First Meeting of Science Club

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

The first meeting of Science Club will start now. If you are new and want to sign-up, the Science Club Bulletin Board and applications are next to the Bio Room in the Science Wing.

I managed to grab a few microwaves that people were just leaving on the sidewalks in town during the last big moving period. Why let them go to waste by letting them end up in a landfill?

I dragged them out back behind the school, so if anything blows up, Ms. Sidle won't freak out too much Principal Connor won't pop a cap in our asses no one will get hurt.

Grab a Microwave and Conduct Your Own Experiment.

Please write a quick report and let us know how your experiment goes so we can all learn from your experience. You might want to find another club partner to work with, just in case.

Also, feel free to leave any suggestions for future projects. Ix-nay on the uclear-nay omb-bays, though.

Broots comes in, still in yesterdays clothes, lap top under one arm and makes sure that no one he doesn't want to run into is around.

Erm, hi. I'm Broots?

Hi, I'm Lisa. Nice to meet you. Grab yourself a microwave and blow something up.

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Er, hi, I'm Broots.

He wives his palm against his jeans and offers Lisa a hand.

Blowing stuff up? Sounds good to me, right now.

Shakes Broots' hand and smiles.

We all need our own version of stress relief, right? ;)

*snags some grapes (or what she thinks are grapes from the cafeteria and cuts one in half*

*places in the microwave*

Oooh...

*scribbles down a report (http://www.pmichaud.com/grape/) in her notebook*

The grape glowed and sparked. They were then seperated by the force of the sparks.

I avoided those grapes in the caf earlier, nice to know they had some good purpose. Who knew? Cool experiment.

It's one way to get rid of that dubious looking food. My brother once tried to microwave chocolate spread. With the lid still on

*winces at memory*

[ooc: My friend actually did that. We were old enough at the time that she should have known better *g*]

*Turlough examines the microwaves suspiciously for a few minutes. It appears to be magnetron-based technology that works by exciting water molecules.*

*He exits the room, returning several minutes later with a screwdriver, a teaspoon and some dairy creamer.*

*Several hours later, the microwave has become noticeably raygun-shaped.*

My report:

The food preparation device has been altered into a more useful, portable form which may be used to stun opponents by creating a localized shockwave. The victims might be slightly damaged by the experience. I haven't tested it yet.

You could also still heat food with it, but I'm not sure why you'd want to.

Well, that's not exactly what I had in mind, but I must admit you are rather industrious.

Just don't let equalsmcsquared catch you with that, because she has a "No Weapons of Mass Destruction" policy for the labs, and you don't want to mess with her, even if you have a raygun.

::takes microwave::

I'll be back with a report in several hours.



[[OOC: In reality I have RL stuff, but I wanted Roy to make an appearance as he is a member of the Science Club.]]

I look forward to it. Try not to set anything on fire outside of school grounds, for insurance purposes.

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

"I've taken your words to heart. (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/31731.html) Nothing was set on fire outside the school grounds. Yet.

My experiment worked even better than expected, considering I've never even seen a microwave until today. I tried for the ball of lightning experiment, and personalized it with a bit of alchemy. I did get a ball of lightning. It did bounce around uncontrollably.

Unfortunately, I might have put a little too many angles in my transmutation circle on the candle. The ball of lightning was...bigger than expected, and completely uncontrollable."


Mustang is actually lying with the last part, because the ball of lightning is exactly the size he wanted it to be-- something he's feeling pretty pleased with himself for-- but he realizes that saying so aloud might not be the wisest thing to do.

*Walks in, places metal fork in microwave and watches sparks*

Seriously, I know not to put metal in the microwave...but it's just so shiny!!

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

That's... true.

Welcome to Science Club, anyway.
