Detention!- Danger Shop- Saturday morning

[fates_jaye]

When the students arrived at detention, they'd find the Danger Shop looking a lot like an auditorium today. One might say exactly like an auditorium, actually. They'd find Jaye backstage, where once everyone arrived she said, "So today you're going to be putting on a little bit of a show. Kind of an improvisational play, really. You'll find out the plot- well, 'plot'- as you go along, there's no script, you come up who your character is going to be, and once you make it to the end of the play, you're done and can go home."

She started to leave the backstage area, then turned back. "Oh, right, and you might have an audience. So... no pressure or anything."

Audience: Arrive/Mingle

[fates_jaye]

Students, teachers, townies, if you know there's detention today, feel free to come on in and watch. What's a show without an audience?

And popcorn. What's a show without an audience and popcorn?

If there were people about to make fools of themselves, Nathan was gonna be there to laugh and film it with his camera. It was a hobby he'd gladly admit to.

Seifer had overheard somewhere that there would be humiliation taking place.

So he went to watch.

Sam in detention? With the possibility of humiliation?

Yes. Jack was there. With popcorn.

Anakin was there to laugh make sure that the students weren't being harmed in any way.

And to eat popcorn.

Thanks, Jaye!

"I think I'm going to hell," Jaye announced.

Not that anyone should be surprised by this.

Detentioneers: Backstage

[fates_jaye]

Once Jaye leaves, your NPC stage manager tells you that most of you will be playing travelers whose bus broke down in a small town who are stuck hanging out until it's fixed.


Kenzi- A salesperson who's tired of all the traveling
Rilla- A killer on the lam
Sam- The shopkeeper who knows everything about the town there is to know
Topher and Juliet- A newly married couple who'd been on their way to their honeymoon. Yes on a bus.


And once you have that, you have a box of fully moddable costumes and wigs. Dress yourself up and decide who your character is! Probably while bitching about having to do this!

"Seriously!?"

Oh god ew. No offense, Juliet.

Re: Detentioneers: Backstage

"Like you'll ever get married," Rilla sniffed in agreement as she looked through the costume box searching for something a killer would wear.

WHY WAS SHE A KILLER?

Re: Detentioneers: Backstage

"I know!" Juliet exclaimed, not offended in the least. "I would never, ever, ever go on a honeymoon ... on a bus."

Seriously. Those things had germs.

Sam was torn. On the one hand, this was to some extent what she did, and therefore not nearly as punishy as she knew detentions could be.

On the other, there was very little chance she'd manage to sneak out, which was practically a detention tradition.

Re: Detentioneers: Backstage

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Okay, this was... different. It wasn't babysitting? So yay.

On the other hand, the idea of people watching and mocking, not as pleasant.

Also, Kenzi was sad she didn't get to be the killer.

Showtime!

[fates_jaye]

La.

Detentioneers: Act One

[fates_jaye]

When you walk out onstage you will see that your backdrop is... Your Town, USA! Complete with moddable props! You can start as many threads as you want here to establish your characters, but remember that the audience sees everything.

Break a leg!

Oh, and if you break character at all, a tomato will fly at you out of nowhere. The Danger Shop knows.

Re: Detentioneers: Act One

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam's shopkeeper character looked a whoooooooole lot like a cowboy.

Sounded like one, too, in a terrible webshow accent kind of way.

"Well, lookeeeeeee here," she said, as she pretended to sweep up the front stoop of her shop. "Looks like it's just 'bout time to order me up some more fudgeballs."

Re: Detentioneers: Act One

Juliet had managed to find a decent pink tweed Chanel suit (http://www.burningsettlerscabin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Chanel-Suit-2.jpg), complete with matching hat and handbag. The vintage soothed her.

"So," she said woodenly. "Here we are in a charming small town."

Re: Detentioneers: Act One

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi had one of the pink wigs on, a large but empty suitcase, and a suit. A suit of lime. It was awesome.

"Oh, if only I could go home already. To... uh. Tallahassee." That was just fun to say. "But no. I have to sell more .." Ha! "Personal massage objects, from 'Dite's Decadent Delights, open weekdays on Fandom Island!"

Re: Detentioneers: Act One

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

Rilla was wearing what she thought a criminal would: pants, ugly shoes, a black shirt and a mask over her eyes.

...she wasn't the most inconspicuous person on the lam ever.

"We mutht continue to Canada!" she lisped. "For...no reathon!"

Detentioneers: Act Two

[fates_jaye]

Oh noes, someone found the bus driver dead offstage! Well, it had to be one of you five people who killed him, since you're the only ones in the play.

Also when you say the word "dead" popcorn rains down on you.

Detentioneers: Act Three

[fates_jaye]

NPC cops arrive for the killer, whoever it is! And another bus arrives for whoever didn't kill anyone! Happy ending for all!

Except the dead guy.

Also if you say 'leave', a giant cane swoops in and pulls you offstage like in the cartoons.

Audience: Watch the play

[fates_jaye]

Go ahead and react. You know you want to.

Detentioneers: And you're done!

[fates_jaye]

In case anyone wants to take off costumes, complain, etc. etc. after the show.

Re: Detentioneers: And you're done!

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam took off her fake mustache and pulled a pudding cup out of her bag.

"Did anyone get that on tape?" she asked.

What? That was like "The Cowboy and the Idiot Farmgirl: the Movie".

OOC

[fates_jaye]

Omg this took me way too long to figure out. You nearly ended up being given Scottish Play to do, y'all. There's no script, just a basic outline of what happens, and you guys can run with it however you want to. ICly you'll be getting out before noon so it won't take up your whole day.

Also I really like saying 'detentioneers.'

If you have any questions, ping me here!
