Now this was an interesting question. "Well it depends on the size of the plant. A fanged geranium won't do you much harm, a snargaluff on the other hand ... "



... why were they so scared? Did they not trust her?
"Today, no they won't ... though any other day, they also wouldn't, unless you let them. But that would just be silly."



The girl didn't know what sinew was? Interesting.
"Sinew is the tough fibrous tissue which connects the meat to the bone. Its sort of white and almost fatty and stringy in appearance."



Seren smiled warmly, this first year was rather on top of things, though it wasn't surprising that he didn't know how to break in his gloves.
"General wear and working with them is best as they will become flexible only where you need them to be, but there's an easy way to speed up the process." Summoning a plastic spray bottle from the stores cupboard, she gave the nozzle a sniff before approaching west. "Hold out your hands," she said, spray bottle at the ready.

"Distilled flobberworm mucus... is extremely useful for improving flexibility for gloves, chilled or numbed plants, eliminating the squeak from doors..."



"They will not hurt you," she assured again.

Though apparently that answer wasn't good enough...



"The plants will not hurt you today, they are sedated... so you will be fine, and more to the point I am here." Because she was an expert when it came to flesh eating plants, so if they were going to trust anyone, it would be her.



A direct question... and a great lead in to the activity.

"Yes, that will be a part of today's activity..." Because really if that was all, then it wouldn't be much fun.


Scanning the area to make sure nobody was lagging behind, Seren then clapped her hands together. "Right class, today, you will be not only brushing, but also flossing your flesh eating plants teeth. They are sedated, so they will not hurt you. Though should they begin to stir then all you need to do is say my name." And she would be there... obviously.

"First, second and third years, you will be working on the fanged geraniums. There are enough for each of you to have your own, so you will be working individually. You are free to chat and help each other if necessary." She paused before moving on to the rest of the instructions.

"Fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh years... you will be working in pairs on piranha plants. Though they look scary, they're sedated so you'll be fine," she said patting the head of one affectionately. Yes, they looked scary, but they really were darlings, and they only reached waist height.

"At your work stations you will find the implements necessary to carry out the activity."

"Are there any further questions?"


At your workstations you will find the following items:

Fanged Geranium Stations
toothbrush
minty flossing twine

Piranha Plant Stations
bigger toothbrush
minty flossing twine

OOC: You have 2 days to RP brushing and flossing your plants teeth. 1-3 years you're working individually but may chat/help out ... 4-7 years you are working in PAIRS. If you're having trouble finding a partner please contact me.
To be eligible for full participation marks you must RP this activity in no less than 5 posts PER PERSON. HAVE FUN!


If they were sedated then why couldn't she brush the teeth of the Piranha plant? Jezzabelle gave a slight frown as she moved to a station with a Fanged Geranium. She easily found the tooth brush and the flossing twine and still she frowned. Why was it that the fourth year students and up seemed to be having all the fun lately?

They got to make brooms sweep on their own while she had to fold clothing and now they were going to get to brush the teeth of a Piranha Plant while she played it safe with a Fanged Geranium, not that messing around with flesh eating plants was ever safe. Still, she would much rather be working on one of those.

She shuffled around slightly from foot to foot and then finally decided she needed to see what she would be working with for the day. How bad were the teeth that she would be scrubbing? As she opened the plants mouth she frowned at the mess and bits of things stuck here and there. It was going to take some effort when it came time to floss. "Well, here goes nothing."
