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.]

Archie sees the look on Anders's face and can't help feeling incredibly smug about the fact that he's actually taking this lecture far more in stride. After all, he's already used to the Tick's lecturing style, and you just don't make it through a semester of Criminal Justice without becoming accustomed to this sort of thing.

His notes:

Obviously I'm not obligated to respect the overgrown idiot, no matter what the Dean says
He's likely stupid enough to completely miss out on subtle biting insults
Talking things through with Anders is futile due to his inability to hold a coherent conversation, so that option is out
Mocking authority figures to their face is, of course, rude. ~~But pushing incompetent ones down the hatchway should be perfectly acceptable, damn it.~~
