The desks were paired off again, each with a set of tools, and there was a crate full of ~~completely modable~~ spare parts.

Yes, kids, it is project time again, and Glitch was standing at the front of the class looking very delighted by the whole thing. Really, this was probably his favorite kind of class to teach.

"Alright, class," he said with a smile. "Today, you're going to build something out of nothing. Pick up some parts and start to put them together. Don't worry if you can't get it to work or don't have a set design for it. It doesn't even have to have a real function, if you can't find one, heh. The point of this is for you to get an idea of what it's like to start building something with these materials."

There may or may not have been a moment or two where he bounced ever so slightly, but those moments should be ignored.

"And don't forget that after next weeks break, you'll need to be ready to bring in your preliminary designs for your final projects."

Nothing like ending the lecture on something to strike fear into the hearts of his students, though that wasn't entirely intended.

Liir resolutely didn't laugh.

"Well..." and he added a couple of dials, three legs, and something the spun.

Sokka grinned. "Awesome." He added a couple more random parts, and then stuck an anemometer on top. Just because.

"I dunno," he said. "How do you think it looks?"

"Like a ticktock about to vomit."

Beat.

"Good. Good, I'd say."

"Vomit, huh?" Sokka asked, affixing an elaborately carved Bavarian cuckoo clock face to the front of the monstrosity. "See, I was sort of thinking it looked more like... Ohhh.... I dunno. ...Like you forgetting about your green face for a few minutes?"

He grinned. "Wanna switch it on and watch it fail to work?"

He looked over at Sokka.

"You made this monstrosity in an effort to cheer me up?"

Sokka grinned. "Well, actually, mostly I was just having fun, but yeah, that was part of it."

He switched the contraption on, and it miraculously staggered forward a few steps while playing "Für Elise".

"What's your name?" he asked suddenly. "I don't think I caught it earlier. Or at the store."

"Sokka," he said with a grin, pointing both index fingers at Liir and grinning. "That's my name, and don't you forget it. You can tell it's me, because I'm awesome."

ConfuZord chimed and the cuckoo popped out of the clock, hitting Sokka in the back of the head.

Liir ducked to avoid being hit by anything else.

"Liir. At the moment, you can tell because I'm green. Usually because I'm awkward."
