"So here we are," Kūkaku tilted her head in regarding her last class for a moment, before gesturing for the twins to get moving, "our last class. Congrats and shit on makin' it; you've been a good class. The minions here--" yes, that includes you, Furnace Face, "--will pass out your exams. There are seven parts, covering everything we hit up on though the semester: basics, atomic structure, acids and bases, states and changes, measurement and conversations, stoichiometry and lab safety.

"Get 'em done good an' quick, because after that, you'll be doin' your presentations. Remember, it was anythin' you want, so long as it's chemistry and it doesn't blow up the place. Granted, I'm out of here after this. I'm going back home to my fireworks shop, assumin' my idiot brother hasn't burned it to the ground or turned it into a hog stable, but I'd still like to avoid gettin' tossed in jail one last time while I'm here. So get your tests done, hand 'em into one of the twins, and then we'll have some fun. Hopefully, ya all put together something good for me to remember ya by."

And though the smile was sharp, it was actually pretty sincere, too.

"Any questions before we get started?"

The janitor was going to hate Jonothon for this one. But, seeing as it was the last week of classes, and he suspected that everybody else was probably going to be going for explosions, he'd decided to take a somewhat more messy course of action for his presentation today.

//Hydrogen peroxide and sodium iodide,// he announced, about as enthusiastically as Jonothon ever did. //With a bit of liquid soap for good measure, and some food colouring just to make it a bit more interesting...//

Peroxide into the beaker first, and a squirt of soap. A bit of colour for good measure, and then Jono was poised to more or less leap backwards as he added the sodium iodide. It was sort of like an explosion, really.

He might even apologize to anyone who was sitting close enough to get hit in the eruption. Maybe.

Definitely not as many sparks as Kūkaku liked for herself, but the presentation did get a pretty good snort out of her. And a glance toward the ceiling.

She'd be sad if it actually all got cleaned up rather than a spot missed that would be there for years to come.

"Nice," she said. "What inspired ya to go with this one, Starsmore?"

//Honestly? Th'weekend. Tiny me would've gotten a kick out of this one.// A pause. //Really, I kind of do now, too.//

It was a brightly-coloured foamapalooza. What wasn't to like?

"Tiny me woulda wanted more boom for my buck," Kūkaku noted. And, really, she kind of did now, too. But she didn't say that part, just pulled her arm back a moment and, like clockwork, one of the twins handed her a towel, which she now tossed toward Jono. "How'd you think tiny you woulda thought of cleaning up afterwards?"

//What, when I was nine?// He gave the mess a thoughtful look as he mopped his arms clean, and then set to work on the foam. //... Probably a garden hose, actually.//

Tiny him hadn't been on fire.

Older him didn't think that fire on a foam that consisted mostly of soap suds filled with pure oxygen, which was giving off a sort of smoky hydrogen mixture, was probably a good idea.
