Who: YOU
What: Autoshap
When: Same Autoshop Time
Where: Same Autoshop Place
Warnings: Same Autoshop Channel also Falcon is probably going to pull a gun at some point during this class.



[The Smash Academy Autoshop is state of the art, a large, cavernous garage with room for multiple vehicles and projects, work benches and dry-erase boards, tool chests, a bay door that opens to the parking lot, and a lounge-type area that serves as the actual classroom. It is also incredibly clean and organized. WHOEVER RUNS THIS PLACE IS REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT IT.

The guy who runs this place is wearing a giant pair of sunglasses (indoors) and currently has his feet up on his desk, paying absolutely no attention to students who may or may not be entering, because Indeterminate Racing Magazine Monthly is way too enthralling. At least he is on time. Maybe a little hung over? Who knows? Probably that is the case, though.

Falcon gets up when the bell rings, and gets right down to distributing papers.]

Name, grade level, and date on the sheet.

Autoshop is largely an independent study class. We'll be doing some 'how it works'-type theory and demonstrations for those of you who are really new to this, but generally I think this is the kind of thing that requires us to get hands-on. If you have some kind of mechanical project, feel free to work on it here. If there's something you want to work on, but don't exactly know how to get started, this is also the place for that.



[Doesn't that look fun.]

This is your basic internal combustion engine. It's primitive, but it's the standard around here, so that's what we're starting with. I'm not grading this; I just want to see what kind of collective vocabulary we're working with.

[Super fun.]

If you're really clueless, there's a word bank. Take your best guess. For those of you who at least have some working knowledge of mechanics, I'll give a point of extra credit for each word whose function you correctly define on the back of the sheet.

[There he goes. Back to the desk. Looking kind of hung over. He's probably hung over.]

Fifteen minutes. Afterward we'll go over the answers and discuss projects. Get to it.

ROLL CALL/QUESTIONS

Re: ROLL CALL/QUESTIONS

[monotreme_101]

[Look, if Tails could build planes and stuff, how hard could CARS be? He'd driven a few. That was the extent of his actual knowledge.]

[raced_god]

[Famous last words, friend.]

[mach_n_roll]

[In an attempt to avoid the classroom as much as possible, Sonic had signed up for every shop class he could find, and that included this one. The blanket mentality has now officially caught up with him, as he stares at the paper with an elbow on the armrest and his ears askew in puzzlement. Which one was the crankshaft? Is that the oil filter? He thought that was the AIR filter. What's the timing chain actually TIME, anyway?]

[...Hey, he met Tails when the fox boy started fixing the busted-up plane on his island, which was there in the first place because Sonic knew fuck-all about the mechanical. This was going to be an interesting semester.]

[raced_god]

[god all of my students are small animals]

[monotreme_101]

[You get an uneasy wave from a few desks over, Sonic.

Where's Tails when you need to copy all of his answers, huh?]

[wow nice]

You're going to want to tie that back when we're actively working on projects.

WAIT A QUESTION

[flamejock]

TEACHER! Teacher! Teacher! When do we get to drive fast cars! I like to go fast!

what an embarassing individual

[bloodvile]

[Blood has graduated from cone of shame to an actual shock collar with an incredibly kawaii design on it. For what it's worth, he has probably only made two attempts on the Captain's life since acquiring this new piece of jewelery which unsurprisingly is what activates the collar. Whether he tries again will remain to be seen (he will probably try again) but for now he's here in autoshop class. As a student. He's not wearing a student uniform. He is wearing his helmet, an undershirt, and his boxers because he is a baby and still hasn't gotten himself actual clothes and we aren't going to talk about his attempts at washing his flight suit. He also has a tiny trapper keeper in his hands with a skull drawn on the outside in sharpie.

He's just going to sit his ass in the back of the class room and be way too big for the desks and cause all kinds of loud obnoxious screeching shuffling sounds for probably an entire full two minutes until he finally settles preciously in the desk with a tiny creek.

Hi.]

[raced_god]

[Falcon is hung over because he spent the night at the bar following Master Hand's declaration that he would teach all of the students on his roster, batshit clone included. Now the moment is here, and he sort of watches Blood stumble into the classroom in his periphery and Jesus Christ. Someone help this manchild.

Falcon will not be helping this manchild. Falcon doesn't even look up from Generic Racing Magazine Monthly, calmly pulling a gun from behind it and leveling it at Blood, who has only just managed to squeeze himself into his desk. Falcon apparently does not care that there are other students in the autoshop and he has just pulled a gun. If Master Hand doesn't like, it, tough for Master Hand.]

Get out of my classroom.

[In his quest to take more classes that don't just involve fighting, here is Sonny Moe. Fresh faced and with an appetite for knowledge.

And Doritos. What's the class policy on snacking, Teach'? Because he's eating chips.]

[needsmorebiceps]

::Behold, a Max standing around in the back.::

[star_punched]

[Sits in the middle of the class. Not the back, the middle.]

[tempus_fixit]

[Lucca's here. She wasn't late or anything, no, she's just always been here. No, really.]

QUIZ?????

[raced_god]

[Here are the answers in the event your character would know about internal combustion engines but you do not. Defining the components on the back are BONUS POINTS.]

Re: QUIZ?????

[monotreme_101]

[Knuckles looked at the picture kind of puzzled - He'd never put anything like this together.

However.

He'd taken a lot of stuff like this apart. Broken his share of internal combustion engines open. Usually Eggman's toys. Plus, he'd spent enough time around Tails and his mechanical geekery to know at least a few terms. 'Spark Plug' and 'Piston'. Guessing at which was which was a little harder, but he tried his best.]

Re: QUIZ?????

[flamejock]

::Jock stares at the paper. Jock stares and stares and stares and stares and stares.

Jock writes his name on the top, and then flips it over to the back, and flips it over to the front, and flips it over to the back, and then to the front again.

Finally, he writes furiously all over the piece of paper, and then turns it in.::

HAGAKURE'D

[crystal_ballin]

::So, Hagakure stares at the paper a bit, then seems inspired. He writes his name on the top of his paper, then writes some things down. He seems to know some of this! Wow, good for you, Hagakure. That time living with grandma on the farm in Aomori really paid off.

He confidently strides forward and puts his paper down on the desk.::

I knew like half of them from memory, dude.

Re: QUIZ?????

[mach_n_roll]

[Well, at least he tried.]

ANSWERS + MORE QUESTIONS + PROJECTS??

[raced_god]

[Falcon (who is probably hung over) takes maybe like ten minutes to go through the answers on the quiz, and also explains the basic concept of how an internal combustion engine works, isn't he smart (and hung over).

After that, the floor is open for anyone to talk about projects they have or plan to work on or whatever. He might make you share with the class.]

AFTER CLASS/LURKERS/SHENANIGANS/ETC

[raced_god]

[trustycrowbar]

[The funny thing about a world riddled with random portals and tears to other worlds; eventually the infinity of dimensions throws its weight at unlikely probability, and you end up finding an old sock, or a book you lent to a cousin that never returned it, or SOMETHING that you thought was otherwise long gone.]

[That said, Gordon has found something that he thought was long, LONG gone.]

[It's near the very end of the class when Gordon arrives, heralded by the angry snarl of a well-made, but grizzled and veteran, internal combustion engine. He's suited in his weird orange space-suit thing but pulls into the far bay of the auto shop in a low, prowling muscle car that looks like it once upon a time started life as a '69 dodge charger.]

[star_punched]

Mac stayed behind when class was over, he was kind of slow today when it came to getting his things together. He was thankful he didn't have anywhere he needed to be in a short amount of time.

He started mulling if he wanted to talk to his coach, but well...
