Monday - Period One: Fuck Yeah! Science!
Instructions had been sent out in handwavily means to tell all students to meet Barry at the park. When they arrived there they would find Barry had set up a few tables. One of them had various breakfast foods and beverages because it was fucking Monday morning and who wanted to deal with an 8:00 am class on an empty stomach? The second table had composition notebooks and a bunch of research materials on dinosaurs available.
The final table was off limits and had a sheet draped over it. Behind it was a very large tent.
"Morning. I'm Barry Ween and I was student much like yourself a few years ago," he said cheerfully once everyone had gathered. "So you're probably either an old hand at this or totally freaked out by now. My advice? Embrace the weird and your life will get a lot easier for you. Welcome to Fuck Yeah! Science! The whole point here is to have fun and make sure you learn something as well."
"Normally the first class is all about introductions. But fuck that. I'm turning all you motherfuckers into dinosaurs."
[ETA: Dinosaur icons are on the OOC thread if you need them]

Re: Dinosaur!
A few minutes later, a dinosaur emerged. "False alarm!" it chirped with Arabella's voice. "I'm medium-sized!" Okay, that was...maybe an odd way to describe something nearly twenty feet tall. Then she tilted her head and asked, "How did you pull off speech with this oral structure?" Asking because of reasons.
Re: Dinosaur!
"I had to make a lot of alterations to the voice box," Barry admitted proudly. "Getting the bilabial and labiodental phonology just right was a total pain in my ass.."
Re: Dinosaur!
She shifted her weight, looking down to make sure there were no people in risk of being squished like it was automatic. "The balance is weird with these tiny arms."
Re: Dinosaur!
"Good observation," Barry said, looking pleased. "And you have way more power in your tail than you would as well with those arms."
