Detention [Saturday]

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

All of the students who'd earned or been given detention had been told to meet Fraser outside of the Danger Shop. And that's precisely where he was.

"Good morning," he said pleasantly. "I trust you all slept well and I thank you for being on time. Please enter the Danger Shop."



It is now seven-oh-six. You have exactly eight hours and fifty-four minutes four hours and fifty four minutes to think about why you're here. To ponder the error of your ways and you may not talk. You will not move from these seats and you will not sleep.

"Before you begin your detention," Fraser said, looking down at them, "I would like to hope that we never meet again in this circumstance. I once met an Inuit elder who said that, those who get into trouble once learn from their mistakes. Those who get into trouble twice obviously have hard heads and deserve whatever trouble comes at them next."

He smiled and then gathered up each person's snacks before shooing them into the Danger Shop library.

"In that case, I'll take it as a credit from the school for when I decide to do something really stupid or really cool."

"Such a beautiful sentiment. Done anything stupid or cool in the past?" John asked, wondering if there was possible prank assistance here.

"Not since I got here," Friday admitted. "I'm a bit out of practice, actually. You here from the lottery or something stupid or cool?"

"I would say cool if we're using cool as smart," John told him. "Teacher might disagree there just a little."

"They usually do or detention wouldn't exist. Actually, no, even with that I don't understand why detention exists. They waste our time, but it doesn't really stop anyone from doing what they want to do."

"Someone should point that out to the Mountie," John mused.

"Or, you know, we could in our own special way."

"Sounds like you have something in mind, or will with enough moral support. Go on then. I'm game."

"Nothing in particular," John replied. "Just testing the waters here."

Friday shrugged and leaned back in his chair. "We'll see how boring this gets, yeah?"

"Exactly," John agreed, kicking his feet up on his table. "I give it, oh, twenty minutes."

"Fifteen if we're lucky."
