How to Blow Things Up: Week 1, Period 5

"Morning, all," she said with a grin.  "For those of who who don't know me, I'm Alianne of Pirate's Swoop.  Feel free to call me Aly, if you have a need to be formal, duani is also acceptable, but the first person to call me Miss Aly gets things thrown at them.  The class is How to Blow Things Up.  Hopefully explosions are acceptable to all of you-" she rocked back on her heels with a smile - "Because we're going to make a lot of them."

"But not quite today.  Today I want to get to know you and talk about a few important things before anything gets blown up.  First of all, not all of our classes are going to be in the Danger Room.  We're going to be working with real explosives with the real possibility of people getting hurt.  That means that if we're working with them and I tell you to do something, you need to do it immediately.  No questions, no what-ifs, no counterpoints, get down or get out of the way or stop what you're doing." 

"If you think that's going to be a problem for you, that's fine, but you need to go find a new class now."

"Secondly, this is a class about explosives - C4, hand grenades, TNT, the like.  We're going to have a class on magical ways, but outside of that , if you have special abilities that allows you to blow up things - or set them on fire -" she glanced at Zuko if he was there "I'd prefer the focus stay on the more chemical explosives."

"And finally," she began passing out what looked like basic floorplans of the school.  "For the last class, you're each going to design a strategy for blowing up the school.  I realise the idea is a bit passé after the past year, but let's pretend it's not the case.  Take the floorplans, take a look at them, and keep the project in mind as the workshop progresses."

She paused, watching the class.  "Now that that's out of the way, why don't you all introduce yourselves - even those I've already met, yes, and tell me a bit about yourself as well as your familiarity or experience with making things go boom."

Even though he was trying his best to hide it, Karal was nervous. He was beginning to think this had not been a good idea at all.

:We're here now,: Altra told him from where he was leaning against Karal's legs and looking around the room so Karal could see. :If the worst happens, I'll Jump us out.:

That was somewhat reassuring, and Karal bent down to stroke Altra's head.

Karal took a deep breath, concentrated on making sure his chin wasn't pointing at the ceiling, and said, "My name is Karal Austreben, I am a Sun-priest of Vkandis Sunlord, and the only experience I have with explosives is watching someone else make and use them. She's very good," he added. "And--" Karal hesitated, but the person who was going to be teaching him to use very dangerous things should know if anyone should. He was fairly sure she wouldn't make him leave. "I am blind," he said quietly, "but I can see through Altra's eyes."

The Firecat nodded gravely in Aly's direction.

Ella was both intrigued and frightened by this class, and that mix of emotions probably showed as she listened.

"I'm Ella," Ella said. "I am a junior, and from a place called Frell. We don't have weapons this sophisticated at home, but I want to learn as much as I can while I'm here."

"I'm Liz Sherman," Liz said, "I'm from Newark, New Jersey and I'll be a junior this fall. Um..." she hesitated slightly, "I'm a pyrokinetic... most of my experience with explosives as been as a result of this...not by choice though," she said quietly, "I've got better control then I used to have,"

Mmm, things that went boom. Always interesting...unless it was him who was going boom.

And that wouldn't happen.

He hoped.

"Hannibal King," he said, getting used to giving introductions in class now. "Not really a king though if anyone has a kingdom, I'd be happy to step in as your royal monarch."

He waited for takers. And was almost disappointed when there was none.

"Anyway. I'm from Earth, which is weird to have to clarify, and I've used a lot of fireworks, bottle rockets, stink bombs, cherry bombs and I'm a big fan of Pop Rocks."

Ella frowned in thought. "Could you give an example, please?"

"I'm in his class," Hannibal said. "The guy in the red pajamas, right? Who thinks it's a costume but is really just deluding himself?"
