Fifth floor common room, late-ish Saturday night

[notmyownage]

It was generally just a good idea, when one was trying to create exothermic chemical reactions, to look for a spot with good ventilation and not a whole lot of extra people. She'd considered the roof, but, well, Minnesotans might be used to cold, but that also involved knowing when to stay in from it, so she settled for wiring her desk fan to a couple of lithium batteries and bringing it to an unoccupied common room. She cracked a window, set the fan up to blow outwards, and got to work.

She had vinegar, baking soda, and several bags of salt and vinegar potato chips lined up on the counter, a large pot of water boiling over the fire -- and yeah, she was trying not to think too hard about where the fireplace had come from -- and several varied sizes of heavy duty plastic sacks.

Time to make some homemade chemical heatpacks!

[ooc: open, should anyone else be up and about at this hour!]
