How to Blow Things Up: Week 6, Period 1
Aly was torn between bouncing and being very, very serious at this. A few workstations around the campfire were set up with tubes, funnels, different powdered chemicals and what looked like gunpowder. Possibly because it was gunpowder.
"Okay, change of plans for today. What we're going to do is make fireworks," she said with a grin. "We're using live black powder so be careful. This isn't a time to mess around."
She quickly gave everyone the rundown on how to put together Roman candles and falling leaf shells.
Aly grinned. "Now fireworks are useful for a great many things. Amusement. Distractions. They're very good for the latter. Other things that work well for both distractions and ways to annoy people might be stink bombs and smoke bombs. The latter's different from the smoke grenades a few weeks ago just by being a bit easier to make." She pointed to a table where there were quite a few of both varieties. "Try them out. Try them away from the main class please. And as long as you will all use them properly - remembering that gunpowder needs to go in the weapons' locker - you're free to take the fireworks you made or some of the stink and smoke bombs back to the dorms with you." Everyone could have three guesses for what Aly meant by properly. The first two really didn't count.
"Other than that, any questions? Requests for the last class next week?"
[OOC: Apologies for the lame class. It's been a really crap day so far. I'm around but might be slow to respond to pings.Please wait for the OCD is up.]
