Astronomy Lesson 2 :: food in space.............sort of
The small table with the lint roller and sign informing you that it is not to be used on your hair has been moved from outside of the Astronomy classroom to outside of the Astrophysics Laboratory. The use of it, or rolling eyes at it, should be second nature by now...but as you step inside the laboratory and grab your lab coat with your NASA name tag on it from the hanger to the right of the door...you may find yourself wondering if you are in the correct location.
But that is not all that is a bit strange. In the front of the laboratory, where the professor's desk usually is, are several large wooden stands filled with all sorts of produce and meats. There are mouthwatering fruits, tantalizing vegetables, and succulent looking raw meats and seafood just waiting to be eaten. Not to worry, there are charms in place to ensure that nothing spoils! However, the blackboard to the left of the stands states very clearly DO NOT TOUCH OR EAT ANYTHING - which must surely upset your grumbling tummy.
Perhaps the strangest of all is the fact that Professor Flamsteed is no where to be seen. Hmm...guess you better find a seat and wait for class to start then?
⌦Lesson Progression
▸ question 1 :: Why is February 20, 1947 a significant date?
▸ question 2 :: Why was the first space food put in toothpaste tube-like containers?
▸ mini activity :: er...faith, trust, and pixie dust? o.o Time to "fly" and have a bite to eat.
▸ activity :: purée food war!
▸ activity :: UPDATE! 24 hour warning...approximately
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
Her point was taken. It might not have been something in the Professor's meal, unless he was in the habit of walking over to random tables and sharing. This, whatever it was, was a different kind of ridiculous and for a moment the Gryffindor simply stared. So much shouting and wand raising and what even? Lex blinked, taking it all in, before, "You don't reckon it's that book again, do you? I don't remember where it got off to but it's capable of independent movement and Hogwarts is full of prying eyes that'll crack anything open once." It was the most likely right now. Lottie said she'd put on a costume and spoke of Maleficent and now the Professor and others were.......THIS.
"This is why we burn books." Okay Lottie? Burning, it was necessary and a lot safer than reading was around this castle. Also, what in Merlin's beard was a SMEE and WHY was Airey yelling it at them....? The Gryffindor watched the Professor approach before yelling something about first mate to her and boat something to her bestie.
.....What......?
Lex shot Lottie a LOOK. This was the book's work. You couldn't convince her of anything else. What had they walked into???? "I don't thi--" But then a wand was thrust at her with directions to polish it...? "Aye aye Captain...?"What? Consider her lost on the matter and now in possession of the Professor's wand. 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?

Whoa what now? Had the Professor/Captain just told students that they would be walking the plank? And now he was setting students to be on his side in a battle against 'Peter Pan'? This was insane!
Hady shifted around in her seat checking out the reactions some of the others were giving. A few like herself seemed to be quite puzzled but others (mostly those from her house) appeared to be joining in on this...game? Or whatever it was. Where they learning about Astronomy or Fairy Tales? One really couldn't seem to be sure anymore.
Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear the small girl carefully opened up the food parcel that was on her desk and examined the contents inside. At the moment she wasn't exactly hungry anymore just incredibly confused and the perplexed look on her face showed it.

Jasmine had already decided hat she had lost her mind because he crazy shenanigans going on in class could not be happening. Someone must have slipped her a potion and she was hallucinating right now. That had to be it. So if she was crazy, she was just going to pretend like everything was normal. 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?

Adi was watching all the stuff unfolding around him slightly open mouthed. All these fairy tale characters... even Smee! Well, multiple Smees. But Smee was one of Adi's favourite characters. Funny little fat dude.
"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.

