Detention: 9/30/06

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

When entering the Danger Shop for detention today, the students will find themselves in a rather tranquil environment.

Tranquil, but somewhat unnatural. White void as far as the eye can see, barring the single, almost floating doors that would lead back out of the Danger Room.

The Doctor sits cross-legged on the spotless white floor, a small notepad in his lap, a pen behind one of his sizable ears.

He marks down attendance as people arrive.

Agnes Nitt
Blair Sandburg

When both students had arrived, the Doctor did not speak, but held up a simple note.

It read "Meditate".

[ooc: Sorry for the lateness. Last minute covering. EDIT: Up and Ready.]

Sign In/Meditate

A few hours of contemplation does everyone good.

Blair eyed the note and grinned, this was something he could handle. He settled himself on the floor and took a few deep breaths, settling into the meditation easily.

Agnes eyed the sign, eyed the doctor, eyed Blair, and tried not to groan.

As though she really needed quiet time to be alone with herself.

However, she lowered herself to the floor and did her best to do just that.

It was a wholly unpleasant experience.

Lunchtime

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

At right about noon, the door to the Danger Room opens, and in walks the Doctor carrying three large pizza boxes from Pizza Planet, a package of Penguin biscuits, and a very large thermos filled with tea (and three cups).

"Ah, good you're both here," the Doctor said. "Sorry I wasn't here in the flesh until now, but, I come bearing food and drink. Plain cheese, veggie, and a smattering of meats are the different toppings, just to cover my bases. Eat up, drink, chat, we'll have something more interesting after you're fed."

Blair blinked at the sight of the Doctor coming into the room but he shrugged and stretched. A few hours of meditation had made him pretty mellow. "Smells great, man. Thanks!"

Re: Lunchtime

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor shut off the projected version of himself and set out the food, sitting on the floor himself.

"Was a bit preoccupied earlier," the Doctor said. "Hopefully you weren't too bored?"

Re: Lunchtime

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Nah, man." Blair took a slice of cheese pizza and one of meat for himself and sat back. "I meditate a lot on my own. I don't normally get that sort of uninterrupted block of time though, so it was cool."

Re: Lunchtime

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"Good to hear," the Doctor said. He paused. "What sort of nefarious deed di you commit to get landed in here, exactly?"

Re: Lunchtime

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

Agnes looked dubiously at the round flat things, but it smelled good, so she waited to see how Blair ate it and then took a couple of pieces for herself.

Oh yes, she approved of this stuff.

She really wished she knew why her mood kept swinging up and down, though. It was starting to get on her nerves.

Re: Lunchtime

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"And how about you," the Doctor asked Agnes. "What evil deed did you commit?"

Re: Lunchtime

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

Agnes chewed slowly before answering. "I missed a class and chose detention so I could make up a quiz."

Re: Lunchtime

"Oh," the Doctor said. "That doesn't seem so bad."

The First Afternoon Activity

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

After folks have finished eating and the general bit of socializing, the Doctor began putting the trash away in a large plastic bag he pulled from his pocket.

"Fantastic pizza, isn't it? Now, you're wondering what we'll be doing now, aren't you. Miss Nitt, Mister Sandburg, you're about to embark on a very, very intriguins and important activity. You are about to..." He flourished his arms in a wide gesture, his smile wide. "Save the world!"

A single piece of furniture materializes, a table with two chess boards sitting on it.

"It's said that you can postpone your own demise by playing Death at chess," the Doctor said. "I defeated evil by trapping it into a logic puzzle." He gestured towards the boards.

"Come up with something you think would stump an evil from before time began. Collaborate, do your own thing, ask me questions about how ketchup tastes on the culinary delights of Betelgeuse five, just try and have fun today. Oh, and we'll have one more thing to do after this."

Re: The First Afternoon Activity

Blair looked down at the chess boards and then over at Agnes. "Um...do you know how to play?"

Re: The First Afternoon Activity

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

Agnes shook her head. "No. I never learned."

Re: The First Afternoon Activity

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Me either." Blair shrugged. "Which means we probably shouldn't challenge it to a game."

Re: The First Afternoon Activity

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

"Maybe we can try another game like Cripple Mr. Onion," Agnes suggested. "It shouldn't be which game that's important, right?"

The Second Afternoon Activity

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

After finishing up the chess puzzling, the Doctor clapped his hands and the table vanished.

"Now, for our last bit of world important decisions." He clapped again and suddenly a bunch of rather unhappy looking aliens appeared.

"You're unarmed, you've got a bunch very mean aliens glaring at you, and the wrong word might send them into a killing frenzy. What do you do?"

Re: The Second Afternoon Activity

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Wave quietly?" Blair said, demonstrating.

Re: The Second Afternoon Activity

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"And if they start advancing on you?"

Re: The Second Afternoon Activity

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Advancing in a let's have some friendly conversation way?"

Done for the Day

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

Assuming the activities have been completed, you are free to leave approxamitely at 4 pm FST.

OOC

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

Sorry for some of the lame-itude, here. Very last minute of me.

Re: OOC

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Thank you again for covering.

Re: OOC

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

My pleasure.

Even though my plans have been foiled by students with lack of chess knowledge! Curses! :-D
