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.]

Mr Mental's face brightened slightly. "Ha. Let's see if you can ward off my superior Rochambeau Dueling skills, girl! It's time for Mr Mental to make a comeback!"

Sakurazaki nodded gravely. "Only time will tell."

And threw out what could have been either very tilted paper or Vulcan scissors.

Mr Mental put down rock. "And that is?"

The fat blades of her Vulcan scissors moved a bit, snipping air. "Scissors. Man. You're on a roll."

"Ha! I told you that you couldn't defeat me, child!" Mr Mental taunted. "Fear the power of Mr Mental!"

Mr Mental jumped the gun and put down rock. "I'm on a roll!"

Sakurazaki had paper ready. She figured that her use of the word roll would put to mind other round-shape objects in Mr. Mental's head and had rather expected he'd throw rock. And while she was going to placate his ego, she wasn't going to actually let him win if she could help it.

"Last chance," she said, throwing the final stone...well, rock, anyway.

Sure enough, Mr Mental chose scissors. "Nooooooooooo!"

"You fought well, Mr. Mental," Sakurazaki said, giving her opponant a small bow of her head. "There is no shame in losing when your attempts are so valliant."

"Yeah, whatever. Go away," Mr Mental sulked.
