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.

Ching Tai has delivered. Come get some and have a nice break. Outsiders may come say Hi in THIS THREAD ONLY.

"Thank *god* they don't require us to eat cafeteria food in Detention. That'd be right up there with getting injected with gremlin spit."

"I have managed to successfully avoid the cafeteria thus far and will gladly continue to do to," Veronica says, filling a plate.

[teen-twin.livejournal.com]

"Me too," Connor agrees, loading up a plate for himself. He's hungry.

Comes in quietly and drops a quick kiss on Parker's forehead. "How's it going?" He glances over at Professor Cregg. "Don't know how long she'll let us stay, so I wanted to come say hi and see if you want to meet me after detention. You know where to find me."

Parker leans up and smiles brightly at him when he kisses her. "Not too bad. Boring as hell; she's got us reading *budget reports*." She catches his hand, swings it, and says, "Definitely. Oh, definitely."

"Budget reports? Fate worse than death." Michael smiles at her. "Gremlin spit might have been kinder."

[OOC: Sounds good. Want to do the whole "Surprise" dinner in her room thing?]

"Or at least have more dancing and singing to it," Parker says. "See you as soon as I'm done?"

Oz isn't overly hungry, he doesn't eat much as a general rule. But he grabs a plate, because it's there and it isn' cafeteria food.

"Chinese. Cool." It's not pizza, but the second major food group at Daniel's place was always Chinese food, so Jack's good with it not being barbeque. That would've been too much to expect.

Geoff taps on the door of the detention classroom. This being his first official foray into the school as a faculty member, he's been looking for a familiar face. He smiles at CJ around the door.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Professor Chaucer...come in! [She smiles brightly and is carrying a bunny, petting it gently]

(frozen comment) Re: LUNCH

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Geoff rolls his eyes at the 'Professor Chaucer' bit and walks over to CJ, eyeing the rabbit.

"Please tell me that's not the Doctor."

(frozen comment) Re: LUNCH

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

No, no, no. This is Logan Echolls. He's gone and been bunnified. Isn't he just the sweetest little bunny wunny ever? [Strokes his ears and then rubs his toes with her thumb]

(frozen comment) Re: LUNCH

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Grinning, Geoff scratches the rabbits head and says, "Good to see you again, Logan." He turns to CJ and adds, "We met at Rory's party. I didn't realize it was him, and I was starting to worry."

*comes over and somehow manages to fill a plate of food with the hand that isn't holding Cally's hand*

(frozen comment) Re: LUNCH

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

*does likewise, with the hand that isn't holdin Anders'*

This is so much better than last week. I still can't believe she just ate that cookie in front of me like that.

(frozen comment) Re: LUNCH

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

That was so mean, and you weren't even supposed to be there.

*looks down and blinks*

Um . . . how are we gonna hold our forks?

(frozen comment) Re: LUNCH

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

*reaches over with her hand that is still holding Anders', and hooks in a fork with her finger, and slides it between their hands*

Group effort? *grin*

(frozen comment) Re: LUNCH

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Group effort. *nods and grins* Nice work, o brains of the operation.

*leads the way back to the table, and offers Cally a forkful of chow mein*

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor peered suspiciously at the food. "What's this?"

"Chinese food, baby," Phoebe said, filling her plate. "You've never had it before?"

"They don't usually deliver to the Underworld," Belthazor said.

"Try some," Phoebe said. "You'll like it."

Belthazor continued to regard the food with skepticism. "I don't know...."

"Don't tell me the big bad demon is afraid of something new," Phoebe teased, laughing.

He made a face at her and, picking one of the entrees, started to spoon some on to his plate.

Beka arrived at the lunch table just in time to hear Phoebe call Bel 'baby'. For some reason, that was the funniest thing she'd heard in a long while. Funnier even than Logan being a bunny, though that was close. "Baby?" She somehow managed to sound incredulous without bursting out laughing.

"Go Pheebs." Beka winked at Phoebe, then glanced at Bel. That'll teach you to hit me when I can't hit you back.

She saw Buffy, hanging back a bit, and pulled up a chair. "Hey. Come sit with us if you want. We don't bite." She smirked at Bel. "Isn't that right, baby?"

(frozen comment) Re: LUNCH

[demonbelthazor]

"You are just asking for it, aren't you?" Belthazor muttered, his tone making it clear that Beka would pay for her comments later.

"Hey," he greeted Buffy, looking her over. So this was Angelus' ex.

(frozen comment) Re: LUNCH

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka laughed, then pulled a pout. "I've been asking for it all along. C'mon, grow a sense of humor. I'm playing with you."

When she saw his attention on Buffy, she shot him a hard warning look.

(frozen comment) Re: LUNCH

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

"Hey. I'm Buffy," she said awkwardly. She couldn't exactly say 'Normally I'd be thinking about killing you right now.'

Beka's regard made her uncomfortable. Not scared. Not bad. Just...strange. She shrugged, and took the seat Beka'd pulled out for her. "Alright. Thanks."
