Sure, Kūkaku knew she could get a generator for her classroom. Hell, she could be the generator for her classroom if she wanted, but then why would she want to deprive her poor little students of a practical lesson, hmmm?

At least there were lights, if nothing else. They were in the form of carefully protected lanterns that the twins had painstakingly hung up from the ceiling before class that morning, and Kūkaku might has used a little bit of her talents to make sure they were bright enough to work by. Heat, on the other hand, was going to be a different story.

"Morning!" Kūkaku had on her cloak but, besides that, seemed relatively unaffected by the chilly classroom. "So some of you may have noticed a little power outage from the snow we got. Personally, I think we're all jus' lucky the extreme change in temperatures didn't cause the world to explore or nothin'. I know your reading chapters for this week were on the states of matter and transitions between them, but I think today we're going to do something a little more thematic.

"Simply put, we're skippin' the lecture right now and doin' the experiment first. We're going to make some energy, using chemical energy and the heat of combustion. Obviously, any of the dangerous elements are out of our reach, but you've got a lot of the basic ones at your disposal, as well as a few basic laboratory tools. If ya want, ya can be boring and make fire, but remember, fire needs lots of fuel to burn and I'm not lettin' you scorch half the lab. Or, you can try to get a little more creative and see what other ways you can make energy at your station for you and your partner. Pretty simple, right? But here's the catch. When you're done, you get to explain to us all what you did, what chemical reactions were involved, and blah blah blah. It could be worse. I coulda made it be a written report."

"Before we start, any question about the reading material for the week? Or any questions about this week? If not, let's get started. The longer you wait, the colder your get, but I don't think too many of you will have a problem coming up with something for this one."

Kūkaku's keeping it short and sweet today, because the longer she talks, the colder you'll be, unless you're more like she is and come with your own internal heat engine.

Find a partner and figure out how to get some heat going at your workstation.

Or be a showoff and generate heat for the whole classroom. Not that she'd dream anyone in this class would attempt showing off....

Tony wasn't so much of a show off--today--as really cold and annoyed that the power was out. What kind of place didn't have an insane amount of back up generators?!

Were they living in the Dark Ages?!

So, building a heater it was. Stupid island.

Cassidy fully intended on doing the assignment, but damn it, she was first going to put some warming spells on the stations she passed to get to her own.

It was cold in here and she wasn't about to heat her station up and not the other students.

She also wasn't going to make a big deal out of doing it, either.

Chuck had just been intending to pull out a Bunsen burner and warm up a heating mat for a quick-fix.

But Cassidy's special magicked up warmth put that thought aside for a minute, and he had to test by waving his hands over it. "Huh." He managed to fit a whole lot of wonder into that singly syllable. Pretty cool.

Andros wished that he was back on the Astro Megaship right about now, where at least it was warm, as he began looking at options to generate heat.

Not only do you have to be able to do it, but Kūkaku expects you to know the science behind it, too, so let's hear what you've got about what you did.

Case in point: own internal heat engine, and that's why he's TA.

Yep, Jono wasn't too terribly cold, today. Not necessarily because of that internal heat thing that he had going on, but it certainly helped.

So did the heavy leather jacket, the bandages, the turtleneck sweaters, the gloves...

Lighting up her pipe after class helps with the warmth, too.

I hope we get all that snow they were talking about, geez...
