fandomhigh | Detention (10-15-05)

Drusilla waits in the room for this week's students with detention. Eyeless porcelain dolls in various states of disrepair are scattered throughout the room. On the cracked blackboard is written the names of the students with detention this weekend. A slide projector sits in the room and off to the side a screen has been set up.

Anders
Carrie Bradshaw
Londo Mollari
Jayne Cobb
Buffy Summers
Roy Mustang
Beka Valentine
~~Rory Gilmore~~
Logan Echolls
Jake Gavin
Lilly Kane

Drusilla paces at the front of the classroom, waiting for everyone to arrive.

ETA: OOC: Dru isn't letting anyone out until everyone who isn't skipping out on detention says what they've done wrong. This means, Jayne and Buffy, that you guys should at least reply once. Come on, everyone else is playing along. Your characters are stuck here; let's try and make it fun for the players, at least.

Also ETA: OOC: If Buffy hasn't responded by midnight, Dru lets everyone go. Presume your entire Saturday is completely shot.

OOC: I'm willing to roleplay my way through detention if you are... However, it has to be slowly, as RL leaves me with an infant to deal with all day.

Beka looked mildly alarmed. "They intended a joke. Rory loves..." She shook her head. "I played along and I shouldn't have. Stupid."

"He started it!" Jake said, exclaimed, waving his hand. He paused. "Althought, of course, I was still wrong. Bad me. But he started it by making out with Alex!"

"And is Alex your boyfriend?" asked Drusilla. "Or your girlfriend?" She nodded. "Revenge is a very powerful motivation."

Jake blinked. "Uh. Boyfriend." He eyed the professor a little oddly. "I guess it is. I mean, how was I supposed to know psycho-boy would go psycho? He never sounds like this when he tells me to buy more peanut butter!"

"Peanut butter very rarely causes psychotic breaks," says Drusilla, laughing. "Silly boy. Now then. Tell me how you thought to start this kiss with little Miss Rory?"

Logan's eyes flicker towards Jake and narrow ever-so-slightly.

Jake blinked. He'd thought Spider was the craziest teacher they had. Seemed like he'd been wrong about that. "Uh, it made sense at the time? You know, don't get mad, get even? So since Logan kissed a boy, Rory should kiss a girl. ...I can be a girl. I'm not one now," he clarified, just in case.

"So you talked the little girlfriend into going along with the plan? Did you tell her why you did it? Did she know you wanted to hurt Logan?"

Drusilla tilted her head, curious. "You're very much a boy now. Miss Edith can't see, but I can."

Jake glanced quickly over at Logan, a little surprised. "I wasn't trying to hurt him."

She stared at him flatly. "What did you think you were going to do?" she asked.

Beka shot Jake a 'pipe down' look. "That happened at a party," she said smoothly. "There was ~~drinking~~ merriment. If we had been at a party, it might've just been funny."

"Because you wouldn't have been caught," says Drusilla. "Do you think everything's all right when you're not caught out at your mean little tricks?"

Beka's hands tensed, but she forced herself to let go of pointless frustration. "Not getting caught is a survival skill, not a justification." With a nod to Logan and Jake and thoughts of absent Rory, Krycek and Lily, she continued, "Being at a party, playing Truth or Dare, would've given Logan context, and choices."

Drusilla shook her head sadly. "Shame, shame," she said. "Trying to excuse away not wanting to be caught. Trying to make everything better by telling them you didn't mean to hurt them, when really you're just mad you got caught."

"Really," purred Drusilla, leaning forward, her eyes glinting hard in the light. "So it's all right to try to hurt someone if you make it into a game? You don't sound very sorry at all."

(OOC: OK to have this be when the curtain gets closed?)

OOC: Check with Jerusalem, as he's the one who closed the curtain. Dru had no say over it at all.

OOC: *nod* I'm just going to respond as though she didn't see them, and ignore the question all together. It doesn't matter a lot, I just wanted clear continuity.

OOC: The viewing area was open, and another student saw them, but that student was expecting them. Check with Bel and Angelus then; I don't want to make a call for their characters without their consent.

Beka studied Drusilla, trying to figure out where this was going. Doesn't matter, Valentine. You're the mouse. She's the cat. Best you can do is provide good sport.

Beka spread her hands. "Rumor has it you read minds. If so, then you know what I'm thinking. Maybe better than I do. You say I'm mad for getting caught. I probably am."

Then she smiled a little and her voice dropped. "As for the other, that depends on the game. And the players."

Drusilla pointed at a desk. "Go and sit," she said. "We needn't play dress-up any more."

[ooc: Dropping in to say that I currently adore you for (possibly unintentionally) helping out with Rory's latest subplot of whether she's going to admit she loves him or not. Whee!]

[ooc: Yeah, I wasn't sure if you knew about that - if you did, then you are *very* observant, since it's been alluded to twice that I can think of. But yeah...she hasn't quite admitted it to herself yet, because of past hurts, etc. So this causes no problems whatsoever, and actually helps out nicely. :)]
