Introduction to Mad Science, week 4
By now, the students should have been familiar with the routine. Evil laboratory, bad lighting, kooky mad scientist at the front of the room, etc. This week, the desks were back, and Professor Tomoe had set up a dusty chalkboard at the front of the room. Written on the chalkboard were a number of different sentence fragments, including: "DEVISE A CUNNING PLAN", "FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION (BUT VERY LIKELY TO HAPPEN)", and "FIND A GOOD TARGET", as well as doodle of pure heart crystals, and a half finished game of hangman down in the bottom corner. A coffee pot had been set up on a tripod on top of a lab burner, and was starting to brew, filling the class with the warm scent of coffee.
"Good afternoon students!" he proclaimed. "Today, we're having a bit of a change of pace and doing more thinking than acting. Many mad scientists fail because they do not properly think out their evil schemes. Oh sure, it seems fine enough to build a giant monster and send it out to destroy the conveniently abandoned warehouse district, but meddling law-abiding folk can foil those plans with incredible ease. Instead, I prefer to do things on a more personal scale."
He circled the third sentence fragment before turning back to the class. "The best plans are made by deciding what kind of target you wish to go after, find a person who seems pure of heart that fits into that category, merge a daimon egg with an item related to what they do, and then let your monster run amok and destroy property while also attacking your victim. For today's class, I want you to write me an outline of what kind of person you want to attack, and both how and where you'd pull off your plan. I want you to be thorough, because you'll be putting this plan into motion. And seeing how there's a 90% chance that every plan will end in dismal failure, try to prepare for that too."
He took the coffee pot off the burner and poured himself a cup. "And for next week, I want you to bring in item that goes with your plan. Bring something of your own, buy it, steal it from someone else; I don't much care where you get it from. But choose carefully, as we're going to do something special to it."
And with that, he laughed evilly for a solid minute and a half.
