Industrial Arts, Tuesday

[not_a_whiner]

"Welcome back."

The space at the front of the class had been cleared of everything besides the desk, which Kaidan was currently perched on top of. "Today, you get to show off," he said. "Talk about your woodworking project, talk about what you're doing with the battlebot. But you have to talk about something."

He crossed his arms. "You've all got your partners now - Jessica, Lex, I didn't get a sign-up from you, so you're a team. Bucky, you're with me." He had a feeling this could only end in tears otherwise - or a roomba with a knife on top. (Actually, it might still end up with a roomba with a knife on top.) "Other than the presentations, today is your planning class. Huddle up with your partner and draw up plans if you haven't done so already. If you have, get to work. Next week, we'll be focusing on auto repair, so you might not have time to work."

"First person takes the floor..." He glanced over the class. "You."

"You know, I kind of figured," Topher decided. "Blue it is."

"Like when they do adverts for 'em on tv to show they can hold a whole baby's worth of wee," Ace reasoned. "It's always blue, innit."

"So we're, like, implying it," Topher concluded, nodding sagely. "I like it. When do you want to make the gel? It might take a while to get it right."

"Weekend when there's less nosybones around trying to make sure we don't blow ourselves up?" Cough. There was no significant glance at the teacher. Really.

"Oh, you mean like Alenko," Topher said, maybe a tiny bit louder than a sensible person would have gone with. "Cool. Wanna use Stark Industries? There's all kinds of science in there."

"WHY NO, I DO NOT MEAN LIKE OUR TEACHER WHO LOVES US AND IS ONLY CONCERNED FOR OUR WELL-BEING and can hear us." Ace gave him a look, but it was quickly washed away by a conniving grin. "But experimenting at the robot shop sounds sensible. Lots of safety protocols there, right?" That they could maybe turn off?

"I don't know that he loves us..." Not the point, Topher. "But yes. Those protocols definitely exist. I know because I've noticed their very large off-switches." Now he was getting it! "We should be totally safe."

This would go well.
