Detention is Hungry Work

by **Steve Jones** » Sun Feb 03, 2013 8:11 pm

Sometime after the drama in detention, Steve hit the cafeteria for some chow. Now he sat at a table, biting into a slice of pizza.

I wonder how Haley's little chat with McManus went.

Tommy came in next, pondered, and ended up taking a seat next to Steve.

"Well, that wasn't so bad, now, was it?"

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 4:45 pm

"Until everyone went all crazy anyway," he answered.

by **Tommy More** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 5:42 pm

"Hrm, yes. I take it that isn't typical American high school drama?"

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 5:46 pm

He laughed a little. "It was until the power blowup."

by **Tommy More** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 5:58 pm

"Yes, I'd say so. Well, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 6:00 pm

"About the arguing or the poor power control?"

by **Tommy More** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 6:10 pm

"More the latter. You don't strike me as much of an arguer."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 7:47 pm

"I don't?"

by **Tommy More** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 8:08 pm

"You don't. I mean, you're built like a jock, but you're not doing that whole.... I dunno, American Jock thing?"

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 8:18 pm

"Tried it. Didn't take," he answered with a slightly rueful expression.

by **Tommy More** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 9:42 pm

"Eh, what what? Don't look so down in the dumps, young squire."

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 11:03 am

"It's nothing," he insisted.

by **Tommy More** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 1:16 pm

"Oh, come now. You don't think all us Brits are that gullible, do you?"

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 2:14 pm

"Let's just say I had bad taste in friends."

by **Tommy More** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 3:46 pm

"Ah, yes. Well, I suppose that's America for you."

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 4:44 pm

"And what is that supposed to mean?"

by **Tommy More** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 4:55 pm

"Oh, you know. Cliques and gangs and the like."

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 5:04 pm

"Yeah, only America has those," Steve said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

by **Tommy More** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 7:46 pm

"Oh, it's very much different over here, at least if you went to public school."

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 7:55 pm

"Don't tell me public means something different here too," Steve groaned.

by **Tommy More** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 8:34 pm

"What do you mean, 'too'?"

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 8:51 pm

"Chips and pants."

by **Tommy More** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 9:38 pm

"Don't blame us for your bastardization of the Queen's English."

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 11:31 am

"It's just... one more thing to get used to."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 2:37 pm

"It isn't all bad," Tommy said, softening a tad. "I mean, once you understand.

They're called 'public' schools because the first schools were all religious, or trades. They were schools anyone could go to -- well, anyone with enough money, at least," Tommy chuckled.

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 2:57 pm

"Makes sense I guess."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 3:04 pm

"Anyway, yes, we have cliques there, but it's...well, it's different," he said, diplomatically.

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 4:50 pm

"I'm sure it is. Different country and all."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 4:51 pm

"An older culture. More...mature."

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 4:56 pm

"I'm so not getting in a country-off with you," he chuckled.

by **Tommy More** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 6:02 pm

"Well, of course not. You'd lose," he said, matter of factly.

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 7:46 pm

"If you say so," he smirked.

by **Tommy More** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 7:59 pm

"I do."

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 8:06 pm

"That was the headmistress posing as you in the middle there wasn't it?"

by **Tommy More** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 8:48 pm

"Yes, it was. Shifters are...

...well, they're a little odd."

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 9:09 pm

"So... she wanted to see how we would behave without knowing she was there?"

by **Tommy More** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 10:34 pm

"You'd have to ask her, I'm afraid, but I would imagine it was something along those lines."

by **Steve Jones** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 10:49 am

"Good thing she left the room before the insanity."

by **Tommy More** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 3:05 pm

"I'd say that ended up being a rather bad thing, wouldn't you?"
