Detention [Saturday, 08/04]

Hannelore had stayed up all night planning detention, though students might not have realized upon entering the Danger Shop, as it was as sparse as she kept it for most of her workshops.

She'd written on a whiteboard:

Zack Addy
Dick Casablancas
Jim Halpert
Henry Jekyll

and paced while she waited for students to file in. "So, since detention is, you know, a bad thing, you guys get to deal with some of the things I hate like burning, and one of the things I love to soften the blow. It should be fun. I'm here if you need anything, and so is Winslow. You might need him, believe it or not. So...have fun, guys."

[OCD is coming. up!

ETA: I'm going to take a nap and run a few errands. Will pick up pings later!]

Activity 1: Get Coffee from Faye

The Danger Shop had transformed into a fairly typical-looking coffee shop, though students might notice that the specials board was...eccentric (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=371#).

Behind the counter, there was a curvy brunette with a scowl. Behind her were two women with black hair and a bespectacled blonde, but it seemed that the brunette girl was manning the register and taking orders. She looked happy as can be to be there, really.

Jim had a headache for some reason that probably involved last night coffee would actually be a good idea.

"Hi. I'll just have a regular coffee, black." He was a simple guy with simple food and drink orders.

"How creative of you," Faye replied. "Let's review. Black coffee would mean no milk and no sugar, which you'd put in yourself anyway, so thanks for specifying that, though you do get points for not trying some Starbucks crap on me."

She went to get the coffee pot. "So are you from some special planet where when people eat their vegetables they grow like ups but just don't stop?" she wondered. "Or are you just freakishly tall for a human?"

"I'm just tall and why does everyone call me freakishly tall? I know people who are taller than me," Jim asked. "I'm well within acceptable heights. I don't hit my head on doorways or anything."

"I have to crane my neck to see you. You're freakishly tall," Faye replied.

"It's better chiropractically if you just carry a stepladder everywhere," Jim said.

"Or if you just bend over so normal people can talk to you," she said.

"Black coffee, thanks," Zack said.

"It'll stunt your growth," Faye replied immediately. "You sure you don't want to just take some milk with you back to the seventh grade?"

"I'm a senior," Zack said. "And there's no scientific evidence of caffeine stunting growth."

"Senior in what?" Faye repeated. "And there's plenty of stuff that doesn't have scientific backing but that doesn't mean it's not true."

"High school," Zack replied. "But there have been tests when it comes to caffeine."

Re: Activity 1: Get Coffee from Faye

"And you performed these tests and know the results are a hundred percent accurate?"

"Uh, just a coffee with sugar." he said. Cream was for wussies.

"So, where d'you get your highlights done?" Faye asked, getting the coffee.

"Highlights? This is all me, baby." said Dick, flippin his hair a little.

Faye looked bemused. "Shouldn't you be with your friends Sabrina and Kelly and call yourself Jill to try a move like that?"

"I like to think I'm good looking enough to get away with the hair flip." he said. Besides, if he had to choose a girl's name it would totally be Daphne.

"Huh, you're not all that bright either, then," Faye remarked. "Oh for two, blondie."

Henry saw the "Tea of Doom," but figured that it had to be better than coffee, at least. He walked meekly up to the counter, avoiding the woman's eyes. "Tea, if you please."

"Awww, you look scared. Are you scared?" Faye asked, all false sympathy.

Henry frowned. Just because he was being punished didn't mean that he had to be patronized. His next response might have been a bit snappish. "I requested tea. You may serve it with lemon, and without sarcasm."

Faye raised an eyebrow. "I wasn't being sarcastic. I was being obnoxiously patronizing," she replied. "Learn the difference."

"Yet your tone of voice was inferring the opposite of the literal message. You're merely classifying what kind of sarcasm you were using." Henry tapped his foot. "Just because one does not use the blatantly sarcastic tone of voice does not mean that it is not dryer irony."

"You're angling for a lot more than tea here, bud," Faye replied, her expression going darker before the woman with the shortest hair behind her popped an elbow at her ribs and shot her a warning look.

"No beating on the customers, Faye," she said, shaking her head.

"I -- fine. Take your tea." Faye unceremoniously slid a cup over, replete with a slice of lemon.
