Extremely Safe Science With Beaker, Friday, May 13, 2022

[meepmeepmeep]

Someone in the administration had insisted--strenuously--that Beaker have his class in the Danger Shop (something about insurance and liability and fire suppression systems), so welcome to the Danger Shop, everyone!

Beaker was wearing his lab coat and standing in front of the classroom, looking extremely nervous. This was his default expression, so don't read too much into it.

"Meep meep meep," he began as everyone found a chair. "Meep meep meep--" he gestured expansively with his arm, "--meep meep meep mee!"

Everyone get that? No?

"Meep," he said, moving around to the other side of the lab table and picking up a beaker of a clear liquid. "Meep meep meep meep meep!"

Then he picked up a huge piece of sodium with tongs. So...hopefully people who recognized that were stepping back a bit.

"Meep meep mee--" he said, tipping it into the beaker of water.

Explosion.

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Don't worry, the fire suppression system would kick on in a second, plus there was a very wise firefighter in the classroom.

Obviously, Amaya was very thrilled to be taking a workshop taught by honestly one of her favorite students over the years. At least, she normally would be; right now, she was almost a little too tired to feel much of anything except bleary exhaustion, to the point where she almost thought about just skipping the class today. But since she definitely wasn't getting any work done at the forge, either, she figured she had nothing left to lose.

Except maybe a limb or two.

It felt like a worthy risk to take.
