Danger Shop - Detention [6/24]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

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."

"That Mutant Registration Act sounds like a load of trouble. As for the aliens.." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I kind of got killed by one. I'm okay now!" He added hurriedly. "A hundred percent alive. Just that kind of thing that makes you remember them."

Marie's jaw dropped. "Oh, wow. Um... I have no idea what to say to that," Marie confessed.


[that worked cause I had to link gather!]

Kawalsky grinned sheepishly. "It's a real conversation stopper, isn't it?" He poked himself in the chest. "But see? Real, alive, don't have to deal with those aliens anymore, just the nice ones. And Aeryn, who isn't nice, but is cool anyway."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie looked at him kind of skeptically. "How does that work?" she asked. "And Aeryn's an alien?"

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Bad aliens killed me, good aliens used their technology to bring me back. Can't say I asked a whole lot of questions. Or, any really, because I woke up here and they were gone. Aeryn's, uh, complicated. I dunno if she's an alien alien in the way like little green men or anything, but she's not from around here, so she's alien to me. If that makes sense." He frowned. "I'm not sure it does."

"I don't know if it makes sense or not, but considering how much around here doesn't make sense, I'm not surprised," Marie said. "That's cool that the good aliens helped you though."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

He smiled. "Me too. Even with all of the zombies and snow monsters and mummies and detention, I like it here. The first month or two was weird, but it's a good place to be now. And there's that whole feeling about having a secret that the rest of the world doesn't know about and wouldn't believe anyway. Got your own secret island getaway."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

Marie nodded. "I'm starting to get used to it. I try not to make things make sense too much, that seems to help. I'm not sure I'd know how to act if I went back home now though."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that's gotta be tough. Most people would think you've gone crazy or you're making stuff up. I figure the world, well, any of 'em, have weird stuff going on and I just don't know about it all yet. So if I ever went back, I think I'd not tell anyone, but keep my eyes open."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

"I know I could never tell my family any of the stuff that I learned here. They'd think I was nuts. My parents were convinced that mutants didn't exist; that they government made them up to scare people. But now I know they do."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Charlie nodded. "I wouldn't have believed any of the people here existed unless I saw 'em for myself. So in your universe, there's mutants and the government is trying to get them to come out or something?"

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"I guess?" Marie said. "I honestly didn't pay that much attention to the news coverage. From what Jamie's told me, it sounds like a bad thing for mutants though. If they register, they could become targets."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"I guess I can see why they'd wanna do it, in case mutants with special powers use them against other people, but then I suppose any regular human with the right equipment could do the same thing. And I'll bet the people trying to get it going are doing it for the wrong reasons. Politicians are usually like that. I hope it works out okay."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

"So do I," Marie said. "Jamie said it didn't end up passing in his world, so I'll hope the same is true in mine once Congress actually starts holding hearings for it."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

He nodded. "Congress is stupid, but you've gotta hold hope that they're not that stupid."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie smiled. "I don't think I've had too many political discussions before."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Didn't even realize we were talking politics til you mentioned it." Charlie offered his packet of fries. "Want some?"

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Sure, thanks," Marie said, grabbing a few. "So what do you do when you're not in detention?" she asked. "You aren't on the basketball team, right?"

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

"Nah, I'm more of a hockey guy. We used to have a team, but the rink shut down. I don't really do much. Hang out, talk to people, watch TV, work out sometimes. I need a hobby. Really."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Hockey's not bad," Marie said. "I don't watch it that often, but I do like it. I'm hoping to travel across Canada some day and I always figured I'd catch a hockey game while I was doing that."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Can't go to Canada without seeing a hockey game. They're nuts about it. Any reason for Canada? I hear it's cold up there. But nice."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"The cold seems exotic after growing up in Mississippi," Marie said. "I want to travel up the east coast, cross into Canada at Niagara Falls and then cross the country to Alaska."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like fun. I wanna travel too, not sure where yet. Love seeing new stuff."

Re: Lunch - Detention [6/24]

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Where all have you traveled? I haven't been very many places yet."

"Uhhh," he stalled while trying to think. "I moved around the US a lot when I was younger with my family because of my Dad's job. Been all over the world, but not for long. Just short trips. Africa, Europe, South America, Middle East."
