Ethics [Thursday, December 21th, 6th period]

As everyone arrived, they could see Krycek had the classroom set up like an arts and crafts lab, with a table for each pair to work on and supplies of all sorts awaiting their use. There were egg cartons, cotton, peanut butter, foam, dowels, boxes of all sizes, glue, tape, and many many other materials.

"Welcome to the last part of your Ethics final," Krycek said, passing handouts to every couple and single parent. "You'll be dropping your eggs off a building, but don't worry, you have the chance to build a buffer, so they hopefully don't go 'splat' when they land." Krycek seemed very business-like as he detailed the assignment.

"So have at. Once you guys are done building, we'll head up to the roof to test them out. There will be a discussion question following the experiment and then you guys are free. Good luck and happy finals."

[OOC: Yeah, dubious relation to Ethics, yadda yadda. Mod whatever materials you might need, within reason.]

Up on the roof!

It's your turn to drop off your egg-baby - hope you weren't attached or anything.

Tyler and Jack took Bob to the roof. "Go in peace," Tyler said, while Jack gave the egg in its box a solemn pat.

The parachute caught the air, and the box floated gently to the ground. When its "fathers" went down and opened the box, he was in one piece.

"I think he enjoyed the trip," Tyler suggested. "And now, dinner." But it was clear he was joking.

River held the egg, wrapped in a pillow with springs attached, over the edge. "Ready?" she asked Alanna.

Alanna nodded eagerly.

River dropped the egg. It fell and bounced off the ground a couple of times.

"It bounced. Think that would have been a problem?"

"No, that's just the springs. Besides, a boiled egg is slightly elastic."

"Huh, never knew that." Alanna stepped away from the edge of the room. "Let's go see if we have scrambled eggs or not."

Down on the ground outside, River unwrapped the pillow. The egg was intact, although there were a few cracks visible.

"Aw." Alanna sounded disappointed. "So what was the point of this whole exercise?"

"Trying our patience?" River suggested.

Alanna considered this. "Nah. I think I spent all of twenty minutes on that thing, and ten of them were watching the water boil."

"Good point," River said. "But perhaps it just didn't work? The trying our patience part."

Isabel turned to Bel. "Ready?" she asked, holding their makeshift container over the edge.
demonbelthazor: (Bel is contemplating something)

Re: Up on the roof!

[personal profile] demonbelthazor 2006-12-22 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Ready as I'll ever be," Bel said, peering over the edge of the roof.

Isabel smirked, "Watch out for meteors." Then let the container go.
demonbelthazor: (Bel is determined)

Bel warily looked up at the sky, then dropped his gaze to watch the container and its egg baby cargo fall.

The carton dropped, but Isabel was able to quickly get a mental hold on it. Anyone on the ground would have noticed the carton stop rather abruptly about six inches from the ground, then land gently.
demonbelthazor: (Bel is looking to his left)

"Race you downstairs," Bel said, heading for the steps. He wanted to make sure Benjamin was fine.

Re: Up on the roof!

Isabel laughed and followed. "He's fine Bel. I promise!"

Being a single parent Maia grinned down at the water cushion, peep/twinkie filled shoe box that held her egg baby. "Hope you make it safe and sound little dude." Maia leaned over the edge, hanging her hands down she let go and watched the box drop.

The heavy duty tape seemed to help cushion the ziplocks from breaking to hell on impact. In fact Maia didn't even see any water coming out of the baggies, she guessed the tape had held it all in.
