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."

Re: Begin Your Quest...

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?"

Re: Begin Your Quest...

[ashockingbitch]

"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?"

Re: Begin Your Quest...

[ashockingbitch]

"Much better." Jenny approved.
