Hiding

Jenny's first step when developing a plan had been to gather information, but she'd still missed a rather important detail. She could be somewhat forgiven as she really wasn't the kind of girl to watch _that _kind of entertainment. She'd always just nodded along and felt vaguely superior when anyone told her something from a hunt. Her crash course had been broad, but brief by necessity, she only had a little over a week. Everyone seemed to run and fight. No one ever seemed to hide or fortify a location. Jenny assumed this was because they were all fools. It wasn't.

On the day of the Hunt it would be an understatement to say that Jenny was nervous. She could still back out she knew, but that would be letting Laura win. She couldn't give her the satisfaction, and beside her plan was foolproof. In essence it was a simple idea, cutting off the collar from the wider world. It was a bit of a cheat, but while the collar and gauntlets were required, it seemed there wasn't any rules against wrapping said collar in something, say tin foil. Sure the collar had a GPS in it, but tucked inside a Faraday cage it would have no possible way of locating it self or informing others of it's location. Probably, she decided, they would update the contract after this, and it certainly wouldn't earn her any long term fame, but she thought it would at least get her through the day.

Her suit up was therefore relatively simple. She slipped into baggy sweater with a turtle neck which served well to hide the collar which she wrapped tightly in two layers of aluminum foil taken from the kitchen. The gauntlets were more of a challenge, but even though everything she could find stated the tracking was all in the collar she didn't really trust that. she carefully folded pouched out of the foil and slipped the gauntlets on. Then to hide the obvious sign of a combatant she slid her hands gauntlets and all into a pair of gloves. It was hellishly warm in her apartment, but given the weather she wouldn't look to out of place on the street. She might have to break a tale, she wasn't the only one who knew there was a Hunt starting that day.

Finally with a fast beating hart and trembling hands, she snapped the collar around her neck and slid it under her shirt's neck.
