Detention: Saturday, January 14, 2006

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita happily pointed her wand at the board, making a list of names appear.

Han Solo
Pippi Longstocking
Pip Bernadette
Quinn Morgendorffer
John Sheppard
Lana Lang
Maia Rutledge
James Ford
Barbossa

“Students are expected to sign in,” Rita said. As soon as Quinn and Barbossa took their seats, Rita set a pile of writing materials on the former’s desk, and nine pairs of dragonhide gloves, as well as nine tiny nets, on latter’s.
 
“Boys and girls, it seems you’ve been naughty this week,” Rita said disapprovingly, addressing the whole class. “So until midnight tonight, you’re all going to be staying here. And you’ll be doing punishments to fit the crimes and according to my whims, really. And since there are only two students in here who seemingly did not cause mischief to ear this detention - Mr. Barbossa and Ms. Morgendorffer - they will be my Special Helpers for the day. That means, Special Helpers - if you see someone misbehaving, let me know immediately.”

1. “Thanks to Mr. Solo, you will all write me a one hundred-word essay on respecting the privacy of the opposite sex. If I am not satisfied with your essay, you will make a better effort. Ms. Morgendorffer, you are in charge of passing out the writing material and collecting it. And boys and girls - I expect neat work.”
   
   
2. “Because of all of you who thought that playing in the water would be fun, I’m going to teach you about the things that actually live in the water.” She indicated three tanks at the front of the room, and lifted the dropcloths off of them. In each one, nettles and grayish-green, slimy plants grew. The students’ attention was more likely to be on the pale green, goblin-like creatures, however.
   
   “I would like you all to harvest as much gillyweed - the stuff that looks like rat tails - out of there before you leave. In groups of three - Mr. Ford, Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Solo together; Ms. Longstocking, Ms. Lang and Ms. Rutledge; and Ms. Morgendorffer, Mr. Barbossa and Mr. Bernadette. Please wait for Mr. Barbossa to hand out your protective gloves and nets.”
   
   
3. “Then we will have lunch. I hope you all like what I’ve provided.”
   
   
4. “After lunch, there will be some beginner's potion-making - you will all be extracting four ounces - that’s approximately a full plant’s worth - of bubotuber pus." Rita pointed to nine slug-like plants on her desk. "You will work alone. Continue to wear your gloves, boys and girls, unless you’d rather like to have boils."
   
   
5. “And once that is finished, you will spend the rest of your time quietly in your seats, doing lines.”

“I will not - I repeat, will not tolerate undue chatter in this detention. And do not forget that I have a wand, whereas none of you do. Anyone who talks out of turn runs the risk of being jinxed or worse. I will not hesitate to full body-bind any of you, much less transfigure you into something unpleasant for the duration of the day.”

She smiled sweetly. “Any questions?”


[ooc: All right kiddies, here’s how it’s going to go:

Comment in all of the threads. RP out what Rita has asked you to do. If you don’t, she will be cranky. If you talk about non-detention stuff, and Rita catches you, she will be cranky. If you talk back, she will be very cranky.

If Rita gets cranky, she will seriously cast a spell on you.

I won’t do anything to actually HARM a single student in here. But you might find yourselves unable to move, turned into a highly unpleasant animal, tickling for no reason at all, and so on. Furthermore, she’ll assign you detention again next week if she has to take to magical measures.

I do expect to see a full 100 word essay.

The grindylows will not bite unless you piss them off. Be careful.

The food is not poisoned. Scout’s honor. :)

The bubotuber pus is your own domain. Get boils, don’t, whatever.

And as for the lines, C&P is your friend. And yes, Rita and I are both OCD enough to check that your character has done it the full 25 times.

Finally - if you don’t know HP canon, please do take advantage of those links. Additionally, you can ping me in the OOC thread, or I *should* be on AIM (beetlewhatbeetle).

Most of all, remember: Rita is not nice. She is not your pal. She is a bitch, and she *will not* hesitate to turn you into a newt. (And you will not get getting better...until I say so, anyway.)

And you won’t be getting out until 3 AM EST. Sorry, guys. Like I said...Rita is a bitch. *shrug* And you know the rules on that - no playing in anything else until that time. And if I catch you? Consequences.

[ooc2: OCD threads going up momentarily. Wait for them and then please do use them ARE UP.]

[ooc3: I'm going AFK for an hour. If you have questions, hold off until I get back, please. BACK, YO.]

Yawning, Pip enters and signs in. He still hasn't bothered to rebraid his hair, so it's flowing behind him in what is commonly known as "a bloody mess" behind him.

He takes a seat at the desk.

Re: Sign in

Lana signs in. She looks a little pale and shaky, but the HangQuel Han gaves her last night before she went to bed really seems to have helped. She nods at Pip and attempts a weak smile.

Re: Sign in

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nods back, not sure if he wants to talk out of turn in detenition with a teacher who can turn him into something really nasty.

Re: Sign in

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana glances around casually to make sure the teacher isn't watching, then slips Pip a piece of paper.

Did I do or say anything really embarrassing or stupid last night? If so I apologize.

Re: Sign in

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Barbossa signed in with a shrug. He waved cheerfully to Professor Skeeter.

Re: Sign in

[sooo_cute]

Quinn's here, and she's not exactly happy about it. She has soooooo many classes, is she really expected to go to all of them??

Re: Sign in

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Han signs in, scowling. This all sounds like work.

Re: Sign in

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana smiles at Han and points to her head. "Thanks," she mouthed. "The HangQuel really helped."

Re: Sign in

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Han nods. "Any time," he mouths back.

Re: Sign in

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nods to Han. When he's sure that the teacher isn't looking, he mimes singing to him and grins.

Re: Sign in

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana facepalms again, remembering her attempts to sing along last night.

Re: Sign in

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Han winks back with a grin.

Pippi enters the room cheerfully and signs in. She flashes a smile to Pip

((ooc: thanks to Walter for responding to my availabilty post with the link.

Re: Sign in

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip grins and nods back.

Re: Sign in

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia signed in and looked around to see if Lana had arrived yet.

Re: Sign in

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi smiles at Maia as she enters and desperately trys to remember if they've already met or not.
(Ooc: PippiMun is gonna need to make a checklist.

Re: Sign in

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

"Hi I'm Maia." She smiled at the girl.


((nope not met before but very happy to meet you now))

Re: Sign in

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana smiles and waves at Maia.

Re: Sign in

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

"Hey." She smiled and walked over to her. "Are you ok? You don't look like you feel very well."

Re: Sign in

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nods toward Maia. He slips her a note with all the secrecy of the most skilled ninjas.

Hey, missed you at the dance last night. Saved a dance for you, though. Everything alright?

Re: Sign in

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia flips the note over and write yeah I am so sorry my friend got into some trouble last night and needed me there. Doctor Wilson said she would be ok though. Thanks for saving me a dance, maybe next time or we can do something else. :oD Maia tilts her head and slides the note back to him.

Shep is subdued, but surprisingly not ill and not even terribly bad tempered. He's tired, but that's currently the only sign of him being hungover.

Re: Sign in

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana smiles at him.

Re: Sign in

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip eyes Shep. He grins evily at him and slips him a note. Feeling the aftereffects of the punch yet?
