... here she found friends she could trust and confide in, and for that, she was thankful.
Feeling consoled by that fact, she decided to finish up.
She just... had to hand this in, right? And after looking around a bit, she spotted a box, which she assumed was what she was supposed to use to hand in her work, or, er, the "notes" she had taken.
Doing her very best to tear the sheet out neatly, carefully and quietly out of her notebook, Mia did quick glances here and there to make sure no one had heard or spotted her.
When she felt as if she was finally in the clear, with no one watching in her general direction, she quickly dashed (or tiptoed; running in high heels was hard) and slipped her paper in.
Done.
Now to get out of here without being spotted again. |
