Yeah, this was definitely a class that was going to regularly be meeting in the Danger Shop. Thor was maybe a little reckless when it came to charging in to battle, but less so when dealing with his students. So while they'd be spending the next seven weeks putting things they were told never to put in microwaves into microwaves, they'd be doing it in an environment with safety controls so that things could get shut down if necessary.

"Hello, and welcome to Fun With Microwaves!" he greeted everyone. "I do hope you signed up for this class on purpose. If you did not, I hope you enjoy the next several weeks in any case. I assume most of you have some passing familiarity with the microwaving device?" he checked. "If so, then you are probably aware that there are some objects you are advised not to place within its confines. In this class, we will be ignoring those guidelines, and every week shall microwave a different object or substance to see what happens." Why? Because why the heck not, that's why. Hence why there was a microwave in front of each student. As well as lab coats and safety goggles, because of the possibility of things getting a little messy.

"But before we begin, although I recognize some of you, sharing names is an important tradition on the first day of class. I am Thor Odinson, and shall be your instructor for this session. Please share with the group your name, the year of schooling you will be entering in the fall, and what is one thing you'd always wanted to put in the microwave but did not?"

Once introductions were done, he handed out several packs of bubble gum to each student. "All you need to do is place the chewing gum substance within the microwave, and then set the timer for whatever length of time you desire. Then, watch the results."

Yeah, as far as classes went, this one was bound to be pretty straightforward.

It's tradition.

"Cosette," she said, looking slightly bemused because so far her classes weren't at all what she thought they were going to be, but in this case she wouldn't complain because she'd enjoyed Thor's class last time. "I admit this isn't quite what I expected it would be, but that's all right. It --"

Sounded a little bit odd, but.

"Seems like it will be entertaining."

"Hi, I'm Cecil Palmer. I'll be a sophomore in Fall. I...can't think of anything, really. Um. Maybe rocks? Or primordial ooze?"

"My name is Eleanor Lamb," she began. "I'll be a junior this fall. I'm not very familiar with microwave ovens, besides seeing them in the common rooms. I suppose it'd be very useful to know what not to place inside of them, moving forward."

"I'm Jeff Moreau, but you can call me Joker. I'll be a senior this fall, and man, what haven't I wanted to put in a microwave?"

"I'm Raven Darkholme. I'm going to be a junior." Raven shrugged. "And I haven't actually put anything at all in a microwave. They're a little intimidating."

Or boggle at the idea of microwaving random crap.

For the record, bubble gum kinda melts into a sticky pancake and apparently smells like cotton candy.

It was going to take Cecil a while to get to the actual microwaving. He was just going to be quietly squeeing about putting on a lab coat, and taking selfies to send to ♥Carlos♥.

The odd bloated disc looked grotesque, but in such a fascinating way. And now, Eleanor was craving cotton candy.

"Awwwwww, no explodey?"

Joker sighed. Well, at least it looked pretty disgusting. That was fun.

If you need!

This is possibly the silliest class I've ever done. But admit it, we've all wanted to microwave things we weren't supposed to.

Also, I could *definitely* use a TA this time around, since I'm going to be afk for at least a week, possibly two, for SDCC.

A long time ago at a very shitty job, I got really cranky about a work project. When it was finally, finally done, I burned it onto a CD, took it home, and beat the CD into pieces with a hammer. Then I shoved those pieces into the microwave, where they made super-pretty arcs of light!!!

HOW COULD I NOT SIGN UP

SERIOUSLY.

Although the afterwards part, where all the food tasted a little like burnt CD for a few days, kind of sucked.
