The Science of Deduction, Friday

[3patchproblem.livejournal.com]

There was absolutely nothing special about the classroom today. Despite, or perhaps because, the fact that this should be their final exam.

"I have no intention of giving you a test today," Sherlock informed them kindly as he typed something into his phone. "If you hadn't realized I have no patience for traditional academia, you have already failed this class. The few of you who have learned something would do best to find a case of their own. The rest... I trust will find solace in whatever celebration for the end of the semester you have planned."

Looking up from his phone finally, Sherlock gave them all a critical once over. "If you must do something, read your classmates. Miss Frost, of course, is at an advantage, but don't let that deter you."

"Oh, it's great," said Ariel, completely oblivious and trying to help with gestures. "It's really lightweight, and it fans out at the bottom with the little rounded rubber part at the end..."

Ben's eyes went wide. "Um."

Mind out of the gutter, Skywalker.

"After that," Ariel continued, leaning her chin thoughtfully on her palm, "I'd have to go with the steering column..."

A statement which would surely prove just how far into the gutter Ben had gone...

Ben choked.

Not dirty.

Ish.

"Do they work together?" he asked faintly.

"Oh, no," Ariel shook her head and giggled. "Don't be silly; they're two completely different things."

"Oh good," Ben replied, looking very relieved. "I just had to check."

"Although," Ariel said, eyes narrowing thoughtfully as she tapped her chin, "now you've got me wondering..."

Re: Read Eachother

[momslilassassin]

"Wondering what?" Ben asked faintly.

"How they could work together," Ariel supplied. "It would be tricky, I think, to really incorporate the steering column, but if you got a little creative..."

Ben's eyes bugged out a little. "What would you want it to do?"

And Ariel could really only smile. That bugged out expression was exactly the sort of thing she'd expect from Flounder.

"Just to see if I could, of course."
