Chewing on ... whatever it was he had just put in his mouth ... was a very poor decision indeed. It had a texture like the very chalk that had just been stuck to his hook and was just...WHAT WAS THIS STUFF?! It was neither icy nor creamy. Gagging loudly, the man spit the contents out of his mouth in the form of green dribble - seeing as he had just stuffed the mint ice cream into his mouth - and looked almost like he was foaming at the mouth.

"Excuse me, Professor, er, Captain, Hook," Thornton said, trying to keep his voice even. "But I had planned to eat that one and you took it without asking." "WHAT?" he barked at the child, bits of the dribble getting stuck in his beard and then GASPED. No! NO NO NOOOOOOO! Say it isn't so! Bad form! He had just...NO! "My humblest of apologies, boy. Truly bad form on my behalf. Here," he apologized as he walked over took the same parcel from someone who was refusing to eat (FOR YOU TO CLAIM IF YOU WANT IT) and tossed it across the room to the Lost Boy.
SPOILER!!: NEW SMEE! Er...Alexa! Quote:

Funny how that worked, but if it really was the book, best she kept it til he snapped out of it. Ahem.
She looked around the class once more. "Am I actually meant to polish this? Without so much as a 'please'? And I dunno if I should take him having a plank to walk seriously. He could shove 'em off the Astro Tower and think he's right." And was he seriously calling her Smee? Really? Sweet Circe he meant it? Lex watched him pass her looks and give orders to write things down and GOSH Professor she could only do so much at a time!! The Gryffindor reached for a quill but just as she scribbled the third name he was yelling about eating ice-cream...
....
Yeah, sure, why not?  Not taking her eyes off him, she pride her own tub open and helped herself. Might as well, yeah?
Aye aye. Aaaaaaaah yes, music to his ears!
What was New Smee blubbering on about? Please? He had no need to say please to those under his command. When he commanded them to hoist the sails, there were no questions asked or else it was the plank for them. Or the boo box. He shot his replacement first mate a look that could potentially kill were she faint of heart.
"Yes."

She read what was written in the package in front of her. Ice cream sandwich. Morgana, that sounded very unhealthy. She wondered if it was strawberry ice cream, at least. She would eat that. This lady had manners and good form. Yet another fine addition to his crew. He would certainly need to write a list on the board once this lesson was finished to remind his new crew that he needed to hold a meeting with them and organize a search party for the Jolly Roger.
And maybe the real Smee...because he was not sure the new one would live up to his standards.
SPOILER!!: Eden & Kevin! Quote:

Swaggered was also definitely the correct word, too, for he was dressed like a pirate. Honestly? Eden raised an eyebrow. Did Hogwarts take anything seriously at all? MERLIN. She wasn't amused. Not at all. She raised her hand slowly. "Professor--are we actually going to learn things today?" she asked, because while snacks were yummy and costumes were fun--this class would be pointless if they didn't DO anything. She did open her packet up began to nibble on the dried ice cream and siiiighed...and rolled her eyes at more people playing along with Professor...
Pan? Smee? What the heck was GOING on? Eden was SO close to just walking out that she honestly ALMOST did. She grabbed her school bag and everything. Too much was going on. She was internally panicking a little. She glanced with a terrified look at Clara before grabbing the rest of her ice cream...
What had the professor asked?! She didn't know--she was sinking into her chair and siiiighing. "I DON'T WANT TO BE A PIRATE." She said rather LOUDLY. "ACT NORMAL PROFESSOR!" she told him, a little FRUSTRATED with all of this.. Quote:

