Third Floor Common Room, Thursday Afternoon

Topher wanted grilled cheese, but there weren't any spatulas in the kitchen.
He had options. He knew he had options. He could go out and get grilled cheese from Luke's or Mooby Land. He could order grilled cheese to be delivered, although that would take longer. He could go to another common room and look for spatulas there, which would require either ascending or descending stairs or spending an extended period of time waiting for the elevator.
Or he could just try not using a spatula, and seeing how that went.
Topher chose the last option.
What resulted was fairly painful for Topher's hands and not tremendously rewarding for his taste buds, because the sandwich wound up being fairly charred and the cheese didn't even melt properly. But the important part was the scientific takeaway from the whole experience: Spatulas were important.
And so were band-aids.
