Detention, Depths of the Castle, Friday

[bigdamnprisoner.livejournal.com]

So, one of the important things to realize about detention was that the monotony of everyone's daily lives was part of the punishment. That meant that even though someone had died yesterday, the day's schedule didn't change a bit.

After all, most of your little lives just weren't that important in the grand scheme of things.

"Maybe as early as tomorrow," Karla said with a spiteful grin. "Whenever we can round them all up. They're like roaches, you know. They like to congregate in the dark, but as soon as you shine a light on then, they vanish."

Her grin grew wider. "But now that I'm here, Lady Umbridge's forces now every nook and cranny to search. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at all if people started showing up en masse as early as tomorrow."

April nodded slowly. "Good to know," she said. "Almost as good as being insulted, now that I think of it."

"I try to deliver," Karla said, sounding as snide as she could. "Now get away from me. I have better things to do than entertain you."

"You came over here," April pointed out. "You're really gonna make me go find a different chair?"

"Considering I'm the one who has the power to make your entire day a misery beyond what you've ever experienced before? Yes."

All part of her cover, April!

"Misery," April repeated doubtfully. "You won't even insult me."

Was she helping Karla train to enhance her cover? Maybe. Was she also just fucking around because she was bored? Absolutely.

"If you'd like, I can show you the difference," Karla offered. She held up a hand and let fire play over her fingers. "Here. You tell me your favorite insult and I'll brand it in your skin? Okay?"

April eyed her, not sure if she was bluffing. "Surprise me."

Of course Karla was bluffing! She was only pretending to be a horrible person today! Yesterday, she probably would have written something like misbegotten spawn of a gutterwhore, just for length's sake, but today, Karla actually was interested in branding anyway.

She glared at April, giving her a look that hopefully suggested something along the lines of If you make me break my cover, I very well MIGHT brand you!

It was an eloquent look.

April rolled her eyes. "Fine," she said, and made a dramatic show of pushing back her chair.

Maybe she'd go bother Jono.

"Thank the Darkness," Karla muttered, rolling her eyes. "Idiot!"

See, April! You got that insult after all!
