Science You Cannot Possibly Comprehend, Monday, Period 5

[allhopeliesinme.livejournal.com]

"You have a shortened week due to the holiday. As such, I am sure that you will be distracted this class period. So instead of my normal detailed lesson, I will tell you about a special holiday in Latveria," Doom said. This was going to be good.

"It is called Doom's Day, and it celebrates the victory of Doom over the corrupt King Vladimir Vassily Gonereo Trstian Mangegi Fortunov. As I once imposed my will over Vladimir, so do I impose my will over a national holiday, for Doom's Day has no set date. Doom's Day occurs whenever Doom commands it. And today, as you may have surmised, is Doom's Day for this year. And we will celebrate."

Two tables lifted from the floor of the lab. One was filled with food, both traditional Latverian foods (which were basically German foods, but let's be more specific than that, True Believers!) and more common American snacks as well. The other was covered in electronics.

"You will create some sort of device to celebrate Doom's Day in this class period. It may be as simple as a light projector or it may be as complex as you can imagine, as long as it is in service to the glory of Doom. After your celebratory device is complete, you may feast," Doom said. "And of course, should you rebel against the spirit of Doom's Day or slander your instructor in any way, you will receive detention."

Which was better than what happened to Laverians who didn't celebrate!

It's a holiday today! Bask in the glory of Doom, everyone!

No, seriously. Bask. DO IT.

Create a Celebratory Device

Doesn't matter what it is as long as it is in honor of Doom.

Karolina kind of wanted to rebel against the spirit of Doom's Day, if she was honest.

But she was still working on a very very simple light projector because detention just didn't quite seem worth it.

Jim found this whole concept pretty freaking funny. So yeah, he'd make something for Doom to celebrate. Maybe it would involve confetti and glitter in a projectile manner.

Maybe.

Topher was working on making a device to create what he would call 'indoor fireworks,' and others would call a mild safety hazard.

So don't startle him while he was working on it, maybe.

Billy wasn't sure if forced celebrating really counted as celebrating, but he was a little hungry. So, he worked on a device that would make applause sounds when turned on (and maybe when you tried to turn it off too, because Doom).

Cecil...wasn't really the device-making kind. So he went with a triumphal arch and put one of those movement-sensing thingies in it to cheer when someone walked under. That would work, right?

Victor's pride in his own work won out over his lack of desire to do anything for Doom. He built a little model of Doom that danced on command.

Feast

[allhopeliesinme.livejournal.com]

It is a holiday, after all. Have some moddable snacks! Once everyone's done with their devices, there will even be traditional Latverian music.

Um. It was loud and clearly oppressive. And that was before the polka started. Well, maybe 'polka' was the wrong word. Was it possible to be both a polka and a dirge?

Jim grabbed a few snacks once he was done with his project. The music was...pretty awful but it still made him laugh.

Speak to Loki

How many holidays does he have?

Speak to Doom

[allhopeliesinme.livejournal.com]

The fact that "Doomsday" means something else is not lost as Doom. But it should be noted that it's the second definition in the Latverian English Dictionary.

OOC

So I was looking stuff up, and there are three national holidays in Latveria: New Year's Day, Doom's Day, and Christmas Day.

CHRISTMAS DAY. The Marvel Wiki even speculates that this suggests that Christianity is the leading religion in Latveria. Which I'm not sure what I expected, but it definitely wasn't that since the country's dictator is an evil wizard scientist.

But he's an evil wizard scientist who has beef with the devil, so....
