Detention, Saturday, June 2

When students entered the Danger Shop, they would have found it looked a whole lot like a palace made entirely of clouds. That was because it was a palace made entirely of clouds. The area was surrounded by cloud pillars. There were cloud chairs scattered around and a cloud table off to the side with real food and plenty to drink. There was even a cloud sound system where DJ Apollo was playing some tunes for the godly audience (mostly a lot of Marvin Gaye and The Who).

"Welcome to Mount Olympus, home of the gods. As punishment for your crimes against the school, or for having really bad luck, you're now part of the Pantheon, minus the godly powers. And hey, yeah, what do you know? It's a family reunion. Feel the pain. Now get in there and make like a god."

"This lovely dish of poison is my sister, Demeter. She's the goddess of corn, fruit, agriculture and pixy stix. See if you can beat her in a hot dog eating contest. There's the vegetarian option if you're a herbivore or whatever it is you call it."

Demeter waddled over. "Bring it on then!"

"I could go for some hot dogs," John said preparing himself for a good contest.

"What a coincidence, dear! So could I. Shall we?" Demeter asked, preparing herself.

Hades stood there with a stopwatch. "As many as you can eat in three minutes. 3...2...1...eat your heart out."

Demeter began to chow down with a superhuman appetite.

It was a long three minutes.

John ate the first hot dog, "Tasty!"

John ate a second hot dog, "Needs mustard."

John ate a third hot dog, "I wish this were a turkey sandwich."

John stopped talking as he at the fourth, fifth, and sixth hot dog. He just finished swallowing when time ran out. "Six!" he announced.

Demeter kept eating.

"Uh, sibling o' mine? You can stop now. No really. You're embarassing yourself. If you don't stop, I'm gonna- okay, fine, keep eating. The mortal wins on account of Demeter being disqualified."

John stood up to cheer for himself, but gripped his stomach in pain as it cramped. "Woot!" he said weakly.

"Way to go, kid. Don't puke or anything. I'm not cleaning it up."

Observing all the hot dogs, Setsuna closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. "Bring me a glass of water," she requested (something about being in Olympus made her feel more formal and regal that normal). She meditated a little, focusing her chi before the competition, but she did not call on Buddha or one of her Shinto gods. After all, a legend rang through the hills and rivers of Japan of a great man, who's skill at consuming hot dogs in such a fashion was simply not mortal. She called upon the spirit of Kobiyashi to guide her.

A glass of water appeared at Setsuna's side.

"Ready, dear? Think you have what it takes?" Demeter asked, preening. Not that the real Demeter was entirely like that, but Hades didn't think much of his sister.

Setsuna drew in a deep breath and nodded. "Ready," she announced, and started on the hot dogs quickly, dipping them in the water before she ate them. She didn't know what the water was supposed to do, but apparantly, seeping was important. Having a stomach disease that naturally made it expand more than humanly normal would also help, but, alas. There could only be one...Kobiyashi.

Demeter scoffed down as many hot dogs as she could in the allotted time.

As did Setsuna. Which, while it wasn't many, it sure was a heck of a lot more than she thought herself capable. Her alabaster skin was looking just a bit green by the time the clock ran out, and she let out a long breath of air. That? Was a lot of freakin' hot dogs. How the hell had she managed to eat so many? Where did she put it all? ~~It was all going to go to her thiiiiighs.~~

The hot dogs had already gone to Demeter's thighs...and her backside and pretty much everywhere else too. For the goddess of agriculture, she wasn't a very healthy eater. "Did I win?" she asked, spraying food everywhere.

"Nope, Deadpool's favorite girl won. You lose, sis," Hades decided even though he hadn't counted. He really just liked his sister losing.

Demeter sobbed and ate another hot dog to console herself.

"...I...I did?" Setsuna blinked. She didn't feel very much like she won. She felt like crashing onto the table with a groan. Which she did.

Screw you, Kobiyashi.

Luke wasn't exactly sure of the point of this, but he sat down anyway. "What's a hot dog?"

"It's a sausage of processed meat in a long bun," Demeter explained. "You can add condiments if you'd like."

"...think I'll pass on the condiments," Luke said slowly as he saw what the food looked like. "You eat these for fun?"

"A girl needs a hobby!" she replied in a shrill voice.

"You couldn't pick something like shooting or, I don't know, macrame?" Luke asked as he tucked himself into a chair and piled a few hot dogs onto a plate.

"You might not want to spread the macrame thing around. Kids like you have been beaten up for less. 3...2...1...EAT!"

Demeter chowed down on the hot dogs like a ravenous goddess eating hot dogs.

Luke rapidly discovered he wasn't a huge hot dog fan.

He got through four of them before turning slightly green.

Well, Haku had eaten quite a few hotdogs when he bought them a few weeks before.

The small Japanese boy sat down and began eating quickly.

This caught Demeter by surprise. She started eating hurriedly, snarfing down as many as she could within the time limit.

Haku didn't pay any attention to Demeter as he continued to eat. By the time ended he'd gotten about 15 or so dogs down.

"Those were much tastier than the ones I made before, thank you."

Hades was impressed. Demeter was not. "Not fair!" she sprayed. "He got a head start!"

"Pipe down, holo-sister, and go eat a pint of ice cream to calm down," Hades replied, then gave Haku two flaming thumbs up.
