[Mike shows up on Cambot, now dressed in a long instructor wizard's robe. It looks a little big on him, and he looks a bit confused about it all. He waves.]

Um, hey everyone! Is it just me, or has it gotten a lot colder around here?

[And then he discovers a scroll in one of his robe pockets.] ...And according to this scroll, I am now qualified to teach. Huuuuh.

[There's a long pause.]

So. What do you guys what me to teach? 'Cause I mean, the only thing I remember how to do from high school or college was how to make those baking soda bombs.

Baking soda bombs always sound like a good thing to teach ta me~

[itsjustamike]

...Didn't you just set your bed on fire last week?

[beforetheflame]

H-Hey, that was on accident!

[itsjustamike]

And I gotta say, if that's on accident, I'm not sure I want to see what happens on purpose...

[beforetheflame]

Hey hey hey, I'm responsible enough!

[itsjustamike]

To only use it on your gym teacher?

[beforetheflame]

[Blinks.]

Huh?

[itsjustamike]

I mean, are you responsible enough to only use it on your gym teacher.

Not that that's really responsible, either.

[beforetheflame]

Pssh! Of course I am!

[itsjustamike]

Wellllll...all right...

[beforetheflame]

[Fist pump into the air.]

Wahoo!!

Alright!

[fatedcircle]

It's not just you.

[itsjustamike]

Oh good.

...Guess it's a good thing these things are warm then, huh?

[fatedcircle]

It's something, yeah.

[itsjustamike]

So you didn't get a little thingie saying you can teach now too, did you?

[fatedcircle]

I didn't.

[itsjustamike]

Got it. Huh, I wonder if I should get a candy jar or something.

[fatedcircle]

[(A... candy jar?)]

For what?

[itsjustamike]

Well, you know! When students are good and get answers correct and don't throw wadded up toilet paper around, you give 'em candy as a reward.

[fatedcircle]

I'm not sure you'll need one here.

[itsjustamike]

You really think everyone here's that well-behaved?

[fatedcircle]

No one's insisting on classes.

[itsjustamike]

Maybe not. Just tryin' to get into the spirit of things.

[fatedcircle]

Odd way to do it.

[cleverkit]

Baking soda bombs?

[Consider her curiosity officially piqued. This is not good.]

[itsjustamike]

Yeah, it's the same principle as those grade school volcanoes. You mix the vinegar with the baking soda and it causes a reaction.

[cleverkit]

Oh yeah? Can you make them so they're time-released or something?

[itsjustamike]

Nnnno, not really. Why would you want to know that anyway?

[cleverkit]

Huh. I was thinking maybe you could keep the baking soda and the vinegar separate somehow, like with some kind of barrier between them in the bomb. Then the barrier would dissolve or something, and then it'd go off!

[She looks alarmingly pleased with herself for that idea before hastily putting on a perfectly innocent expression.]

Oh, um, no reason. Just curious, really...

I had to. I HAAAAD to.

[punsofiron]

Don't encourage her, Mike.

Curiosity killed the cat, remember?

XD

[cleverkit]

It's not like I was gonna do anything bad with them.

That's not funny.

:3

[punsofiron]

It wasn't meant to be funny.

Have you really not noticed how many times innocent shenanigans on this ship have gone wrong?

[cleverkit]

Well, uh... it's just baking soda and vingear! The worst it's gonna do is get foam everywhere, right?

[punsofiron]

Ever heard of "Too much of a good thing?"

[itsjustamike]

Oh, I wouldn't know anything about that. I usually just used a tube of PVC pipe or something.

...Riiiiight.

[cleverkit]

Okay then, thanks for letting me know.

What? I'm not going to make a mess, honest!

[itsjustamike]

...

Yes you are.

[royal_sunrise]

I too have been given one as well.

[itsjustamike]

Really? Oh good, it's not just me then.

...What do unicorns teach? Magic school?

[liefeldisgod]

DUUUUUUDE!

You can make bombs out of baking soda? How come I never learned that in my school, man?

[itsjustamike]

[Uh oh, this really can't end well.]

...Well I didn't really learn it from a teacher.

[liefeldisgod]

You gotta teach me, man! This is gonna be AWESOME!

[itsjustamike]

[WHAT HAS HE GOTTEN HIMSELF INTO]

R-riiiiight.

Uh, these are just for use against your gym teacher, right?

1/2

[liefeldisgod]

It's a promise!

2/2

[liefeldisgod]

...Heeeeey wait a minute, my gym teacher isn't here!

[itsjustamike]

Lucky for your gym teacher, huh?
