Danger Shop - Detention [6/24]

As the students enter, the Danger Shop appears to be a mostly empty room with a half circle of chairs in the middle.

The focal point of the half circle is a large white board which has a list of names on one half. The other half is covered at the moment.

~~Belthazor~~
~~Marie D'Ancanto~~
~~Timothy Desmond~~
~~Walter Dornez~~
~~Tyler Durden~~
~~Kaylee Fry~~
~~Phoebe Halliwell~~
~~Charles Kawalsky~~
~~Jamie Madrox~~
~~Setsuna Sakurazaki~~
~~Nadia Santos~~
~~Stark~~

Once everyone has arrived, Veronica begins briefing them.

"I don't know what you guys did to earn detention today and frankly, I don't care. Today we're going to solve a mystery and you're going to put someone else's well being before for your own."

She uncovers the other half of the board, which has a list of information about a missing girl, including a physical description.

"The girls' parents believe she has run off with her boyfriend and don't want to involve the authorities. It's your job to find her."

[~~omg, wait for~~ OCD is up! Sign In Here cause I forgot to put it first.]

[ETA: IC you'll be released at 5pm FHT. OOC, you're done once you complete all the tasks]

"That sounds brilliant. Just let me know when you're practicing and we'll set something up."

He raised his eyebrows at the plotting grin. "What sort of documentary are you doing?"

"I intend to be down there every afternoon after workshops; makes it a pretty easy schedual."

"And it's about weapons. I've been eagerly trying to find some people who use rare weapons. I've got swords and possibly some guns, which is pretty standard fare, but wires are definately unique. But if you're not interested in an interview, that's fine. I would like at least a weapons demonstration, though. They sound too good not to provide any good footage. Perhaps we could even get some film together on you and I working together." Her eyes shine a little; if it ends up working out like she pictures it in her head, it would be some amazing footage. If anything, she can just have her documentary be pretty shiny weapons demonstrations and call that good.

Hell, she'd watch that any day.

"I can help you with that. I just didn't want to get involved in any more discussions of potential inequalities here at the school."

Her head tilts slightly, a blank look on her face momentarily. "Um, nope. Just a lot of talk about weapons." Sakurazaki gives an assuring nod.

"Certainly, then. I'd be happy to help you out. What do you want? A demonstration, or just an interview, or both? It's too bad you missed out yesterday, we were jumping off the roof."

"Both would be wonderful. The more material I have, the better."

Another head tilt. "Jumping off the roof?"

"Oh yes. We jump and I use my wires to control our falls. It's fun, and other than the fact that Seras got dizzy from a spin, quite safe."

Yes, Walter has an interesting definition of "safe."

At first, Sakurazaki's just grinning at the concept. Jumping off the roof, eh? Using trick wires. Did she have something she could show them.

"That's amazing," she says, chuckling lightly. "Next time you guys go to that, you'll have to invite me."

"I've heard on the radio that there are other students who can do it without the wires, but I haven't seen it myself." He rolled his shoulders a little, still stiff, but loosening up. "But it's good exercise. Jump four times, climb back up seven stories. No one says practice has to be dull."

"I can do it without the wires." Despite the fact that she's wondering why the hell she's telling Walter this, Sakurazaki is smiling in a rather self-satisfied way. It was absolutely....absolutely insane!...that she was thinking about doing this, but yet here she was. She blamed the talk of swords; her confidence had been boosted up and now it didn't want to leave her all of a sudden.

"How do you do it?" Walter asked. "Are you a witch? I've met a few here."

"No, not a witch." Although she might as well have said she was, for all the trouble she was getting herself into. She tries to keep herself calm by reminding herself that, around here, things like that wasn't going to matter. Maybe she was actually starting to believe that. Maybe that's why she was doing it. "I'll just have to show you one of these times."

Walter grinned. "I look forward to seeing it. I have learned so much since coming here. Most of it not on the formal class list."

She chuckles lightly. "I never really found the formal education stuff to ever be very useful for anything, anyway."

"It has its uses. The formal classes here have more practical application than they do at most schools. At least for the sort of lives many of us lead."

"This is true," she says with a grin. "I mean, hell, even the detention here is practical. I was half expecting to be sitting in seiza all day." There's a slight weathered look on her face at the mention of it.

"What's that? Is it better or worse than my mentor's idea of punishment, which this week meant cleaning the kitchen with a toothbrush?"

An eyebrow arches. "If you ask me, seiza is better. It's a traditional form of punishment for Japanese students. It technically means 'correct sitting,' and misbehaviour is punished by making students sit with their legs tucked under them like so," she shifts in her chair to demonstrate, assuming the position, "for several hours, and nothing more. It doesn't bother me so much because I'm used to meditating like this, but it can be hellish for someone not so accoustomed to it."

"I'd rather clean the kitchen with a toothbrush," Walter decided. "It's a butler's discipline to be able to be silent and still, but I never have to do it for hours at a time."

Heaven help him if Alfred heard that from him.

"...You're a butler?" She had to ask.

Walter nodded and shrugged. "It's not as though London's being overrun by vampires ~~that happens fifty-five years in my future~~. I have to do something with my free time."

Sakurazaki head bobs slightly. "That...is a very good point."

Somehow in the course of their conversation, Walter had actually managed to eat his lunch. Funny how that happens. "I think it's just about time to move on with our investigations." He picked up his dishes. "It was a pleasure meeting you at last. Oh, when do you want to do the interview?"

She considers. "Hmmm, sometime next week, maybe? I only have workshops Monday through Wednesday, mornings and afternoons. So any time beyond those times that work for you can work for me."

"Monday evening or Thursday morning or evening will work for me, if that still fits your schedule for your documentary."
