[sith_happened]

Anakin had learned from leaving just a note for the students. Today, he waited until everyone was seated before his voice boomed ominously through the classroom. "Under your desk, one of you will find an X. The rest of you have the goal of discovering who that person is and either protecting them or turning them over to authorities when they arrive in 30 minutes."

There was a long pause. "Student X, you know what you did."

Nothing, but that was part of the point.

Panic!

[sith_happened]

Or figure out a different plan of attack (without, you know, physically attacking anyone).

[OOC: The X is under Eleanor's desk. Eleanor, you may of course lie like a rug about this fact.]

"I'm starting to think we're being tested on our character instead of our brains each week," Okuyasu mused out loud.

Re: Panic!

[mother_forker]

Okay. Not her first time getting busted. The point was to deflect and deny. Two things Eleanor was an expert at.

"Clearly it's Nina."

Was Nina even in her class? Didn't matter. She's sticking to it.

Vette actually looked almost disappointed that she wasn't the one guilty of whatever was being accused, here. But she shrugged and settled in to lean back against a wall, arms crossed in front of herself and smirking.

Hey, maybe she could look guilty enough that people would assume it was her anyway. That would be way more fun than being innocent.

"Oh! I know the answer to this one!" Illyana lit up enthusiastically. "We call it 'fuck the police!'"

Illyana'd spent the last year living in NYC. She wasn't a narc.

She pointed at the wall, and a glowing portal appeared. "Who wants to go get ice cream?"

Re: Panic!

[chirpchirpchirp]

Oooh, that was even better than Vette's plan of just faking guilty to mess with people.

"I can't say no to ice cream," she chimed in, perking up a little. "Thinking the place in town, here?"

Vette was also no big fan of the cops, it was true.

Re: Panic!

[gospel_of_oblivion]

"Yeah, going any farther than that would require a layover in a place none of you would enjoy," Illyana said bluntly. "So, this Stepping Disc goes to town! All aboard, anyone who isn't a sell-out!"

Illyana. No.

Re: Panic!

[chirpchirpchirp]

"And on I go," Vette declared.

Because she? Was not a sell-out.

Unless you were a teacher, and then she'd merrily throw you right under that hoverbus.

Re: Panic!

[mother_forker]

"Fork yeah!" Eleanor said happily. "I'm totally down with that."

And then she saw the whole portal thing happen.

"Shirt. Is that for-"

Then she just shrugged.

"Fork it. Let's go. Just one thing."

She scribbled a note and left it for the teacher.

"Okay. Let's motor."

Re: Panic!

[gospel_of_oblivion]

"You step in, you step out in town," Illyana promised. "Not run by those gnomes or whatever, I control it."

Re: Panic!

[mother_forker]

"Wait. Gnomes? Like the ceramic one in g-"

...

"You know what? Don't care. Ice Cream."

And she walked on through.

Re: Panic!

[handystand]

"Wait we can..."

Okuyasu stood up and toppled over his desk. "Yeah, fuck the police and let's get ice cream!"

Re: Panic!

[gospel_of_oblivion]

Illyana gestured towards the portal. "I need to go last so no one gets left behind, so. Get going!"

Re: Panic!

[handystand]

Okuyasu did not even hesitate. He jumped through the portal, he really didn't need to be told twice.

Re: Panic!

[unusual_sith]

Lana was torn. On the one hand...ice cream! And on the other hand...class!

She was curious how this would play out, though.

"I think I'll stay for now. Meet you all later?"

Re: Panic!

[gospel_of_oblivion]

"I'm not leaving the Stepping Disc open, so you'll have to walk," Illyana said, looking mildly regretful. "Have fun, don't get detention or whatever?"

Re: Panic!

[unusual_sith]

"I'll do my best," Lana said, smiling. "Have fun and don't get caught!"

Re: Panic!

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

"I think it beats sitting around a classroom when there's a good chance the person we're supposed to pick out is getting ice cream," Tisarwat reasoned with a faint grin, even though she was definitely just in it for the portal, she had to know what going through it was like.

Re: Panic!

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Sabine was not so much into cooperating with authorities, and let's be real, whoever was in trouble wasn't sticking around to be told on anyway and she wasn't going to be here for the consequences of that.

"Guess I'm getting ice cream."

Re: Panic!

[following_my_fishie]

Del looked under her desk. No X. Lots of gum though! She peeled one of the gums off and popped it in her mouth.

Re: Panic!

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

Tisarwat checked under her desk; no X. She glanced around the room curiously, wondering if she could figure out who had it or almost make things a little more interesting by making it almost seem as if she had it, but then there were portals.

And ice cream, but Tisarwat wasn't as interested in that part. And it looked like a good handful of the class was going to go, too. She wouldn't go so far as to say she'd just do what the majority of the class did, but it would be much more interesting on the other side of those portals than sticking around and playing Point the Finger with only half the class.

Especially since, if the person who had the X had any sort of brains, they'd go with the portals, too.

Re: Panic!

[unusual_sith]

Lana might not be about to play by the rules, but she still valued knowing as much as she could about what was going on.

She looked under every desk to see where the X was.

Well, that made a bit of difference; it was, after all, her duty to protect Eleanor.

Re: Panic!

[mylandmyrules]

"We're not actually allowed to just leave and go get ice cream, are we?" Nell asked Lana.

Well, unless it was the pirate class. The teacher would probably give them extra credit for leaving.

Re: Panic!

[unusual_sith]

Lana thought about it. "Generally, leaving class is considered bad. But the instructions didn't explicitly forbid it."

Re: Panic!

[mylandmyrules]

"Okay then," Nell said. "Well, I'm gonna stay just 'cause I don't feel like I should take off in the middle of a class, but I'm not participating in a witch hunt neither."
