Carolyn's lip curled as she regarded Jacob with the kind of look that suggested that something abjectly repulsive was standing before her. Throughout her stint as a prefect, Carolyn had had to deal with an abundance of different faces. The difficulty that this presented in terms of remembering specific faces, however, was not an issue when it came to Jacob Rockwell.

Although he did run into trouble every now and then, he was not a notorious repeat offender. The reason Carolyn wanted this ignominious student to be anathematised by the rest of the student populace was simple; he was no army hero, he was a supercilious moron. Perhaps he wasn't a vocal bragger, but even his attire screamed pretentiousness to her as she glared at the dog tags he was wearing and refused to be without. She knew that people like him loved the attention of being different and were very eager to exploit that.

Unfortunately, her sentiments towards Rockwell would not be suffused to the rest of the students as he was not the social pariah between the two of them.

"If you call me 'Lynny again," she started, breaking the long and tense silence. "I'll kick your teeth down your throat."

It always amazed her how even other students would talk to her in a friendly manner or engage in a facetious, verbal jousting match as if the two had developed some kind of rapport. Either they had entertained the possibility of a friendship, or the detentions simply needed to be harsher.

"Kitchen duty from 6am to 9am. Toilet duty from the end of class to 8pm." she said tersely. "This is the part where you go back to your room, shut up and reflect on what a waste of space you turned out to be."

Carolyn turned on her heel and left haughtily, nodding in acknowledgement at the prefect who just passed her by.

Hugo, the prefect who was supposed to watch the gate from 1am til 2am, took up his position and gave Jacob an apologetic shrug.

Whilst she rarely felt sympathy for late-comers, and especially the group of failures she had had to deal with today, she did feel an infinitesimal pang of guilt for her treatment of Mable. The detention would still be on, of course, as Carolyn never reneged on punishments.

Thinking that it would be prudent to check on Mable and inform the nurse of her patient's detention situation, Carolyn made her way through the White Mage guild and gently opened the door to the infirmary.

"The fuck?" whispered Carolyn in surprise upon seeing Avery, sitting cross-legged and looking exhausted and thoroughly lost. "You better have a good excuse for being in here."

The curfew requires students to be in the Academy by 10pm and in their dorms by midnight :)

"The Guardians have no authority here." retorted Carolyn coldly. "Propitiations and pantomine won't help you, by the way. You're still getting a detention, regardless of your heroics. Next time the three of you want to get into fights, do it in the afternoon. Since I'm the prefect here, I'll take her to the infirmary."
Carolyn placed a firm hand on Mable's shoulder and steered her towards the gates which slowly creaked open, allowing the entire group passage into the grounds.
"I'll see the two of you in the kitchens at 6am tomorrow, that's where you'll be serving detention." she called back to Leo and Ashlynn. "If you don't show up, you'll get a week's worth of bathroom duty. Now get to your dorms."
Still with a guiding hand on Mable's shoulder, the two traversed the cobbled, winding path to the White Mage guild and entered the imposing building; the periodicity of their footsteps as they made their way to the infirmary emitted the only sound in the otherwise silent corridor.

Considering our posts are about a quarter of the size, I think the length was decent enough

Do you want to respond now, or should we keep going?

Carolyn felt her temper begin to rise at Ashlynn's insistence to stay on that archaic, human vehicle. Biting her lip to prevent herself from insulting the rider even further, she reverted her attention back to Leo.
"Wanderer thugs?" repeated Carolyn mockingly. "A group of Wanderers kidnapped this idiot," she gestured at Ashlynn with her thumb. "A rag-tag group of would-be heroes was formed and you all got your asses handed to you by, I repeat, Wanderer thugs?"
Carolyn shook her head and laughed out loud, wondering exactly how much effort the boy had put into this obviously concocted alibi and exactly how credulous he believed Carolyn to be.
"I don't have time for your bullshit stories; you'll all be serving detentions. Anyway, how the hell did this happen?" she asked coolly, staring at Mable's blood-soaked clothes. "Where's the wound?"

Before she knew it, Carolyn was accosted by two late-comers. The leer on her face dissipated as she scrutinised Mabel's condition, feeling a modicum of sympathy calm her. Her equanimity, however, was immediately punctured when Leo finished speaking.
"What? Are you kidding me?" demanded Carolyn, aghast. "Shut the fuck up, kid. You're not getting through here until you tell me exactly what happened."
The low growling of a motorbike signalled the arrival of yet another student. Carolyn sighed heavily, looking up at the helmet-clad Ashlynn.
"And here's the third stooge, just in time!" she announced caustically. "Get off your bicycle and come here before Curly and Moe forget how to breathe."

Scenario #2

Under the gaze of the night sky, twinkling stars dispersed through the inky blackness, Carolyn assumed her position outside of the gates: as the clock had struck past 10, curfew duty had now begun. Carolyn, a long devoted votary of the Prometheus Academy, was put in charge of admonishing late-comers until 1am. It was a solitary duty and solitude itself was something that Carolyn had become quite familiar with. Over the epoch of her stay in the Academy, her authoritative and domineering attitude had ruffled many feathers and she found herself occupying the mental 'avoid' lists of several students.

Carolyn, being a sentient and nuanced being, could not possibly deny that the lack of company that marked her life was difficult. However, that same lack of company allowed her to reflect alone on beautiful nights like these. Although she had gotten used to it by now, she still treasured these moments of isolation where she could be alone with her thoughts. The infrequency of company also allowed her to appreciate company when it was present and prevented her from becoming completely socially inept.

However, the objective of the night was not to fraternise. She was not here to be the Saint guarding the pearly gates; that predisposition was to be assumed before curfew struck. Midnight portended the arrival of the mad and vicious three-headed dog, Cerberus, that guarded the gates to hell.

Chortling at her draconian imagination, she folded her arms and leaned back against the towering, ebony gates of the Academy, gazing intently at the horizon for stragglers ineluctably heading towards detention.

We'll have to sort some times out since you're in Australia but sure, I'd love to do a scenario with you. You could find a way to join in the new Scenario?

Are you really under the impression that those acts of violence went without the permission of the other RP'ers? I'm sorry, I'm not really sure what to say here. You're kind of stating that you're leaving because I'm, ostensibly, an egomaniacal godmodder who gets off on brutalising other people's characters whilst they sit by helplessly and watch the overbearing GM ruin everything.

That's really not the case; everything was co-ordinated with them (and with their full encouragement, by the way) to provide the basis of a real threat against the Academy and its students,

Please notice the difference between the injuries that Dark, Jade and Ashlynn received as opposed to the injuries that Jacob did. Notice how the attack placed on you was left open-ended but the others didn't have a chance to counter. That's because they knew exactly what would happen and had even planned it with me.
