Chemistry, Period 1, 10/31

[tyler_gone]

The costume shop had gotten Tyler's order wrong, and (after swearing at the box for a good ten minutes) he decided to go with it. That was why he was leading class today dressed as a large purple rhinoceros from a children's TV program. He'd even slung a guitar around his neck for verisimilitude.

"Happy Halloween," came the laconic greeting, once the students had gathered. "We're doing a very complicated reaction today -- here, have a handout. The supplies are on the lab tables. You should probably work in pairs, and it's very important you remember the quality control role of your instructor."

A beat. "If you need help with the write-up on the experiment, there's a easier version at the table at the front of class."

He strummed the guitar once, stiffly. "Questions? Comments?"

"Hiya!" Rikku grinned. "Really? Oh my gosh, your costume is adorable."

She had no idea why he was a grinning pink rhino, but it was cute anyway.

"It's a kid's TV host," he informed her. "Glad you like it. I was supposed to be a zombie."

He looked her up and down. "...sexy witch?" he guessed. If he'd thought about it, he probably wouldn't have called a student sexy, but it wasn't meant that way.

"You could slap some evil make-up on and be a zombie kids' TV host?" she suggested, giggling. "And I'm a black mage. Which is kinda the same thing? If you've seen Lulu, she's one."

Rikku gestured to indicate Lulu's most recognizable assets.

Ah, yes. Her. Tyler cleared his throat because this was getting a little awkward. "Right. What are your plans on Monday?"

"Nothing much," Rikku chirped. And then thought of mischief club, and blushed, and tried not to. "I mean. Nothing ... out of the ordinary. Class, and whatever. ... Why?"

"I'm doing a science fair," Tyler explained, grinning slightly at the blush. "Your co-TA is willing to help make posters announcing it, but she's going to stop by early. Could you post them around the dorms?"
