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!]

"Not right now. I thought someone might try to break into my prom date before I could," she says. "I'll save you a few chugs, okay?"

Angel sighed, standing back. "I appreciate that. So is he going to wear pants?"

One of these years Angel would find the part of his weetiny brain that made him say such things and then beat the everloving crap out of it.

"I'd... hope so," she says. "The prom photo might look a little funny without them."

Re: Inside Decorations

"It's just apparently there's a tradition there."

Once was a tradition in Angel's mind. Possibly because the image had been burned into his braincells.

Re: Inside Decorations

[fates_jaye]

"A pantsless tradition?"

"That's what Veronica says," Angel tried for a "ha ha, silly Veronica" kind of laugh. "Boy, she just cannot shut up about that, really."

Re: Inside Decorations

[fates_jaye]

"I've never heard her talk about a pantsless tradition."

Re: Inside Decorations

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Can't seem to shut up about it in my hearing," Angel muttered.

Re: Inside Decorations

[fates_jaye]

"So... how pantsless? Just without pants, or... without pants?"

Re: Inside Decorations

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel facepalmed. "I didn't ask. There's no pants. There's a shirt. That's all I've got."

Re: Inside Decorations

[fates_jaye]

"...I may have to talk to Veronica. Just to see what my phone call home tomorrow will be like."

"There may have been socks?" Angel added, helpfully.

Re: Inside Decorations

[fates_jaye]

"Hm. Socks kinda take away from it, I think."

Re: Inside Decorations

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Could depend on where he was wearing them."

Re: Inside Decorations

[fates_jaye]

Jaye blinks.

And then blinks again. "Them?"

Re: Inside Decorations

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"As a concept."

Re: Inside Decorations

[fates_jaye]

"Odd concept!"

Re: Inside Decorations

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"How often do you just say 'sock'?"

Re: Inside Decorations

[fates_jaye]

"It depends what it's being used for," she says.

Re: Inside Decorations

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Well, see, I don't know," Angel said. "Veronica didn't supply pictures."

There may have been an unspoken damn it.

Re: Inside Decorations

[fates_jaye]

"Damn it," says Jaye. "I'll ask her about that, too."

Re: Inside Decorations

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

There was a very, very long pause as Angel tried to figure out how to say this without sounding - what's the word? - obvious.

"Lemme know how that goes?"

Re: Inside Decorations

[fates_jaye]

"I'm on it," she assures him.

Re: Inside Decorations

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Another long pause. Jaye might even notice the mental dictionary that he was flipping through.

"Good. I'm... glad. As a friend."
