Detention - Totally Not Breakfast Club

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 4:48 pm

"Man... this is detention? This is a joke," Steve muttered as he began on his second sheet.

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 4:53 pm

"Maybe they thought that the real punishment was sticking us with Lord Stick-Up-His-Ass out there."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 5:44 pm

As if on command, Tommy walked back in.

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 5:56 pm

Without even looking up, Cal folded the 'appology' letter, then held it up for Tommy to take, still carefully inserting a wire into a staff component.

by **Tommy More** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 5:58 pm

"Finished already, Mister Strong?"

by **Regan Rourke** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 5:59 pm

Regan tosses a ghost-paper airplane at Tommy's head.

by **Tommy More** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:00 pm

Tommy reached up, and improbably enough, caught the paper airplane in mid-flight. Regan could see an odd double-image for a moment where he stood, a sort of blurring.

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:00 pm

Cal just gave Tommy a look, the various sarcastic replies he could give going through his mind. "Obviously."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:07 pm

"Miss Rourke, if I recall correctly, wasting school supplies was rather what landed you here."

"Well then, let's see what we have for Miss Kaltiera, shall we?"

He unfolded what Cal had written.

Cal shrugged. In addition to the previously mentioned start, it went on to very sarcastically liken Steph, and much of the administration to bullies, almost explicitly saying that the apology was forced and insincere, and gave an additional apology for having made her miss her post-class romp with Mr. Gabriel.

Cal, seemingly unconcerned, continued arranging the energy collectors for assembly.

by **Tommy More** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:16 pm

"And what do you expect the response to this will be, Mister Strong?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:18 pm

"Probably more detention," he said with a shrug.

by **Tommy More** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:20 pm

"And what, might I ask, has Miss Kaltiera done to you to merit this particular treatment?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:22 pm

"Look, if she doesn't talk to you, that's not my fault."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:29 pm

"I ask because I anticipate the next attempt is not going to be much better, eh?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:30 pm

"Hey, you make threats to get an apology, don't bitch when you don't like what you hear."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:35 pm

"So what would you suggest?" He said, crossing his arms and quirking a brow.

Regan got the odd blurring again as she looked at Tommy, a different outline of sorts surrounding him, and several presences all around the library, as if she was being watched. This time, Steve and Haley caught a brief flash of this as well.

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:42 pm

Cal shrugged. "No idea. Not my situation to fix."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:43 pm

"I'm looking for a situation that isn't going to have you in detention for an entire semester."

"Much as I might enjoy these little chats of ours."

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:47 pm

"Hey, I'm not the one who threw out a no-win situation. Talk to her."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:49 pm

"Very well."

"And Miss Haddock? As helpful a visual aid as one might have in the form of a Teddy Roosevelt who was enhanced by the Weapon X Program, I do hope your essay itself measures up."

He turned, and made his way out again, shutting the door.

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:51 pm

"What? How did he even see what I was doing?"

by **Regan Rourke** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:52 pm

"There's something freaky about that dude," Regan says, "...I think he might be a Skrull."

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:56 pm

"Cut him," Cal said without looking up. "Skrull blood's supposed to be green."

by **Regan Rourke** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 7:05 pm

"One problem with that idea, genius," Regan says, demonstrating by tossing pencil's at Steve. The ghost pencils sail right through the boys head harmlessly.

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 7:42 pm

Steve was too creeped out to protest the phantom projectile.

"I don't... think Skrulls throw around psychic doppelgangers..."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 7:46 pm

"Psychic what?"

by **Haley Crusek** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 7:49 pm

Haley sighed at her boyfriend, but kept her mouth and mind shut for now. There didn't seem to be much convincing him to just play the game and be done with it.

"The fuck is a skrull?" She asked without looking up from her paper.

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 7:54 pm

"For a second I saw these... presences... watching us. Like outlines of something that isn't there."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 7:55 pm

"Like ghosts?"

by **Haley Crusek** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 7:57 pm

"Yeah, yeah, I saw it too. Probably just one of his powers. He must have powers if he's here and being a douche can't be a mutant ability."

by **Regan Rourke** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 8:00 pm

Kay Haddock wrote:"Like ghosts?"

"A ghost?" Regan says in mock fear, "Where?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 8:03 pm

"You're not half as spooky as actual ghosts."

by **Regan Rourke** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 8:06 pm

"I'll remember that the next time I'm watching you sleep."

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 8:06 pm

"Actual ghosts?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 8:11 pm

"Yeah. Like, memories of dead people. Like her just they don't know they're dead, I guess."

by **Regan Rourke** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 8:15 pm

"In my experience, and I am just being anecdotal here, ghosts pretty much know they're dead," Regan says, "It's kind of hard to forget."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 8:18 pm

"Tell that to the ones Brigid and Vickie and me dealt with." she boasts just a little bit.

by **Haley Crusek** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 8:39 pm

"They're real," she said, grudgingly agreeing with Kay.

by **Regan Rourke** » Wed Jan 30, 2013 8:47 pm

"And I'm just a hallucination?" Regan asks, raising an eyebrow.
