Detention, Saturday, June 30th.

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Coming into the Danger Shop for the detention session, Kenpachi was grinning. True, it was his usual sadomasochistic, baby-eating smirk, but there might actually have been some small threads of genuine joy in between those rows of white, white teeth. He was almost out-grinning the beaming Yachiru on his shoulder. The Danger Shop itself, the students would notice, appeared to be a long stretch of grassy field, occasionally interrupted by a shrub here, a rock there. Behind them seemed to be a squabbling little village. Ahead of them, they would find an odd, odd building. Off in the distance, there stood what could only be described as a strange, white fortress.



"My, my, aren't you all the lucky ones," Kenpachi started out, dangerously happy glint in your eyes. "You see, while I'm sure each and every one of you has done something quite terrible to earn yourselves here in punishment, this is the last of any of you I will ever have to see again. They've finally come to their damned senses and realized that this is not the place for me. In other terms, whatever nonsense they were trying to keep me out of has blown over and I can return to the Soul Society. So help me, I never in a million years thought I'd miss it until I came here. And, this being detention, I hope this means I get the roughest, toughest, worst that this pit has to offer, but, getting a look at the likes of you," his eye passed over the assembled students, especially...was that a frog? "I seriously doubt it. Try not to disappoint me."

"This," he continued, sweeping out his arms, "is the Soul Society. A part of it, anyway. This little exercise I've put together for you is like a little situation that happened before I came here, when a group of ryoka thought they could just parade in here and rescue someone. Ryoka...a term used for people who enter the Soul Society that are not dead. Today, you are ryoka. You are here to rescue someone."

"It will not be easy," Kenpachi warned them. "The person you are to rescue--"

"She's a princess!" Yachiru interrupted brightly.

Kenpachi groaned, rolling his eyes. "Fine, fine, this princess you are going to rescue is there." He whipped out his sword and pointed toward the fortress. "The Seireitei. This is the place where Shinigami such as Yachiru and myself reside. A place where normal souls are not supposed to go. More specifically, this princess will be there...That tall white tower. That is the Senzaikyu. In order to get to the Senzaikyu, you must first get the the Seireitei. The only conventional way to do that is to not only get past the guards at the gates, but also any Shinigami that might come investigate the break-in. The first ryoka tried this and failed, but they found another way in."

The smirk seemed to grow. Telling a whole new group of people how to cause chaos in the Soul Society just felt so wonderfully antagonistic. He cocked his head toward the strange house nearby. "Kuukaku Shiba. That's your ticket. You are to go to Shiba, get into the Seireitei, and save the...princess. Don't expect it to be easy. This is just a simulation, but there will be two obstacles waiting for you within. Be prepared. Give me something good to go back with."



Kenpachi waved his hand at them dismissively as he turned and started to walk away. "You're on your own now," he said. "Go."

"Good luck saving the princess!" Yachiru waved at them brightly as Kenpachi lead her away.

Talk to Each Other or Kenpachi -- 06/30

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Share words of hope, desperation, or dismay with your fellow rescuers. You may team up for this activity if you like, or go on in solo.

As far as Kenpachi goes, you might be able to catch him for any last minute questions before the adventure begins if you're quick enough.

Karal had no complaint with getting detention - he had known it would happen, after all - but he had been expecting something more traditional. Writing lines, or making endless copies of some dry text, or something similar. "This is unexpected."

Annette was just standing there, staring. She was expecting to be made to sit at a desk all day. Doodling. This is different. Strange. "Hmm."

Robin had wanted to go on the Baltimore trip, so he was depressed this morning. Still, rescuing a Princess sounded like a lot of fun.

She noticed Robin, she also noticed his sad little look, "What's wrong, Robin?"

"Aw I wanted to go to Baltimore today but instead I got detention, and I didn't even do anything."

"Aww, I'm so sorry," she said and reached out to pat his little shoulder. "I bet there will be other Baltimore trips. I didn't even know there was one today. I would have liked that myself."

"I saw some signs up in the dorms." Robin said. "On the bright side this'll make it easier to get to Teddy's party."

"Oh, are you going to Teddy's party? I am too!" She smiled.

"Uh huh! It's gonna be so much fun!"

John's previous detention had been strange, but not this strange. "We have to rescue a princess?"

Johnny stood there, hands on hips. "Well this is something."

Adam hadn't expected this would be detention, he had expected something much less... exciting? "Huh."

Rescuing a princess? Well, he would certainly try to succeed.

"Of all the shit for my first detention," Eve grumbled, giving Adam a rueful smile. "Though honestly? So surprised it took this long."

Re: Talk to Each Other or Kenpachi -- 06/30

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam offered her a small smile. "I guess it could be worse, right? We could be sitting at desks, having to be quiet for hours. At least we get to do something, right?"

Why yes, he did try to see the bright side to everything.

Re: Talk to Each Other or Kenpachi -- 06/30

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"True," she said with a begrudging nod. "And I'm not very good with the still and quiet."

Re: Talk to Each Other or Kenpachi -- 06/30

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Me either," Adam admitted, grinning. "I'd much rather be doing something, then have to sit still."

Alec was kind of looking forward to this, actually. And maybe he was a little cocky about how well he thought he'd do. Maybe.
