The scientists were doing very dumb experiments this week, such as putting fireworks on roller skates and rocketing at unhuman levels, continuously ringing The House That Doesn't Exist's doorbell, acknowledging angels, ect. Let me show you how that first one played out.
5 AM, Science Lab
One of the new interns for the scientists, Ebony (i made a reference uwu), walked in and put a new idea on the "EXPERIMENT IDEAS" whiteboard: "rocket-powered roller skates!!! - ebony the intern", then started a project on testing how much radioactivity was in Radon Canyon. Carlos walked in at 5:30 A.M., 30 minutes later than he usually was, because "Cecil somehow set his water bottle on fire". He saw the idea for the skates, then circled it. This was probably going to be the dumbest and most dangerous-without-destroying-the-town experiment yet.
6 AM, Makeshift Runway (Located 50 miles from Larry Leroy's house)
The scientists had set up a few speed counters and other machines along the runway. They were all wearing masks and face shields so the dust and dirt wouldn't get in their faces. Cecil was the test subject, since he was somehow immune to any and all damage, besides emotional. "OKAY, CECIL." Carlos said through a megaphone. "ON 3, WE LIGHT THE ROCKETS." Cecil yelled back: "AND THEN WHAT?" Carlos shrugged. "TRY STOPPING IT?" "FAIR ENOUGH." Carlos got out a match. "1..." The other scientists braced themselves. "2..." Carlos got closer. "3!" He set the rockets off, then ran back to where the other scientists were. Cecil shot down the runway, and if you got close enough, you could hear him yelling...
Cecil actually somehow made it to town without crashing, huh. The scientists collectively thought. They thought too soon, because just as they made it back to town in their van, Cecil crashed into the Lab. Cecil threw up as the rockets burnt out. One of the other scientists, Alice, sighed. She was the head of the Lab's finances. "This is going to cost so much to fix..." Cecil passed out from exhaustion and, y'know, smashing his head into a brick wall. This was a horrible idea... Carlos thought to himself. "My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined." said a voice just outside of anyone's sightline. The Faceless Old Woman (FOWWSLIYH). "I thought he wouldn't have passed out." The FOWWSLIYH continued, then crept away. Carlos picked the KOed Cecil up, then dragged him back to their apartment, making sure Cecil was okay.
