You did it.

You made it through those last agonizing weeks of high school and now you are FREE, on the cusp of four awesome years of cozy coffee-shop crushes, inebriated makeouts, and crazy pranks. It's gonna be the best years of your life, kiddo, and you intend to make the most of it. It's going to be PERFECT.

... Almost.

Maybe.

Possibly.

Hopefully.

[Art requirements are legitimately the worst. Ten minutes of an art history class had had him switching AS FAST AS HE POSSIBLY COULD to something...well, a little more his style. For a chemistry/engineering student, sculpture kind of sounds like the best thing for everyone.

Except in this case, it is probably not the best thing for everyone.

On the lawn in front of the art building, it's hard to miss the ten foot gargoyle sculpture that seems to have been constructed overnight. It's covered in spikes and painted red and black and generally looks kind of menacing in a tacky 80s heavy metal sort of way...

...And it's actually breathing fire.

There's a blond kid on the lawn admiring it, arms crossed. Every so often he opens a hatch in the back to tinker with a few wires and pipes. Just making sure everything is working.

Oh yeah. He's so getting an A.]

[Amazingly, Gajeel almost manages to walk right past the thing without noticing it - which probably has to do with the fact that he just barely managed to drag himself out of bed twenty minutes ago. Why is he even taking a morning class, he doesn't want to be conscious right now.

(It's probably not even that early, Gajeel is just a loser who can't function before noon.)

Then he does notice it, because not even he is quite capable of completely ignoring that. Unfortunately, though, rather than responding with the horror and confusion appropriate to that thing, he grins and stands back to look over it appreciatively.]

Hey, nice!

[Hey, mornings are only bad if you actually go to sleep. Which Ed has not. It takes a while to rig up pyrotechnics like these, okay?

Ed's currently face-first in the hatch, fiddling with some hook-up or something. He jumps when he hears a voice, and you hear in this order: "Ack! (thunk!) Damn it--!" Followed by an angry string of mutterings. He pokes his head out again, looking every inch the young kid that he is, currently only 17. He glowers for a moment (you may get the impression that he's used to people not taking him seriously)...but when he gets the idea he's not being made fun of, he grins.]

Thanks. Figured I should go all out for midterms.

[It's very fortunate, then, that Gajeel is still too out of it to voice his first thought, which is "holy shit this kid is tiny". Of course there is still plenty of time for him to say something to that effect, because he is officially distracted and also really bad at not being obnoxious about people being younger than him (or shorter than him, which covers a lot of people.]

Yeah, no kidding. What all materials didja go for?

[Try it, Hedgehog Head. Dare you. No but really, for now, he's feeling pretty damn good about all of this. His slightly egotistical grin gets slightly wider at the idea of being able to talk shop. Look what you've done, Gajeel. This can only end in tears.]

The frame is PVC, plywood, and chicken wire, and the rest of it is insulation foam and sheet metal. With some clay for the details.

[Well it's not as if most of what Gajeel does doesn't end in tears for someone anyway.]

Huh, I gotcha. Mainly work in iron and steel myself - nothing else ever seems to come out durable enough.

[It's not actually a problem with the materials at all. Gajeel just destroys everything he touches.]

...this is what you were out all night working on?

[Al has no words for you, Ed. No words.]

Shouldn't you have to get a clearance from campus security before making a flamethrower?
