Detention, Saturday Morning, April 7

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

When the students filed into the Danger Shop this morning, they'd notice Fraser standing at attention near the front of the room. The names of those with detention were neatly displayed in plain view.


Alec
Rikku
Seely Booth
Hamlet Dane
Jim Ellison
Zero Hopeless-Savage
Ranma Sao

"Good morning everyone," Fraser said, smiling pleasantly. "I trust you all had a fine Friday, slept well and are prepared for your detention this morning. Some of you may know me, some of you may not. I'm Constable Benton Fraser, head of school security here. If this is our first meeting, I wish it could be under better circumstances."

He paused to take his hat off and drop it on a desk. "For today's detention, we're going to have a little adventure. This adventure will be non violent and, should you try anything violent, you will have to deal with me. I'll be guiding your progress and controlling the adventure. Your goal is to retrieve the treasure from the castle and unleash it's many wonders. Good luck."

Fraser stepped back and the Danger Shop suddenly became a large, open meadow.

[Basically, this is Choose Your Own Adventure. I'll start out with a setting and some minor directions and the students can go from there. Familiar characters might pop up along the way. But, please, no violence. I'll be around all day most likely.]

Large Meadow

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

You are in a large meadow. It's a chilly but not cold. In the far distant north, you can see a castle. To the west lies a dilapidated cottage. To the east lies a quiet, serene river.

At your feet, you find a compass, a small feather, and a key with no markings.

Where would you like to go?

[Just have your student choose where to go and I'll ping back with what happens.]

Seely picked up the compass, feather, and key, then headed towards the river.

As Seely got closer to the river, he'd be able to see someone hunched over the river, drinking water copiously. The person didn't look threatening.

Alec frowned slightly as he looked around himself, finally taking the compass, the feather and the key in case they had some use later on, then headed towards the cottage out of curiosity.

Re: Large Meadow

The outside of the cottage was crowded with rickety chairs, broken tables, and other knick knacks. Smoke was rising from the chimney.

Adventure: fun! Non-violent: less fun, but she was weaponless anyway. Treasure: always up for it, thanks.

So Rikku took a moment to stretch out and consider her surroundings. Serene river: pleasant, but less likely to have useful items. Cottage: far more appeal in that direction.

Scooping up the compass, feather, and key, she headed to the west, a decided bounce in her step.

As Rikku traveled west, there was suddenly an explosion from the cottage, blowing out a window and sending dark, billowing smoke up from the chimney.

Hamlet picked up the three items, looked them over before putting them away, and flipped to page 42 headed west towards the dilapidated cottage.

Re: Large Meadow

The cottage was quiet. Boards were on the windows, the door was hanging off it's hinges. It's possible someone lived there but there were several useful things lying around should Hamlet explore.

Zero picked up compass, feather, and key, and set off toward the cottage.

It started raining on Zero. A hard, torrential downpour.

Castle

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

The castle is heavily guarded by well trained soldiers. There is a ladder that leads over the castle wall to the left off the guards. There is a moat that leads to the innermost chambers of the dungeon.

Where do you go?

Re: Castle

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

The castle loomed large as Rikku grew closer. Guards marched across the entrance, patrolling.

There is a ladder near the guards and a moat running below the guards and the draw bridge.

Rikku wandered up carefully, trying her best to be sneaky. She knelt down to inspect the moat. Full of bitey things? Or just water?

Re: Castle

The Princess led Alec to the entrance of the castle before turning to him.

"Before we enter, are you sure you are pure of heart, mind and soul?"

Re: Castle

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Alec said impatiently. "Like a lamb or child or other appropriate symbol of purity, whatever."

Lunch

Pause your adventures and eat lunch.

Rikku munched her handwavey lunch, bouncing to herself and looking for her co-Naked Mutineers.

OOC

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Ping if you have any questions, need my attention when I'm ignoring you (hee hee), or want to give me cookies.

Re: OOC

Unexpectedly AFK for like . . . the whole day. Damn my grandmother and her dial-up. Would play if I could.

Re: OOC

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

My availability will be highly sporadic all day, as I have some relatives coming over for Easter.

Way better than those CYA books from childhood.
