School Assembly, Friday Afternoon, The Auditorium

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Fandom High students and faculty! This week's assembly comes to you out of necessity due to the cost of construction. Our speakers today have a focus on corporate sponsorship and are here to show you the good side and bad side of such sponsorship. Now if you'll give our guests your undivided attention, we can begin!"

[OOC: Same deal as last week. General conversation threads are nice and open, reactions to our guests can go in their threads after they have pinged in, and same for Q&A. Thanks to my assembly volunteers for contributing. :)

ETA: The sprinklers were set off here and will be going until shortly after a faculty member busts those responsible. Faculty members? Nail them!]

Since Aziraphale had to come up for class anyway, Wilson had decided to tag along. Besides, he needed to drop off lollipops in his office anyway and since he was here, he'd decided to sit in on an assembly, as he had, after all, consigned three of his students to the next one.

He was currently, being reminded of why attending anything at Fandom High was an enterprise never to be taken on lightly, as the water from the sprinklers washed down over his head, soaking his hair and the shoulder of his shirt.

Uh huh.

Standing and turning, he happened to notice Bel -a known producer of fire like substances- and another student looking guilty and headed in their direction. Thus, Bel's furative glances might have come to notice, Wilson standing there with his arms crossed, drenched and with a cocked eyebrow.

"Belthazor?"

As he wasn't being addressed, Zuko tried to look innocent. Which actually looked a lot like scowling. Also, he was steaming a bit.

Aly showed up just behind Zuko to tap him on the shoulder having been keeping an eye on the assembly from the side of the room.

"And you too, I think, hmmm," she said. "Interesting place to use your Gift."

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

Zuko jumped, his attention having been on Wilson so he hadn't expected anyone to show up behind him. "I was bored," he informed her, not so bothered with keeping up pretense.

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[demonbelthazor]

"I didn't do it!" Bel said, totally willing to sell Zuko up the river. And he wasn't lying, really.

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

Wilson flicked a glance towards Aly as she came up behind what looked to be another guilty party and gave her a quick, wry smile before turning his attention back to Bel for the moment.

"Well, I won't say you physically turned the sprinklers on." Wilson agreed. "However, fireballs have a tricky tendency to cause such reactions in fire prevention equipment."

"Especially minor fire duels in the midst of the audience," Aly said sweetly, wishing she could laugh. She looked from Bel to Zuko. "Boredom or simple oneupmanship, neither is an excuse to get us all wet."

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[demonbelthazor]

"Sorry?" Bel offered up.

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko was scowling at Bel for his willingness to sell him out. "Who puts a shower in here anyway?" he grumbled unhappily.

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Inwardly, Wilson was really pleased to hear a 'sorry' from Bel and not a fight and while he, like Aly, was fighting back a grin, he wasn't quite sure what options they had open to them for this situation.

"Sorry is good but really gentlemen, a fire duel in the middle of a student filled auditorium, a little dangerous don't you think?"

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko sneered at Wilson's words. "If you think that was a fire duel..."

Yep, so not helping his case.

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly almost rolled her eyes.

"No, it was showing off for each other. I suppose you both lost since you both were caught," she said, still lightly. "Maybe you can both ponder the fact in detention tomorrow?"

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[demonbelthazor]

"I'd've kicked your ass," Bel finished for Zuko.

Not helping either.

Then he heard what Aly said. "Oh, come on!" he protested. "Nobody got hurt!"

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson tended to have a fairly high tolerance for teenager hijinks but he did have a line and that was on the subject of respect and Zuko's sneering came very close to skirting that line.

The arched eyebrow and warning look said as much as did the fact that while he had been bordering on letting the situation go with just a mild talking to, Aly's declaration of detention met with a supportive nod from Wilson.

[ooc: My spot, mine mine! :D]

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Warning looks didn't much go anywhere with Zuko.

"Belthazor's right. No one got hurt and if anyone got his ass kicked, it would have been him."

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[demonbelthazor]

Of course Bel wasn't going to take that comment lying down.

"Oh, please!" he said. "Just because you can do fancy tricks with fire doesn't mean I can't smoke you with a fireball," he said. He tried to summon up another one, but the continuing rain of water from the sprinklers extinguished it immediately.

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"I'd like to see you try," Zuko challenged quickly.

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly immediately jumped between the two of them, daring either to keep up the theatrics.

"I don't much care who'd smoke whom. When you get caught, you pay the penalty." She looked from Zuko to Bel. "Stop now," she commanded.

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Strangely enough, Zuko didn't argue with that part where he got to pay a price for his actions. He did come close to eyerolling at not being allowed to have some fun.

It seemed like the perfect timing to turn and storm off in a cloud of emo. Sadly enough, he couldn't. "Where's detention?"

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Danger Room tomorrow morning. Nine o'clock," Aly replied with a nod to Zuko.

She turned her gaze on Belthazor.

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, yeah, I know the place," Bel grumbled, glaring. It was becoming his usual Saturday home, after all.

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Having all the information he needed, Zuko didn't stay to listen to what bel said. He did briefly glance at him before spinning on his heels and walking out of the room, dismissing himself.

Steam rose up from his clothes as he left the sprinkler's range. At least he wouldn't be wet for long.

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson sighed softly and gave Aly a little grin.

"Do you want to do the paperwork or shall I?"

Re: General Audience Conversation [10/13]

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Making sure her back was to Bel, Aly winked back at him. "I can. I handed it out after all."