"Correct," he said as he marched back up to the board and stuck a piece of chalk to the tip of his hook to write the date and the word 'fruit flies' to the board. "Says here on this piece of parchment that this is important because it proved that living things on Earth could survive in outer space. After..." he squinted at the parchment and removed his spectacles from his pocket. "I have never seen such appalling handwriting before." He squinted some more. "After...monkeys, mice, and dogs were....launched into space." This made sense to the Lost Boys here? He would NOT allow himself to fall behind them in mental capacity. It would be the epitome of bad form!
"So it is thanks to these living things that the possibility for humans in space was realized. The first of whom was Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961." Whoever that gentleman was. "Which now goes back to the previous topics you have discussed..." he continued as he read from the parchment...skipping over a lot of the illegible text. "...because the Earth goes kaboom...humans can live in space."
His finger trailed over the parchment to the next point.
"Living in space poses many difficulties, one of which was a serious concern for the Friendship 7 mission of 1962. It was known at that time if the ingestion and absorption of nutrients were possible in a state of zero gravity. During this spaceflight, astronaut John Glenn ate food packed in a tube." MORE squinting at the parchment. "Who can explain why a tube, like a tube of toothpaste, was used as a food container?"
He stopped here to look up at the class.
"And do you all have an excess of earwax built up in your ears? I SAID TO EAT THE CONTENTS OF THOSE PARCELS!" he roared as he stomped over to the nearest Lost Child's desk (CLAIM THIS SPOT IF YOU WANT!), snatched up one of the parcels, tore it open, and stuffed the food in his mouth.
Ian watched as the Professor/Captain Hook went around making replies. Apparently his own attempt at placating the Captain fellow was unnoticed (except by his table mates) and Ian decided he had done what he could and he would do no more. He watched as the Captain made bold proclamations, but then backed down from them. This Captain was sort of cowardly and Ian decided also a bit of a bully. 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.
"Exactly, don't you point your stupid wand at me." Agatha snapped at the Gryffindor kid as professor Flamsteed told him off. See, the man had called her a lady. He knew what he was talking about. Unlike this silly child whom she had to deal with. The Slytherin flipped her hair, totally feeling superior now, since she had won the case, obviously.
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.

The first astronomy lesson had been pretty good, very physics based and so the blonde was able to keep up easily with her classmates. She hoped this lesson would replicate this and meet her expectations. She'd liked the Professor too, he was enthusiastic and clearly into his job unlike others probably were. She entered the classroom swiftly after using the lint roller. Layla's uniform was usually pretty dust free anyway but no harm in doing it anyway.
As she stepped onto the premises she immediately noticed the lack of a professor in the room. Interesting and a little quizzical but perhaps he had some over-the-top welcome to make as he entered. Eh. She didn't really care.
The food was also a pretty obvious sight but Layla very much doubted whether she'd be able to eat anything anyway. She was a particularly fussy eater and stuck to incredibly healthy dinners. So far a lot of the teachers had offered unhealthy snacks full of uneccesary sugars and quite frankly a load of rubbish. She wouldn't touch them with a ten foot barge pole. She HADNT eaten but she didn't really expect to eat much here anyway.
The Ravenclaw found her way to Clara and Eden because she didn't really know anyone else here. And weirdly she didn't fancy sitting alone today. She offered them half smiles before folding her arms on the table. "Hey" she spoke glancing at the contents of their desks.

Clutching a few parchments in his hand, the Captain sneered as he stepped into the room and saw it to be filled with Lost Boys...and Lost Girls. What kind of rubbish had his dedication to good form gotten him into this time? Educating these parasitic sacks of entrails....
Using his hook to scratch the stone wall just outside, releasing a teeth-gritting and skin crawling noise into the air, his sneer turned into a smile that caused his mustache to wiggle. "Greetings and salutations................children," he said with forced pleasantries as he removed his hat and hung it, along with the bird cage containing his very special prison, on one of the now empty hangers by the door. "Jas. Hook at your service, but you all are to refer to me as Captain." He strut towards the front of the room, running his hook along the table tops and scratching them up as he went. "I will be your substitute instructor today ONLY because it is in good form to adhere to the schedule I discovered previously. NOT because I want to be here."
Nearly at the front of the room now, the Captain stopped quite suddenly and spun around in place before sinking his hook into the table where a young boy (natethegreat) was sitting. "Tell me, boy, do your eyes not work? Or hast thou simply forgotten thy manners?" Without saying another word, the Captain reached into the boy's pocket and pulled out the apple he had stolen and set it on the table while remaining hunched over. "Stealing from your Captain? Tsk tsk tsk...it's the plank for you boy!" And then he slammed his hook into the apple, screwing it, and took a large bite out of the apple as he stood up straight. "But it would be bad form to deny you a bit of education before you meet thy doom, so you shall walk the plank after this lesson is complete."
Taking a few more bites out of the juicy red apple, his forget-me-not blue eyes returned to the parchment in his hand and he read from it for a few moments before looking back at the sea of vacant expressions. "I have read that you have studied something called geocide previously...with particular attention to asteroid collisions..." What ever in Neverland all that was. He did not care enough to ask them to explain these things in detail either. None of it related to him or his still missing crew. Perhaps...he could recruit some of these sorry excuses for maggots to join him on the Jolly Roger...
"It also says here that you may...eat whatever it is that is in those strange looking parcels on your tables." And there was a dismissive wave with his hook (apple still attached) as he said this. "I am also meant to ask you if anyone can inform me why the date February 20, 1947 is significant." Which was rather odd to ask considering the answer was written right there below the question on the piece of parchment.
Poorly written handwriting, for the record.
The Captain was not yet aware that his very obsession was sitting just within a leap and his hook's reach. Not yet anyway.
OOC: class has officially started! Please do not post arriving late unless you are willing to face the IC consequences
Also, please assume that Professor Flamsteed taught a few lessons on asteroids between the first RPed lesson and this one.
Class will hopefully continue approximately 12-14 hours from the time of this post.

