Detention [Saturday, November 8th]

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Hello, kiddies," Robin said with a small smile. Today, detention was meeting in the Danger Shop, which was equipped with three bathtubs with attached hoses to start.

Robin, for her part, was surrounded by five dogs and holding a puppy. "Today, you're going to have a fun detention. Unless you're allergic to dogs or something. But whatever. Today, you get to take care of two dogs each. I'll assign them to you, so don't worry about picking out who gets the cutest or whatever; they're all adorable, and they all are very, very well-behaved."

And as each student came in, she crossed off names on the board, too:

Toby Moriatis
Cal Stephanides
Naomi Wildman

[I'm going out to lunch with my folks, and I'll be back around one, so you'll get your puppies then! ETA: now with a more extensive OOC note.]

"Yeah, this is me normally," she said, grinning. "Memorize what I look like now because I'll probably be a plant or something next time you see me."

Robin was a lot hotter than Cal would have anticipated; it was an idle notation in his brain, along with the slight sadness over the death of the theory that he'd never really know what she really looked like.

She was still a crazy dog lady, though.

"Most likely," he agreed with a faint grin before kneeling down, patting his knee to get the attention of one or two of the dogs. "C'mere, boys," he said, then looked up toward Robin with uncertainty. "They are boys, right?"

"They all are," she said, urging the Dalmatian and the wee little puppy over to Cal. "This is Sprinkles, and this is Popcorn. Popcorn's the baby of the group, but otherwise, no special instructions. Ever dealt with dogs before?"

The name Sprinkles was close enough to Sparkles to make him detest that one a little, but he held out both his hands for the dogs to sniff. "Not really," he admitted. "Never really had many pets growing up, unless you count my yia yia's dead silkworms and her gazillion birds, one of which is even still alive."

"Ew," Robin said helpfully and sensitively. "Well, they're both good boys, and shouldn't give you any trouble."

Popcorn bounced forward and eagerly sniffed at Cal's hand before attempting to lick it, while Sprinkles sort of eyed him warily as he sniffed the offered hand.

Awww. Well, at least Cal could see where Popcorn got his name. He grinned a little, unable to help it, as the little guy licked his hand, and then gave Sprinkles a rueful look, as if to communicate to the dog that, yeah, he didn't want to be here, either, so they'd best just better buck up and deal.

"Good to know. So what do you want us to do with them?"

"Weeeell, you get to give them baths, even though they're clean, because this is detention so doing the unfun is kind of inevitable," Robin said, ticking things off on her fingers. "And then you get to take them for a walk and play with them, and I'm going to supervise and make sure you're all doing it right."

Popcorn, for his part, bounced a bit more and yipped, because he understood words like 'walk' and 'play.'

So did Sprinkles, which was why he actually sat down and rest his head on his paws.

Cal considered the two very clearly different dogs carefully, hating how he kind of wanted to just cuddle the puppy, while he struggled to just maintain the more apathetic veneer of the dalmatian.

"Easy enough," Cal mused, truly only setting himself up for tears.
