Terry, max and Dana were heaed to their first class ' which was Gotham history 101. Terry found the class incredibly dull, he really didnt need to know much about what Hamilton Hill did as mayor during his tenure. The late nights working for mr wayne diudnt help his sleep schedule either. " As class began he was soon asleep. woken only by a rough shake from the teacher ' McGinnis! is my teaching lesson worth so little of your time that you sleep through it ?' NO , mr west.. I.. ' Perhaps i should send a ' failure to perform file to your mother.. that would be.. your 10th such file , mandating an automatic month's detention. '
But as the teacher reached inside his coat for the file, and terry groaned in resignation, the door opened, and Stripetail entered carrying a clipboard with names written on a paper " Forgive my intrusion Mr West, but I'm looking for a number of students in your class." Mr West turned and looked at Stripetail,. a broad surprise coming over his face ' A-are you the wizard running the games?' yes I am.' Stripetail said, and there was a series of hushed whispered among the gathered class, combined with quiet chuckles and laughter from the jocks. ' Every student had seen the promos for the games, and every kid at school could use an extra few thousand creds." I have 4 people from your class Mr West scheduled for the first batch of interviews . In alphabetical order by first name - they are Chelsea Cunningham, Dana Tan. Maxine Gibson.. and lets see here... Terrence McGinnnis?." " thats Terry, um.. mr ..' Stripetail, lord Stripetail. " I was just about to discipline Mr McGinnis here for falling asleep in my class .. again ' the teacher said. " but if you have him scheduled for a meeting with you.. " the meeting wont be long, I assure you. 15 minutes at the most. Hopefully once they've sampled some of the doughnuts, snacks and coffee I've brought with me, they'll finish the class stronger than they started. That would go especially for Mr McGinnis here, i think he might need a double cup... ' Stripetail chuckled as Chelsea, Dana and Max gathered their things and headed to the door. Terry soon followed carrying his bag and inwardly breathing a huge sigh of relief ' automatic detention would tick his mother off to no end, and very likely cost him his job with Mr Wayne as detention ran until 10 each night." follow me please ' Stripetail said to the four of them. ' are you really a wizard?' Chelsea asked a haughty, snobbish voice. ' Yes i am Chelsea, and no, that doesnt mean I'm going to pull coins or diamonds out of your ear. That is a mere trick, a sleight of hand. " Stripetail said as he headed down a hallway towards a conference room he had reserved for the meetings. " Your father is a art collector, correct?' Chelsea started." I. uh.. yeah , he is.. He and I don;t always get along though. My tastes are different from his. lets say' Chelsea said. " You're not the first teenage daughter to clash with her father, my dear, and you wont be the last ' Stripetail said. "Now lets see here. you wanted 10000 creds an hour to be part of Laffalympics cheer squad?" geez Chelsea! 10000 creds an hour?' Terry gaped. ' Thats a ton of dough. " i have expensive tastes Terry, you know that.' Chelsea said. "Don;t get greedy Chelsea ' Dana scolded ' Yeah 10000 creds an hour is almost what they pay professional hockey players Chelsea. " Max said. now now, kids.. enough banter. ' Stripetail said opening the confer5ence room door, revealing a conference table that was covered with a wide variety of snacks. doughnuts, muffins, hash browns and steaming cups of coffee were all laid out. "Please help yourselves." Stripetail bade them sit and grab some of the food, which they did. Max grabbed a trio of hash browns, Terry took some muffins, Chelsea doughnuts, and Dana took 1 of each. The coffee was rich and tasty. " i think discussing jobs over food and drinks works far better that simply sitting in a chair, in front of someone at a desk reading through your resume and trying to pick you out from 50 other candidates, and trying to keep your emotions in check while they find out you had a 1457 on the exam. ; Thats a very low score ' Max said. ." yes, my dear I know. I'm a wizard after all. " Ok, then perform some magic for us.. like ., I don;t know..create a creds card for each of us.. with.. er,. how many creds guys?' She asked around . " 5000 creds' Terry asked.' 20000" tan chimes in. ' no. 100000 creds " chelsea said. 100000 creds on a card for someone your age would certainly raise a lot of eyebrows, and would almost certainly get the police involved. So No on the creds card idea. " striopetail crossed his arms. ' how about... a nice large pizza' he gestured and an enormous pizza dropped onto the table. cheese welled up from a hole the crust. while pepperoni, sausage, peppers and olives floated in a sea of cheese. the four students all gaped at the huge pizza that had appeared from nowhere. ' Dan cautiously reached out a hand and took a slice and stripetail slid her a plate. she took a bite and made a murmuring sound ' wow.. this is good ' she said between bites. Terry ., Chelsea and Max quickly grabbed slices and began eating.