As for his claim to the Lost Boys, it seemed like the one boy wasn't the only one who needed his eyes checked. They were ALL AROUND YOU, PAN. "Bad form, Peter, standing on a desk like that with nothing but a twig to fight me with."
YOU GAMES OF MAKE BELIEVE WILL NOT SAVE YOU NOW, PETER PAN. PREPARE TO MEET THY DOOM!
Before he could taught his nemesis further, or act on his thoughts, the same blind poor with bad form was speaking again and spouting off complete rubbish. He clearly needed his ears checked as well. Peter Pan was not his captain and therefore stealing from him was all in good form. The cocky brat deserved it.
"If you are going challenge me to a duel, you could have at least done so in the corrected civilized for. En garde, street rat. En garde." He eyed their shoes on the table and sticks in there hands. "Bad form! Bad form indeed! No standing on tables like that!"
And oooooooooh what he would give to have a proper go at Peter Pan right now...but he was out numbered and not a fool. Plus, he had this civic duty he had to attend to - this whole teaching duty. But he would be recruiting during this. Oh yes. By the time all this was done he would have his own crew and THEN, Peter Pan, thy doom would come!
SPOILER!!: Alexa & Lottie!
One eye always watching Peter Pan, his threatening gaze fell on the next voice that spoke and all of a sudden a wide grin spread across the man's features. That tone of concern for his well-being and nourishment. Yes. Yes FINALLY he had been found! "SMEEEEEEE!" he declared, arms spread out wide as he marched towards the source of the voice...only to find that there were two young ladies sitting there. And no Smee.
She could be his replacement.
"You there," he said, pointing his hook to the one wearing the badge. "You shall be my first mate and you," he said as he turned to the other girl. "You shall be my boatswain. Congratulations are in order." And he gave the two of them some quick applause. "Now you, New Smee. Your first order of business is to polish my sword," he said as he reached into his scabbard and tossed it at her (which was nothing more than Professor Flamsteed's wand. No real sword). "I want to see my reflection in that by the end of the day."
Now that that had been settled, the Captain's gaze fell on another one of the Lost Boys. Another that showed clear promise in his interest with his struggle to best the Pan.
"No, but tell me, boy. Hast thou ever considered being a pirate?" There were plenty of openings.
And this one. Yes. He quite liked her bloodthirsty way of thinking. She would do nicely in the war against Peter Pan - still watching you. Always watching you, boy.
"Join my crew aboard the Jolly Roger and I shall make sure you get your axe," he promised.
SPOILER!!: Sophie & Toby!
"BAD FORM!" he roared as his hook went into the table top just between the two.
"Were you not ever taught that it is incredible rude to whisper and pass notes in class? YOU TWO SHALL JOIN THAT ONE AND WALK THE PLANK!" he declared triumphantly. "But first, your grade for today's lesson." He reached over and plucked one of the quills away from the two and quickly scribbled down a big letter F on both of their parchments.
"After my ti---after my time?!" he roared at the boy. "How DARE you imply that MY TIME has an END! You will join the others and walk the plank!"
Nostrils flaring - hey, was that steam coming out of them? - he glared at the next voice that spoke...and had to glance back down at the parchment to confirm or deny her suspicion.
"No."
"Captain. You will address me as Captain," he corrected as he leaned forward to have his nose practically touch the one belonging to the younf man that had spoken. "NEW SMEE! (DaniDiNardo) Start keeping notes for me. This one too shall walk the plank."
He checked the parchment again. "No."
He tapped his lip with his hook and stepped towards the Lost Boy. "I quite like the look of you. My crew needs people of intelligence. You will make a fine addition," he said while placing a firm hand on his shoulder. "Welcome aboard the Jolly Roger."
SPOILER!!: Kevin & Agatha!
"It's Captain," he enunciated. "Bad form to show a lack of diction, boy." He threw New Smee a quick look. Yes, this one as well. The plank with this one.
"It is also bad form to point silly sticks at a lady."
SPOILER!!: Kace & Lux!
He eyed the pair and smirked. "No, but has thou ever thought of becoming one?"

