Detention, The Danger Shop, 09.08.06

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

When the students walked into the shop, they would see The Tick standing at a podium that probably looked vaguely futuristic back in the mid-1990's: a rounded white plastic frame and clear plexiglass. There were lights and smoke in the background. Behind Tick was a large sign with the following names listed:

Teddy Altman
Seely Booth
John Connor
Hikaru Hitachiin
Kaoru Hitachiin
Jude Lizowski
Jamie Madrox
Peter Pevensie
Setsuna Sakurazaki
Ranma Saotome
River Tam
Naomi Wildman

When everyone was in the shop, the Tick pushed a button on the Danger Shop remote and spotlights started swinging around.

"Hello, detentioned students! I am The Tick, and I'm not only your Dean of Students, but today I am also your host for Detention Gladiators!" Tick stayed silent as a vaguely patriotic-sounding theme song played for thirty seconds.

"Today you'll be competing in four challenges that will test your mind, body, heart, and ability to think like a crazy person! Hopefully by the end of our time together you'll have learned your lesson - or in Naomi's case set a positive example since she did nothing wrong - and will be ready to move on to the next phase of your lives, without rule breaking!"

"And remember, the Shop is set up with extensive safety protocols! You're completely safe! Explosions won't be real, brutes won't actually hit hard, and the sheer power of the criminal mind won't overwhelm you!"

"SPOOOON!"

[OOC: You do not need to know who any of the hologram NPCs are, but you might enjoy it more if you do. Here's some info on them. This should be crack crack crack and more crack, for the record. Detention will run from approximately 9 AM EST to 5 PM EST, but you're free to go when you've completed all of the tasks. If it takes longer, I'm fine playing longer if you are. :)

I'll be around all day and available on AIM if you need to talk to me: bugofjustice.]

Activity 1: A Test of the Heart!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"First off, let's meet our participants! Everyone, step forward and tell us your name, your year, why you're here, and then look deep down and tell us what you can do to prevent yourself from being given a detention again! Other students can share their opinions on how you can refrain from getting detention as well! Don't be shy!"

Seely stared at the Tick as he spoke. "I'm Seely Booth, I'm a junior, and I'm here because Peter Pevensie has a short fuse and hit me in class. So I hit him back. Obviously, to aviod this happening again, next time he hits me I shouldn't hit back if there's a techer nearby."

"Hey, you look like a student I had last year!" Tick said, easily amused. "He hit people too, but usually for Justice! Usually."

"Remember, Seely, there are security cameras throughout the school and trooper officers around town. You might be best off not hitting anyone since the person who started it would be sure to get into trouble anyway!"

"I'll remember that." Because it was always a good idea to know when you might get caught.

Naomi gulped, looking like she'd rather be anywhere but there, "I'm Naomi Wildman, I'm a freshman ... I'm here because my name was called out in the detention lottery on Friday ... if it's a lottery, I doubt I have any power to prevent my name from being called out, so ... that's it I guess,"

"Very true, Naomi! But you can be a shining beacon of hope to the rest of your fellow students here! You're dealing with adversity here! Show them how well you can deal with it! Be the lighthouse on the Shores of Righteousness, guiding them towards the Port of Honor!"

Naomi hadn't thought of it like that, she was trying not to feel freaked out by the fact that she was here on detention, "okay,"

John lazed in a chair. "I'm John Connor and I'm a senior. I'm here because I questioned a robot and redecorated a bit with non-standard streamers. ANd to prevent this, I'd have to do something about the cause, such as lowering it into a vat of molten metal or find a reeeeally big press." JOhn's in such a happy mood since the TPing.

"No attempting to destroy teachers," Tick said immediately. "That could get you expelled."

"My name's Peter Pevensie. I'm a junior. I'm here because some people find it necessary to insult ladies.

Seely coughed. "Really? I could have sworn it was because you hit me."

"My name is Jamie Madrox and I'm a freshmen. I'm here because I asked if one of my teachers if he enjoyed ice cream," Jamie announced. "In the future I will no longer ask him about ice cream."

Re: Activity 1: A Test of the Heart!

"Probably a good call indeed," Tick said.

"Uh, I'm Jude Lizowksi and I'm a sophomore. And I'm here 'cause I felt the need to redecorate the school." He jittered from foot to foot. "I can avoid detention again by not getting caught. I mean, uh, not doin' it again."

Re: Activity 1: A Test of the Heart!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"That's the spirit, Jude! Stop with the vandalism and get on with Righteousness!"

"Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin reporting here. We are freshmen, we're here because we gathered an army to celebrate the first week of school and we can prevent this by....running away next time." They grin widely.

"Not exactly the lesson I hope you'll take from this, but it would prevent future detentions," Tick said.

"My name is Setsuna Sakurazaki," she said; she would have sounded a little cross and bitter if she hadn't known what the detention was, but she was confused. If she was understanding this correctly, this seemed to her far less of a punishment and much more an opprotunity to get extra training in. "I'm here because I did something I shouldn't have done. I can prevent myself from being given detention by not doing it again."

Re: Activity 1: A Test of the Heart!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Well said, Sakurazaki!" Tick beamed.

Ranma looks very lost.. He's never been to detention before. But this doesn't seem like the way he thoght it would work. "I'm... Ranma Saotome. I'm a freshman... I'm her because I lack the will power to say noTPed the school... If I don't want to go here again I could just... not... TP the school."

Re: Activity 1: A Test of the Heart!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Excellent reasoning, Ranma!" Tick said.

"I'm River Tam. I'm a junior. I got detention for sticking my tongue out at the Ethics teacher. I'm not likely to do that again."

Re: Activity 1: A Test of the Heart!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hello, River! That is probably advisable!" Tick said.

"I'm Teddy Altman. I'm a sophomore and I'm here because I TPed the school." Teddy glared at the ground. "I can prevent this by not getting caught next time learning to control my issues with authority."

Re: Activity 1: A Test of the Heart!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hopefully you'll learn how to control that starting today, Teddy!" Tick said.
