lab day

Who: Holmes and YOU!
When: Sept 29
Where: A random classroom
What: Holmes is overseeing a chemistry class. Everyone gets to mix solutions and get points for doing it!
Warnings: Mild lab accidents

[Today, you will find that Holmes has commandeered an empty classroom and turned it into a chemistry lab. Of a sort. There are tables with chemistry sets spread around, and a lot of scribbling on the whiteboard that serves as an explanation behind the science, the methods, the various intended results, and what they indicate. They range from basic to relatively advanced. I am not a chemistry person, so I am skipping the details, but use your imagination!

If you are lucky, you catch him either at the beginning or end of his lecture, which might make your understanding of whatโ€™s on the whiteboard clearer. That said, he is an odd teacher โ€” fascinating to watch, but whether or not he instructs in a manner that makes it all stick is debatable. He rarely goes over problems more than once, and there is an air that he expects his โ€œstudentsโ€ to understand in one go.

Near the end, he says:]


Now then, we will treat this class as a ramshackle laboratory. Upon each table is an experiment, which I expect you to conduct as Iโ€™ve taught. Move from the first table onward, then report back to me.

Donโ€™t dally, now.

(( OOC: The INSTRUCTIONS are pretty simple:

-Start at Table 1, and follow the instructions to roll a die.
-Comment with your result.
-Wait for me to reply with either a success or a failure with very mild consequences. Feel free to thread with others/threadjack at any time during the process!
-Move on to the next table until the end!
-Get 50 points for doing an experiment! Yay!!))

Not every emotion someone has is nut to be cracked, Mister Adair.

I don't know! Hm? I need to beโ€” [ better, do better, to make up for all that has happened ] โ€”good enough. Bah! It is nonsense, forget I say anything.
