That doesn't sound like him from all the complaints he's heard. "Alright. Tap on me before you die, okay?"

Valo has never heard those complaints, so he just nods and sinks himself in so he's not startled when Matt tries to drown him. Back to Top   El Sensei Sensei El Jefe I control the universe!

His temperature starts fluctuating wildly - the water around Matt's hand starts freezing for a moment before all of the ice around Valo starts melting. He's more making equilibrium than progress, but at least he's hot enough to evaporate the water for now! Back to Top   El Sensei Sensei El Jefe I control the universe!

After a few seconds, his head just pops out of the water and he fills his lungs. The water stuck to his skin and clothes evaporates almost immediately, and what little ice that remains won't last much longer than ten seconds.

But thanks." Valo smiles and reaches out to pat Matt on the shoulder, when he sees the steam leaving his body. His eyes widen in excitement when he realizes he's actually making the whole tub boil. "Dude! This is awesome! Too bad water doesn't autoignite." He frowns, then tries to cool down. Setting things on fire on the way back to the tutorial wouldn't be ideal. "How do I do it, though? I know how to focus, I'm an engineer for crying out loud. But this... I don't know how." Back to Top   El Sensei Sensei El Jefe I control the universe!

"I dunno," he shrugs in response. His mind flashes back to his parents fighting one another with him in the middle of it, often literally, and his jaw tenses. "I don't want to get stronger and still not be able to control it. When my dad went unchecked for long periods of time he destroyed like eight of the nine houses we lived in before I went out to college, so he's a testament to the whole metahuman stigma. I just don't want to fall into that same category." Back to Top   El Sensei Sensei El Jefe I control the universe! [send pm] Joined: July 2009 Posts: 28,490 What can I even do?

He laughs nervously, then stands to his feet while still heated. "You're not the counselor though so that's my bad. But I think I wanna try that flash point stuff while I'm still hot."

Maybe they just think you're more welcoming than the blonde lady - Dr. Gavyns, right?" He steps out of the tub and makes his way back to the tutorial, completely dry by the time he leaves the infirmary. "If I rant about my life again during this session feel free to pop me in the mouth real quick." With a grin, Valo just picks up the pot of canola oil and rests it on both of his hands. Now it's a very boring waiting game. Back to Top   El Sensei Sensei El Jefe I control the universe! [send pm] Joined: July 2009 Posts: 28,490 What can I even do?

People don't want to be counseled or consoled. Because once people do talk to either of us, majority fall in love with Dr. Gavyns. My fanbase is much, much lower." Even after helping people, like Eric! What a jerk! "So what exactly are you trying to achieve here? Pretend I only got a B- in high school chemistry."

"So uh, any object's flash point is the temperature at which something gives off flammable vapors. So it burns as long as there's a source. Then there's fire point, which is the lowest temperature for something to burn until put out, also with a source. Last we have autoignition, which is what I'm trying to reach - it's the lowest temperature you can make something before it catches fire all on its own. It burns indefinitely. Putting it out won't work without a huge temperature decrease. That make sense?" As he finishes, vapors can be seen leaving the pot. It's a start.

He takes out a lighter and puts it over the vapors, causing them to ignite for a moment. There's a flash of fire before it dies out. "Spontaneous combustion would be a nice thing to utilize if I could just make it spontaneous... but if it takes this long, it won't ever be useful."
