Characters: Bart Allen and anyone
Date: 10/23-10-27
Location: ME-3A (or wherever you'd like!)
Situation: Bart has used the power of stubbornness to come up with a possible solution to The Hot Dog Problem Part 1: How to make the casing. Also, in a world without a costume shop, zombie makeup: what do?
Warnings/Rating: None so far!
[It's a nice day in the Metal Sector. The weather is beautiful, and the air is so crisp that, when the wind hits just right, it feels like apple cider tastes. Everyone's outside, enjoying autumn.
Almost everyone, that is. Bart Allen has been holed up indoors for most of his free time this week. He's got a lot of stuff to do right now. For one thing, he's trying to isolate cellulose from plant materials in an effort to make viscose, which he's read can be used to make artificial casings for sausages and franks. The cellulose is mundane, but the chemicals used in the process are caustic. Some are even explosive. The real problem is that he doesn't have all the necessary chemicals and equipment, so he's trying to make do.
Those who drop by ME-3A while he's working on it might be treated to, uh, interesting smells and bangs. Several pots have already been sacrificed.
But he's not only playing mad scientist as the days to Halloween tick down. Bart's also working on makeshift costume makeup - namely, to get himself looking as close to a zombie without resorting to actual blood. Clark told him that Invincible's partial to them and practically dared him to try and scare the guy. Challenge accepted. He's agreeable to help with the getup, and he's looking for unsuspecting people to try it out on.]

Corning made a really tough glass that can take a beating. It's an alkali-aluminosilicate. I've read about it, but it's still new. The specifics are a total industry secret. Something ion exchanges and molten alkaline salts. Molten doesn't sound kitchen-friendly. I think I should stick to one set of chemicals at a time. I could probably get someone to help though - maybe Tony or my grandfather. Are you any good at materials engineering?

Not... in the way you're thinking, no.
