OCC: The next task is to RP taking out your characters telescope, and trying to find mercury in the sky. If your student didn’t bring a telescope then feel free to RP claiming one from the cupboard. Feel free to be as successful or not as you want with finding the planet. I don’t mind if you partner up either. Have fun with it! I will teach a spell to focus the telescope lens in my next post.
Ira was happy now that it was time to be practical at last!
She took a telescope from the cupboard and proceeded towards the windows...She adjusted her telescopes and then focused it towards the skies...
She peered through the telescope trying to find Mercury first...It was nearest to the sun, so it must be where the sun was now...She focused near the sun and thought she saw a red colored body there. Maybe it was Mercury? Well, it looked like Mercury! She knew how it looked but the Mercury she observed appeared much smaller than she had previously thought, even through the telescope....
