Open Post: Curiosity

Tress is, as she often is, in her workshop. However, what she is doing in her workshop is not even close to her usual activities.

Instead of her usual array of spores and sprouter's gear, she has found some more standard tools which are sitting on the table next to a rubber mat that is holding... a toaster. She secreted one from a kitchen that isn't particularly used. To the side are a couple books from the library as well as her open notebook.

She turns the toaster upside down and starts undoing some screws on the bottom of the case.

After all, the best way to figure something out is often to gain practical knowledge.

"Well-said, as always." And if it's also an excuse to take something apart, pull out the pieces, and set pieces of it on fire to produce pretty colors, so much the better. Something can both be a step towards scientific progress built on the work of one's forebears, and an entertaining diversion. Claudius ushers Tress on to help look for the next toaster, or victim.
