Fandom High School

Beaker had the costume! He had the theme music! He was accounting for the snow that was falling!

He hadn't however, accounted for Jane taking his brilliant, amazing, hugely complicated, highly explosive plan to finally getting into Stark Industries and, well, telling Stark about it. And Tony, being a logical sort, had called the cops.

Which was why Troopers were waiting for Beaker on the top of the roof just before he'd ignited all of the fireworks strapped to his back to launch through the roller coaster loop-de-loop.

It would've been so cool, guys.

[OOC: No class due to teacher being arrested. You can't be surprised, really, can you? And many thanks to Lainey for allowing the modding!]

Did the adorable tiny horses ask to be hooked to adorable tiny sleighs to go through an adorable Christmas village? Probably not! But they were being very good sports about going through the obstacle course Beaker had set up for the class.

You were all welcome to add to the village with the moddable equipment Beaker had left out!

No explosives today due to said tiny horses. No one wanted to blow up the whimsy.

Should Beaker have been left alone to watch vintage television? Eh, maybe. Should he have been allowed to rent a helicopter and recruit two dozen Muppet chickens and a turkey wearing sunglasses?

Definitely not.

So, class, that was what you were facing on the top of the cliffs: your teacher meeping loudly over the sound of the helicopter rotors to explain how the chickens would leap magistically out of the helicopter at the appointed moment while singing "It's Thanksgiving", the...somethingest song about Thanksgiving ever. (Can't be hateful, gotta be grateful).

Surely this will end better than the one in fake Cincinnati, right?

Beaker had some strong words (well, strong but very quiet words) for people who expected other people to work on the day after Halloween.

Today, class, you would be working on making an automatic candy unwrapperr very, very quietly.

Well, the fog machines had been successful...ish. For a Beaker class? So now that the problem of blinding the eyes in the ceiling of Stark's buidling had completely not been solved, it was time to move on to a new problem: getting properly fed before attempting the heist!

Which was why the Danger Shop smelled like burned toast and had pancakes on the ceiling: the Automatic Breakfast Machine could use some tweaking.

"Meep meep meep meep meep!" Beaker said, gesturing grandly to the contraption. "Meep meep meep!"

Now it was your turn, class!

"Meeep!" And someone should probablyl notice that fork about to be stuck into the toaster...

Well, you had all learned about making dramatic exits and entrances, even though some kinks needed to be worked out, so Beaker was moving on for the time being. Today they would be working to counteract the foam he kept getting hit with every time he went onto that floor in Stark Tower!

He had umbrellas, raincoats, and brightly colored parachutes, plus an array of springs, trampolines, small fireworks, and a bicycle horn that honked.

Beaker didn't know how that would help to stop spray foam, but he trusted his students' ingenuity!

"Meep meep meep," he said, pointing to the schematics on the wall, which showed an elaborate apparatus meant to block the entire ceiling of a building. "Meep meep meep mee!"

So. At least nothing was exploding yet?

Did the world need to see a Muppet dressed in all black and looking like the stereotype of a cat burgler, aside from the red hair sticking out of the top of the ski mask? Probably not! Would Beaker explain what the room--now full of laser beams intersecting across the space--had to do with overly complicated machinery?

Yes. But via meeps, so it might be of limited use to most of you.

Beaker held up the poster invitation to Stark Industries on Friday night. "Meep!" he said triumphantly. "Meep meep meep meep meep meep--"

He walked over to the new and expanded wall of crazy that which now included plans for a zipline into the Stark Building while the party was happening, as well as multiple costume change options for all of the members of the class, and explained the new plan for breaking in.

Well. "Explained."

In deference to Gonzo's area of expertise, he had also added a cannon from the beach that would probably maybe was unlikely to definitely reach a window into the maker's space.

"Meep meep meep!"

There was no way this hastily assembled and poor explained plan could fail, right?
