[CT] Was Going to Punish Some Kids, but Then...

[Tamara Sulik]

Tamara had already shoved Franck out of her mind. As she told Guy, if she didn't hear of a student much, it must mean that he was following the rules and she never had to deal with him. Guy had to know the students after all, or pretend to, since he was the head trainer. She might have a list of every student and their room but unless they caused trouble, she generally was not bothering with them. The other, louder part of the students gave her enough work like this.

Tam had thrown the possibility that Guy had been a troublemaker as a joke. Then again, if she could understand that one chose to do drugs or fight a lot, it probably was Guy. He had enough playing against him. She stared at him when he agreed. She had an air of disbelief in her face. “I never know when you’re serious,” she pointed out. Drinking and smoking... and seducing teachers. She was not able to picture Guy as a junkie. A drunk, yes, a flirt, well that was debatable, but not a junkie. Which was why she said that. She supposed it might be best for her not to know when he was joking or not. “I was more the girl with the bad reputation, even if I had not down half of what they accused me of doing.” Was it her fault if she started high school with more breasts than some of the girls finishing it? But teenagers were idiots and big breasts had to mean being horny and the fact Tam was not scared to kiss your crush in your face if you pissed her off only added to the reputation.

Anyway, she didn’t have the time to think much about it as they had to do their job here, dealing with a very high kid. Tam rolled her eyes, letting out an exasperated sigh as she watched him stare at her breasts without even trying to hide it. He was not even talking to her. As if it was not hard enough sometimes to have them stare at her eyes in their normal state. She snapped her fingers. “Hey, you look at my eyes when I, talking to you,” she told him. He startled a bit but he did try to do as she said. His gaze did wander down a few times though.

Tam never really heard about weed being useful for one’s power. As she thought it was all about control, you’d think it was even less appropriate for them to take some. Except maybe the really nervous ones. There were a few she’d sip valium in their drink if she could. She stared at Guy, unable to believe the student was falling for it so easily. He didn’t even both explaining what type of power he had and why weed might be good for him. Not like she expected there to be a good reason for it anyway. “I can’t believe you’re that dumb,” she said as the student. Seriously, she thought that trap was more obvious than the one he actually stumbled in before. There were big and flashing signs telling him to watch out and yet he fell right into it.

She didn't have the time to think much about that because another student showed up, scaring the first one. That second one was staring at Guy and before anyone decided to do something stupid, she walked to this other one and tried to grab both of them. None missed their shoes so there was still at least one more out there, running in the woods with nothing on his feet. “I think we should bring them back to the camp before we think of something, what do you think Guy?” she asked, stepping on a foot before one of them chose to say anything. No need to have them ask if there were six other dwarves around here and if she was Snow White.

Guy simply shrugged at Tam's comment regarding his sincerity. He knew full well that he could sometimes be difficult to read, especially considering that he so often used sarcasm and dry humor and what have you. Nonetheless, he was capable of buckling down when need be. He just didn't particularly think that "need be" counted in this particular since.

"Oh, disrespecting a staff member! That's another punishment," said Guy, chuckling. Like these hooligans hadn't already gotten into enough trouble without adding the relatively light punishment of "disrespect" to the list. Strangely, it didn't come up nearly as often as one would think. Maybe most of the student body just liked and respected Guy, or maybe they just knew better, since he already could suppress their powers and what have you.

At least Tam got hold of their latest victim, and seemed to have paralyzed the other. Guy looked from one to the other, trying to remember how many they'd encountered at the fire. He wanted to say three, which left the one missing the shoe as the last, but there could have been as many as five different students there. He somehow doubted they would've missed quite that many but, well, things had been hectic.

"Yes, we probably should. Though it is rather tempting to just throw them into one of the traps. I hear there are these wonderful pits that are actually hidden..." Guy looked around for a moment, as if one of said hidden pits would just open up before him. Around mutants: anything was possible. Guy figured he'd just be accompanying Tam and some more willing students back to the campsite soon.

Tamara couldn’t be blamed for not knowing when Guy was serious and when he was only joking. The tones he used for both situations were so similar that it seemed hard to tell at times. Not to add that she could see him doing some of the crazy things he might only joke about doing. The man should smile more, maybe it would be easier to tell then when he was serious and when he wasn’t. Although, it might be weird if she had to see him smile all the time. No, she preferred her Guy imperturbable. She would be too shocked if he became a bubbly man.

