fandomhigh | How to Blow Things Up: Week 6, Period 5

Aly was torn between bouncing and being very, very serious at this. A few workstations around the campfire were set up with tubes, funnels, different powdered chemicals and what looked like gunpowder. Possibly because it was gunpowder.

"What we're going to do is make fireworks," she said with a grin. "We're using live black powder so be careful. This isn't a time to mess around."

She quickly gave everyone the rundown on how to put together Roman candles and falling leaf shells.

Aly grinned. "Now fireworks are useful for a great many things. Amusement. Distractions. They're very good for the latter. Other things that work well for both distractions and ways to annoy people might be stink bombs and smoke bombs. The latter's different from the smoke grenades a few weeks ago just by being a bit easier to make." She pointed to a table where there were quite a few of both varieties. "Try them out. Try them away from the main class please. And as long as you will all use them properly - remembering that gunpowder needs to go in the weapons' locker - you're free to take the fireworks you made or some of the stink and smoke bombs back to the dorms with you."

"Other than that, any questions? Requests for the last class next week?"

Or just talk amongst yourselves.

Ella listened closely, amazed by how gunpowder could make something so beautiful.

Hannibal had such fond memories of fireworks. That's why he was off daydreaming about said fond memories.

Reno listened closely. Fireworks weren't really his idea of a big, exciting explosion. But at least they were flashy.

Flashy, he liked.

Being an adorable, fluffy bunny didn't stop John from showing up and learning about explosives. He'd just not be likely to participate in the practicals.

Of course fireworks were a kind of explosive. Agnes could have kicked herself for not realizing that sooner. And FIREWORKS could be useful -- a little flash, a little bang, a little smoke, and whatever bit of magic you'd just done looked that much more impressive to the simple folk. THIS class, she took careful notes.

In teams if you like.

Ella decided to try to make a smoke bomb first. It wasn't complicated, and she liked the idea of using it for distraction.

Hannibal went to work on making a firecracker. They were small, could fit into a bag and were loud. That was his favorite, the loudness.

Flashy. Flashy.

Reno set to work, putting forth his best effort at making a falling leaf shell. That had certainly seemed up there.

Agnes made a smoke bomb and tested it, and then, grinning slyly, made a whole bunch more, in all sorts of different colors, and pocketed them.

Karal was here ~~all along, damn it stupid day and I totally forgot I had class~~, as was Evey.
