fandomhigh | DETENTION Saturday

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Questions, concerns, comments?

I'll be around sporadically today - I had plans to thoroughly clean my apartment this weekend as I'm having guests next weekend.

Also, Phoebe & Buffy mun had to go to the hospital last night for her migraine, so not sure if either will make it today.

[and sorry for the deleted comment, but i didn't notice the ooc thread until after i posted!]

No problem. I figured you'd either be here and quiet, or ditch and make me oh-so-very-sad. Massive participation is not required. You're here, that's fine with me. Besides, cleaning? WAY more punishment than detention!

Beka Mun and I have permission to mod Phoebe. She'll be here. :)

yeah - what if you dont understand *any* of this...

Heh...go with that. It'll make it more interesting. You've showed up, if you want to wait till other people start posting in earnest before jumping in, that's cool.

Does Jayne remember CJ from homecoming? This is going to be so very interesting today. If you want to talk to me, do it in the Chatter subthread.

uhhh, that wenrt ooc - that was me asking you, the teacher, a question..

I dont get it.. so what do ya want me to do?

Rory's in detention, too, because she missed last week's.

And Logan is a bunny, but Rory's bringing him. :)

Mun to mun, let me know if Beka ooc or ic subtexting with Logan (not when he's a bunny!) bothers you at all, K? No toe-stepping and Beka would not do anything with Logan.

No worries. I don't care, especially considering the subtexty fun Rory gets up to. :)

Oz, and Connor

teen_twin share headspace. They will be sporadic at best as I have *gasp* RL social plans tonight! It's a shock for me too, heh. But, I'll post them in and keep them active as much as I can, even though the subject matter baffles me, it's good for them!

Sounds fine to me!

I have errands and stuff to run today and promised my mom I'd stop by her place for a visit, so I may be in and out (or on from my mom's for a bit). Cally has full permission to NPC Anders when I'm not at a keyboard.

Sorry about your bad news, whatever it is. =/

*seconded*

*huggles CJ!mun*

Thanks. This actually means a lot. Thank you. It's not a secret, but if the curiosity is eating you, hit my voicemail and I'll tell you.

I don't know what your horrible news is but I'm sorry and I hope things turn out well one way or another.

On another note Jack-Mun must go to the cemetary today (For it is almost the step-sister's birthday and pictures need to be taken) and as a result won't be back for a long while. In fact, there is a chance that the Mun may not even be back until detention is over so I doubt Jack will be able to do much research and presentation though I may bug Parker-Munn and ask if she'd be willing to NPC him as landscape for the project. I'll poke here when I return.

Update: Parker-Mun agreed to run JacK for me for a while.

What kind of presenation are we doing? Pro, Con? Pro & Con? Writing critique of government employees? Alternatives? Hmm?

Whatever you want to do. The mood I'm in, I'd appreciate puppet theater or something funny...CJ is not down for scary detention. In fact, I have a feeling she's so lax on the punishment that she may not be invited to do this duty again.

The mun of Evie is also the mun of Phoebe and Buffy and is pretty ill. Please just assume that Evie was here and did everything she was supposed to? The mun is going back to have tea and lay down.

*hugs you tight and takes care of you* We've got Phoebe and Buffy covered, and if you want I'm sure one of me, Bel-mun, or V-mun can drop Evie into any threads that seem critical.

Just read the ETA -- hope things will be okay.

Thanks. I posted in my voicemail thread to Veronica if you want the dirty details. It's not nice, even kindof.
