Zoe's Office - June 5

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe sat in her office, idly marking student records as she waited for her requested Stickbug invasion.

The door is open for those who have been summoned.

"They were the work of two groups of friends who enjoy a bit of good fun during the summer," Peter offered with a slight smile as he entered the office. "For the amusement of all and the harm of none."

That was a surprisingly good answer, and Zoe had to take a moment to figure out how to respond.

"Well, I suppose that could be true, if it weren't for the way that the pranks escalated. Exploding cheesecake was not only a waste of food, but it carried the possibility of being rather dangerous."

"Not at all, Lady," Peter replied. "The mechanism was rather carefully calibrated to prevent any harm. Except to the cheesecake of course so I can't deny the wasting of food."

Zoe couldn't help but snicker, despite her best efforts. "The point is, the pranking could have become dangerous if it had continued, and some of the acts taken on by both sides were extremely disruptive. Now, I have some material from the video feeds that show you participating directly in the pranks. Last week, the Meerkats got detention, and I'm afraid that I'm going to have to give detention to you and some of your cabinmates this week."

Peter nodded. "I would like to think that we were conscious enough of our actions to prevent anything too dangerous from occurring, but I certainly accept the punishment without protest. I apologize for any disruption."

"Are you always this polite?" Zoe asked, amused.

Peter raised an eyebrow. "Well, I'm British." He grinned. "But really I've been at Court the past four years, my Lady. I suppose I've picked up the habits."

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Well, keep those habits up, and hopefully I won't have to call you into my office again."

"Yes, my Lady. I do hope so as well." Peter bowed again and left the office.