"It's also a lack to act so childish when you're a Professor..CapTAIN" and silly sticks? what? and something else he had been wondering... "What on EARTH is a SMEE?!" he called to no one in particular. One of them better answered him.
Finding this whole lesson confusing enough, Kevin turned his head to the door and wondered if he could sneak out. But then pirate!flailsteed asked a astronomy related question and he turned back around. Why a tube was used in space for food? eh..no idea. "Maybe because it would take less space in the spaceship?" heh less space , get it? lame.
"AND CHILL, EDEN!" he shouted back at her. Seriously, he was TRYING to prove himself to be a good person but people were just aaargh. And that wasn't a pirate argh by the way.
"YOU!" he roared, hook pointing towards the girl child. "Will address me as Captain. Shall I spell it out for you on the board? Or are you incapable if recalling such a simple set of instructions?"
The vein in his forehead began to pulsate at her insolence and shot New Smee a look. Yes. This one two. Make DOUBLE sure there, Smee.
"You ARE learning. Good form is a vital lesson to learn...along with what is on this parchment here...supposedly," he continued as he waved the parchment in the air.
And then the fiery boy was yelling too - the Captain ignored the first part of what was said ... mostly because he wasn't actually paying attention at the time.
"YOU BOTH CAN CHILL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN IF YOU CONTINUE TO SPEAK IN IGNORANCE!"
His eyes shifted to the boy again as he answer. "Perhaps you can stay, however. You are actually making the effort to answer and learn instead of acting like a codfish."
SPOILER!!: Toby & Sophie! Quote:

HOOK.
Toby JUMPED and jolted backwards in his seat when the HOOK pierced the desk between he and Soph. Yet again, he watched with wide eyes as Airey, no... the Captain gave them their sentence (more plank-walking... uh...) and gave them a grade. For a brief moment Toby forgot all about what was happening and squinted at the large F on his parchment.
"But we don't have F gra-..." Uh. Yeah. Not really the time, Tobes. Probably best to focus on the fact that he'd just been sentenced to walking the PLANK. "Nevermind."
Any other time, if Toby had been reprimanded by a professor, it might have ruined him for the rest of the day. But right now...? Airey wasn't Airey, and maybe if the man had broken character to shout at him he'd have gotten upset, but right now it just felt like a really WEIRD dream. ESPECIALLY since the lesson was still going on and all. Man. Toby's brain hurt. This was so confusing. He didn't answer the question asked, even though he thought it was probably something to do with... zero gravity and floaty food getting all mixed up in machinery. Maybe.
Then there was the order to eat what they'd been given, and Toby looked around the room to see if everyone was doing s-... wait. WAIT. NO. THAT WAS ICE CREAM. NO NO NO.
He turned his head very quickly to see Soph fiddling with the wrapper, and acted without even thinking.
"NO!" Toby exclaimed, his voice sounding like a mixture between a yelp and a cry of alarm as he reached out and BATTED THE ICE CREAM THING out of her hands. As for his own, he quickly flung that away too, looking almost frightful. Don't freak out, Tobes. "Don'teattheicecream!" That went for EVERYONE.
One major thing Toby had learnt in all his years at Hogwarts: Don't eat the ice cream.

"We actually weren't whispering, Captain. We hadn't spoken at all. And, if we're being technical, there was no passing of notes, as this parchment stayed right here," she patted its spot on the table, "this whole time." Her tone was calm - she was very polite and matter-of-fact about informing him of what was going on. And what... kind of grade was an 'F'? Was this guy crazy? Maybe Flamsteed WASN'T in there, then - he would have known better. "I'd rather think subtly writing to each other is more polite than whispering. Captain." Merlin, she hoped Flamsteed wouldn't remember this when he was back to normal.
She offered Tobes a helpless kind of shrug, though, and briefly wondered if one of them should go get another professor so they could SEE what was happening. She figured no one would believe her unless they saw the state he was in for themselves, but... Hook WAS still going along and reading the points of today's lesson, so... despite... all the distractions, there WAS still learning that could happen.
So. She'd wait it out for now.
People were yelling, though, which was a bigger cause for concern - everyone seemed to be reacting to the fiasco differently, where some were entirely disinterested and others were riled up. Soph watched the show, reaching for the snack in front of them and figuring it was safe to eat since Hook!Flamsteed had just devoured his - aaaaand it went flying from her hand across the room. She looked at Toby a bit incredulously, but ended up laughing softly, understanding his thought process. Right. His... fear of ice cream. "Sorry." Though she thought ice cream in a package like that was probably NOT harmful. But maybe she just trusted Flamsteed - the one in his right mind - too easily.
She tried to take some notes on what Hook!Flamsteed was telling them - she figured they would still probably be tested on it at one point or another - but eventually she abandoned taking actual notes to write another thing to Tobes in the corner of her parchment: Dare ya to make ticking noises.
He GLARED at the boy. "It is bad form to finish sentences incomplete," he said. "Consider that a warning." The boy already had his fate sealed, but perhaps if he learned good form by the time class was up he would reconsider his decision. Possibly.
And then his eyes were on the girl...who was telling him that his decision had been made in the WRONG. He was NEVER wrong, and yet her tone was one of truth...and he was now questioning if he had, in fact, acted in bad form.
WHAT AN APPALLING THOUGHT!
"I...sincerest apologies to you, girl," he said as he took her F grade parchment and tore it up into tiny bits that he then threw into the air. "I revoke your grade." But just hers. Not the boy next to her.
Especially after what he said next!
"Tell your captain the truth," he said calmly as his examined his hook in the light. "You think that I would have the audacity to try and poison those who I have been told I am to educate. That I, JAS Hook, would act in bad form and deceive you all. Go on...say it...say you do not trust me...go on..."

No need for that, sir. I take a point from you. Again. Hugo was going to open one of the packages but a student warned them not to eat the ice cream. That made him hesitate, just in case he had to ask "Umm...sir, does this ice cream contain something weird?" It better not for the sake of his stomach. And please do not yell. While he was still leaning over the doubting Lost Boy, his attention turned to the next one who spoke. "If you trust your Captain you will eat it." If not...well...he would see what happened.

Glancing at the chuck of freeze dried whatever in front of him, Kyroh broke off a piece and stuffed it in his mouth. "EAT. EEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAT."
SPOILER!!: Peter Pan & Aladdin Quote:

"And Yes, where do you have her?"
And Mr.Smee was in this room too? Peter had not seen him. And the girl was no Mr. Smee. For the fact she was a girl.
She was no Tiger Lily also.
"This twig is more than a match for you and what is that i hear....Tick...Tock...Tick...Tock"
Like he was going to answer question from Hook. Quote:

Moving into a more defensive position Aladdin said "Dear old Captain Hook, I'm just waiting for you to make the first move because I'm always on swing ahead of the sword. I can easily beat you...I'd beat you easier if I had my Genie. Be thankful I don't."
With a sly and daring smile he looked the Captain up and down. Measuring him, seeing what he could be capable of. Without his wand he wouldn't be able to fight back, but the hook would be dangerous if he would get within melee range. Turning so his body was facing Pan, but his wand was facing Hook he slanted his feet shoulder width apart at about a 45 degree angle, making it easier to balance if something were to happen.
Aladdin wouldn't take his eye off of this man, even if he was unarmed. Hook could still be dangerous. "Tick tock, Hook, tick tock."
Even though his eyes were focused on Hook, Aladdin still said to Pan "Oi, Pan. What say we take this so called Captain down, and free your Wendy. Believe me...I lost the girl that I like once. I can help you take this man down. So what say you Pan?" Praying that Pan would get the message Aladdin was on his side, he grinned. If the both of them teamed up, they could easily beat Hook.
If they got more people in the class to help, that would be even better. Maybe, just maybe, they could end this mean, no good, rotten, double two-shoes, Captain Hook. Then maybe this Wendy girl would be free so her and Pan could be together again. Now that would be a happily ever after. But first in order to get this happily ever after, they'd need to take care of this man.
Speaking to the class, Aladdin triumphantly stated "Fellow people, join us and take up arms so we can stop this traitorous pirate. We have a person to save from his evil clutches. Think what you would do if he got a hold of the person that you loved the most. That might happen if don't all team together, and take this no good, lieing, pirate scum, named Captain Hook. Now then, who's with me!?" That was a courageous speech to get people to join them, was it not?
The boy siding with Pan was laughable, really. Was he aware that the majority of his statements were in contradiction with one another. And what in Neverland was a genie? Was that a type of fairy?
"I do not believe in genies," he sneered, hoping very much that one of them had just dropped dead somewhere. He especially sneered when no one else joined him in his crusade to "take him down" with Pan. And yet, why yes....the Captain had recruited quite a few into his new crew already. Therefore arguing was hardly worth his noble effort.
"I have your Wendy no where, Peter Pan." And if the boy knew anything he would know that Captain JAS Hook did not tell lies. Bad form to do so. "Now if you two sorry excuses would SIT DOWN and quit being an unnecessary source of disturbance THAT would be in good form!"
And their measly words of tick tock had no effect on him. Children. Stupid children.
SPOILER!!: Puck! Quote:

”Is the ice cream a lie?” she asked simply, and glanced around at everyone. Event he fifth year Toby was reacting badly to the ice cream. ”because otherwise the food would be floating around because of the zero gravity…kind of using the vaccum effect of the tube to make eating a small amount possible? Is that it….captain?” She asked a smirk playing on her face.
She was not going to walk the plank even if he tried to force her.
With a smirk she remembered the clocks she had used in the great hall…she still had one. Reaching into her bag she quickly made sure the ticking was loud, very loud.
TICK TOCK with a little flick she sent the tiny thing rolling on its little wheels about the room...so it would sound like it was circling...what? He was acting like Hook? Why not drive him mad?
"Anyone hear ticking?" She asked playing innocent.
TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK
Now that the two windbags had shut their traps, he was about to return his attention to looking for someone with something WORTHY to say....when there was a noise.
A noise that he feared above all else.
A noise that...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" he bellowed as he recoiled back and stumbled over the very device that was making all the noise. He fell backwards into his desk, arching slightly as the edge came in contact with his lower and sent an uncharacteristically sharp pain through the man's spine. Since when had he, Captain JAS Hook, had such a weak back!?
And then he saw it and, despite the momentary sense of relief that it was not what he had feared it was, his eyes became ablaze in rage.
"NEW SMEEEEEEEEEEE! THROW THIS VILE THING OFF THE PLANK IMMEDIATELY!" he commanded as he thrust his hook at the nearest open window. His eyes practically burned holes in everything his gaze fell upon...especially when he found the source. "You...yes... you made a boo boo...a very big boo boo," he said to the girl as he slowly made strides towards her. Yes, he HAD seen her movements out of the corner of his eye. It was a captain's duty to be aware of all the happenings on their ship.
Then, with one swift movement, his hook was through the back of her robes so that when he lifted upwards she was dangling as though her robes were on a hanger and the hanger was his hook. "To the boo box with you it is," he whispered in her ear.
He then walked towards the boo box (which was really the storage closet in the astrophysics laboratory) and locked the door.
"NO ONE IS TO RELEASE HER UNTIL I SAY. ARE WE CLEAR?" he roared again, his eyes falling on New Smee once more. "In fact, New Smee. You shall stand guard. Unless you wish to pass off the duties to the new boatswain."

So she just shrugged at the Captain person. "Okay. I'm on your crew." Now gimme the axe.
Why was he talking about eating food out of tubes, though? That sounded disgusting. "You shouldn't eat out of tubes. It doesn't sound healthy at all. How do you get healthy nutrients and Vitamin C, because you need lots of Vitamin C, and how do you eat cookies?" IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. "A very wise choice," he nodded towards the very wise young lady.
As for her question...he looked down at the parchment in his hand for an answer, but found none. There wasn't even a mention of Vitamin C on it...and add that to the fact that the Captain didn't even know what an astronaut was and, well, he just wasn't about to admit that he did not know the answer.
"By using their mouth, I would imagine," he replied. Not too bright that one. How else would one eat a cookie?

OH. BY. MERLIN. YO, PROF. EVER HEARD OF PERSONAL SPACE?! Crossed a line, Professor Space Rocks!! DO. NOT. TOUCH. THE PRIZE-WINNER. "I'd appreciate if you DIDN'T, Captain." The flabbergasted Hufflepuff hissed, pushing away the professor's bearded up mug to a safe distance.
Walk the plank?? WALK THE PLANK?? Lol, sure thing, Captain. He'll voluntarily walk the plank if he keeps this up. Touching his portrait like they were on homie terms, omg.
Declan frustratedly tore open his food package, gritting his teeth against the urge to answer. He'll give him NO satisfaction after an invasion of his personal bubble, like he just did. NO WAY.
BITE, CHEW, SAVOR ANGRILY.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Appalled by the fact that the Lost Boy was not only touching him, but ALSO pushing him away, the captain turned his head quickly to BITE DOWN on the boy's fingers. Let THAT be a lesson in what happens when you try and touch Captain JAS Hook!
"NEW SMEE! This one as well!"

He opted to ignore this whole war-thing that was breaking out in class. Side taking was so lame. He checked his parchment again after the child's response, but saw nothing of any sort to indicated that he was correct...but it was certainly a response that he most certainly approved of.
"I quite like your answer, boy. Tell me, if New Smee cannot fufill their duties, would you like to have their place?"

Adi shrugged. He had made his decision. Reaching for a nice bright red apple, he took a bit. Delish. WAS THIS CHILD DEAF?! HE HAD SAID PARCELS! NOT APPLES!
With a swift movement, he screwed the apple in the boy's hand, pulled it off with his other hand, and threw it right out the window.
"Dost thou need to clean thine ears?" he hissed.

Tune out the madness, she would and just answer the question.
Jasmine raised her hand to respond. "Toothpaste-like tubes were used because the astronauts would be able to control the food in zero gravity. They could squeeze the food directly into their mouths. There would be no spillage and no bits of food flying everywhere." Did anyone even care that she was answering the question? Quote:

"Zeke,'' Adi whispered to the little Lion. "I think they've all gone mad.'' Mhmm. Why else would Flamsteed go around dressed as a pirate? It wasn't even Halloween. Well, one could always Flamsteed was always a little off his rockers but the others?
Shaking his head, Adi made some notes on John Glenn and other stuff. This was still a lesson after all. Toothpaste like tube? Erm...he had an idea. He raised a hand. "Because of the lack of gravity, Prof- Captain. Professor Captain.'' Hehe. "With the tube they could just squish the tube and pop the contents into their mouth without worrying about the food floating all over.'' Or so Adi reasoned. Quote:

He would just sit here and do what he was required to do. Ian hadn't even gotten an acknowledgment of a correct response. He could sit and pout, or he could just push through.
When the professor asked the question about the tubes, Ian raised his hand and answered. Because they were lightweight and easily handled in the zero-gravity environment of space. It would prevent crumbs and such getting into the 'delicate' instruments that controlled the vessels. He was kind of excited to see the professor responded to Norah. At least she got noticed. Then the professor stuffed his food in a child's mouth. That wasn't cool AT all. Why would a professor at the school force-feed a child? Ian certainly was in no mood to be handled in such a manner.

He heard someone mention the right answer. Aww man the lesson wasn't gonna be about pirates? That was a shame. He was hoping it would. But he heard the question and wondered why a tube of toothpaste would be considered good for food?
Kace thought about it and raised his hand, "Erm Professor I think they use toothpaste because it keeps the food compact in a tight space but I am wondering how though?" he asked. He was quite curious to know. Then he saw him jump onto the desk. Woaahhh...
O___O.....
He was really playing his pirate part well. Kace was impressed. He got up from his seat and went over to get some astro food. He wondered what he was gonna get first. He got the first one he could find. He got the one that was an ice cream sandwich. It couldn't be that bad right? Quote:

But overall the class was fun AND they had food. Point for you Flamesteel. The class proceeded, Hugo just remained silent because, you know, he was fine. And wasn't going to get involve in the 'special' moment. The professor asked another question to which he had no clue. Still he wanted to answer and raised his hand, "Professor...err...Hook, Captain Hook" whoever you are "I think they did that because tubes don't get too much room and they are easily carried, also you can eat food straight from it." It made sense for him.
Hugo was checking the packages and before he could do anything, the captain/professor stomped on his table. MERLIN WHYYY? "Don't do that!" said the poor boy. YES it did scared him.

That girl could be the conductor of the crazy train, mhmm. She listened to the next question and put her hand in the air again. "Otherwise everything would float everywhere because there's no gravity."
She eyed the package of food. Her rumbling stomach begged for it, but everyone else was reacting so badly that Norah didn't think eating it would be such a good idea. And she didn't trust Captain Flamsteed either. Calling his wand a sword, sheeeesh. Quote:

Angel then raised her hand. "I think they put it into tubes so that they could eat it without it getting stuck and jamming controls that are vital for the mission." Quote:

There was so much going on around her that she completely missed out on the first question. Not only did she miss out on it, but she couldn't even tell you what the question was. She didn't seem to be the only one that was having this problem either. What was up with professor dance on tables? AJ eyes the food, and still didn't take a bite. Something was off. She wasn't going down with the ship.
As far as food in toothpaste tubes, she didn't know, but she was going to guess anyways. At the very least it will show that she was still alive. Her hand was raised. "It's because it's easier to slurp food out of a tube." Made sense to her. Quote:

She wasn’t impressed and quite frankly the Blonde wanted to leave the room at that exact moment. Would anyone notice if she slipped out of the classroom? She didn’t find this amusing one bit. In fact she found it incredibly annoying.
And pathetic.
That was exactly what they all were, pretending to be fairytale characters. Honestly were they FIVE?! No. She was here to learn and not be distracted by THIS lot. She sighed audibly, a low frustrated sigh as she attempted to write notes that she could remember in the future.
She had completely ignored the food too, mostly because she wasn’t actually that hungry and this stuff wasn’t organic or healthy enough and with the Professor acting as weird as he currently was she wasn’t sure what on earth he could’ve put in them. Sleeping potions? Or something that had completely messed up everyone’s brains? Who knew if this was even NORMAL meat?! Not her so she wasn’t touching it. She pushed it FAR away from her and STARED at the Professor as he ordered them to eat the food. “How about no?” she muttered under her breath.
The Ravenclaw didn’t know the answer to the first question anyway and so she just listened to the other [s]weirdoes[/i] people’s ideas before the Professor (because that was what he was. Not a PIRATE) declared the correct idea. Which apparently after much theatrics was the date the first fruit flies were sent up to space. All that dramatics for such a measly answer?
Yep. Could she really walk out?
And the next question? “I’m assumin’ preservation and ease of carryin’” she suggested contents but with the Professor being as MAD as he was she wasn’t going to dare open her mouth for much longer. Not to answer a question anyway, if it really came to it she may tell them to all stop being such frickin’ big children.
Urgh.

"Putting the food in tubes made it easier to control without gravity, so the food was easier to eat and didn't get crumbs everywhere, Captain." Quote:

Maybe Captain Flamsteed would just gloss over her. Or he could say she was completely right. That was always good.
Now that the majority of those practicing bad form had been dealt with...save for the one who was apparently saying NO to their captain. Yes. Another look that had the potential to kill was sent in that child's (Lottiepot) direcntion.
"Poor diction is bad form will not be tolerated," he sneered at the one Lost Girl (ScarletCharm104), whose response may as well have been in a foreign tongue as far as his ears were concerned. "As for the rest of you," he continued, arm haphazardly waving to the rest who had spoken. "You are all on par with what is written here on this parchment, so I hope everyone was practicing good form and paying attention." If not, then too bad. For he was a busy man and would not repeat. "The first meal in space was had by Yuri Gagarin, who ate three 160 gram toothpaste-type tubes containing two servings of puréed meat and one of chocolate sauce. As said by some of you, these toothpaste tubes were used because astronauts could squeeze the food directly into their mouths and not worry about their food floating away due to the zero gravity and potentially causing serious damage to the equipment on-board." His eyes flicked towards his prisoner in the back of the room and a smirk spread across his bearded features - a beard that still had some of the spit out mint ice cream foam stuck to it, by the way.
"The ice cream you have been savoring..." or SOME had anyway. "Is freeze dried ice cream." He continued to read from the parchment as he made his way towards the back of the room. "Dehydrated foods weigh significantly less than those that are not and even nowadays food is either partially or completely dehydrated to prevent them from spoiling. Astronauts need to add water to the majority of their foods to eat it, and it is important to note that this water is oftentimes recycled water from..." He paused his reading and made a noise reminiscent of a parrot being strangled. "...waste waters from urine, from oral hygiene and hand washing, and by condensing humidity from the air...including the air breathed out by the crew."
THAT SOUNDED ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! WHY WOULD ANYONE WISH TO GO INTO THIS PLACE CALLED SPACE AND ENDURE THAT?!
"It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to rehydrate and heat an average meal. Once this is accomplished... astronauts must also attach their individual food containers to a food tray with fabric fasteners. The tray itself connects either to the wall or to the astronauts' laps to prevent their food from floating away due to the zero gravity environment. So aren't you all glad for gravity?"
Whoever wrote this was a pathetic excuse for a gentleman. This handwriting was awful!
"BUT HERE IN NEVERLAND WE DO NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THIS PETTY THING CALLED GRAVITY, FOR WE HAVE PIXIE DUST!" he exclaimed as he removed the cage from the wall holding Tinker Bell (Professor Flamsteed's pet rock dressed up as the fairy and had been that way since Halloween). "BEHOLD!" he said triumphantly as he removed the fairy from her prison. "JUST THINK A HAPPY THOUGHT, assuming such a thing exists in your feeble minds, AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ZERO GRAVITY SITUATION RIGHT HERE!" He then pulled his arm back as though he were about to throw the fairy. "As she flies across the room and covers everyone and everything in pixie dust, do not be surprised if your tables and the food upon it floats as well. Just like this space place! You are allowed to eat ONE food item to experience what it is like to be one of these....astronaut beings. After, you are to float back down to your seat and SIT. ARE WE CLEAR?"
GOOD.
He then shook the fairy (the rock) over his head and threw her across the room with a menacing laugh that echoed throughout the area. The rock zoomed passed everyone - not hitting a single person in the head or any other limb - and went crashing into the chalk board and knocked it over completely with a loud CRASH.
Meanwhile, the Captain was thinking of the only happy thought he had and laughing even more crazily as he flapped his arms. "HAHA! YOU AREN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FLY, PETER PAN! I'LL GET YOU YET!"
But, to keep with good form he flew towards one of the food strands and plucked a floating peach out of the air (aka he walked somewhat airily while flapping his arms towards the fruit stand and picked up a peach) which he then began to eat.
OOC: I am SO SO SO SO SOOOOOO sorry for the delay. I did not imagine it would take me this long to post again, but you guys just give me SO much to play off of and dsfjdlfksjslskj <3
This is sort of a mini activity and you need at least 1 post to complete. Just to clarify, Pebbles (the dressed up rock) is not really Tinker Bell and there is no real fairy dust being spread about. So please do not RP things literally floating upwards or your characters flying about the classroom like a bird.
OF COURSE your characters can react to "Professor Flamsteed's" actions however you see fit. And no, nothing bad will happen if your character eats any of the food - but we suggest staying away from raw meat for obvious reasons 
Thank you all for your patience and creative RPing! <33 and for putting up with me :|
if you are curious about water recycling in space, this is a good read.
