Sam had grinned as her bestie plopped down beside her. "You look awesome," she commented quietly. Because although she'd already seen the costume when Dora was helping with her head of snakes, she truly did. Stunner, yup. And she wouldn't say no to sharing the fruit after class either. "Sounds yummy."

And was Myers avoiding eye contact with her? It took her a moment to realise why, and then she chuckled. Consider that a challenge, Professor!

But with the beginning of class, notes needed to happen, and Sam drew her gaze to her parchment. There was certainly a fair bit to note down about the myths about lotuses...even though they appeared to be learning about persimmons today, which were called lotuses once upon a time but aren't the same sort of addicting kind? Maybe?

NEWTs studies were confusing.

Lots of people had mentioned memory-related stuff already. That seemed a strong effect for a fruit though. Like...why would it evolve that trait, assuming they were talking about a real fruit here, and not still just a mythical one? If people ate it and never remembered enough to move, the seeds would never get spread...leading to overcrowding and probably, given the addicting part, over-predation.

Confounding seemed more likely - say, causing a person to meander from plant to plant. Or some sort of lust for more? She raised her hand to get Myer's attention. Here, Professor Cyclops! Come look into Medusa's eyes! "I think a confounding effect, perhaps. Combined with a sort of lust for more."
