Game, FH Gym, 1 p.m. FHT

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

The gym was ready for the game assuming nothing crazy happened during detention, with a shiny floor, clean new nets, and two perfect basketballs lolling about. Everything was ready for the rematch between the blue and gold gremlins. Last time, gold had eked out a victory; this time, it was anyone's game.

Play ball.

[OOC: Wait for OCD. This post is open throughout the day; a post for the second half will be made when we're ready for it.]

Susan saw what was written Willow's shirt, and stopped in mid-wave to stare. "Good lord." She waved again, a bit more weakly than before.

Willow, oblivious to any problems with her shirt, frowned worriedly at her hankerchief, thinking maybe Susan didn't approve.

Recovering, Susan waved once more, and made a mental note to have another Little Talk with Peter. And possibly Willow. Possibly, at the same time. Because really.

Willow waved back, still looking worried.

Right, then. At a break in the action, with Peter not doing anything on the court, Susan made her way down the bleachers and walked over to Willow. "Hello, Willow. Why aren't you in the stands?" And why are you advertising for the 4th Sin?

Re: Audience, 1st Half

"I got detention," Willow said. "For no reason whatsoever! Apparently my name got thrown into the lottery."

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

"Oh dear. I do think that's a very unfair practice," Susan said with sympathy. "So, you're here as part of your detention?" She kept her eyes away from the shirt. There really was no good way to broach the subject....

Re: Audience, 1st Half

Willow nodded. "I had to help pick balls and make a speech and listen to a really long whistle and now I'm stuck helping out the wrong team."

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

"I'm so sorry. You can't switch?" Susan looked around for the coach, but didn't see him nearby. "And at least you're not missing Peter's game, but it's very unfair to you."

"My transcripts!" Willow said, looking woeful. "No college is going to want to touch me now!"

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

"That can't possibly be right," Susan said firmly. "It's a unique circumstance of this school, and surely they'd let you explain in the college interview. Truly, Willow. Speak with Principal Washburn about it, if you need to."

Finally unable to stand it any longer, Susan just has to ask. "About your shirt...."

Re: Audience, 1st Half

"I got it from Mr. GOB," Willow said. "I don't know where he found it, or if I'm supposed to keep it when we're done."

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

"Really." Susan's lips firmed. "Was wearing that a condition of your Detention? And you're-- well. You're fine with that?"

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow nodded. "He had a whole selection for us to choose from. This seemed the best of the bunch since at least it's true. You don't want to know the mean things he said about turtles."

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

Susan boggled, speechless for a moment. "Well, yes. I simply... well. That's very open-minded of you, Willow. And I think I need to have a little talk with Mr. GOB at some point. He can't be allowed to be cruel to turtles with no provocation." She paused a moment, arrested. "Turtles?"

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow nodded. "He's very prejudiced against them. Which is horrible considering that Shelby's endangered."

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

"Shelby." Really, talking to Willow should come with annotations. "Is a turtle, I'm assuming? And why would Mr. Bluth be prejudiced against them? That makes very little sense."

Then again, so did Willow's T-shirt. Perhaps the man had been imbibing his own stock for too long.

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"See, that's just what I say!" Willow said, thinking Susan was agreeing with her. "Shelby's never hurt anybody, and now he's trying to make a good career for himself. If anything I say we should encourage him."

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

Susan took a moment to wrap her mind around that.

"So. Shelby's expressed an interest in a career? In what?"

Because it's Fandom. And she used to be quite good friends with a Mr. and Mrs. Beaver.

Re: Audience, 1st Half

"Right now we're working on coal mining," Willow said, "since it's a vital Virgnia industry."

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

"Well, yes. Of course it is." Susan frowned, then cautiously asked, "Is he a very large turtle, perhaps?"

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"About seven inches in shell," Willow said, demonstrating with her hands.

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

"Ah." Susan felt something in her brain break for a moment, then just reminded herself, It's Willow. "And Mr. Bluth feels that Shelby should not, perhaps, be pursuing this career? How very close-minded of him."

Re: Audience, 1st Half

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"He made t-shirts!" Willow said, indignant. "Imagine if poor Shelby had seen! There was no way I could wear one of those, not even for detention. Besides, Becky's always been very nice to me so at least this shirt is true."

"I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Vartan in person," Susan said, wondering at this again. "Are you taking her class, then?"
