Adavance Courses in Mad Science, September 4th

[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. This course will be a bit broader than the one I offered over the summer, so those of you who are repeating students should be able to acquire some new knowledge this time."

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, explosions, and other unusual things done in the pursuit of the limits of science." 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."

Introduce yourself

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Tell the professor all about yourself. He's dying to meet you, take notes, and plot things later.

Re: Introduce yourself

"I'm Valentine. I thought I might take this class, as it seems to be the only science course in the school at the moment, and the science of this world is still somewhat strange to me. Especially after that whole 'Daimon Egg' thing this summer."

Re: Introduce yourself

Kabuto shrugged, smiling. "I took your course during the summer, Tomoe-sensei. Do you really require me to introduce myself again?"

"I took the class over the summer," Zack said. "I still don't get the 'Mad' part."

"My name's James Sullivan, but everyone calls me Sulley. I'm 16. I thought this was a regular science class when I signed up, but here I am. And uh, I'm a monster."

"I'm Johnny Storm, 17, science has been an interest of mine for a long time." He smirked slightly. "I torched Von Doom, a crazy scientist turned metal, with my Supernova abilities. It was pretty damn cool."

Cher's eyes had been really wide during that whole introduction part.

"Um. My name's Cher, I'm sixteen, and I thought this class was like, Really Cool Science and would fill a requirement."

"I'm Edward Elric, and I wanted to take a science class. I'm an alchemist and I've been studying science and alchemy since I was a little kid."

"I am Victor von Doom, age sixteen. I'm curious as to whether or not there's anything you could possibly manage to teach me that I don't already know. As for monsters, I have little personal experience so far, but I have plans."

Not plans to summon or create any monsters, necessarily, but to face one.

Evil Twister!

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Like regular Twister, but with 20% more Evil! Mod your own game, and decide where you move, and how well you do. When If you fall onto the mat, go down to the next thread.

Valentine had missed the Evil Twister game back in the summer, so this was a rather new experience for him. He did pretty good until a somewhat slippery "right hand green" that wound up with him tying himself in a difficult knot in his coat and falling on his face.

Sulley didn't even try. Well, he put his left foot on red, then took an intentional fall so he didn't have to touch anyone and headed to the karaoke machine.

Re: Evil Twister!

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Zack was rather spectacular in falling onto the floor.

Re: Evil Twister!

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny fell; it was inevitable.

Re: Evil Twister!

[notclueful]

"Um," Cher said. "This isn't really the outfit for Twister."

Re: Evil Twister!

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

Victor played astonishingly well, as would be expected. But then the infernal pointer landed on left foot green and, well, Victor wasn't very happy about that when he got up off his butt.

Ed wasn't bad at twister. But the spots seemed very far apart because he was short. So he fell rather floppily after a few rounds.

The Evil Karaoke Machine of Doom

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Every single song on here is unspeakably bad. Don't look for any good music; you won't find it here.

Re: The Evil Karaoke Machine of Doom

Valentine did remember the evil karaoke. It was difficult to forget that achey breaky thing that he had to sing to make up for his missed class.

This time around, he was certain he'd be scarred for life.

"You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because

When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)"

One morning in June some twenty years ago
I was born a rich man’s son
I had everything that money could buy
But freedom - I had none

I’ve been lookin’ for freedom
I’ve been lookin’ so long
I’ve been lookin’ for freedom
Still the search goes on
I’ve been lookin’ for freedom
Since I left my home town
I’ve been lookin’ for freedom
Still it can’t be found

The machine refused to spit out the rest of the song. Either that, or somewhere the power of the Hoff recognized it wasn't getting royalties for the performance and used supernatural Hoff powers to stop the machine. Whatever the reason, Sulley was grateful.

When Johnny got to the chorus, he started having a hard time. Seriously. What kind of song was this?

"How come everytime you come around,
My London, London bridge, wanna go down like,
London, London, London, wanna go down like,
London, London, London, we going down like...

How come everytime you come around,
My London, London bridge, wanna go down like,
London, London, London, wanna go down like,
London, London, London, we going down like…

As the drinks start pouring,
And my speech start slurring,
Everybody start looking real good."

Talk to Prof Tomoe

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

He's here, waiting to take your questions. It's better not to ask how he knows all the lyrics to the songs on the karaoke machine.

OOC

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

All mad science classes will be posted late the night before, because I am so not a morning person and will have almost no morning availability.

I also have no shirtless icon for Prof Tomoe. Woe.

Re: OOC

Doom is, of course, not only the greatest scientific mind in the class but also the finest karaoke singer and Twister player, as well.
