[Class] Mad Science 101 - HW on Page 22!

[prolixity]

Really? Really?

... awesome.

"Go get'em, little dude," Nahm crowed, and kicked his boxbot towards the rampaging monsterbot. A noble sacrifice! Or maybe just an easy kill. Either way? This was going to be funny.  

[LP]

Willow wasn't reallyyy sure about sending her little robot towards this new thing. Looking a bit concerned she sent out her little bot with the bludgeon and hoped it managed to do at least something.

"Poor little bot thing." She muttered as she watched it roll out. She didn't do much to it except adjust the little weapon that it had.  

[Bilious]

The robots gathered like ancient battlers prepared to join forces against a towering, wretched foe. The great black robot sat, like a horrific statue as the littler, quicker-made robots swarmed. Tiny weapons sprang forth, jabbing and swatting and attempting to lift.

"It is my advice," drifted Barth's voice from behind the desk again, "that anyone who likes their eyes intact and does not have protective eyegear of some variety or another...put on your goggles."

Christof's smile widened, the light of the halogen lamps glinting off of his goggles as he raised his third hand up to the controller as well and the behemoth sprang to life.

The blade whirled, first slamming directly into Lizzy's cowering lovebot and it's little digital friend alike with one buzzing, gut-wrenching, sparking spray of parts and torn cardboard, the abused flower launching into the air to slowly drift- still whirring Christof showed Colette's robot no remorse, perhaps hacking and chopping away a bit more than was necessary, the clamp arm instinctively snatching up the next robot to it's side- Christof realized it was Amrita's robot too late, just as the thing was sent launching into Jericho's in a sudden burst of light and fire.

The sudden burst of heat from the spreading flames pushed the drifting flower back up into the air as the deathbot swung around, wheels squealing against the cement floor to charge directly into Sammy's robot, impaling it with it's closed clamp against the side of a wooden table leg. The sad but valiant fighter squirmed, trying it's best to fight for it's Master's honor but it was too late, the clamp suddenly opening only to rend the project to shreds. Willow and Raziel's robots seemed to be a bit more apprehensive as they rolled forward, exchanging tiny digital looks of panic. The saw blade resumed it's spinning, and the wheels screeched- it was coming it was coming it was coming for THEM. The little robots, powered by the sheer will to survive reversed their own wheels direction, choosing it better to die in the small cardboard inferno behind them than to be torn to pieces.

It was Riley's robot that came next, perhaps picking up on the general dynamics between the two pilots, but at that point Christof was beyond recognizing who's robot was who's, his hunch shuddering in tightly bound and stitched away laughter as one hand launched the robot forward at top speed while another readied the arm controllers between one hand and the third pressed an additional series of buttons. This had been Barth's ingenuity to develop, and Christof had surprised him when he had suggested the tiny missiles. The mindflayer's robot powered forward, ready to crash into it's foe, flipping device aimed forward, but the Igor-Sloth made robot suddenly stopped in it's tracks. A door on it's chest suddenly popped open as a series of bottle rockets were erupting forth with several whistle-like shrieks, smoky trails twisting all the way into the poor brave robot in question. It erupted in a blaze of color and light, parts scattering amongst the growing wreckage.

As though ready to avenge its fallen comrades, Hel's robot rushed forward the moment the smoke cleared, flipping device suddenly brandished like a sword. Christof's robot, doors still swinging open heaved it's clamp around to strike at the flipper as though the had locked swords. The movements became so quick, it was hard to keep up with the motorized swordplay and while the Deathbot seemed distracted, Nahm's robot wobbled forward somehow miraculously, landing down a hammer blow to the villain's "shoulder". The saw-blade lashed out as it parried with it's clamp and rubber bands suddenly erupted from their tension, shattering to launch across the room. The clamp was then thrust forward, impaling the Valkyrie-built robot and lifting it in the air as Taryn and Roch's robots leaped forward. The clamp occupied by robocorpse, the blade could only swing back and forth at one direction, Christof's mind spinning with adrenalin as he tried to catch either as they danced in and out of view. West's robot crept around, as though basking in the havoc, just slow enough to keep out of the hunchback's attentions before surging forward, rammer bared directly into the open doors that lead to the revealed heart of the Deathbot. Sparks flew, and blades whizzed and with the dying Deathbot's final ounce of strength, it swung Hel's robocorpse down onto it's attackers, leaving all robots in question thoroughly... defeated.

