Sentencing: Community Service Edition

Community Service Group Therapy

The training grounds had unfortunately sustained fire damage thanks to an arson attack. The fire spread to burn the grass, some brush and trees and there are skeletons of the frames left over from tents where it burned. A few straw practice dummies were also singed in the process, but they have lived to be beaten on another day!

The damage could have been much worse, of course! Thanks to the fast acting and thinking of some of Aldrips finest, the fire was contained and extinguished. They have saved this gathering place of skill and story sharing from complete ruination, but now it needs to be restored to its former glory.

Six Chosen have been found guilty of various crimes around the city this month, and so their task is a restoration project of the grounds. These Chosen will show up at the grounds in a timely manner (or else someone might need to retrieve them for duty) to start their tasks. It will be obvious who they are as they are outfitted in tacky yellow work coveralls with reflective stripes; this will be over whatever normal clothing they may be wearing.

The six community service Chosen are: Jinx, Silco, Beta, Echo, A2, and Fandaniel. Surely they will all get along and work hard on this task and not be difficult about it, right?

Well, to ensure that they complete the restoration project are their team of wranglers enforcers who are responsible for saving the training grounds in the first place! The heroes of Aldrip have been provided little badges from Jerry that designates their authority to oversee the tasks at hand for this restoration project.

Their task is to see that the job is completed and done well by however means necessary except they are not allowed to participate in the activities. They need to oversee their wayward charges and are exempt from recourse for whatever it is they need to do to convince the Chosen, and the native population and other Chosen may drop by to observe the work and maybe cheer everyone on (or heckle).

The eight community service enforcers are: Gadriel, Hiei, Kurama, Fauna, Morph, Rogue, Kuwabara, and Scott Summers

The tasks that need to be completed are:
• Laying new sod over the damaged grass areas. Alternatively, hauling in gravel stones to fill the areas.

• Tree trimming to remove damaged hazardous branches

• Remove damaged tents and then construct the metal skeletons of new ones before adding canvas material over them so they are good as new. How-to instructions will be provided (think IKEA-type)

• Building bird nests to replace those lost in the fire. Think of the children!

• Gardening! This place needs a spruce up and what better way to do that than enhance it by constructing raised garden beds. All the materials are provided including plants.

• Garbage collection. You know what to do. Take up your bag and extendiarm and get out there to collect the rubbish.

NOTES

• The six convicted Chosen cannot wander away from the training grounds during their shift or else they suffer from physical ailments.

• The enforcers may work one-on-one with a sentenced Chosen, game plan between each other or double-team sentenced Chosen into doing their tasks.

• Threads do not need to be completed by July 9th for success or failure on both teams. They do need to be started and in progress by this date.

• If the rest of the community wants to stop by, they can do so. They are not allowed to assist in either the tasks or the enforcement.

“I will not.” Beyond the fact that he cannot - which is something he won’t be finding out because he simply will not help - there is very little will left for things like “helping” if this is what he gets in return.

He could lift the entire pallet without much effort or thought, considering his demonic strength on top of the constant training, but he is, quite simply, an asshole.

To him she is perfectly clear, even if she’s barely loud, ears keen and made more attuned by the jagan as they are.

“Doing you humans favors only brings me more chores to do. If this is some attempt at sympathy save your energy. I do not have it.”

Red eyes only then slide to A2, huffing out a sound that is almost a laugh.

“You cannot and will not.” Unfortunately this is not a napoleon complex, just what he assumes are the rules. Hiei does not particularly care about victory or failure over just getting it done and over with. Though the more annoyed he gets about this in general, the worse he will elect to behave.

“Your coddling keeps her weak. What is your benefit from it?”

When Aloy had been mean, Beta had snapped back without hesitation, entirely impulsive. For all their fights, it had come from a level of security. Even knowing so little of Aloy, she knew she wasn't going to be at risk from her if they argued. With an unknown like Hiei, she ducks her head, the apology almost out of her mouth before A2 steps in. It feels nice having someone stick up for her, but at the same time-- Beta's eyes flick between the two with concern. "A2, you don't need to." She says quietly.

Being called weak makes her visibly flinch, and she curls in on herself a little bit. "It's - It's fine, I'll just find something easier."

[abandonware]

Being asked to do something by a human, even one she considers a friend, should be cause to obey without question. But A2 does not obey. Instead, her jaw tightens. Her hand clenches into a fist at her side, and she takes a step forward. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Beta flinch, and it makes her even angrier.

"I don't have to benefit from something to do it. And anyway," her chin tilts up in insolent challenge, "I wasn't asking your permission. So why don't you just stay up there and mind your own goddamn business?"

[jaganshi]

Not that Hiei would let literally anyone know, but the fire demon wouldn’t dream of being an actual threat at the moment. At least not to Beta.

His eyes roll at the defiant tip of A2’s chin, reminded of how many demons he’s done away with for the same amount of insolence. But at home he was Mukuro’s second in need of defending his position, here it would be stepping on ants for barely any reason. He did not want to start with a precedent and not only hear about it from his entire household but also end up sentenced on top of it.

“Unfortunately this has been made my business. If you expect pity speak to Scott or Kuwabara. So far as I am concerned, do what you are most efficient at so that we may all be done with this pathetic little chore list as quickly as possible.”

He huffs a sigh as if this is all so greatly inconvenient to him because … it is actually.

“I have no interest in being punished for stomping on inconsequential ants.”

[nobetawedielike]

Worms, ants. It's always the same. She was always just something tiny and worthless under someone's foot.

"It's not the worst thing I've been called. Let's just go." She doesn't know many insults, and certainly not many she'd be willing to throw around for risk of provoking anyone, but she almost calls him a douchebag. Almost. She'll get to use it one day.

It's amazing that A2 isn't intimidated by Hiei, especially when she can barely get herself to look at him.
