"Good job on survivin' yer first week of classes, kids," Kūkaku smirked at the assembled class in front of her. "I'm sure some of you have been workin' on your projects for this week, while the rest of you either slacked off or picked somethin' easy, so let's get those out of the way, and then move onto the lecture. There's safety goggles on yer ( Read more... )

It was your task to find a compound that would make the element you chose last week go boom and explode. There are safety goggles, too. Wear them, or don't. Kūkaku doesn't care so long as no one needs to go to the clinic.

"Sulfur and carbon, mix with oxygen, are the basics of fireworks," Scully said, holding up tiny quantities of same. "Sulfur and charcoal, in this case, with saltpeter. Oh, and some bits of iron for color."

The bang! was louder than the size of the bright light, but the smoke still lingered for a bit.

Scully was looking fairly perky after this.

Kūkaku could never have anything against fireworks. Well, she'd much prefer larger fireworks, but they were in a classroom.

"I like where ya went with that, Scully," she complimented with a smirk. "Now, tell me, you pick that because you know that's what I do, or is it mere coincidence?"

Scully blinked, and said honestly, "Coincidence. Also, my other option involved a microwave, and I wasn't sure I wouldn't completely wreck it if I got the proportions wrong."

"Why wouldn't you want to completely wreck it?" Kūkaku had to ask.

Scully blinked, then weakly said, "Shrapnel?" Since clearly the destruction of school property would barely register, apparently.

"Ain't that what the safety goggles are for?" Kūkaku asked.

Cassidy was very careful as she talked about Iridium and how in it's powdered form it had been known to ignite in air.

Yes, it ignited and made an impressive bit of smoke and light.

Thankfully the shield she had put up around her work station had kept the mini-explosion contained.

Cassidy was looking very fascinated by the bit of explosion.

Kūkaku couldn't help smirking slightly. "Nice work; you blow things up often?"

Cassidy smiled and shook her head. "No, but it seemed like a good idea to shield the work area after I studied for this presentation. I didn't think that blowing up part of the classroom would get me a good grade in class."

And not get her kicked out of school.

"Well, that would depend on how much style ya did it with," Kūkaku said with a smirk.

Especially since it would likely get her kicked out of school, as well. Still, if it was done well, she couldn't think of a better way to go.

But she did tap her forehead a little. "Good thinking, though. Smart. Keep using that up there and you're gonna do pretty well in here, Cassidy."

And prevent Kūkaku from getting yelled at by Watson, probably. So guess who just earned herself some points from Kūkaku.

"Antimony by itself," William said, utilizing a fume hood to do his presentation, since it wouldn't do to expose the classroom to toxic smoke, "is not generally explosive. However, there exists a very rare form of antimony trichloride, which, when heated..." he flicked a switch, raising the temperature inside the hood until-

there was a bang! and some white smoke filled the interior of the device.

"That," he finished neatly.

"Yeah," Kūkaku smirked despite this coming from the Plant. "That. No one take too big of a breath right away. Nice work, Murdoch."

Tony, being the over-intelligent guy he was, ended up making a very small bomb. With robotic limbs. All in all, it managed to look like a spider.

"It's powered by Palladium, so we're just blowing that up."

With science, Tony. With science.

Kūkaku just arched her eyebrow for a moment as she eyed the spider palladium robot, and then shook her head.

"Stark," she said, "you are a nerd."

It almost sounded like a good thing, though.

It was practice for the future Spider-Man!

"I didn't have too much time to work on it," he replied with a frown.
