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."

"YOU?!" More snickering and a raspberry being blown. "You are a silly English type person, Mr Arthur King! We will not give the grail to you!"

"What if I said please?" Romeo tried.

"HA!" Another raspberry and the French guard waggled his fingers at him. "You cannot win us with your stupid manners, English pig-dog! Go and boil your bottom, son of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called Arthur King! Thpppppt! Thppt! Thppt!"

"Boil my bottom," Romeo repeated, almost as amused as he was insulted. "Very well, sir, then I bite my thumb at you and at your master."

Which he proceeded to do.

There was a gasp from the French guard, and several gasps from behind the French guard. "YOU YOU SILLY ENGLISH KNIGGIT!" A chicken was thrown at Romeo. "How dare you insult my master! I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" Several ducks followed, and a sheep.

Romeo managed to dodge most of the animals -- really, who throws a sheep? -- but a few ducks smacked him, one in the head and one in the torso.

He sat down hard and glared at the Frenchman. After he scrambled to his feet, he did not run away, no matter what it may have looked like.

He was making a strategic retreat.

And tossing a few French curses picked up in 1899 Montmartre over his shoulder.
