fandomhigh | Revolutions: Week 7, Period 5

Aly looked just a little gleeful as she waited for students to arrive in the Danger Room. Actually substitute very for just a little and that's where she was. If she was embarrassed about the weekend, it wasn't showing. Once everyone arrived, she spoke up.

"Inside this," she said, holding up a small clay globe, "is blazebalm. It's an explosive made with magic from my world. Once the blazebalm touches oxygen, it ignites. It's quite a bit stronger than C4 for those of you who want to make the comparison." She turned and threw the globe far away from the group of students. When it hit the ground, it exploded in a flash of fire and light.

She turned back to the students. "I thought about giving a midterm today, but doing the first of our two classes on explosives sounded a lot more interesting to me." Aly grinned. "Hopefully it will be for you too. Normally when you learn about explosives, you have quite a few lessons on theory, safety, and chemistry before you even get to think about touching actual material. We, however, have the Danger Room so you'll be able to ~~play~~ experiment a bit today."

"I know quite a few of you already have explosives experience," she glanced at ~~if they were present~~ Charlie, Sam, Tyler, Aeryn. "If that's the case, a lot of this is going to be review for you, and I apologise. If you'd like something a little more difficult, I'm sure we can arrange it. For now, if you could keep an eye out for those who are less experienced."

"We're going to deal with improvised devices today, and two in particular, but first you do need to know a bit about the theory," Aly gave a concise but throrough lecture on explosive materials and the science behind them. When she was done, she didn't quite say 'now that that's out of the way,' but she was obviously more interested in the practical aspects of making things go boom.

"The two explosives we're going to work with today are two improvised explosives. You don't always have access to military material and you definitely don't always need it. One of the most common explosives in this word - and also one of the easiest to make is anfo - fertiliser and fuel oil. It sounds simple but a just a ton or so in a the right place could blow up a cargo ship and the harbor it's sitting in. The other is less an explosive than a weapon. Molotov cocktails - half gasoline, and half motor oil - you've probably already heard of them if your from this world. They're easy to make and can do a lot of damage especially against gasoline engines or wood structures."

"There's hundreds of other kinds of improvised explosives and we're going to talk more about tactics in another few weeks. What I want you to do today is to make anfo into a bomb and also make the Molotov cocktails. After you have them ready, you can blow things up."

[OOC: ~~Please wait for the~~ OCD is up. All links go to wikipedia so the FBI shouldn't break down your doors. More explanation in the OCD threads. If for any reason, your character is upset by the whole 'blowing things up' plan have him or her talk to Aly to let her know or ping me OOC.]

"Well then maybe you shouldn't have left what essentially amounts to a signed note across his chin," Isabel bit out.

He shook his head. "I like you, Isabel, but this is none of your business. I get being pissed that I hit your friend, but I'm not going to suck up to every pal of his looking to throw a threat around or yell at me to make themselves feel better."

"The last thing in the world I'm looking for is for you to suck up to me," she hissed. "I could give a crap about me. But you hit my friend when he couldn't defend himself. And yes that does piss me off. Especially when I thought you were better then that. And for what it's worth?" Isabel said, smiling coldly. "I don't make threats. I act when I have to."

"He defended himself fine," Kawalsky retorted, ignoring most of what she had to say. "But fine. Go ahead. Act. Get it out of your system or get out of my way so I can do the class assignment."

He asked for it, Isabel thought. "Fine. Go do your assignment." She waved her hand then turned and walked away. "Try not to get the important bits damaged," she called over her shoulder.

Kawalsky shook his head again and turned away himself. Then he felt an odd sensation. He looked down and panicked, shaking his arms. His clothes were discintegrating! "What the hell? Gah!" He tried to shake the feeling away, but all he managed to do was end up with his clothes gone.

Thankfully, Isabel had kept his underwear intact.

Unfortunately, it was laundry day, so he was stuck in the middle of the classroom, surrounded by his classmates, wearing nothing but his ~~Ninja Turtle~~ Samurai Frogs underwear.

From across the room, Isabel snuck a peek and snickered.

Aly had been paying attention to the spat but didn't see much need to interfere. Until there was a student standing mostly naked in her classroom. When they were supposed to be making things explode.

It was really that last bit that annoyed her.

She raised an eyebrow at Charlie then glanced over to Isabel. "Anyone want to tell me why it's suddenly clothing optional?"

Charlie was suddenly very uncomfortable, largely because he'd had a nightmare about this several times. Really, who hadn't? Maybe not the alien discintegrating your clothes part, but the in class in your underwear part? Sure.

"...no."

"Very well then," Aly quirked her lips and considered. "Guess you better start with the assignment then. I realise it's pretty basic for you, but if you could share your wisdom with some of the others, I'd appreciate it."

Kawalsky did not glare. Well, maybe a little. Mostly though, he squared his jaw and decided not to retaliate, since that was what had gotten him in this mess in the first place.

He went to make a molotov cocktail.

Aly had moved from annoyed to amused at the attempts not to glare.

She watched Charlie for a second ~~not dirty omg~~ before moving on to talk to Isabel.
