fandomhigh | Chemistry, Friday, Period 1

The first unusual thing chemistry students would notice this morning was a scrawled sign on their classroom door, ordering them to the Danger Shop.

When they got to the Danger Shop, they'd see it had been made to look like their classroom, but with more and shinier containers of chemicals and better safety equipment. They also, seemingly, had two teachers, if the man standing beside Professor Durden was anything to go by.

The new teacher was a flashier dresser and seemed to be the spokesman; Professor Durden stood back, looking vaguely ashamed.

"Hey," Tyler, the real Tyler no matter what anyone said, greeted with a flash of his smile. "Welcome to chemistry. I'm an old pal of your professor, here, in town with the rest of your new neighboring island." Professor Durden glared at him. "We're very close," Tyler continued, undaunted.

"I see you were supposed to do something with" -- he glanced at the lecture notes, then at his other half, in mingled confusion and amusement -- "cabbage juice, seriously?"

Professor Durden muttered something about it being educational. Tyler rolled his eyes. "Right. Educational cabbage juice. Next week, maybe it'll be Brussels sprouts. But it doesn't matter, because that's not what we're doing." He pulled out copies of a thick book and started passing them out. "That's the Anarchist's Cookbook. It's a bible. Your assignment for the day is to pick something from that book and do it in class. We're in the Danger Shop, because your teacher is a wuss and won't let you guys even try to blow yourselves up. Have fun; we'll answer questions if you have them."

Professor Durden finally spoke, there. "Don't be stupid."

Two teachers for the price of one day.

Ino made sure to approach Tyler-sensei and not creepy-Tyler after class.

"I like you better," she informed him.

It took Tyler -- who would say he'd earned the name, dammit, and he was going to use it -- a moment to make certain Ino wasn't kidding, and the barest trace of a smile touched his face when he realized she wasn't.

"Yeah?" he asked. "Thank you. Did he try to play with your head or anything?"

"Yeah. He's creepy," Ino told him, glaring at creepy-Tyler. "And said that they're taking the island which is not happening, Cable-san won't let it, and..."

She glanced sideways at him. "Told me to ask you 'bout... stuff." Useful, Ino.

"He's slipping," Tyler said. "He used to be more charming, less creepy." Or maybe, he mused, it only worked on the unsteady. Something to think about, anyhow.

He sighed. "If it's about evacuation orders, I'm so not in the mood."

"If you heard me asking him 'bout that," she said, "then you'd know it was just for my own personal curiosity. I was more interested in asking 'bout bodies and names."

Truly exasperated looks passed between the Tylers then, a ripple that could be read as what did you do now? from the teacher and what do you think? Wanna keep lying? from the other.

"Oh, that," the teacher said, deliberately, trying to decide how to explain. "Do you know Jamie Madrox? You know, the guy where you hit him and you get two Jamies." Which was never, ever going to get old for Tyler, actually.

"Uh huh," she said, crossing her arms. "I know Jamie."

"Then think of it like, I'm Jamie, and if you hit me over my head a bunch when my life completely sucks, that is what comes out," Tyler said. "He usually doesn't get to walk around on his own. That little development is a Fandom thing."

"Well," Ino said, thinking about that. "That... sucks. Especially the Fandom bit."

"Yeah, well," Tyler said, loving Ino a tiny bit right then for not asking for more details. "Not like I didn't know what this place was like. I just have to do damage control until we get rid of him again."

"I hope he goes away soon," she said, scowling at creepy-Tyler.

Creepy-Tyler returned the scowl with a beatific smile.

"You and me both," the teacher nodded.

Ino couldn't help it; the smile he gave her made her stick out her tongue at him before looking back at Tyler-sensei.

"You," Ino ordered him, "had better be careful."

Rikku glanced at Tyler, and then at the other guy. And tried to see if she could catch Tyler when the other guy wasn't paying attention.

"Are you okay?"

"I have a nemesis," Tyler said dryly. "That's almost new."

He flashed a half-hearted smile. "I'm fine. I'll be fine."

"He ... bugs you a lot?" Rikku said, checking out the other guy. "So ... does that mean the cookbook-thing isn't a good idea?"

Because it certainly looked awesome, was all.

"I've known him a long time," Tyler said warily. "Mostly he's quiet, but apparently I got lucky this weekend."

He ran a hand through his hair, considering her question. "Nah, cookbook's fine to play with, at least in here. Just ignore the drug stuff, none of it works anyhow."

"Weird people have been showing up," Rikku said, shaking her head and hoping nobody like Seymour was going to pop up. The trail of bodies would be a good tip-off. "And ... I'm still trying the letters thing. But it's good to know books like this are out there."

Sometimes, taking down the establishment was the right answer.

"Letters thing works," Tyler nodded, thinking she meant letter bombs. "Just don't do it in summer. People have lost hands."
