fandomhigh | Advanced Mad Science, Deember 4

Today, the Danger Shop was set up to look suspiciously like an underground bunker. A pair of flicking neon lights buzzed overhead, and revealed a large Plexiglas window leading to another darkened room. Prof Tomoe waited for the class to fill in before doing more than sipping his coffee.

"Good afternoon, class!" he said. "Today's topic is about something I enjoy very much: Doomsday Machines. Some mad scientists will build machines capable of taking out a few dozen or a few hundred people at once, but a typical doomsday machine will wipe out everyone, whether that definition include a single country, or the entire world."

He hit a switch on the wall, revealing that there was another room behind the Plexiglas filled with an enormous and complicated machine. A small console was set against the nearest wall. The only thing on top of the console was a large red button with the words DO NOT PUSH written in raised letters.

"For this activity, you are a member of an undercover criminal organization called the Death Busters. Interpol has discovered your secret hideout here under the Pacific Ocean, and is on it's way to stop you. You have two choices: let them capture you and lock you up in solitary confinement for the rest of your life, or activate the doomsday machine by hitting the red button. Once activated, the machine will wake a large winged-squid-man-like creature, who will rampage across the Earth eating many people, and driving millions of others mad, but you will be safe."

He grinned at the class. "So those of who you want to push the button, make a break for it. Those of you who don't, try to stop them. Let's see who comes out victorious in the end."

And list what kind of Doomsday Machine you'd build.

Valentine, whose doomsday machine would probably involve drowning the world in a giant ball pit.

Only those who could juggle were safe.

Kabuto Yakushi...whose device would probably be very effective, but let's not give him any ideas by actually mentioning what it would do.

Zack Addy, criminal robots.

Cher Horowitz, whose would totally pick out her wardrobe for her. Wait, have that already.

Victor von Doom, mass brainwashing device

Edward Elric, something to help add alchemic ingredents

James Sullivan, something that sucked the scare out of everyone

Surprisingly, this isn't even Prof Tomoe's first Doomsday Machine.

Cher opened her mouth to say something about "DOOMSDAY MACHINES??" and realized if she was actually still surprised at this point, she was just made of fail.

She kept her mouth shut.

Try to destroy the world on your own! Try to stop other people from dong just that!

Valentine figured he already had enough experience in the 'world ending' schtick. Even if this was for class, he wasn't much in the mood to release tentacles of crazy upon the world a second time.

He was just going to hover over this button, here, and pretend he could actually do something about other people trying to push it.

Zack made for the button. After all, you didn't have a chance to destroy the world every day.

Victor ran for the button, of course.

Next week, Prof Tomoe plans to make Kabuto dress in a black & orange miniskirt with a tiara (http://www.wikimoon.org/index.php?title=Mimete), just for tradition's sake.

Depending on his mood, Kabuto might do it. Or he might just give Prof Tomoe a flat look and go back to reading. Today, however, Kabuto was a bit of a crankypants who would not have be very amused at the suggestion.

What would he pick? Oh, he'd totally push the button in a heartbeat.

IA IA CTHULHU FHTAGN!

TENTACLE DEMONS FOREVER.

CTHULHU IS TECHNICALLY NOT A DEMON; HE'S AN OLD ONE, ONE OF THE TERRIFYING CREATURES FROM BEYOND THE STARS THAT EXISTED LONG BEFORE HUMANITY WAS EVEN A TASTY IDEA.

BUT HE IS A TENTACLE-FACE.

...

MAN-EATING TENTACLED DOOMSDAY BEINGS FOREVER?

I DO BELIEVE THAT WORKS!

ALTHOUGH CTHULHU WILL EAT WOMEN TOO.

:D

Does he crush everything? Just to keep the Jonathan Coulton theme going...

Seeing as Cthulhu is supposed to be several stories tall, I do believe that he would crush everything!

I know that song is probably supposed to be about a giant squid, but I'd like to think that it applies to giant monsters from 1920 horror stories too. ♥

They both have tentacles and like to crush things and bring destruction. I think it works pretty darn well.
