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

[S a l l y S h e e p]

Thanks to this being a class, Colette actually gave Christof her full attention as she watched him manipulate scraps into... something. His 'speech' on the other hand left her with a confused expression. Like all the other exotic languages she had come across so far, she didn't understand this one at all. Colette in fact didn't even catch on that this was some method of talking. It just looked really weird. All in all, the demonstration combined with Barth's explanation came across to the Reaper as:

1. Pick up stuff.
2. Combine stuff.
3. ???
4. Thingy.

Getting up, she grabbed an armful of anything that looked useful for herself and headed back to her desk. Then Colette promptly stared at all the junk she grabbed.

"....."

Wat do wit dis.

Colette picked up a round little object with a hole in the center and held it up to her eye, looking through before she shoved it against another item. Next, another thing followed, and then a wire after that, and after that whatever else she could get her hands on. Eventually it pretty much looked like a mediocre, maybe average for someone who had no idea what they were doing, thing similar to her neighbor's; except for the spatula sticking out of the front... and the size. Why was it so small?. The cardboard body wasn't all too impressive either, but Colette was satisfied and brushed off her hands as if it they had actually gotten really dirty.

All that was left was the final step.

Holding her hands out it front of her, Colette tried making the same weird motions Christof had as if it would actually make this thing useful.

No, the ??? wasn't a blank, unknown step. It stood for weird hand motions. Duh.

Hel poked her robot and cringed as a few more bolts fell off. Oops! She hurriedly pushed them back into their proper places and even smothered it with some more tape. When Mot called out to her, she looked over, feigning disappointment. “Aww friend, I’m disa—“ The faux look quickly disappeared as she stared at the cowpusher to be replaced by a wide grin. “I approve!” She quickly said, forgiving the cowboil for not putting the hat on it.

Speaking of hats. Hel glanced up at him and paused, then leveled a stare at him. “Mot. Seriously?” The valkyrie questioned, pointing at the goggles on top of his hat.  

[Pales]

After settling down she started building or rather she laid her items down. A board, a bottle of some sort of glue, a spring, a string, and a hammer, it didn't help that she just grabbed things at random.

"Oh...I see, thank you for explaining," she said softly to the boil that addressed her that was Xiu's friend. She then paid attention to Xiu herself as she took the time to correct her goggles. The filmy view didn't help her vision at all. It should make building interesting. "Yes, I feel much better. That was very silly of me not to look them over first," she admitted softly a small tinge appearing on her cheeks before she delved into building.

She sat back and felt...Impressed. Absurdly impressed. She did wonderful! Lattice was very impressed with her own ingenuity. Her creation was a thing of beauty and she named it 'Punishment'.

 

[Bloodlust Dante]

maybe it was all the clattering of pieces being put together haphazardly in class, or even the overbearing sound of him grinding his teeth, But Damien completely missed the antagonizing of Westus. He was far too busy creating a tiny robot out of a thimble, matchbox car and pile of magnetized iron shavings to go on top of the thimble skull of Roboroch.

With his tiny masterpiece done, he was ready to flip the little reaper immortalized robot out of existence, until a errant piece of machinery made a glancing shot off the spiky haired robot and onto the floor in pieces. its hair fell in ribbons and left the thimble bald like a newborn scareling fresh out of the pumpkin and brought a grin to his maniacal face. At least until he remembered that it wasn't himself who caused it. "What th' jacking.. Westus." he snarled out after he turned around and saw the assailant. and the dark eyed hound threw his own spare screw at the demon's robot.

"Go blow yerself, I'm jacking peachy." he barked back, stepping on the tiny robot into the floor with unbridled aggravation. "Yer robot's missing a screw, jus' like yerself ya b*****d." he grumbled back lowly. Of all the times for Westus to bug him, he would have to pick right now.

The fact that he may drink up anger like it was liquid candy may have slipped the polycephalic hellhound's mind. "Wha d'ya want, Pain in the arse." he asked after a few moments of staring at the boil's annoying smirk.

Roch was going to get company in that well by the looks of it.  

[Huni Pi]

Legs saw the parts the Igor had produced and STARED. Or rather, she sort of just stood rooted on the spot, silently screaming herself into a fit. PARTS. PARTS! SHE HAD COMPETITION!!!! Of course she was organic while they were mechanical and thus her upper half would NEVER be able to merge with them when the time came but...

Seeing her winged portion start to work and a rather pleased expression appear on Tess' face, Legs didn't want to risk being ALONE FOREVER. And so, she sashayed up to where her publicly-conservative self was working and in Morse code lightly remarked at the intriguing placement of the ramming aspect of the contraption.

Luckily it doesn't have legs.

The suggestive imagery Legs had left in Tess' mind had distracted the winged ghoul too much that while she managed to complete the robot, it was... not very well made. Tess had attempted at something medium sized but ended up small. Mostly because it was falling apart, the wires and string tying the rammer to the wooden body looked like they would come undone any moment.

Maritess felt too embarrassed to keep working on it. Especially as the jutting portion was a tad too suggestive to her brain at that moment.

((Rammer, Poorly Made, 6 HP))  

[Smerdle]

Ah. There. It took a while, but Damien finally noticed him. At least it was worth the wait. Well, it was worth the wait until the stupid kid threw a screw at his innocent robot.

"I dun want anythin' a'yours, puppy," he muttered, slathering more glue on his creation and moving its slipping pieces back into place. "Just came t'tell you yer doin' a great job. Really. You're just a master jackin' builder." West shoved his robot's ramming device back into the empty hole in its chest. Somehow this wasn't quite going as planned.  

