Detention [5.04.08] - Saturday 800 to 1300 (the Danger Shop)

Harriet was looking suspiciously bright-eyed this morning as the detention-goers arrived. "Good morning. Today you're going to experience a little taste of Britain's ancient past. Possibly her imaginary past, but never mind. Today, each one of you is going to be Arthur, King of the Britons, and venture forth on a sacred quest for the Holy Grail."

She smiled at each of them in turn, looking far too amused. "It might not go quite as you expect it to," she added, then shooed them off. "Just go through that door to change into appropriate costume. Oh, and those of you with powers of any kind are not to use them. You are to approach this exercise as if you were an ordinary, non-magical, non-mutant, non-gifted human being. Arthur began his quest with only the blessing of God and strength of arms. You are to do the same."

...by garbing yourself in the proper attire. There are a large number of identical costumes (http://arago4.tnw.utwente.nl/stonedead/movies/holy-grail/thumbnails/03-we-are-all-britons.jpg) available, in all different sizes. Get dressed and help yourself to a shiny crown, sword and shield and don your chainmail and tunic.

[ooc: Feel free to interact with each other in this thread, the rest will be individual quests.]

Romeo blinked a little at the costumes. Well. This is familiar, he thought, then pulled on the tunic and chainmail.

He liked the sword. The crown he could do without.

Sokka glared at Romeo and mouthed "pudding" at him soundlessly.

Being the exceedingly mature creature he was, Romeo promptly bit his thumb at Sokka.

Sokka looked at him in complete confusion. "Did you bite your thumb at me, sir?"

Romeo reflected that the rules of detention might not be on his side if he said aye.

"I do bite my thumb, sir," he replied, voice deliberately airy.

[OOC: hahahaha]

Sokka was still staring. "Okay, but... why???"

He raised an eyebrow. "If that's supposed to be some sort of insult, it doesn't work unless I know what it means."

[OOC: :D Today is a detention FULL of quotes!]

Romeo elaborately rolled his eyes before addressing Sokka in the most condescending tone he could manage.

He grew up with servants. The boy could get pretty condescending.

"If you're too dull to take my meaning, that's scarcely my fault. I don't ask you why you wear your hair like that."

"I'm from another WORLD and another CULTURE, so I've never had anyone bite their THUMB at me, NO," Sokka replied, even more condescendingly. "And you do NOT insult the hair!!! Especially not someone with funny flippy hair like yours!"

Romeo glared. Hard. "I am from a different culture as well," he said, and he wasn't yelling; he was deadly quiet. "Do you need me to act like any TV-addled idiot here for you to understand me? I will, then: The thumb biting means much the same as this."

And here he gave a classic extended middle finger.

Withdrawing it to brush his hair back, he tossed off, "There is nothing wrong with my hair, though your opinion of it matters less to me than mine of yours seems to matter to you."

"Well, that's just RUDE," Sokka replied, returning the gesture.

"So is mouthing 'pudding' at me when I've made it more than clear I don't want to talk about that," Romeo pointed out.

"It was rude?"

Sokka... actually looked concerned. "I was only trying to be annoying."

"Of course it was rude," Romeo said, his wall dropping slightly, even though he still looked as though he was trying to ascertain if Sokka was stupid. "I don't punch people just for annoying me."

Jenny grumbled to herself as she got into her costumery. Once she had her tunic and chainmail on, she shimmied out of her Union Jack t-shirt under the tunic and put it back on over the tunic. If she was going to be representing for England she was going to be representing for England right proper. Even if they didn't have the Union Jack back then.

Then she plunked a crown on her head at a rakish angle and asked, "How do I look?"

"Very British," Romeo obliged. "What about me?"

Jenny raked him up and down with a critical eye before deciding, "You'll do. Where's your crown?"

Romeo gestured vaguely at the table where he can left it. "They don't seem practical, if we'll be fighting with swords," he said. Not that he had the slightest clue how to swordfight, but whatever.

"Do you think I have to wear it?"

"No clue," Jenny admitted, "but you're supposed to be king of the Britons, so..."

"So a crown is called for," Romeo had to admit.

He balanced the unfamiliar weight on his head, taking a moment to fuss over how his hair would fit under it. "Better?"

"Much better." Jenny approved.

Amber got herself fitted in chainmail and tunic, grabbed a sword (how cool!), and positioned a shiny crown upon her head.

She was certainly ready even though she was still curious as to why she had detention in the first place.

Sokka proudly dressed in chainmail and crown, and donned his swordbelt, but raised an eyebrow at the tunic. "Do you have any with other designs on them?"

The sun was such a Fire Nation symbol.

Jaina raised an eyebrow at the costumes, but she'd probably worn worse to fit in somewhere. She would have much rather just held the crown, though.

Ronan was much more comfortable with the sword than any other aspect of the outfit; his armor tended more to the leather jacket variety than the chainmail and tunic, after all, and the crown was completely unfamiliar.

But the sun symbol reminded him of Roshaun, and that couldn't help but make him smile. If a bit sadly.
