An Introduction to Mad Science

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Once again, the danger room had been set up to look like a creepy lab. This time, tables and chairs had been moved into neat rows, facing a blackboard and a table at the front of the room. A pot of coffee simmered over a heater next to a small stack of styrofoam cups. A weird looking gun-type thing that seemed to be made out of kitchen appliances sat on the table at the front. Once the students had all taken their seats, Professor Tomoe spun to face the class, the usual dramatic lighting shadows in place.

"Good afternoon students!" he said cheerfully. "Today, I'm going to fill you in on the sort of experiments I specialize in, and what type of things we'll do this semester."

He drew a spiky star-like thing on the board and pointed to it. "This is a Pure Heart Crystal. Anyone with a bit of a goody-goody streak to them has one." He grinned excitedly. "But within three of these Pure Heart Crystals, are Talismans. When the three Talismans are found and brought together, they summon a being with enough power to destroy the world."

Here he let out a long, demented sounding laugh before abruptly cutting it off.

"But, the challenge with these is to get the crystals out of the host, preferably without killing them. If it's a dud, there's no reason to keep it. Over the course of this class, you're going to create a monster called a daimon, a type of creature designed to pull out Pure Heart Crystals in a non-lethal way."

He motioned to the gun-like thing. "And this is called a Heart Buster. It was built by one of my--" henchwomen "--assistants as a more direct method of removing Pure Heart Crystals. If anyone would like to see one, I would be more than happy to demonstrate."

He turned his attention back to the class. "Now then, please partner up with another student. I want you to give me a list of five ways you figure out who might be pure of heart enough to be one of the the talisman carriers." His red grin spread from ear to ear. "Surprise me with your creativity."

Take notes on the lecture

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

At this point, you may start to realize that he really is crazy.

Re: Take notes on the lecture

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

Crazy? Kabuto wasn't really sure about the crazy. He rather thought Tomoe was quite brilliant, in his own way.

Andrew heard the word 'summon' and squeaked. This class had some major potential.

Ami listened carefully, and wondered if the Silver Crystal wasthe Princess's Heart Crystal?

Chad was trying to take notes, and he was pretty sure he jotted down what was being said, but... that didn't mean they made any sense to him in the long run.

Crystal? Edward didn't take any paper notes, but he did make a mental note. Henry was rich enough that they didn't have anything to worry about, but this gem sounded like a good bargaining chip.

Find a partner

Pair up, and make a list of five victims hypothetical people who might be pure enough to have talismans.

Re: Find a partner

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

Kabuto rifled through his stack of info cards, not sure if Professor Tomoe wanted a list of people from Fandom, or anyone at all. Because if it wasn't limited to the school, Kabuto already had five people.

Re: Find a partner

Edward peered over Kabuto's shoulder. He might have been a little too far into Kabuto's personal space bubble. "What are those? Cigarette cards?"

Re: Find a partner

A handful of people readily came to mind, but Valentine wasn't all too keen on writing down names for a good grade today. It wasn't entirely far off from handing someone over for blood money, really, was it?
If asked for a list today, it was entirely possible that he'd throw out something good and random, like the names of monkeybirds he'd known.
"Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, and Bob," he muttered to himself, almost amused at the notion. "Unless my partner has something better, that's where my list will stay."

"Hey, you're back," Donnie said, poking at Valentine with a smile.

Re: Find a partner

Andrew drummed his fingers on the desk and looked about at his classmates. He didn't really know too many people at Fandom yet -- at least not well enough to classify them as 'pure of heart'. He's always been a fan of conjecture though...

Re: Find a partner

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami thought about this Pure Heart business. And looked around for a partner.

"Hey, fellow cheerleader," Chad lifted a hand in a waveless wave as he drifted over toward Ami. 'Do you know five pure people?"

Play with the Heart Buster

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

There's enough juice in here for three more shoots. You can try it out on yourself or a willing victim if you want.

Be advised, the Prof will give out detention if all the pure heart crystals aren't put back by the end of class.

Talk to Prof Tomoe

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

He's here to answer all your questions!

And maybe cackle more. It's very therapeutic.

Re: Talk to Prof Tomoe

[dark_slippy_thing]

Valentine approached the professor after class, somewhat put off at the prospect of having to explain his absence last class, but deciding it would probably be best to clarify that he wasn't skipping the class of an obvious insane genius on purpose.

"You might have noticed that I wasn't here last class," he said, not fidgeting at all, honest. "I had a few technical difficulties involving me mostly not existing at the time. It shan't happen again. I think."

Re: Talk to Prof Tomoe

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Prof Tomoe looked over the new student. There was a strange face on this one. Must have been another one of those leftover youma. He really wished the Dark Kingdom would take better care in cleaning up after themselves.

"Yes, I've heard that one before," he said, checking the sheet. Hmph, another one with no family name. "Last class, there were introductions and getting-to-know-you activities, so you haven't missed the important bits. If you give me your name, age, interest in mad science, and previous experience with monsters, we'll call it made up."

He grinned evilly again. "And perform a karaoke number. You missed that activity."

OOC

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Sorry, this class is big on talking and light on action. I promise lots of explosions next week.

Re: OOC

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

I'm going to be gone for about a week and a half, so Kabuto probably won't be in class next week - unless I can get someone to ping him in for me. But he won't be very interactive D: Woe.

Re: OOC

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Gotcha. Thanks for letting me know in advance. :)
