Detention, Danger Shop and Beyond, 8 AM till 2 PM

[chosehumanity]

"Morning," Mitchell greeted; he was starting to look less like he'd been on a bender the longer he was staying off the blood, and so this morning he actually looked fairly fit and chipper for the job. "You're all here because you've misbehaved, and the school's appointed me for your punishment. I'm Mitchell." Beat. "Don't call me professor. It makes me feel old."

He left the sign-in sheet on the desk at the front of the class.

"Today, we're putting you all to work," he said, "We've got a lot of dead alligators out there, so I hope you know how to get out some bloodstains. Then we'll come back around to the Danger Shop for lunch and you'll hear the rest of it."

Mitchell grinned at the class. "We'll have proper detention." It was possible that, for all his heartfelt dedication to the job of being human, he wasn't, in fact, all that good at it.

"Oh, and let me know if you're squeamish."

Mitchell used to clean at a hospital. He had different ideas about disgusting.

"No things under your nails? No hoses?" Beat. "Fiona over there can't eat."

Go ahead, share all the gossip, Mitchell.

"Well, right now I'm sure there's probably stuff under my nails, I was cleaning up alligator parts," Jaina said. "I've been here two years, I think most of my weird stuff is common knowledge by now."

"I just arrived here," he told her, "I'm a clean slate. You can tell me anything and I'll believe it." Beat. "Most likely."

She really didn't want to go through the stuff she normally did with people. The family stuff, the Jedi thing, the military stuff, that all came out in due time. "I spent most of last summer doing pretty much this, except with less cleaning and more hauling dead animals," she said. It was kind of on her mind today for some reason.

"Get your hands dirty?" he prompted.

"Not literally. The animals were extremely toxic and we had to wear environmental suits just to deal with them." Actually, come to think of it, that did seem a little disturbing to her now.
