Detention - Saturday 4/22

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Detention is being posted in fandomhigh as usual for consistency, however, detention activites are occurring in town at the Town Hall.]


Lorelai is waiting in the foyer of the town hall promptly at 8am. She's looking longingly at the coffee and doughnuts spread that Luke thoughtfully provided while sipping her herbal tea and eating a banana.

She checks names off a clipboard as people arrive.

Angel
Belthazor
Callisto
Angela Chase
Skank Zero Hopeless-Savage
Archie Kennedy
Veronica Mars
Chloe Sullivan
John Connor
Jaye Tyler

"Okay gang. This detention can be as easy or as hard as you make it," she says once everyone has arrived. "If you put a little effort in to getting the work done, you can be out of here in more than enough time to enjoy the prom. If you don't, well, you're only hurting yourself."

Lorelai tapes up a list of information that people might need.

Our list of cities:
1. Atlantis
2. Samarkand (Arabia)
3. Troy (Greco-Roman)
4. El Dorado (Spanish-Mayan)
5. Angkor Wat (Chinese-Mongolian)
6. Hamanptra (Egypt) [Entrance]
7. Mesa Verde (N.American/Neolithic)
8. Camelot [Photo Area]
9. Krakatoa (Polynesian w/Volcano) [Snark Corner]


[wait for OCD or I will kill you. OCD is up! Make sure you read the OOC comment!]

[ETA: I turned off comment screening so that townies who have stuff for helping to set up the prom can poke in. That would probably be best under the Other Misc Decoration thread. Also, StuCo members and faculty who might have need of being involved in set up are more than welcome!]

[ETA #2: I'm back!]

"It better not rain pudding at the prom," Veronica said. "I'll be pissed if my dress gets ruined."

Re: Techie Stuff

"What'd you get?" Angel asked. He managed to create some sparks as he connected some of the wires, but he didn't look perturbed by it.

Re: Techie Stuff

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Not a sailor suit," she replied immediately.

Re: Techie Stuff

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel blinked.

"O...kay?"

Re: Techie Stuff

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica facepalmed. "Marty's brilliant idea," she explained. "Since I'm going with Archie?" She shook her head. "He's a dead man next time I see him."

Re: Techie Stuff

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Ohhh," Angel said, getting it. He looked Veronica over. "Sailor suit could be cute."

Re: Techie Stuff

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

If looks could kill? Well, it would be good that Angel was already dead.

"I think the one Marty sent me would be a wee bit inappropriate," she explained. "Besides, I bought a dress and it's the prom, not a costume party."

Re: Techie Stuff

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Does that mean if we were having a costume party, I could see you in the suit?"

It was possible Angel was pre-ducking the thwap that was undoubtedly heading in his direction.

Re: Techie Stuff

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I really don't think that would be a good idea," Veronica said.

Re: Techie Stuff

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Worried I'd lose my soul?"

Re: Techie Stuff

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Something like that," she grinned.

Re: Techie Stuff

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"You know, you do have footage of me doing boykissy. I think the least you could do is show me you in a sailor suit."

Re: Techie Stuff

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

That thwap Angel was expecting earlier? Totally headed his way now.

"Angel, you have a girlfriend that could kill me with her pinkie finger. I wouldn't want to do anything to tempt you that would get me killed."

Re: Techie Stuff

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Ow!" Angel rubbed the spot where she thwapped him. "Oh sure. Now you decide not to live a life of danger."

Re: Techie Stuff

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"You had your chance," Veronica reminded him. "And we decided to just be friends."

Re: Techie Stuff

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I stand by that decision," Angel said. Though there may have been a layer of wistfullness deep behind that sentiment.

Re: Techie Stuff

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"So do I," Veronica said, though there may have been a brief thought of 'what if' running through her mind.

Re: Techie Stuff

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Should we test these lights then?" Angel asked, recognizing a need for a subject change when he saw one.

Re: Techie Stuff

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica nodded. "Yeah, I think testing them would be a good idea." She bit her lip. "I'll stand over here and let you do that, just in case."

Re: Techie Stuff

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Probably wise," Angel said. "Dead bodies tend to handle this stuff better."

Re: Techie Stuff

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I am a very smart girl," Veronica said. "Um, most of the time."

Re: Techie Stuff

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I didn't say anything," Angel replied, innocently.

Re: Techie Stuff

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"You didn't have to."

Re: Techie Stuff

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel grinned. "Okay, stand back."

He flipped a switch on the circuit breaker. The lights dimmed, there was a spark, then they flared up in all their colored glory.

Angel looked pleased.
