Boom-De-Yada Science - Danger Shop, Wednesday, Period 1 [Week 11]

The students were greeted by a large open arena that may or may not have looked like a fully intact Roman Colosseum only with a completely flat and open centre. Something that was definitely not Roman was the Doctor, the remote control in his hand and the oversized (twice the size of a human) robot spider.

"Hello!" the Doctor said, looking far too happy about his toy. "Arachnids this week. Eight legs, definitely not insects since those have six legs but you could still call them bugs since that's all encompassing. No antennae or wings, the body is organised into the cephalothorax and the abdomen and the former is usually covered by an unsegmented carapace. All spiders are arachnids, but not all arachnids are spiders. You have scorpions, mites, ticks and assorted others that you can research in your own time. Anyone want to play with the robot spiders?" he asked, finally taking a moment to breathe. "There's a remote control for each of you on the table over there. You can figure out which one is yours. The legs on these spiders, though not non-robotic ones, are good for destroying other robot spiders. Last robot spider standing wins a chocolate bar."

His spider then skittered off to start attacking the others. Someone hadn't had his monthly destruction of property fix.

So fast? Zatanna tried to make her spider quickly retreat, making it do something that was half a jump, half a slide backwards. Was this a jumper spider too? Did it matter much? She had no idea of how resilient these were, so she was going to try to test it.

"Let's see what this can do..."

Zatanna's spider started circling Hinata's, looking for an opportunity to jump at it.
