Thank you Stefan

Art was sitting at his desk with Madame Curie in one hand. The other hand was giving her a good scratch. There was quite a strong smell of menthol surrounding Art, whose knees were playing up. He'd rubbed some cream onto them every morning since the beginning of term, but he was quite used to the smell. If you have a cold or a blocked nose, you might find your nasal passage and sinuses suddenly clear. On Art's table up the front are solid coloured containers full of the ingredients, all of Art's equipment already out and organised, as well as a vial of fluorescent yellow potion.

The door is wide open, and the room is nice and warm. On one wall, hooked over the pegs, are your lab coats. Some are still white, some are unfortunately pink (owing to Miffy). Come in, take a seat, and get ready.

SPOILER!!: OOC

• Come on in!
• The story behind some of the lab coats being PINK are thanks to the incident in the laundry. This happened IC about a month ago, and as the coats are used to protect your uniforms, they probably aren't washed too regularly. SOME of them were in the laundry and turned pink, others were ether washed before, after, or not yet after the incident. So feel free to grab a pink one if you want.
• Please read over Art's guidelines
• The ingredients are in solid containers, so you can't see what's inside them but you can come up and have a look at the potion and have a guess if you wish
• Chat amongst yourselves! We will get started in approximately 22 hours. Opening a little early as I'm a bit unwell and might not be on when I originally planned on opening.
• For those of you new to the RPG, WELCOME to Potions! IC we are in October, so this isn't our first lesson. We would have had about 2 each week since the beginning of term, so you'll already know Professor Newton and his rat Madame Curie.

• 2 drops Leech Juice
• 1 tablespoon Activated Charcoal
• Pinch of ground Bezoar

Method

• Clean equipment
• Add water to cauldron, and bring to a simmer
• Stew alihotsy leaves in simmering water for 20 minutes [prepare other ingredients whilst waiting]
• Remove all traces of leaves, and return water to a boil
• Add dried billywig stings and erumpent tongue, boil for 10 minutes, continuously stiring counter-clockwise
• Allow to cool to room temperature (22 °C/72 °F)
• Add armadillo bile, stir five (5) times counter-clockwise
• Add leech juice, stir twenty (20) times counter-clockwise, and the potion should be light brown in colour
• Bring back to a boil
• Circle wand counter-clockwise over cauldron whilst saying the incantation ‘garrula lingua’ and bring down to a simmer
• Add 1 levelled tablespoon of activated charcoal
• Stir counter-clockwise three (3) times slowly
• Add a pinch of ground bezoar
• Stir once counter clockwise and remove from heat
• As it cools, it will turn from a light brown colour to a fluorescent yellow
• When the colour stops lightening, you may bottle your potion. It will be approximately ten serves, if stored in 20mL vials.
• Label one vial for the Professor to analyse, and ingest another vial. Save the others for your own use, or dispose of.

Characteristics: Fluorescent, solid yellow
Level: Beginner - Intermediate
Information: Dose is 20ml. Smaller dose will limit effects, larger dose will have no extra effect due to the addition of activated charcoal and ground bezoar, which adds a protection to the drinker.

Class has officially started. Post late it you want, but you might get punished otherwise just pretend you've been here all along.