OOC: I'm sorry for not doing the usual individual replies to everyone, but all your posts were read, digested, and appreciated. So thank you <3
I will be out tomorrow for the wedding of two of my best friends, so it is VERY likely that my next post won't come until at least 36 hours from the time of this post. Thank you for your patience and understanding :3
Eden watched Layla come in and waved at her friend and smiled as she took a seat close to them. WHOOH. She was about to ask her something when Professor Flamsteed swaggered in..
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..

This was weird.
This was all too weird and not at all what she'd signed up for.
The entire time the 'Professor' had been talking, she'd stayed silent, taking everything in and hoping that no attention was turned on her. And judging ... definitely judging the ENTIRE time. She'd been prepared for a lesson and people acting as they DO in lessons. Not ... whatever this was. She wasn't panicking yet, though, just ... staring at the Professor and glancing at the exit. The temptation to just leave was pretty big right now, but something told her that that would be worse for her. Also, Eden was sending her terrified looks, so she couldn't leave for that reasons, too.
Clara simply sunk down further into her seat and stayed quiet. Weird school.
"BAD FORM!" he roared as his hook went into the table top just between the two.
"Were you not ever taught that it is incredible rude to whisper and pass notes in class? YOU TWO SHALL JOIN THAT ONE AND WALK THE PLANK!" he declared triumphantly. "But first, your grade for today's lesson." He reached over and plucked one of the quills away from the two and quickly scribbled down a big letter F on both of their parchments.

Toby openly looked at the parchment, really not bothering to be all that discreet by that point, and paused. YES and NO. He did think Airey WAS in there, but... maybe not right now? The dude could be dramatic but the way he was talking about Astronomy, and not wearing a suit and... sort of disrupting his own lesson? It didn't s-

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.

Kevin just SNEERED at Agatha when she flipped her hair and turned his attention to the professor. Or....whoever that guy was because that was definitely not Flailsteed... unless he forgot a note on the noticeboard? no? oh...
"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.

"Captain. You will address me as Captain," he corrected as he leaned forward to have his nose practically touch the one belonging to the younf man that had spoken. "NEW SMEE! (DaniDiNardo) Start keeping notes for me. This one too shall walk the plank."
He checked the parchment again. "No."
He tapped his lip with his hook and stepped towards the Lost Boy. "I quite like the look of you. My crew needs people of intelligence. You will make a fine addition," he said while placing a firm hand on his shoulder. "Welcome aboard the Jolly Roger."
SPOILER!!: Kevin & Agatha!
"It's Captain," he enunciated. "Bad form to show a lack of diction, boy." He threw New Smee a quick look. Yes, this one as well. The plank with this one.
"It is also bad form to point silly sticks at a lady."
SPOILER!!: Kace & Lux!
He eyed the pair and smirked. "No, but has thou ever thought of becoming one?"
SPOILER!!: Penelope & Samantha & Angel
FINALLY someone had uttered the words scribbled on this piece of parchment he was clutching.
"Correct," he said as he marched back up to the board and stuck a piece of chalk to the tip of his hook to write the date and the word 'fruit flies' to the board. "Says here on this piece of parchment that this is important because it proved that living things on Earth could survive in outer space. After..." he squinted at the parchment and removed his spectacles from his pocket. "I have never seen such appalling handwriting before." He squinted some more. "After...monkeys, mice, and dogs were....launched into space." This made sense to the Lost Boys here? He would NOT allow himself to fall behind them in mental capacity. It would be the epitome of bad form!
"So it is thanks to these living things that the possibility for humans in space was realized. The first of whom was Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961." Whoever that gentleman was. "Which now goes back to the previous topics you have discussed..." he continued as he read from the parchment...skipping over a lot of the illegible text. "...because the Earth goes kaboom...humans can live in space."
His finger trailed over the parchment to the next point.
"Living in space poses many difficulties, one of which was a serious concern for the Friendship 7 mission of 1962. It was known at that time if the ingestion and absorption of nutrients were possible in a state of zero gravity. During this spaceflight, astronaut John Glenn ate food packed in a tube." MORE squinting at the parchment. "Who can explain why a tube, like a tube of toothpaste, was used as a food container?"
He stopped here to look up at the class.
"And do you all have an excess of earwax built up in your ears? I SAID TO EAT THE CONTENTS OF THOSE PARCELS!" he roared as he stomped over to the nearest Lost Child's desk (CLAIM THIS SPOT IF YOU WANT!), snatched up one of the parcels, tore it open, and stuffed the food in his mouth.

..............................What?
It was like Comic Con at this school...and Gabriel knew about Comic Con because he and Ruby had never been discouraged from muggle things. It seemed to fit the bill because people from all over the world would come dress as gaming, television, and movie characters...and even though they were only dressing as storybook? characters, it made sense? to his logical brain.
...and a bunch of information was being given. Giving curious glances from his desk, he ducked his head and began writing again.
SPOILER!!: Astronomy notebook!
Gabriel P. Banner
Ravenclaw Fifth Year
December 4, 2084
Astrophysics Laboratory
Astronomy Two: ?? Lab coats with NASA nag tags
Bunsen burners
Space ice cream
Shelves of food (not yet accessible)
The importance of February 20, 1947: Fruit flies were sent into space (via a V-2 rocket launched by the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps) and successfully returned. It's significant because it was the first living things to do so.
Important dates: Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin on April 12, 1961 - The first human in space
Friendship 7 mission of 1962 - Astronaut John Glenn ate food packed in a tube
Why are tubes used as food containers for space? - The tubes were lightweight and easily handled in the zero-gravity vacuum of space. The tubes also prevented crumbs and other miniscule food particles from getting into the machinery.
- More modern adaptations provide a bar-coding system to track an astronauts diet during extended space travel.
...and wow, the professor was really getting into this role, wasn't he?
Gabe could respect that...but he was still doubtful about the space ice cream. He didn't know what his stress and anxiety levels were going to do...and for that reason alone, he didn't want to....consume anything. For throwing up reasons. He'd already....done that.....in that Creatures lesson.
EMBARRASSMENT. IT WAS REAL.
....and with the shouting having commenced, Gabe's anxiousness spiked. He didn't care....for loud...noises. They....put him on edge. Hardcore. His grip on the quill tightened; making his knuckles go white.
Breathe through it. Just....breathe though it.

What in the name of all things magical was happening here? Maddie had a FEW theories, none of which were that likely but ALL of which she found amusing.
1. Professor Flamsteed, after finding one of his favorite suits covered in lint and/or fur (some prank, no doubt), lost his mind and took on the persona of Captain Hook to deal with the psychological toll the messed up suit had taken on him.
2. Professor Glendower had started an underground acting club and had convinced those acting a bit OFF to partake in a flashmob of the dramatic variety.
3. Professor Culloden had come up with a BRILLIANT potion that allowed you to believe you were whatever character you read about. (This theory, however, meant that the people acting STRANGE were all into fairytales.)
In any case, the second year was just going to sit here and enjoy the show. She wasn't going to TOUCH the pouches of food given they could be laced with the "potion" from theory number 3 and she wasn't having ANY of that. JUST saying.
Too bad she didn't have that camera from charms on her right now.
He eyed the pair and smirked. "No, but has thou ever thought of becoming one?"

Kace heard the professor's question and contemplated. He looked at Lux to see what she was thinking. You know being a pirate could be awesome. He grinned and nodded and said, "If you have some pirate clothing I can wear.." He might be a good crew member plus he wanted to learn how to use a sword. But onto the lesson ahead! 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?
"BAD FORM!" he roared as his hook went into the table top just between the two.
"Were you not ever taught that it is incredible rude to whisper and pass notes in class? YOU TWO SHALL JOIN THAT ONE AND WALK THE PLANK!" he declared triumphantly. "But first, your grade for today's lesson." He reached over and plucked one of the quills away from the two and quickly scribbled down a big letter F on both of their parchments.

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.
Soph was peeking between her writing and Toby, trying to gauge his reaction to it and further express her concerns about where the REAL Flamsteed was throughout this whole Hook... possession... curse thing, when the BANG! of the hook striking the table made her jump. And Soph just stared blankly up at Hook!Flamsteed. Walk... the plank? Ha!
"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.
First, the professor was dressed up as Captain Hook WHY?. Second, he was talking weird, like people did about many centuries ago. Third, he did not know what that date meant and his importance. And fourth, everyone was crazy.
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. 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.

...ice cream...
Nope. Marigold had already lived through an ice cream debacle, she didn't want another one, pleasethanksbye. Also, if it was the ice cream that was making everyone weird, she wanted it even less. She shrank back into her seat. Lex was Smee? Really? First Maleficent, then Smee? Head Girl more like out of her head crazy.
She raised her hand timidly again and said "Becausethenthefoodwouldn'tflyeverywherebecauseitw ascompressedintoatube."

Kyroh couldn't explain anything.
But there was ice cream.
And it was free.
So he was going to eat it.
Despite the fact that people were acting loony and Dante was Peter Pan and Flamsteed was Captain Hook and why hadn't HE gotten the memo. He could SO be a good Nibs! All he needed was a sword or something OHOH and a ONESIE! Yup. Onesies were the new bow ties. He called it.
Grabbing the space ice cream he pulled the parcel apart and was JUST about to eat it when well- Toby was yelling. "But it's ICECREAM." There was NEVER a reason NOT to eat ice cream Toby. Glancing at the chuck of freeze dried whatever in front of him, Kyroh broke off a piece and stuffed it in his mouth.

Peter smirked and with a bow said. "At you service". But please everyone here was not part of his lost boys. They could be if they wanted to. But most here were way to old. Somewhere were not even kids anymore and all grown up. And he had no idea who the other old kid who jumped up with him. But anyone against Hook was fine with him.
"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.

Zander threw his head back in surprise and his eyes were definitely SUPER widened. Uh. Did Agatha just snap at him!? Just when he thought things couldn't get worse, sitting right in between these two fighting. Now Agatha was angry at him!! But he didn't DO anything! Just trying to diffuse the tension that's all. "Sorry, just wanted to know what you thought.." Except he wasn't really sorry, it was more taken-aback.
And then. Then before he could do anything else O____________O What in the name of Merlin's greying underpants was THIS? .... How come Flailsteed was dressed all funny? Pirates definitely do not go into space so this couldn't be just some weird type of analogy or something... ??? Like what. Then at Kevin's nudge, he turned. "He was?" in the common room? Weird. "Lex was acting weird in class a few weeks ago too... Maybe they caught the same cold or something?" Or maybe there was some sort of weird infection going around Gryffindor House!?!? YOU KNOW WHOSE FAULT IT WAS??... Probably Romanos. Wasn't she promoted to some special Gryffindor position now that Beaut-nope. Not thinking about it. LALALA not think about her.
As for the rest of the lesson, Zander had no clue what was going on now. See, normally he'd at least keep up until the activity. But nope. This was chaotic and weird and just like that crying scrying lesson in divination.

Lotus blinked, repeatedly, as Airey and Dante had their little one-on-one... whatever it was. She refuses to address either of them as Hook or Peter Pan. REFUSES. So, it was Airey and Dante. Also, breathing was happening because this was a lot to witness in mere five minutes.
Calming breaths. Like the ones in yoga.
Mmmhmm.
Then Lex came up with the brightest explanation for this. And the girl whispered again, agreeing with her best friend. "I believe so. Wait, you don't remember where the book is??" THANKS FOR THAT, LEX. Her suggestion was way off, though, there was no need to burn books! Except Divination ones, maybe, depends."No, this is no proper reason for burning books. And don't mention this nearby Jeremiah." Though it proved to be a wonderful distraction once. But she also almost gave him a heart attack.
However...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!
SMEEEEE? Wh--?! Her eyebrows went up. BOATSWAIN?! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Why EXACTLY was she NOT the first mate, huh?! Alice Fischer was GONE, and she still DIDN'T get first mate. Funny how she was under the misguided impression of being someone's Number One. GRANTED, she was in charge of the crew, technically speaking, but EXCUSE US, she will not have it. Lotus didn't know how to feel about it.
Nothing was said.
Ssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilence.
Not even Lex's LOOK was registered because, BECAUSE EVEN THE TOUSSAINT KID WAS DEEMED INTELLIGENT IN HER PRESENCE. Er, actually, she breathed again, trying to keep as cool, calm and collected where possible. Part of her wanted to leave ASAP, knowing that Airey probably won't remember this, but... maybe she should stay, keep the sane people in check. Sane. LOL, this was Hogwarts.
NO.
She will NOT eat the ice cream. We're not going through this again, Airey Flamsteed. We accept your tea, but nothing else. And ice cream at Hogwarts was prohibited. To ingest, that is. So she was with Tobias on this one, and she pushed the packets away from her. Nope.
And why were people being so loud, OMG!?
Okay, she was certain if she left no one would notice except for Lex, and she wouldn't say anything, because what sort of a best friend would she be if she did, hmmmm?? Her eyes wandered around, and noticed the yearbook boy, Gabriel, close by. He looked just as distressed and she felt. Poor guy.
Okay so she had been giving Professor………the CAPTAIN strange looks the entire class. Puck was about to take a bite of her ice cream sandwich when she saw everyone was reacting so badly to it….it was ice cream. What was wrong with ice cream?
”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 TOCKTICK TOCKTICK TOCKTICK TOCK

This wasn't a class, this was an uproar.
And Grayson was well chuffed.
He crossed his arms across his chest and watched with GREAT interest as the battle unfolded. Were Hook!Flamsteed and Peter Pan really going to have a duel? Bring it. Why wait until the end of the lesson? Settle the score now, while they had sets of eager eyes watching them. Also, Alexa Cambridge was SMEE? And Lottie was some boat person? Lulz. Lulz forever.
WHY in the name of Merlin was he going to give an axe to a freaking twelve year old? And more importantly, was she going to go on a mad rampage with the axe?
Before he could do more than glance over in the direction of the axe!girl, Captain Flamsteed was going ahead and trying to teach them things. Key word: trying. Because guess what? This wasn't a class. It was interesting to note down that they used tubes up there. Packaged food and whatnot. AND the fact that humans can live in space. Great. He doubted whether you can get piping hot pizza in space so this idea got a big fat no from the Slytherin.
And then there was yelling. Of course there was yelling.
Surprisingly, it was from Toby, a guy who was Hufflepuff to the core from what Grayson could tell. And WHY can't they eat the ice cream? Was it tainted? Was it gonna make people act like loonies? Dude needed to know because he'd rather keep his sanity and not be made to wear spandex while prancing around like some sort of Prince Charming or whoever. No thank you.
He also had no idea why there was ticking going on but he wasn't going to stop it. He had a funny feeling that it was going to get annoying though. Just saying.
Was he going to answer the question? Nah! He was having too much fun watching everything go down.
Norah looked down at her parchment. No? Just no? So this captain guy didn't approve of guessing, apparently. She jumped slightly in her seat when he began to yell, and shot a glance at Jasmine. What the heck was going on? And now the head girl was Smee? 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.
Oh my goodness, my teacher is crazy! Hazel thought to herself. Why was he being Hook? This was starting to scare her. "Er, well, it helps control the amount of food that gets released from the container and it makes sure the food doesn't go flying in the zero gravity." See? No unnecessary words. Maybe Captain Flamsteed would just gloss over her. Or he could say she was completely right. That was always good.
