DETENTION Saturday

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

ETA: Mun jst got horrible news and will be AFK for a bit. I'm sure you can tell this is a pretty loose detention. Just don't blow anything up. I'll be back later to release you. I'm back. Play this funny for me, ok? I need cheered up.

Visitors are welcome during LUNCH only.


The Danger Room has been programmed to resemble the press briefing room at the White House. On each chair is the student's name on an etched brass plaque. Make sure you only sit in the chair with your name on it.

At the ends of each rows are thick folders rubber banded to a large stack of books. Behind the lectern is a white pull down screen covering the seal of the United States of America.

CJ stands at the lectern, wearing her glasses. She looks up as the students enter the room and checks their name off the list.

Honor System, Gang. If YOU know you have detention, please serve it. Not all the teachers submitted information, or else there were late additions. Thanks.

Ok. It's Saturday. It's detention. I'm supposed to mention about your wicked, wicked ways...yeah, not going to do that. Work harder. Quit screwing around. In some misguided attempt to keep you all sane and alive I signed up for this gig, so let's make the best of a bad situation, and make CJ happy, ok? [She smiles]

All right gang, this is going to be as painless or as painful as you choose for it to be. I want you in groups of not more than four. You each have a different stack of information. These are reports that are sent to the government so we can decide what to give money to. We had an intern, Winnie, and she's read them all and briefed me on them.

Your detention, since most of you are here for not doing your homework, is to consolidate the information, come up with a coherant presentation, and then get up here and present your findings to the rest of us. If you do it well, single moms and garbagemen get to keep on making a living. If not, you damage the environment, poison the masses, and generally create hell on Earth and destroy our noble Democracy as we know it.

But first, we're going to watch a couple films to help orient you to politics as I know and love them.

[Walks to the back, flips off the lights, and starts an old fashioned reel projector. Footage of the Kennedy-Nixon debates flashes on the screen at the front of the room and the lights dim so they can watch.]

I will post sub threads for different detention activities through the day.

Veronica signs in, sits in her assigned chair and watches the film.

Belthazor came in with his Bright One Phoebe. He didn't see his name, but shrugged and signed in anyway.

Rory sighs, settling into a seat and setting Logan-the-bunny on the desk in front of her.

He looks annoyed.

[CJ comes over] Rory, I'm sorry, hon, but you can't have your pet in here. Did you get it for your birthday?

[Picks the bunny up and snuggles him]

"No, Professor Cregg...um, this is my boyfriend, Logan Echolls. He's on the list, I believe? And he got turned into a bunny yesterday. We don't know how," she adds, shrugging helplessly.

Logan seems to enjoy the attention, and it could almost be said that he's snuggling CJ back.

Connor signs in, very sleepy, and settles to watch the movie.

Oz signs in and scratches his head. He sits to watch the movie, and hopes he can stay awake.

Beka signed in and settled in to watch debates about people she'd never heard of and couldn't care less about. Talking to Buffy, convincing her she's not going to hurt her and that this assignment will be OK were foremost in her thoughts.

She smiled at CJ, though, grateful it was she and not - she shuddered - Drusilla again.

[Smiles at Beka, and snuggles bunny!Logan]

Re: Watch The Film

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

So would snuggle Logan if he wasn't Rory's. Beka inclined her head to Buffy to make sure CJ knew she was here and that she was under Beka's protection, slave or no.

Re: Watch The Film

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Buffy was not happy. Detention meant no patrolling. It also meant a day spent with Beka. And apparently everyone knew she was supposed to be the girl's slave. Noting Beka already here, she made a face, and sat where she could eavesdrop on her conversation.

Re: Watch The Film

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Buffy's guarded expression showed Beka everything Tara had told her about the girl and so much more. The more she watched her, the more she hoped Buffy would take the assignment. Deliberately, slowly, she raised her head from her notes to catch Buffy's eyes. No guile, no pretense, an honest look that invited Buffy to take her measure.

Beka grinned at Cally. "Looks like we can't get in trouble for being nice to each other this time. You have a good time on your date?"

Re: Watch The Film

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

It was great. We had a whole lot of fun, and got some other stuff worked out. *smiles*

Parker's in her Detention Dior - black and basic - and looking bored out of her mind. She keeps blnking herself away during the film.

Re: Watch The Film

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders notices Parker and stops blocking the corners off the screen with his fingers long enough to wave over at her.

Re: Watch The Film

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker throws him a nonchalant wave, and wishes someone had brought snacks. Lord, Nixon was weird.

Re: Watch The Film

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory waves slightly at Parker, and mouths, "Want to work together?"

Re: Watch The Film

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Jack signs in and takes a seat to watch the film.

Re: Watch The Film

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Seeing Jack, Beka felt a warm smile creep over her. She gave a small wave, more of a waggle of her fingers, but stayed with Phoebe and Bel...and Buffy.

Evelyn, still confused as to how this happened, signed in for detention and watched the film---and had no idea who these men were.



[[OOC: Please have pity on Evie as the mun is still very ill from her migraine. I gave people modding rights for Phoebe and Buffy, but completely forgot poor Evie had detention too. Please assume that she does everything CJ tells her to do so she doesn't get more detention. She's scared to death that detention is going to impact her ability to be hired by the Bainbridge Scholars after graduation. The mun is going back to bed.]]
