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?"

"Halloween's for kids," Tony protested.

"Candy!" Ino insisted. "And there's only one kid, or two kids on the island, so we get to go out and get the candy! And a lot of people don't have this on their homes so we're allowed to celebrate it!"

It was logical! Maybe.

"... I don't have a costume."

"It's the first period of the day," she pointed out. "Plenty of time to get one! And you could always just cut holes in a sheet and go as a ghost if you get really desperate!"

"Then I'll have holes in my sheets," Tony pointed out. Maybe he was teasing. A little.

"Tony," Ino pouted. "Come on! Hallowe'en's fun!"

Re: Experiment [10/31]

"Bite me," he snickered. "Okay, maybe I could come up with something."

Re: Experiment [10/31]

[intraspective]

"I will," she threatened him. "I am a vampire 'til this is over, you know."

Except for that whole creature of the night thing.

"And yay! I win! You've got to come!"

Tony sighed dramatically. "You win. Where are we going?"

Re: Experiment [10/31]

[intraspective]

She bounced. "All 'round town! People gather at the school gates before heading out~!"

"All right," he grinned. "I'll be there."
