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.

"That's because I'm not really trying to hit you," Belthazor said. He rolled his shouders and conjured another fireball, taking more careful aim and throwing it at Beka.

Oh good, she had just enough time to think before twisting away. Not quite fast enough to avoid getting snapped in the ass by it. It stung like a wet towel, and threw her forward into a roll.

She stood, rubbing her left hip. "Ow," she said, grinning. "I think we're ready now."

*hops out of her chair*

Whoa, Beka? You okay? *bites her lip*

Re: Presentation 2 - Working Out the Kinks

"Yeah. Fine." Beka smiled at Cally, offering reassurance. "Barely singed. Come see for yourself if you're worried."

*walks up, biting her lip*

Okay? *totally checks out Beka's ass* *looks carefully for any possible harm*

Re: Presentation 2 - Working Out the Kinks

Beka did not preen while Cally checked out her ass. She did, however, smile and lift Cally's chin with two fingers.

"See? Told you. Thanks for worrying about me, Pumpkin."

*smiles*

Hey, that's what friends, right? You need me for anything now, or should I go sit down again?

[ooc: And for the second time, i mispost. I win at life today.]

Beka ruffled Cally's hair affectionately. "I always need my best friend, but I'm thinking Anders might need you more."

A quick hug, then Beka shooed Cally off, gently swatting at her butt. "Go on with you."

*giggles* Yes, Killer. *goes back to sit with Anders*

Watching 'Pumpkin' with Beka, Buffy couldn't help remembering Phoebe's words. If I trust Beka with my life...

Seemed like Phoebe wasn't the only one. Belthazor seemed to trust her too -- but him being a demon made that not so much a good thing. The blonde girl, Veronica maybe, had been talking with her privately about something important. Even Professor Cregg had talked to her. She hadn't caught much of that, but afterward the Professor looked happy.

Maybe Beka could help her too. Buffy nodded. She'd talk to Beka. She needed the class credit.

The little display fit everything she'd heard about Beka. Strong. Fast. Tease. She seemed not to mind getting hit either. At least they had that much in common. Still...

To Phoebe, she said, "You let your boyfriend throw fireballs at another girl?"

Phoebe responded with a grin. "Better her than me."

Buffy frowned. "It doesn't bother you that they play like that?"

Phoebe smiled, shaking her head. "They're friends. Cole is faithful and if I trust Beka with my life, I can definitely trust her with Cole."
