Zoe's Office - May 27

[bigdamnprincipal]

When Zoe came into her office Saturday afternoon, she was expecting to find things exactly as she left them, with a possible new stack of paperwork sitting on her desk.

What she wasn't expecting to find was underwear of various sizes and colors scattered about the place.

"You have got to be kidding me." With a sigh, she turned around and headed for the PA system to make an announcement, and then came back to her office to wait for the victims to arrive.

[open to anyone who wants their boxers back. you can handwave that you came and got them if you want.]

Cameron knocked on the doorframe trying not to look too embarassed or too much in a hurry even if he was both.

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Ah, Mr. Mitchell," Zoe said, smirking. "Have you come to get something?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

That whole not looking embarassed thing was not working as he could feel even the tips of his ears heat up.

"I believe so, ma'am," he said as he recognised some of the boxers spread around the office.

[bigdamnprincipal]

At least he seemed properly embarrassed, Zoe noted.

"Do you have any idea how your personal items came to be in my office?" she asked.

Cameron swallowed and realised that telling the principal about the Stickbug-Meerkat rivalry was probably a bad idea.

"No, ma'am. Someone's idea of a joke?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

"I think that's easy enough to assume. It is rather funny," Zoe admitted, still smirking. "I hope there aren't any problems going on down at the cabins?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron shook his head. "No, ma'am. The cabins are fine. We're all having a lot of fun. Maybe you should come join us for a while," he suggested.

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe had to give Cameron credit - he was an extremely brave young man. "No, that's all right. I'm not really the cabin living type. I leave that to all of you. But it's good to know that nothing harmful is going on there."

"The graduated students are doing a fine job looking out for us," he said even if he wasn't all too sure as it wasn't like they'd taken any steps yesterday with the prank. And maybe it wasn't so much brave as stupid. "Maybe you could come eat marshmellows with us one evening?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

"I sincerely doubt that you can speak on behalf of all of the students in inviting me to come by the campfire one evening," Zoe explained. "I don't think that sort of interaction would be welcomed."

When Peter arrived at Zoe's office, he bowed deeply. Not deeply enough to hide his embarassment, but deeply.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron tilted his head. "Possibly, but we're kids so what do we know?"

Then he spotted his thundercats boxers right on top of the lamp and squirmed. "I should probably," he motioned around.

Peter was somewhat amazed that he hadn't had to come to the Principal's Office before this. And even this time, he wasn't here because of anything he did... Well, not directly, at least. Maybe the transfer to Fandom really had helped him out.

Peter knocked on the door.

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe couldn't help but laugh by this point. "Yes, you probably should. And keep better track of your underwear from now on, all right?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe did her best to not laugh. "Good afternoon. Have you found that you're missing something?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Come in," Zoe said, taking careful note of the fact that it was another Stickbug coming into her office. "Are you the rightful owner of any of my office decorations?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter cleared his throat. "Erm, yes, my lady, and to give my apologies for your being subjected to this." He gestured to encompass the situation.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

The laughing definitely didn't help with the blushing. "I can assure you that this is the first time my underwear has escaped, ma'am. I'll try keeping it on a leash," he promised as he hurriedly started gathering boxers.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Err, yes, ma'am," Peter said. "I'm sorry for both of our sakes that this happened. Um, can I just, err, take mine, or is there some sort of bizarre paperwork...? I hope there's no paperwork. Please say there's no paperwork needed to get my underwear back."

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe glanced at Peter with a smirk. "Hmmm, paperwork. Now that's a smart idea. I should have thought of creating some sort of form that would enable me to hold your underwear hostage. Because clearly, I'm enjoying having it all around that much."

[bigdamnprincipal]

"There's nothing here I haven't seen before; I was married once," she replied reassuringly. "Although I have to say, some of the designs are rather entertaining. Do you have any idea how these ended up here?"

John totally doesn't show up at Principal Washburn's office. Nope, he doesn't.

Someone else does, in a cunning disguise.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I really wouldn't know, my lady," Peter said innocently. "I'd assume someone was playing a prank of some sort."

[bigdamnprincipal]

A light snort escaped before Zoe managed to regain her composure fully. "Hi there. Can I help you?" she asked.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

Pitching his voice higher and adopting a southern twang, she says, "Hi there. I've come to pick up something for a friend of mine. He says they're here and, since I was in the neighborhood, I offered to pick those things up. Would that be okay?"
