Greg quietly sat in room 313, his chemistry set before him, reflecting on the events of the past few days.
First, there had been Shirtless Day, which he had
naturally participated in, and then helpfully
recreated the night before. And while shirtless on Friday, he'd had an interesting talk with
Isabel. And that hadn't been a conversation he'd wished he was fully clothed for, nope.
Then later on that night, he'd noticed what
Tyler was up to - the idiot - and tried to stop him. Failing that, he'd chatted with
Zack until Tyler'd
blown himself up and they'd had to take him to the
clinic.
Greg sighed, and carefully measured out luminol and sodium hydroxide and gently dropped them into water to dissolve. This was a fun and easy home experiment and there was barely any heat involved.
At least
Tyler's roommate agreed. And upon returning to the common room, he had to
agree that Shirtless Day kind of rocked, even if he'd gotten
photographed against his will. Not like he minded much.
Then on Saturday, he'd met
Alanna and re-met
Bridge who was not "Brad" and who was apparently psychic. Which was a little tough to deal with, Greg decided, as he dissolved two and a half grams of potassium ferricyanide in water, and added five milliliters of hydrogen peroxide. He doled out the correct amounts of both solutions and poured them together into a beaker, smiling as he stirred gently.
Harder to follow was the
demon thing, which was why he was carefully measuring out fluorescein. He wasn't anywhere near figuring out how Bel had done the teleporting thing, but the fire? That was easy enough to discern. It was just a matter of seeing which compounds he'd used to create the effects.
He flicked off the lights and combined the solutions again, letting out a soft, "Oooh." He scribbled down some notes on a pad of paper beside him.
He'd forgotten he'd left the door slightly cracked, though, so anyone who wandered past might see some interesting glowing from within the darkness of the room.
[Open to roomie or anyone who wants to WTF at my boy.]
