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

[idontlooktired.livejournal.com]

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."

A stroll through the woods

[idontlooktired.livejournal.com]

And lovely woods they are, too, all green and vibrant, with a charming path. Well, charming except for a terrible battle blocking your way.

A knight in black battles a knight in green, only to triumph in the bloody defeat of the green knight, (quite obviously fake) blood fountaining out of him as he collapses to the ground.

Now the black knight stands, sword braced on the ground, blocking your path.

Romeo wasn't sure what to make of this, especially the spurting fake blood. "Good morrow, sir," he ventured. Perhaps politeness would let him pass.

The Black Knight ignored him, staring stolidly into the distance. Well, his eyes couldn't be seen, but his helmet was pointing forward, so it was a good bet that's where he was looking.

"Good morrow?" Romeo tried again, stepping closer to the knight's field of vision. "Have you word of a Grail in these parts?"

"None shall pass," the Black Knight intoned stolidly.

Jenny stopped a fair distance from the black knight and said, "Good morning! That looked rather painful, didn't it? Are you all right?"

"Right then," Jenny said--and ducked into the woods by the side of the road, the better to go around the Black Knight.

A good bit of crashing and phrases such as "Bloody ow!" could then be heard.

The knight didn't move, because he knew the forest was impenetrable.

Also, the things living in it might eat her, which would save him the bother of fighting.

Sokka drew his sword and ran to the green knight's side. "Are you all right?!?!?"

Re: A stroll through the woods

[idontlooktired.livejournal.com]

The Green Knight said nothing in response, for he appeared to be dead. Or a fantastic actor. The Black knight paid no attention, staring into the distance with his hands resting on his sword.

Now it was time for Sokka to glare at the Black Knight and stomp closer to him. "PLEASE tell me he was a bad guy?"

Re: A stroll through the woods

"None shall pass." Which was not, precisely, an answer to the question, but he sounded very firm on the subject.

Uh. Would you look at that. Amber cocked her head, mouth open slightly but she wasn't sure whether to be amused at the fake blood or be sickened by it.

"Hi," she said. "Battle well fought. Icky, but well fought."

"Yah, okay then," Amber pursed her lips into a semi-forced smile and tried to ease past him.

The Knight moved to block her, sword raised. "None shall pass."

Jaina's immediate reaction was to go to the green knight, but her brain caught up with her to remind her that this was a simulation, and she could probably take the black knight. "Excuse me," she told him, hoping he'd just let her pass.

"Excuse me," she said again, a little louder in case the helmet obstructed his hearing. "I'd like to get through... please."

[idontlooktired.livejournal.com]

His hearing was fine; his thinking might be questionable. "None shall pass."

Ronan eyed the fake fountain of blood, unable to determine if this were a spectacle staged for his benefit, or some other purpose. "Dai stihó," he called to the black-clad knight, even as his hand strayed toward the hilt of his sword. "Might I pass through?"

[Sorry for pinging in to this so late in the day! I ended up not being able to sleep until 9:30 this morning, so I've, ah, unexpectedly slept through most of the day. ^^;;; ]

"None shall pass," the Black Knight intoned stolidly.

[ooc: sooo not a worry!]

Re: A stroll through the woods

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan sighed. "I rather thought you might say that," he said resignedly. "Must I battle you to pass?"

Re: A stroll through the woods

[idontlooktired.livejournal.com]

He raised his sword, flashing it in the air between them. "NONE shall pass."
