fandomhigh | Detention, July 29th, The Gym

After leaving a note at the Danger Shop directing the students to the gym, Coach GOB Bluth began to set things up. When the students arrived, they would find him in his game-day suit with a whistle around his neck and a clipboard in his hand. On the clipboard was a sign-up sheet.

Willow Rosenberg
Blair Sandburg

"Hi there. We have a basketball game today and we need to get it set up. That's going to be your job. You'll also have to do the little things around the bench during the game. Getting your team water, giving motivational speeches so I don't have to, crap like that. Whatever they need. You can leave when the game is over."

"Go Gremlins."

[OOC: ~~Wait for~~ OCD is up. The detention post will cover you through lunch, then you should participate in the game posts to whatever degree you would like or find appropriate. For leaving, use the rough guideline of 5:00, or whenever the game is over. I will actually be AFK for the entire afternoon, so this detention will be light on the GOB interaction. Hopefully I'm giving enough to keep you busy.]

[ETA: Going now. Have fun!]

"I guess that's a possibilty." Blair bounced a dirty ball on the floor. "So why do you have detention?"

"I have no idea!" Willow said, looking ready to go into another panic attack about this. "I was good! I made it to all my classes even when I was sick and I did all my homework assignments and I didn't break any rules that I know of and now I'm going to end up rejected by every college and homeless!"

"Whoa, Willow, slow down." Blair smiled. "You probably just won the detention lottery. Actually, since only two of us are here this week and I earned my stay here, then I'm pretty sure you were randomly picked."

"What'd you do?" Willow asked, curious.

"I called Dr. Cox Lucinda and then by his first name." Blair shrugged. "I'm trying to be his friend, but it's hard."

Willow gave some of the cleaner balls a test bounce. She was hesitant about this since having no useful gym skills meant it was very likely she'd send the ball skittering across the gym. "I don't think I've met Dr. Cox. It's a shame he doesn't like you though. You're very nice. I liked how you stood up for Shelby yesterday."

"He's got friendship issues, but I'm trying to cure him of them." Blair nodded. "Not a problem, I like turtles. So what's the next step in the dancing at Caritas plan?"

"Not sure yet," Willow admitted. "Though I was thinking of asking Marty if he might like to lend a hand to the cause. He seemed interested in it when he was on radio last night. Way more than Veronica who clearly has no imagination."

"Marty's a good choice. He helped out lots on the vampire protest." Blair grinned. "Veronica really isn't all that bad."

"People were protesting vampires?" Willow asked. "I mean, I suppose I get why, but still. That seems unnecessarily mean."

"No, we were posing as People for the Ethical Treatment of the Undead or PET-U." Blair grinned and bounced. "Helping the differently-alive get the same rights as everyone else."

"Oh!" Willow brightened. "Well okay then. I mean not that I'm for all soulless evil killers getting the right to bite without say-so, but still. Some vampires can be very nice and thoughtful in spite of that."

"Right on." Blair grinned. "And even if they are all soulless evil killers, they still have rights."

"Except for Angel," Willow said. "Who is souled and nicer because of it."

"Angel is the exception." Blair agreed. "Speaking of which, I wonder if Bel would have better luck with people believing he was nice if he changed his name like Angel did?"

"He might," Willow said. "You wouldn't think two letters would make that much of a difference, but whoo boy do they affect the stress levels. At least back in Sunnydale."

"I wonder what's the not-evil version of Belthazor?" Blair mused while he stacked balls.

"Maybe something without the Z?" Willow suggested. "The Z can be a little intimidating."

"Let's see...Belthawor? W's are a lot less intimidating."

"Possibly, but now it sounds like he has a cold," Willow said. She thought about it. "Belthamor? It's positive. It indicates wanting more of him."

"Phoebe might be offended by that prospect. Belthajor is too gutteral." Blair thought for a moment. "Maybe Belthasnor? It's a two letter change but it's effective in making him seem harmless. He's just a guy who appreciates a good nap."

"He might think we're implying he's boring," Willow pointed out. "Oh! Belthasoar? Small change linguistically speaking, but it implies he's going to new heights."

"Oooh...that's a really good one, Willow!" Blair bounced. "It also implies a connection to Angel, with the whole flying aspect, and I know that they like each other."

Willow smiled proudly ~~even as she killed her comment notification~~. "Thanks, Blair! I guess sometimes I do have a way with words."
