Detention
Just in case, I wanted to get out there exactly what detention entails.
What to expect when you have detention
How it works is like this. The students who have detention aren't allowed to post or comment anywhere else other than the detention post over the weekend because ... well, obviously they're locked in the detention room. ;) Due to the various time zones for the players, the weekend begins when the teacher or principal puts you in there and ends when they let you out.
The detention room is impossible to escape, so don't get any funny ideas. It is also highly dangerous, so luckily for you we certainly won't let you go in there without a bag of tricks. Unluckily for you, that bag of tricks -- literally, a pillow case full of odds and ends -- could contain anything from a spellbook and guns (useful) to a box of tapioca pudding mix and a dead pigeon (not so much).
What happens in the detention room is as spontaneous as you can imagine, since the interior consists of a compact dimension with constantly changing geography and a tendency to sprout up the most odd and unusual things. It happens in the rest of the school, of course, but you won't find anything as tame as gremlins and flesh-eating zombies in detention.
The detention room is viewable to any and all students who wish to visit and watch from a specially equipped observation deck found up the stairs next to the detention room door. Refreshments and popcorn are free for anyone who wants them, but anyone who wishes to taunt those in detention with various foes and troubles will have to pay up with something vital to their person. A possession, a secret, or even the occasional dead baby joke will be acceptable.
For an added bonus, the staff member who ordered you off to detention has free rein to throw any and all problems they might desire in your path. Rain of frogs, rain of squirrels, rain of drunken midgets ... and, you know, assorted other disasters not restricted to various small creatures dropping from the skies. ;)
And for the record, at no time do I want the weekend to end with anything remotely resembling this on my desk:
Dear Principal Connor, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole weekend in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a pushy little brownnosing wannabe Yalie ...
... and a drunken two-headed alien buffoon ...
... and an Irish annoyance with an equally annoying aspiring-vigilante brother ...
... a screechy schrimpy state alchemist ...
... and a psychotic unsouled vampire ...
Does that answer your question?
Because then my question is, "Do all five of you little bastards want detention for the rest of the school year?" And in that case, the answer is, "Oh, hell, yes."
EDIT: Oh, and the principal now has voicemail.
