Cackling and More: An Introduction to Being a Mad Scientist [July 10th, period 3]

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

The students had been handwavily sent notes that the Mad Science class would be taking place in the Danger Shop beforehand. Once they arrived, they'd notice that the place had been set up to look like a dark and foreboding laboratory in the basement of a large building. There were desks, but they'd been pushed to the side of the smoke filled room, leaving a foggy space in the middle. A man busied himself with a table full of test tubes at the front of the room.

Curiously, the teacher's head and shoulders were completely covered in shadows, despite the many fluorescent lights in the room. His glasses glowed white, and when he smiled, his mouth glowed a weird red.

"Ah, good afternoon students," he said. "My name is Professor Souichi Tomoe, and I'll be your Mad Science instructor this term. I formerly taught at Infinity Academy in Tokyo, but there were a few ... issues there that led me to move here for a bit."

So he blew up a wing of the school while experimenting in his real lab. Big deal.

He took a step forward, and the shadows parted to reveal a normal looking man with white hair and odd eyeglass lenses.

"So then, tell me about yourselves. Name, age, interest in mad science, previous experiences in dealing with monsters." That last one was a completely innocent question.

He listened as the students answered, before waving them off to the sides of the room.

"So, as a warm-up activity, today we're going to play Twister!" He motioned with his hands, and the smoke cleared from the room, revealing a large plastic Twister mat already layed out on the floor. "Evil Twister. Anyone who fails the game and falls to the ground will be forced to do karaoke."

Prof Tomoe turned back to the main desk, and pulled out a clunky karaoke machine that looked like it might have been made somewhere around 1994. There was a microphone coming out of the side, a couple of tape decks out front, a black star hastily painted on the top, and a mid-90s computer hard-drive connected via wires to the other side.

"This karaoke machine contains all the evilest music ever recorded," the professor explained, "from enka to country, to Celine Dion, to Morning Musume, to someone I'm told is named 'Fergie', and much, much more. Wh- If you fail at Twister, you are to hit the Random button, and perform whichever song it picks for the class."

The shadows fell back around his shoulders, and he grinned a bright red grin. "Good luck."

In collapsey style, please. You don't want him to blow up another lab.

Introduce yourself

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Tell the professor all about yourself. He may be taking notes on this.

"Yasutora Sado," Chad introduced himself simply. "I'm, uh..." He had to think about it for a moment, "seventeen. I'm interested in all science, including mad, and I've beaten and fought lots of monsters. Mostly Hollows. Some trolls."

Kabuto smirked slightly. "Yakushi Kabuto. I'm eighteen years old, and I'm a ninja specializing in the medical field. I don't deal with 'monsters' often, unless you count the Lord Orochimaru's and my experiments." He shrugged, pushing up his glasses so they flashed in the light. "My world tends to be somewhat lacking in the way of actual monsters."

"Zack Addy," he said. "I'm sixteen, nearly seventeen. I'm interested mainly in forensic anthropology and engineering and I really think 'mad' scientist is a misnomer. I got kidnapped by trolls once."

"My name is Donatello, I'm 16 years old, I do machines am mainly interested in engineering, but I dabble in pretty much all areas of science whenever I get a chance," he said, rather excited to be in this class so far. "I suppose the last experience I had with 'monsters' would be the mutated leader of the Foot clan. He was a nasty piece of work."

"Lucas Wolenczak, 17. I'm a specialist in artificial intelligence, but I have broader interests in computers and engineering as well. I was attacked by samurai fish warriors once after I opened a portal to 1816 and was temporary detained there."

Andrew grinned at the professor and waved to the class and stood up. "Hello everyone, my name is Andrew Wells. I'm sixteen. Going to be a junior this coming year. I come from Sunnydale, California." Andrew paused, wondering just how honest he wanted to be. "I play the pan flute and the didgeridoo, and sometimes I summon demons and attempt to bend them to my will." He nodded and sat back down.

"My name is Mizuno Ami" Ami said with Japanese formality of a little bow. "I am fifteen years old, and from Tokyo. I have battled monsters before in Tokyo, with my... friends" She did not know this manyet, but she did not feel the need to tell him who she was. "My interest in Mad Science is the same as my interest in any science i supposed."

"Edward Hyde." He wanted to give his own age, as far as his personal existance went, but decided to stick with Henry's. "I'm fifteen years old, and I owe my existance to medical science. So I've very interested in it, espcially unusual and unconventional applications." He grinned. "And I've had to deal with some monsters at Fandom. Ghosties and such."

Evil Twister!

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Mod your own game of Twister, and decide where you move, and how well you do. When If you fall onto the mat, go down to the next thread.

Re: Evil Twister!

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Oh, crap. Chad sucked at Twister. Probably wasn't very good at Evil Twister, either. He looked for someone who might be courageous enough to play a game with him that could end up having them crushed underneath very uncomfortably.

Re: Evil Twister!

Donnie looked around for someone to play Twister with, though he was sort of skeptical that anyone wanted to have a hard shell land on them, should he happen to fall.

Re: Evil Twister!

Lucas was not good at this game at all. He managed to get the first few moves in, but was screwed over by a particularly awkward right foot green that led him to slip and fall.

Sulking slightly and rubbing his shoulder, he rolled his eyes and headed to the karaoke machine.

Andrew eyed the Yasutora guy and quickly decided to wait for another person to partner up with for Twister. Andrew stood there with a half-smile on his face and tried to make eye contact with some of the smaller people in the class.

Ami was actually very good at Twister, being very bendy, but this was EVIL twister, and so eventually she failed.

The Evil Karaoke Machine of Doom

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Don't look for any good music on this. Each song on here is eviller than the last.

Re: The Evil Karaoke Machine of Doom

Kabuto refused to play Twister, so he went with karaoke instead - per orders from the Professor.

Lucas took the microphone and pushed the Random button. "You have got to be kidding me. They banned this song in eight different countries by 2012 when they found out it messes with brainwaves." He huffed a sigh and started 'singing' the song. And by singing, he was really talking with a bit of a tune thrown in at times.

"What you going to do with all that junk?
All that junk inside your trunk?
I'm gonna get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my hump. This is ridiculous.
My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump,
My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps.
Check. It. Out."

Ami loved Karaoke. And did not care about the song. So she picked something random, and sang with gusto. And a happy smile.

Talk to Prof Tomoe

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

He's over at his desk, alternating between poking at the test tubes, and snickering at the class. He'll answer any questions you have.

Re: Talk to Prof Tomoe

[konoha-flash.livejournal.com]

Arashi had looked up when Professor Tomoe's class was to see if he could give his 'teaching buddy' any sort of a hand.

He was a little surprised to see the Danger Shop turned into a creepy forboring lab though. "Uhh... Professor Tomoe?"

OOC

This is the very first class I've ever run at FH. Whee, first timer jitters.
