Boom-de-Yada Science! | Class 8, Period 1

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Good morning!" The far-too-awake teacher at the front of the Danger Shop was definitely not the Doctor. She wasn't into tweed for one thing. Also a blonde female. One of those things probably clued the students in. "I'm Aly. No, I'm not the Doctor after a sex change. Some of you know me already, some of you don't, but feel free to call me Aly. Duani's fine too if we want to be formal about it."

"So apparently the class is Boom-de-Yada Science, right? Anyone figure out what the Boom-de-Yada part is yet?" Aly glanced around, hoping for an answer of some sort. "Oh well, That would've been too good to be true." She flicked the Danger Shop's controls and an assortment of bombs running the gamut from the classic bombs used in movies to less sophisticated devices appeared along with a table full of odd-looking instruments.

"I'm a big fan of blowing things up. It's just fun and really, really useful. It even goes along with the Boom in Boom-de-yada." She amused herself at least. "But today we're going to look at something else - what to do when you don't want the bomb to go off. Disabling explosives is a hugely dangerous task, and in general, it's something you want to call in an expert to deal with." She grinned. "But really if there's one thing Fandom teaches you it's that when you need an expert, one usually can't be found. So today we - and by we, I mean you - are going to work on disarming explosive devices that won't cause quite so much agony is you get it wrong."

Gesturing to the assortment of bombs, Aly started discussing bomb disposal techniques including the use of a pigstick because that is a freaking awesome word and the ever-popular cutting of the correctly coloured wires.

"Now the trick here is that these devices aren't bombs. But if they are disengaged incorrectly, they will explode." She grinned. "I hope you wore clothes that can get paint on them. If not -" she pointed to a box "-there are some lovely and very fashionable smocks to put on."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Otherwise, pair up and have fun."

[OOC: It's in the Danger Shop so no one will get hurt by an exploding device, but the paint is very definitely real and in all colours of the rainbow. Feel free to mod how long it lasts/how hard it is to get off. Not dirty]

Or wonder what colour of paint you'll end up with.

Clark was a little concerned by this. Blowing things up always ended badly for the farm or with people suddenly wondering why his clothes got ripped up but he was okay. Lost in memories, he tried to focus on the new teacher. It might be important!

Find a partner and see what you can do.

What colour wire should be cut first? Should you try the pigstick? (The answer to that is always yes)

Feel free to mod everything you like including when/if the bomb explodes and what colour of paint comes out. The paint explosions have a nice radius so you might get hit by other people's paint too. Sharing is caring!

Raven had experience with bombs, and she preferred her method of disposal rather than messing with wires and risking and explosion.

Ain't no way she was getting paint on her black clothes, thank you very much.

Mord'Sith leathers were actually easier to clean than you might think, but that didn't mean Cara had the time to waste getting pain off, so she pulled a smock on over them.

And did not feel the least bit ridiculous, really.

Helen pulled a smock on over her black clothes as well. "No sense tempting fate," she said to the other girl.

"Good thing I'm in the explosives class," Peter remarked, to no one in particular.

"And I'd also like to say that pigstick is the best word I've heard all day."

"Then you can disable this thing without turning us into a rainbow?" That was all she wanted; her clothes were just that, but she didn't want to imagine the time that it would take to remove it from her hair. "Because I'm assuming I can't just turn it into a toaster and be done with it."

"But if we both turn into rainbows, then we'll have a double rainbow," Peter said, not letting the meme die.

Then he paused.

"You want to turn it into a toaster?"

Sometimes Bruce's eclectic course schedule actually helped gave him a leg up in one of those classes. It wouldn't be tough for him to adjust from playing with bombs on Friday to playing with bombs on Wednesday.

Christian eyed the bomb dubiously. "Do you know what we're doing here?" he asked. "And if you do, do you mind working with a novice?"

Re: Disable the Bombs! [Science! 10-27]

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"I'm in the demolitions class," Bruce said. "So this shouldn't be too difficult. Do you want to risk paint and try the actual disabling yourself?"

Yes, Bruce was implying that there was no way it was going to explode if he tries to disarm the bomb.

Hinata was... going to eye the bombs dubiously.

Very very dubiously.

Why yes, she was likely to end up with paint all over her white coat by the end of this class and knew it.

Lindsay was definitely wearing a smock. She knew her disabling attempts would end with paint everywhere. Still, she thought this was going to be a fun assignment.

Kurt looked at a bomb and very uncertainly raised a hand.

"How much time do you think there is, between when you disarm it wrong and when it explodes?"

And, when you got right down to it, how quickly could he 'port?

Talk to the TAs [Science! 10-27]

Once they ping in.

Cara frowned, she hadn't expected this, not at all.

Talk to Aly! [Science! 10-27]

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She's alive, alert, awake, enthusiastic!

Also ready to answer any questions.

YOU TWO JUST WANTED ME TO SIGN INTO THE WRONG CLASS AT 6 AM. HMPH.

...Sorry about failing to sign-in under the right comment not once, but twice.

I blame Walter Bishop calling me first thing at work. It threw off my sense of reality.
