fandomhigh | Detention: January 28th

The Tick entered the Danger Shop, carrying some coffees and with Lockheed trailing behind. The shop had been programmed to look just like his classroom because he was prepared to inflict the deepest punishment he could think to inflict upon a person; he was going to lecture them today.

As the students filed in, The Tick pointed them towards the sign-in sheet.

Samuel Throgmorten Anders
Archibald Kennedy
Alphonse Elric
Edward Elric
Togusa
Charles Kawalsky

Once everyone was in and seated, he began to speak.

"Hello, students. You kids have either earned - or in your case, Togusa, had the bad luck to be randomly selected - your time here today. I have coffee, notebooks, and pens for you today. I'm going to lecture you this morning, and then after lunch, you'll be expected to write about what you heard. I'd suggest taking good notes so your essays shine."

[OOC: During the lectures take notes, pass notes (although you will get caught at a certain point), ask questions afterwards, whatever. Lockheed may mock you. There will be a short essay at the end of detention. And the fact that there are no threads after Lunch right now? Means absolutely nothing, really. As for timeframe... well, who can predict these things, really? You'll know when it's over.]

"I know that at least two of you are in here for the destruction of school property. I've destroyed a lot of property in my time. It comes with being a superhero. Being thrown into buildings. Jumping around on buildings. Throwing parts of buildings at bad guys. Or mailboxes. Or street signs. Fire hydrants are surprisingly aerodynamic, really."

"Anyway, that's all good when fighting evil. But when hanging out in the dorms, it's unacceptable. Unless it's actually your property. Or if you have permission, like when I helped knock down a wall to turn two rooms into a big suite."

"Anyway, be more careful with that kind of stuff and you won't get into trouble anymore."

Anders nods and, from what Ed had told him, knows that the Tick is talking about the Elrics. He's pretty much mainlining his coffee, and doodling little stick figures in the margins of his notes. They seem to include a lot of decapitated heads with funny-looking hats. But largely they just look like half-random scribbles, because it's hard to get stick figures to really look gory.

He is actually writing down notes, though:

Hydrants -- arodynamic?
Superheros throw building pieces at bad guys here, it's not just in the movies back home
If I break a table while wearing a superhero outfit, does that make it okay?

Togusa is nodding at the correct times, but has downloaded songs to keep away the earworm of Iron Butterfly. He now is a walking Ipod.

He's also writing notes down.

Building destruction is okay. How the hell do you toss them? Perhaps a demolition test that includes a timed attack on a building by using a mini tank? Check with tachikoma to see what it thinks about this.

Throwing stuff at bad guys is fine, check out different types of projectiles to use. Also clarify the definition of "Bad Guy"

Alphonse wanted to protest that it wasn't like they intened to blow up a room-- Far from it. They did anyway, so he kept his mouth shut.

A paper Raptor floats over and lands on Alphonse's desk. If he unfolds it, it'll read:

Hey, you're Ed's brother, right? Been trying to track you down to say hi, but haven't gotten a chance to yet. Too bad it had to be here, huh?

Alphonse looked at the paper a moment before unfolding it, darting his eyes across the room in hopes nobody spotted him. He wrote his reply, then slightly crumpled it up into a ball to roll back at Anders;

Yeah, I am. Wouldn't worry about the meeting place, I've run into people in stranger places. It doesn't seem that bad so far though, it could be worse.

A new paper Raptor sailed back, this one bearing the message,

Yeah, nothing's as bad as the first detention I ever had that was run by a crazy vampire. She made us watch bad slide shows and play with creepy eyeless dolls. I'm Anders, by the way. Hope your brother shared those cupcakes with you.

He used the same method of returning the note, for he did not have floaty-paper abilities;

A vampire? They have everything here, don't they? Oh! Ed had mentioned you to me before, and yes, he did. Thanks for the treat, they were pretty good!

Archie's notes might read like this:

Superheroism and property destruction apparently go hand in hand
Is Anders evil?
Property destruction is acceptable when you are the one being thrown into a building
If I goad Anders into throwing me into a building, will I get off scot-free while he gets punished?

Edwards notes are filled, not surprisingly, withing variations of the array he and Alphonse had used last weekend. He's more concerned with making sure that the array was stable than listening to the 'not destroying property' part of the lecture.

He looked up at one point. Did he really hear-? Fire hydrants. Huh. He wrote that one down, if only for the mental image of chucking a fire hydrant at Scar. That, of course, caused a snicker to escape.

Kawalsky paid attention only because it was The Tick. You just had to listen to a big guy in a blue suit when he spoke to you.

Get Tick's help for more heavy lifting/breaking stuff.
Breaking stuff on own is bad.
Blowing stuff up? Don't get caught.
