Extremely Unsafe Science With Beaker, Tuesday, July 12, 2022

[meepmeepmeep]

When the students arrived in the Danger Shop, they would find Beaker behind lab table and a small, furry weasel in glasses, a suit, and a tie standing next to him.

Before Beaker could open his mouth, the weasel began to speak. "I'm Joe from Legal," he began, adjusting his glasses, "here to assure you that Mr. Beaker is not in breach of his teaching contract for getting so distracted by fireworks last week than he neglected to show up for class. ALLEGEDLY."

Using "allegedly" made him a real lawyer. Everyone knew that.

Beaker nodded emphatically, then pulled out an absolutely enormous number of fireworks from under the table.

"The school would like to remind you that in signing up for this class you have waived the right to sue for loss or gaining of limbs, minor or major smoke inhalation, and turning into animals, minerals or vegetables for any duration of time. You are also solely responsible for any mistakes you may make to the space-time continuum," Joe from Legal rattled off, shoving a bunch of papers towards Beaker. "Sign here."

Beaker put the fireworks down on the table--how was one of them lit already?--and signed.

"Hold onto your legal briefs, kids!" Joe said, throwing his head back and laughing uproariously at his own joke before racing out of the room just in time for the firework to explode against the Danger Shop ceiling.

"MEEP!" Beaker said, clapping excitedly. "Meep meep meep?"

Who else wanted to make things explode? All of you, right?

Listen to the lecture!

[meepmeepmeep]

Or be amazed that an actual weasel was a lawyer. Or maybe it's not that weird for here.

Sakaki wouldn't have appreciated the joke, anyway, even if she wasn't so completely in awe of the adorableness of said weasel lawyer right now. The little suit! His little tie! Those glasses!

Sakaki hadn't heard even a word of what he was saying, either, she was just too cute-struck at the moment for pretty much anything.

Which meant she actually hadn't expected it when the fireworks went off, and she was then just hoping they'd been loud enough that no one had heard the undignified sound that escaped her once they'd pulled her out of her daze.

Alara had no idea how she had ended up in this class and was watching those fireworks rather nervously.

She had a feeling this wasn’t what her parents had in mind when they wished she’d take extra academic based classes.

Re: Listen to the lecture!

Miguel was more or less listening. He was also watching that lit firework and counting down in his head gleefully.

Set off fireworks!

[meepmeepmeep]

No way will this end in loss of fingers and toes! Probably! But if you did, the waiver covers the school from liability!

Goose was absolutely setting off those fireworks, besides he had a healing factor he figured he’d be fine.

He had no idea if said healing factor meant he would grow limbs back or not though.

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep mee!" Beaker said, thrilled with the enthusiasm.

"I do sort of think this is a job for professionals, maybe?" Alexis tried. "It's just I've got really good limbs."

Re: Set off fireworks!

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep meep meep mee meep!" Beaker protested.

Surely being a passionate amateur was the same!

Re: Set off fireworks!

Belle was torn between wanting to explode something because it looked terribly exciting and not wanting to explode something because it looked terribly dangerous.

"I'm not certain this is wise..."

Maybe she'd just sit back and watch? Or be talked into it by an unwise classmate. But probably the former.

Re: Set off fireworks!

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep mee mee?"

What could possibly go wrong here, Belle?

Re: Set off fireworks!

[what_the_shock]

Okay, setting off fireworks himself wasn't quite as much fun as watching Beaker do it and wondering what would go wrong, but they were still pretty fun, and Miguel would absolutely light them!

Talk to Beaker!

Joe from Legal is long gone. That's how Joe from Legal still has a job. Plausible deniability.

OOC

[meepmeepmeep]

I adore Joe from Legal.
