fandomhigh | Detention, the Danger Shop 9/16/2006

When the students entered the Danger Shop, they would most likely notice that the room was just about empty. Except for seven chairs and a whole rack of costumes and table of accessories. Aly was perched on the table with a clipboard of names.

~~Joxer~~
~~Teddy Altman~~
~~Pip Bernadette~~
~~Walter Dornez~~
Blair Sandburg
Alanna Trebond
Layla Williams

Once everyone was seated, she looked up and grinned. "Well, then, since you were so gracious as to come spend your Saturday with me, welcome. I have three things for each of you to do today. You're going to need to get the information, carry out the instructions, and then answer the question." She looked amused. "To do the first, you'll have to blend into the crowd. So after you all tell me your names and why you're here, I'll give you your assignment. You'll want to dress the part then we'll go from there."

[OOC: Detention should last until from 9am-5pm EDT. I'll be afk from about 4:15-7EDT but I'm more than happy to keep playing after that if you want to. As a disclaimer? This is quite possibly all silliness. If you have any questions, get me on IM: spymasteraly]

Answer the question, rescue the princess, as it were. (Ping in here to get the question, yes)

Walter circled around the bar rather than deal with Bet again and headed to the right when he reached the front entrance, keeping an eye open for whomever he was supposed to be meeting.

The man (http://pics.livejournal.com/kypriothschoice/pic/00006yry) who was waiting out front was definitely neither a sailor nor a pirate.

But an attractive choice.

Walter approached the man, the coin possibly slightly visible in his cupped hand.

The man smiled slightly at Walter. "So I've the question."

Not that he had any clue what that meant, but he was still playing along.

He nodded and said, "I'd like to hear it."

Pip turned right and looked around for whoever it is he was supposed to look for.

There was a man (http://pics.livejournal.com/kypriothschoice/pic/00006yry) standing out on the sidewalk.

"Am I supposed to give you this?" Pip asked, holding up the gold coin.

The man grinned. "Who'd turn down a coin now and again," he said, holding his hand out for it.

"In exchange, I give you this: if you were pushed down a flight of stairs, what would you fall against?"

Pip thought about this for a while.

A long while.

And then he got it and groaned. "Your will," he said.

Alanna followed the notes directions outside.

The Danger Shop turned into a normal street as she stepped out of the ballroom. To her right was a man. (http://pics.livejournal.com/kypriothschoice/pic/00006yry)

"Er...hi?"

The man looked slightly sheepish. "I've the question."

He paused then said. "Born at the same time as the world, destined to live as long as the world, and yet never five weeks old. What is it?"

"Five weeks?"

Layla held on tightly to the coin as she followed the directions on the piece of paper and headed out and to the right.

She exited onto a deserted street. In front of her was a man (http://pics.livejournal.com/kypriothschoice/pic/00006yry) who looked awfully embarrassed.

"Oh, hi," she said to the man. "Am I supposed to give you code words too? Because I think I only got one set."

He shook his head. "No, I've the question you're to answer. What always ends everything?"

That clicking sound? Was all of the gears in Layla's head turning at once. "I swear I've heard this before. Oh! The letter G?"

Teddy looked up from the instructions toward his next right. Nope, no people fondling guns over there.

He turned right and looked around for what to do next

The only person on the street was a man (http://pics.livejournal.com/kypriothschoice/pic/00006yry) who looked at Teddy appraisingly.

Teddy looked around the street again, just to be sure, before walking up to the man.

He took the coin out of his pocket and held it up. "I think this is for you."

The man nodded then smiled. "I've the question for you. A woman has 7 children; half of them are boys. How is this possible?"
