Re: IC: Scene One, Upper Staff Room
Dani snorted, unimpressed that Eustacia had looked to Nikki when it came to talking potions rather than at least including her. She got on with the American, the girl was a whizz in the lab, but Dani was...well...Not an exchange student. And then little miss prefect. Well at least the headmistress appreciated her skills. "First, establish the desired outcome. Second, establish available ingredients and equipment. Third, eliminate any pre-known combinations that have already proven ineffective." Dani looked up from her scribbling and ticked off points on her fingers. "We can boost either but beauty is easier to fake magically. So long as they don't have an old girl on staff or something. I know I would. We COULD Weird Science it and get Angharad to make a brain but there's a hell of a lot can go wrong." She screwed up her nose at Viridia's suggestion of getting at the markers. "If something's multiple guess then it's probably computer marked, even if it isn't, they're likely to have more than one person handling it, a team that get moderated afterwards or something, like normal exams. In terms of getting in, I'd bet there's an application process then an audition and then it goes on from there. Like one of those dumb reality talent shows with the people who think they're good but have only been put through to the televised stuff for ratings." She shifted her position, leaning forwards as she got into her stride. "Em's right though, we need to find out numbers. Every waiting room has copies of Vague in it but they don't get nicked so they can't be that interesting. Or everyone already has a copy..."
Dani looked down at her arm, nodding as she checked off the points she had made. "And when it comes to looking for a base to work on, you could do worse than DaVinci's ratios. Get a proportional canvas and you can do a lot with not much. Plus, the human brain is wired to find that sort of perfection attractive, even if the person themself isn't too bothered about brunettes or whatever. Preferably no glasses or contacts unless you want to use them to fake some smarts in those rounds, one ear piercing tops, no visible tattoos at least. Probably long hair, boobs about a D cup...Yeah, DaVinci."
