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."

"What is your name?"

Seriously. "Jaina Solo."

The old man started cackling and capering and dancing around. "Ahahahahahahahahah no, no, no you're Arthur King of the Britons!" He made a complicated gesture, that was just this side of obscene. "Or you were! Now you are a...NEWT!"

And there was a humming and a strange popping noise as the weird old man cast magic missile Newt at her.

And Jaina was a newt.

Because she's answered the question "What's your name?" wrong.

She hated everything. Newtily.

The old man crouched near her and whispered out of the corner of his mouth, sounding surprisingly sane and normal. "Just go on through that door." He pointed at the newt-sized door that had just opened in a rock. "You'll be yourself again, and you can have a snack before you go home."

She wanted to tell him not to patronize her, but couldn't, due to not having the right vocal cords, nor the ability to manage a decent eyeroll in this state. Instead, she made her way towards the door, trying to figure out how to walk on four legs and deciding she was never telling John about this.
