at 00:57 | [Side] For SCIENCE! (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Tony looks at Keri, and then back at Professor H.
"I think I speak for both of us when I say we would be honored. This totally beats making plastic bottle robots out of scrap and Radio Shack parts."

The Professor practically spins in place as she scans the room with a thoughtful expression.
"I suppose we should start by cleaning up this mess and sorting out all of the parts we have."

"So, what's the robot for?" Tony asks as he starts organizing different pieces.

Then a pause long enough to become awkward later she says, "Or to make money for the school. I suppose that works just as well, even though it's boring."

at 03:29 | [Side] For SCIENCE! (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)"Go big or go home, right?" Tony jokes.
"So, what is it going to do? Pick the vegetables in the greenhouse, or help take care of the grounds? Or is it supposed to be one of those robots that's supposed to mimic human movement?"

Why, thank you Mr. Dice Roller.
15:17, Today: Keri Griffith rolled 25 using 1d20+5. Technology.

at 23:39 | [Side] For SCIENCE! (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Tony tries to focus on the task at hand, but is too distracted by the novelty of the laboratory, the cutting edge nature of the parts, and the sheer awesomeness that looks to be his science elective...
OOC:
Today: Tonauac 'Tony' Torres rolled 2 using 1d20. Technology-Robot Parts. Not only did I fail my roll, I failed to put my +5 modifier on there. It should be 7. x_x

at 23:45 | [Side] For SCIENCE! (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)After about half an hour or so, the Professor sighs.
"Try to contain yourself, Tony. Keri looks just as excited, but she's putting all the right parts together."
Neither student can recall the Professor using their names before, or the names of any of the other students for that matter.

at 00:36 | [Side] For SCIENCE! (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)The Professor looks around at the much cleaner and more organized piles of parts and says, "This should be good enough. We have three-fourths of an hour left in the period, so let's try to at least draft a design for the foot that is stable."
Technology rolls, go!

"Also," he adds with a soft whisper, "I'm a little distracted by the professor...this is the first time I feel like she actually likes us being here...and I'm worried that I'm blowing my chance at a good impression..."

at 01:03 | [Side] For SCIENCE! (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Despite the Professor's prior claims to find dealing with robotics annoying, her genius is almost palpable as the duo of youngsters contribute what they can. At the designated time, a small buzzing sound in the Professor's pocket causes her to stop, extract her phone, and swipe away the alarm.
"Class dismissed. The doors open from the inside. Wait for me outside of the lab door tomorrow instead of going to the science classroom," she says.
The students are confident the foot they've designed will work, even if Tony chipped a claw trying to demonstrate an idea he had early on.

at 14:35 | [Side] For SCIENCE! (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)"Okay," Tony says in a slightly disappointed tone. He puts down the pieces he is working on, and crosses out another idea that turned out better in theory than in practice.
"Thanks, Prof. H. This class is...well, it's better than I ever dreamed it could be. I'll bring my 'A' game next class, I promise."
He follows Keri out.
"Dang, Keri, you were on a roll today! That idea on how to speed up the foot's toe servos was pure genius!"

She blushes, her skin being pale enough that it's clearly visible. "Now that we know what to expect, I'm sure you'll outdo me next time. I'm the youngest of four, I'm good at shutting out distractions in order to work."
