Some details on the Dorm Wars and the school itself, a rough timeline of how long we're expected to be here, that whole hokey-sounding promise of getting a wish granted when we graduate...
[she sets her sandwich down and frowns, bringing a finger over to indicate one of her notes. it's kind of a useless gesture, because rita's note-taking penmanship is pretty much illegible.]
This part kinda bugs me, though. If you do something bad enough to warrant disciplinary action, you won't get expelled, you just won't get to graduate. So even if you try to get kicked out, you still can't leave.
Well, I've never really been to school, so you might be better equipped to guess than I am. What normally happens to troublemakers, other than expulsion?

[like they're... board game pieces, rather than people.]
But we don't have a choice.
no subject
I hate to admit it... but for now, yeah. There isn't much we can do other than play along and see what they've got in store for us.

Until the other shoe drops.

I don't know about you, but I don't plan on sticking around here for a whole year, even if time doesn't move without me.

[she's eating pizza, though. might as well get her money's worth while she's here.]

If the people running the show don't show up soon, then we can start, I don't know, lighting fires and seeing if we can smoke them out.

I'm not sure I care about this 'wish' business, but I'd rather not end up imprisoned, or anything annoying like that.

Detention as a jail cell.
