fandomhigh | Completely Unsafe Science With Beaker, Tuesday, July 19, 2022

There were a few things to notice coming into the Danger Shop for class today. The first was a giant "MELT OR BURN?!" sign over a metal contraption with two giant flame-throwers rigged up to it. The second was a large robot with a metal arm holding a fire extinguisher.

Safety first, kids! Or third. Or maybe tenth?

Beaker stepped up to the table and began speaking. "Meep meep mee meep meep mee!" he began, holding up a not-terribly flattering drawing of Joe from Legal, who had had Concerns about this lesson. "Meep meep meep mee." Beaker's voice turned mocking. "Meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep!"

Joe thought something would explode, like that wasn't the entire purpose of Science! But Joe had insisted that Beaker pass on the word from Legal: a big piece of paper that read "DON'T", which he held up. "Meep meep meep meep meep," Beaker added, moving on and waving at Dum-E, who waved back with the fire extinguisher.

See? Beaker had other science-based friends well-versed in fire safety! Let's set some stuff on fire, kids!

There was a lovely selection of moddable items, including steel wool, marshmallows, metal pans, ugly sweaters, and that picture of Joe from Legal. Beaker had also wheeled in a chalkboard labeled "MELT" and "BURN" at the top to record the findings! Because if you wrote it down, it was science. If you set things on fire for fun, it was pyromania.

The conflicted and distressed look that crossed Sakaki's face at even the idea of a picture of Joe from Legal burning or melting was not to be understated, and there was just a little bit of time spent wrestling with those emotions before she considered the other part in all of this that might have caused concerned.

"Oh," she said. "My hands...they're fine. I'm...working on my communication skills."

A pause.

"With the cats."

Another pause, probably only just proving the fact that 'working on her communication skills' was a much needed endeavor.

"At the shelter."

That obviously cleared things up perfectly, didn't it?

"Oh, did you get scratched?" Gray translated. "I could probably heal those, if you want. Minor wounds are pretty easy," he added, in case she thought he was making a major offer here.

"....bit, actually," Sakaki corrected, as if that was much better, but, honestly, the fact that it had only been bites and not scratches as well was really a testament to the progress that was being made. "And they really don't bother me. I wouldn't want to be any trouble."

Especially since those bandages would be right back in place again next week, probably.