As the crushed flower finally drifted down to the wreckage littered floor, Christof set down his controller. He quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher, looking rather pleased with himself as he tamed the flames.

Barth was not sure destroying everything was good for their classmate's self-esteem, but it seemed to be doing...something for Christof. He cleared his throat.

"Ah, yes, err, as you can see, Mad Science is...1 part creation, and the other part- well."

Christof once more made the gesticulation for "destroy", accompanied by a muffled attempt at a sound effect.

"Innovation."

Pleased by the outcome of events, and fire properly smothered in blessed retardant, the Igor hummed as he once more dug under Barth's bench, the top now cleared of junk as he piled up a series of shoe boxes filled with supplies.

Eyeing West, Roch and Taryn, he dropped something special into their boxes before pushing them forward to make sure the right people took them.

OOC

Congratulations, Future Mad Scientists! You have successfully completed Mad Science 101.

You are free to mingle before leaving class, and play along with aftermath, but in your first post please include your Minipet username and RP your student taking a Derpbot Kit from the bench.

West, Roch and Taryn, for defeating the Deathbot, please also choose either: Patchwork Lepus, Octopussy or Bearded Carry On along with your minipet name!

Thanks, everyone, this was a hoot!

Danny smiled and cheered with everyone else when the robot was destroyed. She was probably the only one in the room that cheered a tad louder when it burst into flames. She was definitely the only ones that booed when Christof sprayed it out.

She happily nabbed up her little shoebox of supplies and poked around inside. Tape, cardboard, metal, glue. It seemed to have a lot of little useful bits! But ... what was she supposed to do with it?

Maybe Taryn would know. She walked up to the ghoul and offered a sneak attack hug in congratulations. "Good job Taryn!" she said happily over the ghoul's shoulder. She gestured to the shoebox and said, "D'you know what these are for?"

((minis sn is chimarii! <3))  

[Bittiface]

The winners had to fight...wow. Mot gulped and rubbed his neck. "Good luck with that, little lady." He murmured to Collete, stepping back and out of the way of this one.

Mot leapt backward as the patchwork began his destructive fight with the robots. His sympathy went out to Collete and her robot. Well, now she knew the pain of losing a robot too, but still. His sympathies, truly. The parts flying everywhere, missles even. It was... terrifying. The reaper grimaced at the smoking mess left by the demonstration.

Well. Another weird class was done now. Mot removed the goggles from his hat and approached the front of the class to get his homework.

Ugh.. homework.

((BritaLee))  

[Nio Love]

Riley wasn't wearing her goggles. It was time for the class to learn a necessary lesson in safety - from experience.

As the robots were being destroyed, Riley watched with a bright, interested gaze. After all, destruction was always fun to watch. But it was not fun to feel.

As blades went flying, one of them whizzed right by Riley's face. She backed up, but it wasn't quick enough - and she received the sharpest shave of her life. When she straightened, a tiny line of red blossomed across the middle of her face.

....

It was like the worst papercut ever.

She slapped both hands across her face, and a keening sound left her. It was like a cat slowly dying.

Ow. Ow ow ow. Ow. Jericho, get my box for me, I need to go get a band-aid. Ow.

[Blade Kuroda]

The battle raged on for what felt like a century. Many bots were claimed but eventually, the champion stood. The rest saw their better; West's pacifist robot stood, turned all else to litter.

It was the ultimate showdown, of ultimate bot history. Good bots, bad bots, and explosions, as far as the eye could see. But only one had survived, I wonder who it would be? This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate bot history.

Jericho stared in wonder as he saw that occur. That. Was. Epic.

"Hell yeah!" he grinned before looking over at West, "Well done du--!"

The dragon cringed sharply as he heard an awful noise come from Riley. Twitching, he stared over at her.

"R-Riley?" he stammered out, seeing her clutching her face. Tiamat's s**t, what the hell happened? Gritting his teeth, he ran to grab two boxes. One for himself and one for Riley before rushing over.

Willow watched the mass destruction of the bots, frowning as she did. She had a feeling she should've known that was coming as the bot Christof was controlling headed towards hers with a saw blade, before noticing her little bot headed straight into the fire behind it.

