[tyler_back]

Class met in the Danger Shop today, and there was an array of logs stripped of their bark, gunpowder, and woodworking equipment set up at one end, with blast shields lined up near the middle of the room. Tyler glanced up from his notes as the class assembled

General Class Stuff [7/21]

Listen to the ... well, it's a little bit short to be a lecture.

It was probably bad that Turtle was listening and thinking about how this might put her one up on her sister Angela, wasn't it? Sure, Angela made a bomb out of some present packaging and a candle Turtle had made at summer camp. But Turtle was going to be making a cannon out of a tree.

Totally trumped it.

But here's to hoping that Turtle didn't wind up blowing off part of her face like Angela did. However, Turtle wasn't stupid like Angela was, so it should all work out.

Claire listened. She wasn't sure how well this was going to work, but learning how to make things go boom could possibly come in handy with bad guys chasing her back home.

They were... making a canon. Out of a tree. Anemone was a bit confused as to how this worked, and feeling a bit sorry for the tree, but she was totally willing to try this.

Make a Cannon [7/21]

[tyler_back]

Go to it! Here is a summary and here is a video showing how it worked for the Mythbusters crew. And yes, I'm totally simplifying how their cannon was made. Call it an example of the Rule of Cool.

Dutifully adjusting some safety goggles over her eyes, Turtle cracked her knuckles a little and looked around to see if anyone might want to partner up and help, although she was dedicated to thinking she could handle all her own, too.

"Wanna work together?" Claire asked, barely suppressing a grin as she pulled on her safety gear.

Re: Make a Cannon [7/21]

[stocksgrrl]

"Sure!" Turtle said, not even bothering to suppress her own grin. "You have any cannon building experience, Claire?"

Talk to Tyler [7/21]

He's there.

And look at that!

There was a wizard there to talk to the teacher despite not even being in the class. "Sir?"

Re: Talk to Tyler [7/21]

[tyler_back]

And lo, there was ... a student Tyler had never seen before. He folded his arms across his chest and made himself seem smile. "Yes?"

"Francine asked me to let you know she won't be able to come to class this week," Merlin said, smiling back. "She had to go home... rather suddenly."

Talk to the TAs [7/21]

[tyler_back]

After they tag in!

Ino listened, though she didn't bother writing anything down, not when she was just going to stare, almost defiantly, at Tyler-sensei and wonder, yes, just how exactly did he plan to deal with her?

She'd like to know that too.

Re: Talk to the TAs [7/21]

[tyler_back]

She would have to wait until the end of class to find out; he was a little busy making sure none of the other children blew themselves up. He blatantly ignored the stare.

Finally, after the experiment was done, he found Ino. "Can you stay behind a minute?"

Re: Talk to the TAs [7/21]

"Do I get a choice?" she asked, things all packed up. "Or shall I assume it's an order, Tyler-sensei?"
