Mythbusting, Tuesday, Period 2

Jul 07, 2009 08:15

Class started too early in the morning, in a science classroom equipped with lab tables, Bunsen burners, and the faint smell of past explosions gone wrong. Safety goggles and gloves were at each workstation, as were supplies that might look familiar to anyone who'd taken a class with Professor Durden before ( Read more... )

General Class Stuff + Introductions[7/7] tyler_back July 7 2009, 12:24:32 UTC

Because it's what you do the first week.

Francine perched on a stool, wrapping her feet around the rungs. "I'm Francine Peters. I'm a senior, and I guess I signed up for this class because Katchoo's in it and I don't want her to blow herself up without supervision I like that show about the same thing? So it seemed like it might be fun."

You know that game where when your feet are propped up on something and you're nervous, you slip your shoes on and off trying not to drop them? Maybe it's a girl thing. "I don't like fighting." True. "I don't want to fight anybody." Lie. She had a name, a face, and an address, and she wouldn't say any of them out loud in a room with Katchoo if you stole her shoes and held a bunsen burner under her toes.

"Hi, Francine," Tyler said. "I hope class will be fun."

He noticed the shoe game and tilted his head slightly, watching it. "And that's fine. But don't lose your shoes in the lab."

Burns on feet, not fun.

What, you thought Francine could do the shoe thing in class and Katchoo wouldn't notice? (Say "What, you thought water wasn't wet?" and the answer would be the same.) Furthermore, you thought Katchoo wouldn't notice that in conjunction with Francine's claims that she wouldn't fight anyone?

Katchoo didn't call her on it, but she did send a quizzical look Francine's way.

At some point when Francine wasn't looking.

The answer she'd lied about was one Katchoo had given freely enough in the class where they'd first met back up last summer. Three days shy of a year ago, actually. Francine had just been a little too preoccupied with the name at the beginning of Katchoo's introduction to pick up the one at the end.

"My name is Helen Haras-Uquara and I'm a junior. I chose this class because I thought it could be useful to know some practical skills along this line. And," her eyes darkened, "I should be more than willing to fight Them again, should those demons ever return."

Re: General Class Stuff + Introductions[7/7] tyler_back July 7 2009, 14:31:06 UTC

"Hey, Helen," Tyler said, with a tiny half-wave. "Good to have you here. Who's Them?"

Re: General Class Stuff + Introductions[7/7] elephantgadget July 7 2009, 15:56:50 UTC

"They are a group of demons who took over the worlds and used them to play... war games basically," Helen explained. "We found Them and killed many of them and drove the others off for good."

Re: General Class Stuff + Introductions[7/7] tyler_back July 7 2009, 16:48:13 UTC

So, not someone to piss off.

"Thank you for explaining, Helen. I hope you enjoy class."

Re: General Class Stuff + Introductions[7/7] elephantgadget July 7 2009, 16:50:42 UTC

"I'm sure I will," Helen said with a smile.

"I'm Chuck Bass and I'm a senior. I'm in this class because--" Sam was in here to do most of his work for him. "--I've seen that show a lot on TV and thought it was interesting."

Liar.

"And I'm more of a lover than a fighter."

Liiiiiiiiar.

Re: General Class Stuff + Introductions[7/7] tyler_back July 7 2009, 14:54:25 UTC

"Hey, Chuck. It's a good show," Tyler said affably. And so what if Tony disagreed? Tony had issues.

"So there's nobody you want to punch?"

Re: General Class Stuff + Introductions[7/7] rocksthescarf July 7 2009, 15:08:23 UTC

"Well I'm sure if I really thought about it I could think of a couple of people." Peter Petrelli. "And, you know, the last time I threw a punch I ended up having sex with the guy instead so I'm not entirely sure I'm doing this whole physical violence thing right."

Chuck Bass had no concept of TMI, Chuck Bass needed no concept of TMI.

Re: General Class Stuff + Introductions[7/7] tyler_back July 7 2009, 15:15:49 UTC

"I'm sorry, Chuck, sex ed was yesterday," Tyler informed him flatly, wondering why this kid kept reminding him of Tony. "No punching anybody during class no matter where you think it's going to lead. Okay?"

Re: General Class Stuff + Introductions[7/7] rocksthescarf July 7 2009, 16:03:01 UTC

"Can do, sir," Chuck said.

Re: General Class Stuff + Introductions[7/7] thismaskiwear July 7 2009, 15:41:50 UTC

"Katina Choovanski, senior, it sounded like fun," she said shortly. The long answer was that she liked the show, and she liked the idea of spending a workshop trying to prove why certain things were a load of crap, and if she got to blow things up in the process it'd be a bonus, but that would involve more talking about herself than she wanted to do. With a stubborn set to her jaw, she added, "I answered the last question for you last year."

Translation: I'm not admitting to that in a room with Chuck Bass.
