fandomhigh | Detention - Saturday 4/22

[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!]

"I need some people to do some heavy lifting. We need to hang the backdrops (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/832548.html#cutid1) that the art classes made. The bandstand needs to be put together and checked for stability so the royalty doesn't have any accidents. And we need tables for refreshments and chairs for people to relax in. My husband, Luke, is here to oversee that stuff."

"We have some techie stuff that needs taken care of. There are seven DVD players (http://emo-padawan.livejournal.com/31335.html) that need to be set up to project 3-D images. There are also gels that need placed over the lights and directed at the correct area. I'm assuming you guys can figure out that the fire ones go to the volcanic areas, the water to places like Atlantis, etcetera. If you need help on this one? You'll probably wanna ask Luke again. I'm more likely to burn my fingers on the lights or short out the fuses or something."

"There are a ton of balloons that need blown up and a helium tank. Please do not start doing whippets. We also have streamers to be hung everywhere, rosettes for the banisters, and lots and lots of glitter. There are some plants that we need placed around in the appropriate areas. And tableclothes and candles to be placed on the tables once they're put together. There are also floating candles that need placed in all the fountains and lit. This would be my area of expertise and my best advice is that you can never have enough glitter."

"I need someone that won't set themself on fire to light the torches outside. We also need to get the silk tents up so people can dance outside if they would like."

For anything I may have forgotten. All the balloons, streamers, etc are in the school colors, blue & gold or silver & gold leaf.

"You can take a ten minute coffee or juice break, but keep it short so you can get out of here on time, okay?"

So there are four main decorating areas. Please have your character interact or at least establish presence in two of them. Please don't clump all the characters in the same areas and leave some areas untouched. I didn't assign groups, but if I see that certain areas are getting neglected, I will. Given the sheer amount of stuff we're supposed to accomplish, I don't think you need to RP everything in great detail.

Like I said in the email (http://msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com/7923.html), you can start interacting in other places after 3pm EST provided that your character has signed in and established presence in at least two of the decorating areas.

Ping me on AIM (veronicamarsFH) or here with any questions.

Veronica signs in and grabs a cup of coffee.

Callisto signed in and grabbed a cup of coffee.

If by cup you mean pot.

Angel signed in and helped himself to coffee.

Angel raised his hand. "Super strength. I'm all over this."

At work, might be a bit busy, can be reached via email or comments here =)

"You need fire, I can do fire."

Callisto totally wasn't a pryomaniac. She just happened to appreicate a sanctioned opportunity to burn stuff.

Duly noted.

Though -- I did just email about a tiny problem that just occurred me.

Lorelai smiled. "That sounds great! Make sure you take at least one other person ~~Bel, omg~~ with you for safety."

ANgela signed in and took coffee and a jelly donut.

"My strength isn't exactly super but I've enough experience breaking camp to know how to lift stuff."

No, she wasn't volunteering over here purely because she didn't trust Angel not to do something stupid, why ever would you think that?

Angela decided the project involving glitter was the only one for her, and went to retrieve the baloons and helium to start decorating.

There was just one mystery. "Ms. Gilmore-Danes? What's a whippet?"

"Gotcha," Callisto nodded. "I'll just go start setting up the area so we don't burn down the hall then?"

Lorelai chuckled. "It's something people do with a helium tank that gets them high," she explained. "And what are you doing in detention, Angela?"

"Not burning down the hall is an excellent idea," Lorelai agreed.

Angela affixed a balloon to the nozzle and began to blow it up. As she did that, it was hard for her to contain a look of irritation. "I bumped into Ms. Skeeter and she got mad. I'm just glad she didn't turn me into a kangaroo, or something."

"That's it?" Lorelai asked, shaking her head. "Some of the teachers around here are wound too tight."

"I'll be just outside." Callisto went outside to start clearing the area of anything flammable which wasn't going to deliberately set on fire.
