Detention, Saturday, 3/25, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream appears bored and a little contemptuous of the four teenagers who file into the Danger Room for detention. Half the room is set up as a conventional classroom; the other half holds four military-style cots. A table in the classroom half holds some food for later.

Dream inclines his head in a nod of greeting. "Hello. You are in my care for the duration of the day. I promise I will not harm you, permanently."

It might be that he gives slightly more significant glances to Marty and Angel, who both served detention under him several months before. He might also give Angel a look that could say, I have not forgotten what we talked about.

Or it might all just be a trick of the light, and he may give no student any particular attention.

The list of names on the board is:
Angel
Martin Blank
Logan Echolls
Isabel Evans

Sign In, detention, 3/25

Points for good penmanship.

Activity one, detention, 3/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Write a brief paragraph explaining who you are, why you are here, and how you feel about your offense. If you have remorse, or do not, this is the time to say so.

Activity two, detention, 3/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Research any human language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages) except for your own native tongue. Write a brief paragraph discussing the language, its history and its modern usage.

Lunch, detention, 3/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream silently places a boxed lunch containing a ham sandwich, a bag of pretzels, an apple and a bottle of apple juice on each desk.

Activity three, 3/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

As the students finish their lunches, Dream's smile glints.

"I believe it is time for a nap," he announces, pointing each detainee to a cot. Even if they are inclined to protest they aren't tired, they feel compelled to lie down, to sleep, and then, to dream. Their dreams may be about school, or may be memories from further in the past. They may even be visions of thr future.

Activity four, 3/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

The students sleep and dream on, and their dreams become darker, harder, threatening -- nightmares, in a word.

For Logan and Angel, this nightmare may literally be thei worst they can imagine.

Dismissal, detention, 3/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

With a wave of his hand, Dream awakens the students.

"You have served out your time. You may leave," he says.

They might wonder why they feel so anxious, so utterly unrefreshed, after such a long nap.

Marty walks into detention and does his best not to flail when he sees Dream standing there.

"Dumb. Fucking. Luck."

His signature? Definitely not good penmanship.

My name is Martin Blank, I'm a student here. I accidentally blew up a My Little Pink Pony Princess plushie in Sociology class and tried to be cute about it.

Damn right I feel bad about it. Now.

Re: Sign In, detention, 3/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream inclined an eyebrow. "Is there some problem, Mr. Blank?"

"Other than the last time I served detention with you I went batsh*t crazy for three days?" Marty thought to himself.

"No sir. Not at all," Marty said sitting down at a desk.

Marty sits down and researches the German language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language#History"). He might be glancing at dream nervously from time to time.

Re: OOC

Soooooo Pretty...

Re: Lunch, detention, 3/25

Marty looks at the lunch suspiciously and pushes it away.

Quite frankly? He doesn't have an appetite.

Isabel signed. Her raft is still pretty far out on the River Denial so her foot is tappping from an overdose of nerves.

My name is Isabel Evans. I'm a sophomore here at Fandom High. I am also an alien. I am here in detention because I had the incredible luck to be the winner of this week's detention lottery. I feel bad about being here but not because of anything I did.

The history of the German language begins with the High German consonant shift during the Migration period, separating South Germanic dialects from common West Germanic. The earliest testimonies of Old High German are from scattered inscriptions, especially in Alemannic, from the 6th century, the earliest glosses date to the 8th and the oldest coherent texts to the 9th century.

When Martin Luther translated the Bible he based his translation mainly on this already developed language, which was the most widely understood language at this time. This language was based on Eastern Upper and Eastern Central German dialects and preserved much of the grammatical system of Middle High German. In the beginning, copies of the Bible had a long list for each region, which translated words unknown in the region into the regional dialect. It took until the middle of the 18th century to create a standard that was widely accepted.

Remembering River Dog (http://www.crashdown.com/episodes/106_j.shtml), Isabel begins to research the Navajo language. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_language)

Isabel douses her sandwich liberally with a small bottle of tabasco she had in her jacket pocket and eats.

Speaking of Red Balloons, did you hear about this (http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/breaking_news/14178254.htm)?

I'm going AFK until about 1:30ish. But then I'll be back for the afternoon.

Marty looks over at Isabel. "So you got the lottery draw huh? Tough luck."

"Given the week I've had," Isabel said with a shrug. "It figures."
