Advanced Mad Science, October 2nd

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop didn't look like an Eastern European graveyard this week, but the desks had been moved to the sides in favour of a few odd looking things in the centre of the room. A phonebooth, a Victorian looking chair, and an eighties sportscar took up most of the space in the room, and all three of them seemed to have very odd wires and attachments and levers added to them.

The Professor leaned against the hood of the car while he waited for the class to arrive. "Good afternoon, students!" he said, as soon they had filled into the room. "Today's class subject is time travel. Time travel involves using a special device -- as such the ones behind me -- to puncture through the folds in the space time continuum to take yourself to a different time and occasionally a different place. There are many different methods of achieving this, many of which involve the use of a machine to take you from time to time."

He grinned malevolently at the class. "But the best way to learn about time travel is to throw you right into the deep end." A passed out a number of sealed cards. "Each of you have been given a different objective. You will pick one of these three time machines, and try to fix it. Luckily, this is entirely a holographic simulation, so you can't permanently damage the timeline. Try not to mess up the space-time continuum too much."

Up and ready!

"I say we find both of them, lock them in a room together, and don't let them out until they conceive one of us," Victor said.

"Excellent, Doom. I agree with you one hundred percent." Johnny just wanted to get back in that car.

Johnny and Victor would find themselves somewhere in the 1950s, in what looked like a small town somewhere in Northern California. Nameless people went about their lives in the very pretty town square, while number of teenagers filed into a malt shop for some after school fun.

There was a pretty brunette girl watching the two of them with a mixture of curiosity and coyness, and a nerdy boy trying to slink by unnoticed in the background.

Johnny moved to nudge Doom. "Cute girl, two o'clock, checking us out, dude."

"Considering this simulation shouldn't take all day, I assume that's her," Victor said, thinking outside the box. "Let's go talk to her."

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

"Why don't we just kidnap her and the guy slinking behind her. Looks like he could be your dad."

"I wanted to make sure that we were picking the right people," Victor said. "But if you really want to just grab two random people, by all means, go ahead."

Johnny sighed. "Fine. Come on..." He stepped up a bit until he was closer to her and he smiled. "Hey, I... or rather, me and my friend here, couldn't help notice that you were staring at us. So..."

The girl smiled as the two guys walked over, and tried her best to look coy. "Well, I noticed that you were new in town, and I wanted to say hi." She moved in closer to them to look Johnny in the eye. "And to say that I think you're pretty dreamy."

The nerdy boy sighed at overhearing that, and carried on toward the malt shop.

Victor turned to Johnny. "That's enough evidence for me."

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Me too." Johnny then moved fast to try and grab her.

"I'll get him," Victor said, hurrying to the malt shop.

The nerdy boy was just trying to get into the malt shop, get a chocolate milk, and get out before he got bullied. When he spotted Victor coming at him, he let out an audible Eeep, and tried to walk faster.

Johnny had the girl in his arms and was walking down the sidewalk fast with her. Damn. This looked like kidnapping. He had no idea where the hell he was going.

"Doom? Come on man!"

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

Victor had no problem with this looking like kidnapping. Also, he was in good shape and could sprint well. It wasn't long before he was trying to tackle the nerdy boy.

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

The boy tried to run, but he was no match for Victor, and went down like a sack of bricks when he was tackled. He let out a whimper. "Please, I'll give you my lunch money, or whatever you want. Just don't hurt me," he said weakly.

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

"Despite what this seems, I'm not a common thug like my associate there," Victor said. "All I want from you is to get to know that girl better. If you don't, my future is destroyed anyway, so I have no reason not to kill you."

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny smirked and looked down at the girl he was rushing away. "So. That guy back there with my friend. Who is he?"

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

The boy appeared stunned at Victor's request. "Lorraine? But ... she's ... how did you know that I really like her? Uh, sure."




The girl looked at the boy and back at Johnny. "Who, George McFly? I think he goes to my school."

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Lorraine. That wasn't so hard, was it?" Victor asked.

He hoped that Storm hadn't managed to screw his part up yet.

George frowned and pushed his bangs out of his face. "Oh, but she'd never go out with me. She's so pretty and smart and perfect, and I'm ... me."

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

"Let's give my... acquaintance there a chance to convince her otherwise," Victor said. A death threat would probably work with her, too, though.

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny gave her a charming, winning smile. "Did you know he's got the hots for you? Think you ought to go and talk to him." Johnny was so smooth. Maaaaan!

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Lorraine looked at George dubiously. "Really?" she asked.

He tone of voice implied that she'd rather talk to Johnny.

Re: Johnny Storm/Victor von Doom

"Seriously. I mean, can't you see the way he is avoiding making eye contact with you? He's totally into you."
