Applied Science | Monday | Period 2
As the students came in today, they'd find that each desk held a pile of different kinds of paper, plus some blueprints. Tyler still wasn't feeling his best, so he'd decided the way to fill the hour was to let students make projectiles.
... anything for science, man.
"Welcome," he said, once they all seemed to be in their seats. "Today, we're talking about basic aerodynamics -- paper planes. The aerodynamics behind a paper plane are about the same as those behind any glider. Let me explain." And he did, discussing the reasons paper planes flew or didn't fly, the relative importance of the tail (none), and the differences in performance between origami planes and scale models.
As he spoke, he folded a perfect glider, and marked the conclusion of his lecture by tossing it over the heads of the students to crash just past the last row of desks. (Yes. He'd worked on this a lot.) "Your job today," he said, "is to build a perfect paper plane, either using the designs I gave you or with a design of your own. Cutting, glue, and tape are fine to use; so are small weights like paper clips or bobby pins. No using telekinesis to make it fly, though if I could, I would too."
He waved a hand at them. "Go to it."

General Class Stuff [9/21]
Re: General Class Stuff [9/21]
Ino idly considered the supplies and wondered if he'd mind if she attempted other sorts of projectiles with them. She could probably figure out how to make an origami kunai if she really put her mind to it.
Re: General Class Stuff [9/21]
And then got down to starting to design what he thought might work.

Make Paper Planes [9/21]
Me, I wanna see paper plane races.
Re: Make Paper Planes [9/21]
... Which was to say, he was folding the most simple pattern he could find, and then he was going to rely on a half-decent throwing arm to get any distance out of this thing at all. Simple was good.
Re: Make Paper Planes [9/21]
"Want to put our heads together on this?"
Re: Make Paper Planes [9/21]
//Can't do any harm, can it?//
And then he waited to make certain that his partner wasn't going to freak out over his talking in people's heads. It was a thing.

What?
It gave her the appearance of doing the assignment while she mused on adaptations of it. And it entertained her, since this was so something kids used to do in the Academy and Iruka-sensei had always blown his top.
Permission was a bit weird, huh.
Re: Make Paper Planes [9/21]
Which was why he started folding automatically as he looked around for likely targets.

She tossed it in the air... and watched it fall.
Oookay, more paper. Now for reading the blueprints and making one that actually flew.
Talk to Tyler [9/21]
Talk to the TAs [9/21]
Re: Talk to the TAs [9/21]
He was there if anybody just so happened to need him for whatever reason, of course, picking places on the wall and trying to crash his planes into them from the other side of the room.
Re: Talk to the TAs [9/21]
Until someone needed him he was going to be throwing them at various targets around the room.
OOC [9/21]
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait
