Good. It seemed like everyone was staying in one way or another... though Hollingberry seemed like she may change her mind later...

Or not, because...
"Dead!?" Elijah's hand went straight to his mouth before he ended up barfing everywhere. He was staring at a DEAD thing. A corpse! He was staring at an actual real life, without the life part, CORPSE! He was too gorgeous to be a pathologist of any kind or a necromancer for that matter!
This woman's MIND was also highly unattractive, it seemed. He watched her untie the knots binding the plimpy's legs and with each movement she made, Elijah was certain SOMETHING was kicking the insides of his stomach willing him to vomit all over his very own plimpy...
And then the thought of him vomiting on a dead plimpy entered his mind and it all became WAY too much for his gorgeous lil' head to cope with. He turned to Vickers hoping for some moral bro support but...
"Vickers!?" he seethed as he saw the boy practically UNDER the table. "You cannot not leave a bro up here by himself like this with two dead ickle fishes! It. Is. Not. Cool." When the boy stood straight once more behind their workbench, Elijah couldn't deny that it helped relax him a little. There was something about Vickers that set him at ease about this whole task. Perhaps it was because the boy seemed to have similar thoughts as him in regards to this lessons task.
Elijah was in the process of putting on his own gloves and working out in his gorgeous mind how would be best to get Vickers to untie his plimpy as well as his own. The train of thought was interrupted when he noticed Vickers PATTING the dead creature and the onset of nausea was back. "Vickers! Don't pat it! It's dead. What if it's guts start oozing out of it's eyeballs if you pat too hard, huh?"
This whole ordeal was proving way too traumatic. If things got much worse he had a feeling his hair would start to fall out and how could he POSSIBLY remain unbelievably good looking if he lost his enviable, luscious locks?
Vickers set to work on his own plimpy, untying the knot just like the Professor had showed them, whilst Elijah just STARED at his. It was such an ugly creature. Elijah was all for getting rid of unattractiveness from the world, but he didn't want to be the one behind cutting it open. At least the untying part wouldn't be too bad. He could do that himself surely, right? Then when it got to the actually cutting open part he could try and get Elijah to do his work for him. He'd be sure to use Vickers previous wimping out to his advantage.
Reaching for the knot, Elijah began untying it. However, in the process he tugged maybe slightly too hard which caused the creature itself to move slightly. "MERLIN!!!! IT'S ALIVE! MY SPIMPY IS ALIVE! IT MOVED! IT BLOOMIN' MOVED! VICKERS! KILL IT!" and now it was time for Elijah to be hiding under the table.
"
Master Wilde. I suggest you calm down. Now." she said approaching the panicking boy. She looked at his Plimpy and then to him, and in a very serious and nefarious voice whispered to him, "
It's dead, or did you wish me to cast the unforgivable Death curse at it to make you feel better..." Her eyes narrowed at him and then she straightened.
"
Trust me. Your plimpies are all dead." She had made sure of that last night. "
Now." She resumed pointing at her blackboard with her wand and her plimpy floated up to it. "
There are many parts to a plimpy... let's begin with the external."
She pointed at each part with her wand and the words would appear on the blackboard by them. "
The nares are the nostrils, not for breathing, but for detecting smells. It's how they find food. The eyes obviously or for seeing, and they can see different colors. The fins are used for maintaining position, moving, steering and stopping. The gills are covered by the Opercolum and the mouth obviously is for eating. The scales are the external protection of the plimpy... If you know fish, you know there are four kinds of scales. The scales on a plimpy are the cycloid and ctenoid type. The legs are for walking and when used, they are used whole. Finally the peduncle is the part of the fish that attaches the caudal fin, or tail, to the rest of the body and is used for propulsion."
Her plimpy stayed floating in front of the blackboard. "
Nares are used in many health potions, including Pepperup potion. Can anyone tell me what other potions these ingredients may be found in and why?"