[Bilious]

Christof had quietly milled about the classroom, looking exceptionally pleased by his classmate's ingenuity. In theory, these robots should not function. He had read the files Dr. Hyde had given him over and over, but there really hadn't.... been much useful information by way of curriculum. Honestly, he just wanted an excuse to see some robot fighting, and share his love of Good Parts with his fellow students. He felt, ultimately, they had gotten the right idea. Perhaps it was Fear that made the little things suddenly come to life and obey their controllers. Perhaps his classmates really were more clever with circuitry and wiring than he gave them credit for. Who knew? As he passed by Riyo's robot, his brows furrowed and he gave it a few pieces of tape just to spruce it up a bit.

Unfortunately, no one had technically taken the fog-horn away from him. With a fresh BLOOOOOOOooooooooop that ran out of steam at the end, at least it seemed it was out of air. Hopefully it's last dying cry was enough to get the other student's attention.

The hunchback stood on a chair, lowering the fog-horn with a pleased nod before simply signing a single phrase: DESTROY!

That said, he whirled around to quickly write a series of names on the board.

It would seem when everyone had been busy, he had cleared out an area of the floor into a series of small fighting rings in tape on the floor, and invitingly motioned for everyone to arrange their table tops off to the side to make even more room.

"Alright," Barth said, "Time to see what they're made of," To Christof as an aside he added, "...Reminds you a bit of field trips, doesn't it?

'Less-Jolly' Christof signed back, once he had finished with his chalk scribbling.

_(JERICHO) _Attacking _(LATTICE)_! Go robot go!
HP: 6
Robot's Weapon: Flipper
Damage Delt: 0

Fighting robots? This sounded amazing! Riley had a pretty good robot from what he could tell. His own... well... it could use a bit of work. But he was certain that it would do just fine.

Furrowing his brow, he set his robot down in one of the rings, staring down Lattice.

"ATTACK! DRAGONBOT!"

Giving off a.... weird noise, the robot spurt forth towards the other. As the flipper tried to go off, it instead burst into flame. Well... maybe that could still be used as a weapon... Maybe.

In any case, the bot didn't even make it to the opponent before sputtering down to take a break.  

[Pales]

Lattice Attacking Jericho! Go robot go!
HP: 6
Robot's Weapon: Bludgeon
Damage Delt: 0


Lattice moved a bit under the intensity of the stare that the boil gave her before she moved and placed her 'robot' down and quietly set it down with a bit of haste. The spring flung the hammer back and forth all crazily but it certainly didn't move it any closer to Jericho's bot either thus making it miss entirely. She pouted a little at it and then 'looked' up toward Jericho, "Umm...Sorry?"  

[Bittiface]

Mot Attacking Collette! Go robot go!
HP: 7
Robot's Weapon: Rammer
Damage Delt: 2
*Roll 1D6*

Mot was pleasantly pleased to be able to put his creation into battle. As soon as he was allowed, Mot took his pride and joy and hopped over to the ghoul known as Collette.

"Howdy, little lady. How about a friendly fight to the death?" He set his Iron Horse Rammer onto the desk, and took the first strike, his robot rolling forward to ram into the ghoul's robot.  

[Pales]

IGNORE I AM A DERP.  

[Blade Kuroda]

_(JERICHO) _Attacking _(LATTICE)_! Go robot go!
HP: 6
Robot's Weapon: Flipper
Damage Delt: 3

"Eh? What are you apologizing for?" Jericho asked while furrowing his brow. Shaking his head, he stared at the two robots, rooting on for dragonbot.

The flipper arm didn't budge as it shot forth. But... the fire came in contact with the other bot.  

[Pales]

Lattice Attacking Jericho! Go robot go!
HP: 3
Robot's Weapon: Bludgeon
Damage Delt: 0


"For a very ... un-enthusiastic start. " She replied as she started down at her robot as it just swung the hammer about uselessly shuffling a bit to the side when it got hit. This wasn't going to go well for her or the robot she built. Oh dear.  

[Blade Kuroda]

_(JERICHO) _Attacking _(LATTICE)_! Go robot go!
HP: 6
Robot's Weapon: Flipper
Damage Delt:

"Pfft. Don't apologize for that!" Jericho said while staring at the two, "Yeah! Get it again!"

Dragonbot jerked forward with its flipper twitching. It didn't seem to want to move any more than that.  

[Kaiyumi]

_(Xiu)_Attacking _(Lizzy)_! Go robot go!
HP: 7
Robot's Weapon: Flipper
Damage Delt: 0

Xiu had settled back into her seat between Roch and Lattice, trying her best to make do with what pieces she had and what...non-existent building skill she possessed. Needless to say, the robot was just...well, it looked like a plank of wood on wheels, with a flipper set up to act as a catapult when something went over it.

...Hopefully it would only just flip the other robot over, and not fling it across the room at someone. The last thing she wanted to do was cause any casualties with her terrible workmanship. As if in an attempt to cover up just how terrible it was, Xiu removed one of the flowers in her hair and tucked the short stem into one of the nooks of her robot.

T-there. Now it looked.........well, no, that didn't help the robot look better at all.

When the battling partners were assigned, Xiu was a little relieved to find that Lizzy was her partner. To Lattice and Roch, she whispered a "good luck" before hurrying over towards the fighting ring closest to Lizzy. A sheepish grin was directed at the spider demoness as she put down her robot, her cheeks reddening. "Sorry Lizzy, my robot is a mess..."

Putting it down, she waited until they were both ready before she let the robots go at it. Unsurprisingly, her robot missed Lizzy's by a longshot. The Baku facepalmed, but this was followed by a laugh. Well, at least it moved at all!
