When the students arrived in the Danger Shop, they found the room decorated as an incredibly soulless phone center.

"Welcome to the help desk!" Josh said, grinning proudly. "People are very stupid over the phone, especially when they know you can't see the expression on their faces. This is also why video conferences aren't as popular as regular conference calls--hiding your eyerolling is easier when, well, they can't see your eyes."

He waved his hands out. "Today you will be manning a help desk. I have ~~handwavily~~ put out posters to let people know that it's open during this class time, so the phones should start ringing any minute now. Your job is to answer the person's question in the most polite way possible without letting them know you think they are completely out of their minds."

"Coffee, muffins and bagels are available, answering their questions correctly is completely optional." Josh smirked. "Have fun."

[OOC: Phone lines are open for townies, students, and faculty members to call in. Josh has conveniently forgotten to specify what kind of help the students would offer. Ask for relationship advice, song requests, technical support, people to vote for or against bills in Congress, just to say hi...go nuts.]

"But that's not what I need help with," Dawn pointed out. "Shouldn't you wait until I tell you what's wrong before you offer helpful suggestions?"

"Okay. HOW did the foot get IN the blender?"

Dawn rolled her eyes. "I put it there. But that's still not why I'm calling."

"Well why can't you take it out the same way you put it in?"

"The peanut butter and honey made this kind of a paste..."

"And you thought your foot would add some flavor to it?"

"My feet are very flavorful. Can we go back to the peanut butter problem? Because I wanted to the pineapple, but it's starting to harden and I don't want to spend the rest of the day like this."

"Well where are you sitting right now? Can you get to a sink?"

"Not without stepping on a dog, the snail, and possibly bumping into a cockatiel." Sadly, this was the animal kingdom part of her room these days. "Not to mention a lot of hopping."

"Well you need to find something to dilute the paste stuff in the blender," Mel suggested. "Got anything handy?"

"Uh...I think I should probably save the holy water for something it's intended for, right?"

"What? You can't get more of that stuff?"

"Last time I got some was from Sister Rosette of the Lollipops, so I don't know if there's anyone there to get more from," Dawn pointed out.

"Lollipops? Are you messing with my head, Summers?"

"What? Her name was Sister Rosette and she liked lollipops."
