Science Classroom; Tuesday [ 08/02 ].

So there it was. A large chunk of rock sitting in the middle of a laboratory classroom, waiting to be researched. Jane wasn’t entirely sure it wanted to be researched, though, with all the elusiveness and mystery it was giving off, but, then again, geology was hardly her area of scientific expertise, and she had a feeling it wasn’t quite Miss Granger’s forte either.

Thankfully, that was why they had their brilliant and inquisitive students to help, yes?

Goodness, she hoped so! Either way, a handwavey message had been sent out to the student body, encouraging anyone who was interested to come on in and help them out today.

“Hello, students,” she gave them a bit of an uncertain smile. “Thank you all for coming and giving us a hand with this most mysterious piece of rock. It’s so good to see so many of you eager to help, but Miss Granger and myself must ask you to take the utmost care. Clearly, we are uncertain what we are dealing with, so we must be careful.”

"Yes, please. I wish we had more information to give you," said Hermione, and don't think that wasn't bothering her. Of course, she'd also decided that if there was some strange mysterious rock that no one knew anything about, she was not going to be touching it unless it was absolutely necessary. At least without gloves. She knew that was probably just paranoia. "If there is anything you can tell us about it, don't hesitate to speak up."

“We’ve got gloves, microscopes, goggles, you name it,” Jane offered, “and also plenty of books for reference. Let’s use our resources and try to figure out what we can. Consider everything; even if you find something that’s just minutely interesting or different or strange, it could be useful.”

"Now, if anyone has any questions, we'll answer them as best we can," Hermione went on. "But let's get started and see what we can find, shall we?"

If anyone needed Hermione, she'd be half-watching the classroom and half-poring over a geology book. Because of course she went right to the books. She was quickly discovering that looking of pictures of rocks didn't hold much interest for her, but she still personally didn't feel okay handling the rock herself.

Mysterious rock that appeared out of nowhere? Oh, you better believe Tony would be all over that. Possibly with just a little too much excitement showing as he'd arrived with his own tools and supplies ready.

Oh, sweet sweet science. His beloved.

Topher was practically bouncing when he arrived at the science classroom. He got to play with a big rock! People would be jealous; they didn't have a rock this big. Take that, Dave.

He had toys tools with him and he was ready to get to work playing with it. Uh. Doing science on it. That was what he meant.

Riiiiiight.

my rock (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/The-White-Rock-in-White-Rock-3645.jpg) is TOTALLY BIGGER.

...doesn't turn people into evil creatures though. so there's that.

Claudia was there, naturally. The rock had her mighty curious, and she was looking forward to getting to poke at it with equipment.

"Scientific explorer, reporting for duty."

Who knew? Maybe it would turn out to be an artifact. Artie would be so impressed.

"You're here?" Tony had disdain for your science, Topher. Such disdain!

Topher made a big show of looking over both his shoulders.

"Nooooooo."

Sorry, Tony. You had asked for that one.

"..." Damn it, Topher. "Well, good. I'm sure they only want real experts on this."

Topher spotted Claudia. The whole thing with girls who did science was a cliche, yes, but still very appealling.

"H-h-hi."

Oh god.

"I'm sure I could find you diagrams," Tony shot back. Because they were so mature.

This time Topher was whining.

"Stop it!"

He even stomped his foot.

Claudia smiled. "Hey man. Dissect any fun mechanical spiders, lately?"

Tony, on the other hand, was less nervous around girls. If only because science and sex occupied vastly different regions in his brain.

"Hey," he said with a nod.
dollpocalypse: (awk: ooh oops)

Re: Arrive & Mingle - 08/02.

"Uh."

Now he was blushing.

"Not, uh, not, uh, not lately."

"Never." Tony rolled his eyes. "Do they have any idea where the stone came from?"

"Yo." It was always good not to be looked at like she was a unicorn or something.

You spent long enough in the sciences -- or anything else dubbed "nerdy" -- and you got used to socially awkward guys. "Yeah, me neither," Claudia said easily. "Which, on the one hand, yay not getting attacked by spiders!"
