Introductory Superhuman Physics, Period 4 [11-11]

[notanactualfairy]

Today, there was a basket of dark-lensed safety goggles beside the sign-in sheet, along with a sign instructing the students to take a pair. Once everyone was situated, Jean-Paul stood up from behind his desk and said, "Does everyone have a pair of goggles? Oui? If you would put them on, please. We will have no blindings in this class." He waited until they complied. "Now. Previously I would have needed a partner for this demonstration, but my sister...that is not the point. This is."

The room was momentarily filled with a burst of blindingly white light. When it cleared, Jean-Paul said, "You may now remove your goggles. You will find a handout on your desk." No, the handout hadn't been there before the demonstration. Sassy speedster. "Break up into pairs or groups. Discuss."

How did he do that? Are you going to get cancer now? (Probably not)

Oh my God I have to write a budget. School sucks sometimes.

John blinked, not even sure what he'd seen.

...Or not seen. But hey, the goggles weren't bad.

"WHAT THE --"

The rest of Katchoo's reaction wasn't fit to be printed or typed at work.

Gavin had no idea what he'd just seen but he hadn't gone blind so that was good.

Katchoo slumped down in her chair, scowling. "Geez, all these people with speed and flight and crap, and is me being able to just frikkin' disappear that much to ask for?"

Re: Discuss

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

Gavin had no idea how he'd done that but he was thinking timer over everything else.

Even behind her goggles, Viki cringed back and down into her seat.

How many powers did he have, anyway?

"Join the club," John muttered from his own seat. Not that there was a club for that, but there should be in his estimation.

"Why would you want to disappear?" Francine asked, still blinking. "This place is great."

"Not permanently, you goof," Katchoo said, her tone suddenly a lot more indulgent. "Just every now and then. It'd be useful."

Ben blinked. He was pretty sure he couldn't move that fast, even if he tried really, really hard.

"Ohhhhh. Yeah, I guess it would." Francine nodded. Like, say, after any accidental-nudity-related occurrences. "You could... try a mask and a cloak?" No reason that popped into her head. Really.

"A cloak? Seriously? And get snagged on stuff all the time?" Katchoo demanded.

Re: Discuss

[thatsamilkshake]

"Ooh, true, that's really annoying...for people who wear cloaks. Probably."

Re: Discuss

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo's eyes narrowed very slightly, but all she said was, "Yeah, but how many of those do you have, anyway? Even in a weird ass place like this."

"Huh? What?"

Re: Discuss

[thatsamilkshake]

"Right, exactly, absolutely. Dumb idea, nobody wears cloaks, you'd stand out like a sore thumb." Bright smile.

Re: Discuss

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Francie, you're so weird," Katchoo said, one corner of her mouth quirking up into a smile.

Re: Discuss

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine stuck out her tongue. "Well, that's all I got! Aside from hiding in the closet."

Re: Discuss

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, about that," Katchoo drawled, and yay for the tongue sticky-outy. It was always so cute. "How long did you stay in there anyway?"

Re: Discuss

[heromaniac]

Momoko read her handout but was still confused. "Okay, I get the superspeed part with the handouts on the desks. That is cool no matter how many times I see it. But what caused that flash? What happened? Did I miss an explosion?"

Re: Discuss

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine gave her a stricken look. "I have no idea what you're talking about." Then under her breath she added, "Until the cookies ran out."

Re: Discuss

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh. And how many cookies was that exactly?" asked Katchoo with just the tiniest hint of a smug smile.

Re: Discuss

[thatsamilkshake]

"A few? ...Dozen?"

Re: Discuss

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo put her hand to her forehead and feigned an expression of woe. "None left for me? Francine, I'm wounded!"

Re: Discuss

[thatsamilkshake]

"Well, there would've been if you'd come and hid in the closet with me!"

Re: Discuss

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Francie, you're so far in the --" Katchoo shook her head. "I don't do closets."

She'd bet herself that Francine would miss the reference, but she wouldn't take herself up on that bet either.

"How come? They're comfy, if you pile up your laundry on the floor."
