Detention [Saturday, November 21]

"Move! MOVE MOVE MOVE!!!" Max waved his Luger at the detainees, trying to push them out of the rickshaw, into the school, and in through the door of the Danger Room. "Step to it! Don't make me get violent!" He fired into the ceiling a few times. "No, you know what, MAKE me get violent!!!"

"I don't think anybody has to make you get violent, little buddy," Sam said cheerfully. "Hello, boys and girls! And welcome to Gun Safety. Today we're going to be teaching you how to properly clean and store handguns, pistols, and even some old-fashioned muskets we found laying around. Does anyone here know how to pack gunpowder?"

Max, in the back of the throng, started jumping and waving his hand in the air. "Oooh! Oooh! Pick me! Pick ME!!!"

"Not now, Max," Sam said in a stage whisper. "I'm lulling them into a false sense of security, so they forget they're in Detention."

Max sighed and shook his head condescendingly. "Sam, Sam, you forget they've got two raving psychotic lunatics waving GUNS at them. They're not going to be lulled into ANYTHING." He shrugged. "...So, we should just shoot them now."

"I don't think we're supposed to kill them, Max," Sam said, scratching his temple with the end of his gun. "They can't be our future if they're filled with bullet holes. Oh, I know! You know what would be educational and fun?"

"A bathtub filled with spaghetti and the collected works of Stephen Hawking?"

"This isn't Tuesday, Max," Sam reminded his pal gently. "I was thinking we should deputize these fine boys and girls and teach them how to be Freelance Police! Give them a taste of our cases. Show them that working with the law is always better than breaking it. Although it's usually best to do both at the same time."

Wasn't this going to be exciting? It was! And it wasn't like the students had a choice about it, anyway!

Welcome to Detention, Sam and Max style.

(OOC: the post for getting arrested (if you choose to do so) is here. Detention, ahoy!)

Momoko frowned. This was a case? Or, even worse, this was a TV show? Oh, no. She was not doing this one. She had her reputation to think of! She placed one hand on her hip and raised the other in a classic talk-to-the-hand pose. "No!"

"Look. This is all wrong. I get that I'm the cute heroine, but where's my sidekick? And my mecha? And where's the handsome prince alien hero who doesn't know he's an alien because he's been raised by humans after his alien parents left him here in hiding to keep his identity secret from the evil ruler of the Galactic Council who has sent robot ninja warriors to every planet trying to find him because his superpowers are the only thing that can save the universe from destruction by the planet eating monster that is on it's way from another galaxy? I mean, really? What kind of show is this? I mean, I can't have a cow as a sidekick! That's not cute! How do you expect to get any sponsors? Or any good toy deals?"

"CUT!" the director shouted, and now? Now she was training a death glare at Momoko. "This is a hit TV show. The usual star is missing today, so we're substituting you, because no one else is here. The cow is not your sidekick. You just have to hide him from your landlord. This isn't some sci-fi series, it's a sitcom. We have plenty of sponsors. What we don't have is a star, currently, so make up some lines and stop wasting my time."

How could this be a hit show? She'd never even heard of it.

"It's a stupid plot. It's totally dumb and not at all funny." Momoko grumbled as she looked about for her mark. "What would make a great show would be a pig! They're totally cute and don't stink and it would be really funny if I dressed him in baby clothes and pretended that he was my baby whenever the manager came! We could even have an episode where I need the manager to babysit!" Right! That was an idea she could get behind! As opposed to the cow.

"You'd better not use my real name in this or I am totally suing!"

This was where the director's voice dropped a few octaves. Little flames appeared to be burning where she was supposed to have pupils.

"Do the take, or I will eat your eyes out of your skull," she intoned, darkly.

She wasn't actually evil. She just hadn't slept since the mid-90s and had absolutely no patience with temperamental actors.

The theme song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK9U6jwttTY) was starting and tape was roooooolling!

"I mean it." Momoko grumbled as she looked around the set. "It was bad enough being in that stupid drama of Himeko's." Hide the cow... Hide the cow... It was a freaking COW, how was she to hide it? She finally gave up and just started pushing it behind the couch. It was still visible.
