Monday - period 1 - Fuck Yeah Science

[badassprodigy]

Once again it was Monday and 8:00. Time for science class!

The usual notices went out to the students in typical handwavy fashion requesting that they wear tank tops to class. If they did not have one Barry would provide. Along with that notice was to meet in the park once again where Barry had arranged a tent for changing (much smaller this time) and a table with coffee and snacks.

And yes, there was another table covered in a sheet.

“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return,” Barry said once everyone had gathered. “That’s not me saying that. It’s fucking Leonardo Da Vinci. Who for being the bastard son of a peasant girl did pretty well for himself. As for me bullshiting around with one of his famous quotes, that’s just my clumsy way of saying we’re going flying today.”

He pulled back the sheet to reveal... cans of RedBull and goggles. “Everyone here can drink one of these and... well fuck. I’ll just demonstrate. “

Barry opened a can and took a long drink. Moments later feathers and then eventually wings sprouted from his back. He began to flap and eventually was hovering above the students.

“Yeah. That’s what is fucking happening right now,” he said with a grin. “And if growing wings or fighting gravity isn’t for you-“

He motioned to another table filled with books.

-“You can write an essay on birds today. Don’t forget for everyone flying to wear the goggles to protect your eyes. Also make sure to write down your observations about flight in your journals.”

If it helps, a lot of people find him very annoying.

"Oh, okay." Wei Wuxian can understand that. He's got a phobia of his own. "What's your essay about?"

"Uhhh..." Julius looked down at his paper where he'd gotten so far as writing his name, the date, and the word 'The' for a title. "Birds?"

Wow, Julius. Just wow. Try harder.

"And, umm. How they fly?" Better.

"...Different wing shapes?"

"I've always thought wing shapes were interesting," Wei Wuxian said. "It'll tell you a lot about a bird, like how they travel and how they hunt." He picked up a nearby book and started looking through it.

Julius nodded, smiling a little now that they'd moved away from the topic of him. "Which birds are built for speed and which glide on thermals," he offered as an example. "Which are predators and which are carrion-eaters."
