[.... That doesn't sound good. At all. Damian winces before slowly heading towards the Headmaster's Office.

Once he arrives, Damian hesitantly opens the door and awkwardly stands in the threshold:] You called, Headmaster?

[wrnpcs]

[He looks up from his desk, a serious expression on his face as he sees Damian standing before him.]

Ah, yes. Please, Cadet Razem, take a seat.

Yessir. [That bad feeling? Just went from bad to worse. Damian quickly takes a seat and nervously shuffles his feet.]

[wrnpcs]

[Once Damian is seated, Cid clears his throat before speaking.]

Now, I'm sure you're aware of the earlier Fire Alarm which went off during class in the afternoon. After searching every part of Garden, however, we found no fire to be present within the school. This, of course, leads us to the conclusion that someone must have pulled the fire alarm with no signs of a fire-- which is a serious offense.

... I believe so, sir. [he's slowly putting two and two together and well. He doesn't like what he's thinking.] But I'm also confused. Why would you tell me this?

[wrnpcs]

[Cid heaves a small sigh; he seems like a good kid.]

We've checked all the security camera footage in the school around the time the Fire Alarm sound-- and after analyzing it thoroughly, I'm afraid it looks as though you were the one who triggered it.

Seriously? [Damian stares at Cid with slightly disbelieving eyes] That was me?

Slag... What does this world's alarms look like? [it's a legit question: Neo-Gotham's alarms have evolved to a ridiculous amount.] I'll accept the punishment, sir, but... I really had no idea.

[wrnpcs]

[The Headmster's expression softens somewhat; it looks as though the cadet really hadn't meant to make the offense and that it's a genuine mistake. But even then, there has to be some punishment to remind him to be careful.]

The Fire Alarm looks like so; [Swiveling the monitor of his computer around so that Damian can see, Cid replays the brief clip where-- sure enough-- it looks as though Damian tripped over something that managed to trigger the Fire Alarm.]

Since it seems as though you really didn't intend to trigger it, we'll go with a less severe punishment-- you'll do an hour punishment walk around the lobby.

[Damian leans forward, tapping his chin. That's pretty incriminating evidence-- and he hadn't realized Garden had actual security footage! Hrm... he'll definitely remember that in the future.]

Thank you sir. [he nods] I'll serve it right now if you so wish.

[would've normally made a quip about this world and its primitive tech, but. Even Day knows this isn't the time or place for that.]

[wrnpcs]

[Cid nods, giving Damian a small smile.]

Thank you for your cooperation, Cadet Razem. Just remember to be a bit more careful in the future so such incidents won't occur again.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[He nods politely as he stands up and dusts himself off] I'll try to be more careful. I know it's no excuse to be unacquainted with this world's technology, but... it was my mistake.

I'm sorry this had to happen, sir. [With that, Damian turns to the door to leave. Might as well serve his punishment while he can and then he'll complain about it. A lot.]
