fandomhigh | How to Blow Things Up

Aly had set up the main campfire with an assortment of bombs running the field from the classic bombs used in movies to less sophisticated devices.

She waited for everyone to arrive then started speaking. "The last few classes, we've talked about how to blow things up. Which is, admittedly, a lot of fun and also what the class is about. Today, however, we're going to talk about what happens when you don't want the bomb to go off. Disabling explosives is a hugely dangerous task, and in general, it's something you want to call in an expert to deal with." She grinned. "But really if there's one thing Fandom teaches you it's that when you need an expert, one usually can't be found. So today we - and by we, I mean you - are going to work on disarming explosive devices that won't cause quite so much agony is you get it wrong."

Gesturing to the assortment of bombs, she started discussing bomb disposal techniques including the use of a pigstick ~~because I love this word~~ and the ever-popular cutting of the correctly coloured wires.

"Now the trick here is that these devices aren't bombs. But if they are disengaged incorrectly, they will explode." She grinned. "I hope you wore clothes that can get paint on them. If not -" she pointed to a box "-there are some lovely and very fashionable smocks to put on."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Otherwise, pair up and have fun."

[OOC: More information on how this will work is in the OCD threads which ~~I am puttng up now~~ is up like an up thing. Not dirty]

As it says...

Setsuna is carefully taking her usual, translated into Japanese notes, reading over them to retain the knowledge better. She really wanted to make sure she did this one properly....

Neil had decided from the outset that very very detailed notes in this workshop were a good thing and so he was quite focused as he listened to the lecture.

Annette took very detailed notes.

Johnny tried to take careful notes on everything Aly was saying. He also frowned when she mentioned the paint and made a note in the margins to remember to keep his leather jacket clean.

As disturbing as it might sound, Billy had not recieved the in depth training in disarming bombs, as he had in making and using them. So he was taking detailed notes.

Luke was taking ridiculously detailed notes.

With his brow furrowed in concentration, and his tongue hanging halfway out, Sokka paid very close attention and took very detailed notes.

For once, Z could be found to be taking careful, comprehensive notes.

Inara took many very careful notes, complete with pictures.

Ami was taking careful notes, and trying very hard to not look at Billy.
