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.

"Me and John, at least," she shrugged. "Taking a detention was easier than pleading trauma and hey, I had a really good run in that simulator before landing in one piece, so I'm happy with it."

There was another pause to go over everything again. "So, I am getting this right that the object of the assignment was to crash, right?"

"Yes. Supposedly we were supposed to learn how to crash right, or something. Nevermind there never is a right way," she said. "And with what I fly you don't crash as much as you do blow up."

"...I'd probably be the one blowing up," Cal admitted. "I've barely even ever driven a car."

But he did know how one of those worked now.

"It's amazingly not hard to do. I've managed it," Jaina said, and paused. "The blowing up, not the car. Though I have done that, too."

"Oh, I'm not saying it's hard," Cal said, grinning slightly. "That's why I'm pretty sure I'll have no problem with it, either."

"You should go through a simulation," Jaina suggested. "Count how long you last, just for fun."

"Oh, that'll be interesting. That could entertain us for a whole...five seconds."