She stared at him as he pointed out the student was disrespecting a staff member. He was, of course, but she could point out it was a form of disrespect he was not the only one to do, and those others did not always have the excuse of being high when they did it. She shut her mouth, of course. In comparison to smoking weed and carrying so much, checking the breasts of a staff member was quite a minor offense.

She didn’t have the time to wonder how often Guy had to deal with people disrespecting him as she had to make sure one wouldn’t try to do it just now. The man had remarkable control over his temper, she was not worried about it, but she saw no reason for those kids to aggravate their case. She was a little worried about the other one, the one missing his shoes. She wouldn’t be walking in the woods without any on her feet, you never know what you might step on.

This time, Tam didn't need someone to tell her, she knew Guy was joking. The students of course, protested that it was cruelty and whatnot. “Come on,” she simply told them as she had them walk back towards the camp, a smirk on her lips. No traps opened in front of them but a nice surprise awaited them. “Looking for this?” she asked the student, showing the shoes she still carried. The boy was tempted to run but he also saw his friends with his precious shoes and it would seem his brain managed to work enough in his foggy mind to understand it was best to stay there. “Well, that one was easy. I hope there isn’t anyone else we have to go after,” she said to Guy, turning her head towards him as she talked.

Truthfully, Guy found the whole excursion to be borderline hilarious. This was going to be one of those things that he rehashed over drinks for years to come, and he certainly wasn't going to let Tam forget it any time soon. Thankfully, she performed remarkably well, helping him to corral the various students and what have you. The whole troupe of them headed right back to camp, and Tam soon managed to bribe one with a shoe.

"I think this is it," he said, looking around, "and if not, I suppose we'll find in the morning. Or someone can go do bunk checks," Guy waved at the cabins, then paused for a moment. He smiled, looking up at Tam with a raised brow. "I suppose that would be a dorm monitor's job, now wouldn't it? Though I'd wager we could pass it off to someone else, as we've managed to corral these."

He gestured at their merry little band of gathered stoners. They all seemed to be moping and none to eager to run away. Apparently they'd wasted all their energy in one go, and it wasn't like they had any Doritos around to recharge with.

[Tamara Sulik]

Tamara looked at the little gathering. They looked quite the pitiful trio. She did hope they had been only three, as she didn’t want to fear where any other stoned kid might have run off. It was not a question of them getting wasted under her watch but more one of safety. Drugs, she could handle, but if she found out that one of them injured themselves badly while she was supposed to prevent this, she would never forgive herself. Strange, since only a few years ago she never would have cared much about them. This job really started to rub off on her.

Guy seemed to think it had only been the three of them. She frowned when he joked (?) about finding out the next morning. She hoped he did and believed it after he suggested checking the cabins. She even nodded until he pointed out it was her job. Well, technically, she supposed it was. It was her job at the school to make sure they were all back to their dorms past curfew. She also figured she had been sent here to do pretty much the same thing. But she couldn’t help the sigh when he pointed out that she should be the one checking. “No, it’s alright, I’ll do it. I’ll come back to you once I’ll know if we need to start a search or not,” she told him. It wasn’t like she would have to do anything she didn’t know how to. Besides, she needed to look on the bright side, she had far less rooms to check.

[Guy LeGrange]

Guy nodded. "Right, you make sure to do the last checks, I'll get the right information here, and we'll make sure everything is in order." With that being said, Guy looked over the sad trio. They really did look forlorn, and Guy couldn't help but feel for them slightly. They'd just wanted to enjoy themselves, after all. Not like they'd really done any harm. They just needed to be smarter about it next time.

Guy sighed one more time before looking up at Tam with a "what can you do" expression. He then walked forward, gesturing for the trio to follow. They did, and Guy led them away, determined to get the last bits of information and get them laying down somewhere where they could rest out the rest of their high. He'd probably make sure they even had some food available; this was supposed to be enjoyable.

Always good to know that he could just walk away and leave responsibility in someone else's hands. But he'd learned to trust Tam already, and he didn't see any reason to act any different.
