How to Blow Things Up: Period 2, Week 1

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Blue hair still bright, Aly waited for the class to assemble  in the clearing she'd chosen for today.

"Morning, all," she said with a grin.  "For those of who who don't know me, I'm Alianne of Pirate's Swoop.  Feel free to call me Aly, if you have a need to be formal, duani is also acceptable, but the first person to call me Miss Aly gets things thrown at them.  The class is How to Blow Things Up.  Hopefully explosions are acceptable to all of you-" she grinned at those in her Revolutions class - "Because we're going to make a lot of them."

"But not quite today.  Today I want to get to know you and talk about a few important things before anything gets blown up.  First of all, not all of our classes are going to be in the Danger Room.  We're going to be working with real explosives with the real possibility of people getting hurt.  That means that if we're working with them and I tell you to do something, you need to do it immediately.  No questions, no what-ifs, no counterpoints, get down or get out of the way or stop what you're doing." 

"If you think that's going to be a problem for you, that's fine, but you need to go find a new class now."

"Secondly, this is a class about explosives - C4, hand grenades, TNT, the like.  We're going to have a class on magical ways, but outside of that , if you have special abilities that allows you to blow up things - or set them on fire -" she glanced at Zuko if he was there "I'd prefer the focus stay on the more chemical explosives."

"And finally," she began passing out what looked like basic floorplans of the school.  "For the last class, you're each going to design a strategy for blowing up the school.  I realise the idea is a bit passé after our visitors a few Saturdays ago, but let's pretend it's not the case.  Take the floorplans, take a look at them, and keep the project in mind as the workshop progresses."

She paused, watching the class.  "Now that that's out of the way, why don't you all introduce yourselves - even those I've already met, yes, and tell me a bit about yourself as well as your familiarity or experience with making things go boom."

Rikku bounced out of her chair and saluted. "I am a goddess of explosions. Big booms, little booms, I can even mix them up and get new and interesting different booms. I used a Blessed Gem just to get back from an alternate reality dimension which I so shouldn't have been in but that's a long story and I won't do it again. I have grenades and frag grenades and silence grenades but the really good explosives aren't grenades, they're powered up gems. And I have one bit of dark matter that I think could make the whole island go boom if you set it off right but I haven't tried 'cause that'd be scary. And I like the island. And I stole a grenade from Deadpool when we were sparring him and I juiced it up with a popsicle stick but I didn't realize it would blow his leg off and I apologized. It's okay, he was kinda proud of me I think? That's 'cause he's the best mentor ever. But I don't know what C4 is and I really, really want to, because I am low on supplies and Rin always sells me budget grenades and not the good ones. I hate that, you know?"

And then she sits down again, musing happily about her summer term and how it is possibly the best thing in the history of ever.
