Chester Miller Secondary School is a school with a bad reputation. The kind of school you don't particularly want to put on your resume. It is the general assumption in the community that most juvenile delinquents attend Chester Miller, most bullying occurs at Chester Miller, and that, in general, if you can afford another school, you should probably send your kids there. However, upon being admitted to the school grounds in order to fulfill their assignment, the heroes will find that it outwardly seems no different from any other public school. Exasperated teachers, bored students. The standard fare, really.

They will also be subject to quite a lot of judging, adolescent eyes for the duration of their stay. How will you go about reaching these kids?

You can be? [He repeated, his tone submerged in doubt.] I haven't seen that for quite some time now. Your behavior so seemingly well.

[Chilton, however, turned heel -- disengaging the direct staredown as if such a thing couldn't be on his itinerary. His tight shoulder told a familiar story: he expected Gideon to simply follow.]

I want to address the students who have truancy issues. You could probably relate to that much.

I was well-behaved for two years. I don't think one... minor transgression suggests that that be forgotten.

[ He tilted his head, smiling mildly and following as expected. Nothing else to do. ]

I hope you aren't expecting me to chime in.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm expecting the opposite, in fact. You're to sit and behave, and not because I'm asking you to do so. [Gideon already made it clear that such instruction would be ignored, if it came from his former doctor.] But because the government hardly needs much reason to consider you a danger to society. Especially if I felt it imperative to inform them of your minor transgressions.

[Plural.

Chilton knew of the deaths Gideon would cause, and he used the plurality as a reminder that he knew.]

[ Gideon leered, saying nothing in immediate response but wanting to get his disdain across. Whatever Chilton was referring to, of course, Gideon was not fully privy to. How he hated that, having information held over his head with no ability to confirm. Where was Alana Bloom? ]

None of which were committed here, Frederick. You may have trouble convincing them when there's no urgency to the threat. [ Not that there might never be. But so far...

He changes the subject: ] Are you good with kids?