That was unfortunate, to say the least. "Oh bother...." She said softly granted after all the little bots work she saw the larger bot having basically been defeated as the last three bots died a valiant death. The tiger ghoul seemed a bit surprised that there were boxes produced; it looked like another kit, maybe they had to make another bot? She seemed excited with the prospect.

The Byakko waited for an opportune moment to fetch herself a kit; hoping to get one when there wasn't that large of a crowd. When she finally got the kit she tucked it under her arm and retreated to the back of the room, to wait for the rest of the clamor to subside. She didn't have anywhere to be so it would be okay, the ghost figured; to hang back and let the room clear out a little.

Roch pulled off his goggles, grinning like a madman at the carnage. "Jack DAMN that was awesome!" he pronounced. "Best class EVER, even better than the attacking dust bunnies!" Roch, clearly, was just a little destruction happy. "I didn't know mad scientists had such awesome jobs!"

((SN: Ice Queen
and I'd love to get an octopussy please! I think Roch won a bunny in Christof's booth<33))  

[Chobi_Chocobo]

Charlie had... been distracted this whole time with his goggles. The demon snap snapped snapped with them the whole time so it was a surprise to Charlie to hear that class was in deed over.

He frowned deeply.

That was until he saw the wreck before him. . . What? But there was no time for that. The demon grabbed his kit and hurried out the door. He had other things to do today.

Colette had a perpetual frown after the robot battle. The robot she worked so hard to make: dead. Back to bits of nothing. This was probably how Mot had felt.

With nothing to do but leave the charred remains of her short-lived bot behind, Colette removed her safety goggles and approached the bench to claim a box of stuff for herself.

When Levi joined them, the Baku beamed brightly at their friend, her tail waving behind her. Unfortunately, before they could launch into a conversation, the winning robots were all called away to battle...and a mass robo-slaughter occurred.

Xiu could only watch on in horror. Poor fail-bot and derp-bot. They just could never get a break, could they?

With all the flying parts, it was a good thing that she was wearing her goggles--safety was important! Unfortunately, when she heard a strange noise come from Riley's direction, she realized that the mindflayer must have learned that the hard way. Ears drooping, she glanced towards Riley with concern, and then back to Lizzy and Levi. "D-do you think she's okay?"

When she noticed that everyone was grabbing something, Xiu went get three boxes for herself, Levi, and Lizzy. She held them out to the two ghouls, though her concerned gaze drifted back to the mindflayer after a moment. It wasn't...it wasn't anything serious, right? Poor Riley!

[Pepzilla]

Bul had watched the battle unfold in the middle of the room cheering and throwing his arms up wildly to egg the little bots onward.

"WOOOO Yea!! YIKES!" Ducking as a couple bits of shrapnel went flying across the room, he managed to somehow miss getting a scrape like Riley had and winced when he saw the mindflayer beginning to bleed a bit. There was no need to jump to her aid though as Jericho rushed to her side. The boil was proud of his lack of injuries considering they were pretty common for him in classrooms.

When all was finally said and done he went up to the front table to grab a toolkit to take away with him. He'd make a Little Buddy Mk. II that would be far superior to the pitiful discarded heap he had left in the arena. "Thanks for this you guys, this is how a class SHOULD be," Bul remarked to Barth and Christof.

[Bilious]

Still floating on the adrenalin of battle, Christof was all smiles as he handed out boxes, nodding to the positive reactions until he felt the mental hiss of pain in his mind. Mistress? He nearly dropped the little robot kit at the sight of blood, shoving Barth out of the way as he pulled out the first aid kit from under the desk and rushed towards the wounded Mindflayer.

Mistress! Mistress I am so sorry! I... I warned you to wear protection! I am sorry, here! He already had pealed three colorful bandages ready to go by the time he got to her with a desperate whine.  

[Nio Love]

Riley used one hand to brush off all the nervous reactions, while the other remained covering her face. Yes, yes, I know. I was reckless. You needn't remind me. She took one of the bandages from Christof, and used it to wipe across her face, leaving a nasty red streak. Then she took a second bandage, and stuck it firmly across her face.

The band-aid had tiny glow in the dark bugs printed on it.

It was also neon orange.

Riley looked ridiculous.

She took her box from Jericho, and sulked thoroughly. It was a good class, Christof. A good class.
