Detention [Saturday, 08/04]

[scrabblecyborg.livejournal.com]

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."

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

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.

"That might give me a hunchback," Jim said. "I'll inconvenience everyone else instead."

"You sure? Girls love the hunchback," Faye assured him.

"What about guys? I could be gay for all you know," Jim said.

"I'm not feeling the gay vibe, but if you are, then yeah, guys love the hunchback even more."

Re: Activity 1: Get Coffee from Faye

"So it's conditional? If I'm not gay, guys hate the hunchback?" Jim asked. "I think you're messing with me."

"I didn't say that," Faye replied, momentarily thrown off her game. "It applies either way."

"I'm sorry, but your trustworthiness has gone right out the window," Jim said.

"Shut up and take your coffee," Faye grumbled, handing it over.

Jim took the coffee. "How can I trust that it's actually coffee when I can't trust you at all?"

He was working the fake tears.
