Completely Safe Science With Beaker!, Friday, June 3, 2022

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep meep meep meep!" Beaker said, gesturing grandly to the dishwashing soap, hydrogen peroxide, and yeast on his bench.

Did anyone recognize the components of elephant toothpaste?

Beaker, still meeping authoritatively, went through the steps for making elephant toothpaste as he mixed the soap with the hydrogen peroxide, then carefully (...well, for Beaker) added the yeast.

And a huge plume of foam engulfed him.

"MEEP!"

At least he didn't catch fire this time?

Travis nodded, and was about to tell her he didn't think he needed anything like that, then paused.

". . . You ever make a pike pole?"

See? Never hurt to make the pitch!

"Oh, I love a good pike!" Amaya said, eyes brightening, and absolutely thinking of a completely different pike, but it was fine, she'd be able to manage that other one just fine. "Got a few on the wall right now, actually! Don't get a lot of requests for them around here, but the Daventry Guard? Back where I was before here? Very big on their poleaerms, but, then again, they always have had a pretty long reach."

Amaya, no.

"Right. Um." Travis was thinking maybe there was a miscommunication happening here. "Well, firefighters use them when we need to break holes in roofs and things, to vent a fire. I've got a few, but if I had a handmade one? Envy of all the other firefighters."

Well. Of Vic, anyway. Who would then call him a nerd, but that was fine.

Amaya squinted a little, as if flipping through some sort of database of a variety of different weapons, tools, and generally heavy and pointy objects.

"Handmade and custom," she threw out, because that was important, too. "I'm real good at the fancy detailing work if you wanted to make it as pretty as it is useful. Maybe I'll have to swing by sometime and have a look at what you got, and we can workshop from there."

"Sure! And maybe I can hook you up with some fire safety stuff, even beyond what's required by code. Can never be too careful, right?"
