Sliding over to the box she wanted she began to flip through them looking at each of them for the slightest thing that could be different. She thought it would be easier than this she practically saw the thing every day since her sister was a creature person. Still flip them she began to go a bit faster which probably wasn't the right thing to do because as soon as she began to do it a couple badges fell on the ground. Opps. Bending down she picked them up and then stood back up quickly. No one saw that right? Just as she was about to put them back she noticed one of them only had one star thing. "Erm is this one a counterfeit..." She wasn't one hundred percent sure but it was different it only had one star she had never really identified counterfeits anyway... Quote:

So, sticking her hand into the box while stareing into it, she started sifting the badges around. Soon enough, one caught her eye and she pulled it out to investigate. Sadly, the faded color seemed to be just normal wear and tear. She tossed it aside and resumed her search.
A few more minutes went by and another badge caught her eye. This time, instead of the faded red, the color was more of a pinkish red than the others. "Erueka!" she exclaimed, holding up the badge and feeling slightly proud of herself. Quote:

Then he gave instructions...so she took one of the boxes of badges...and tried to sift through the badges, trying to spot a difference...
In the box of the one with the MLE badges, and she found one without the little prongs sticking out outside the circle of the badge...Hmm...that looked suspicious..."THis one looks quite fishy, if you ask me.." she picked it up and held it up...hmm. Hmm. Seems like people are getting restless again. Or bored, but at least the rest of the training should be more than just skill testing, Dorian thought, as only a few MLEers seemed willing to step forward to investigate the contents of the boxes. Granted, in its own way, he had to admit that counterfeit magic wasn't half as exciting as actually fighting, and he hadn't set an incentive for his activity like Cade had either, but it was their own decision if they wanted to disregard all aspects of the training that had been set forward for them. Not to mention he had to give credit to the fact that two out of the three who had tackled the activity were from the opposite side of the floor. Including Ms. Whitworth, who had seemed surprised he'd known her name. There was no reason for him to only know the employee names of his own division after all.
Either way, he'd nodded as her, Ms. Carter and Ms. Nightingale had all indicated a badge from whichever box they'd chosen. "Those are all intelligent observations, ladies," he responded. Even if at least one of them hadn't actually verbalized said decision. "Granted, these are all easy tests. The easiest way to identify that something is a counterfeit is that something is missing. Although, in the same respect," he continued, holding out a hand for the badge Ms. Whitworth was holding. "We all know that MLE can be a dangerous job. So something as simple as a badge with a few spokes broken off might not be an example of counterfeit production as opposed to just simple wear and tear from the job. You should always consider the context in any situation, just as a matter of course." And then he smiled slightly. "This one, though, was actually counterfeit. And that's going to end my lesson," he said, vanishing the boxes as he glanced toward the other heads. "So now if you'll turn your attention to Mr. Vartann, we'll move things to the next topic." And he nodded slightly toward Gabe as he stepped back into the lineup.
