 some mentions and moving on! elephant-astic•wanderlust•stay in the ninedaaays the original Taco Belle•look at the flowers✿
It hadn't escaped Neva's attention that some of the children looked apprehensive and she gave an encouraging smile as she walked around, observing their work and offering help where it was needed. So far, they were doing wonderfully and while they weren't always hitting the target, or sticking their landings, at least they were trying.
"Listening ears on, Apollo." She moved over towards the second year to address him directly. "I did mention that the spell allows your feet to stick firmly to a surface, but the cool part is that you can unstick yourself to walk quite easily." So in short yes, he'd be able to launch himself off the swing without problem.
"Remember what I said about being able to walk easily along the wall once you're stuck," She said as she watched Miss Blackthorne's face as she let herself fall from the wall to the cushioned floor. She certainly didn't need to walk down if she didn't want to, but it would be good practice for the next portion of the activity.
"The swing-Mr. Trent, we're not runn-" Oh dear. Gryffindors.
Miss Gaeltheos was being brave and facing the swing and target in just the manner she'd hoped the kids would. Neva smiled watching her. "Great launch!"
Miss Nam and Miss Blaze seemed to be taking their time, practicing well before approaching the activity. This would've been her approach, too.
Mr. Mordrake seemed to really be enjoying himself and his little cry of glee as he let go of the swing had her laughing softly behind her hand as he stuck the landing. Mr. Jones and Miss Jenovick also had successful attempts and the brunette clapped in approval, pleased to see their progress.
After a bit more observation, the Charms Professor moved back towards the front of the room and pulled a box of balloons from behind her desk. Without a word, she used her wand to stick them up the wall on the right side of the room, starting at the bottom. Then she stuck a whole bunch all over the ceiling, finishing with a trail of them leading back down the left wall and ending where the wall meets the floor on that side of the room. Then she pulled out another box of black water balloons and just let those rest next to her. With a look of satisfaction, she nodded her head and then turned her attention to the kids.
"Alright everyone, it's time to move on to the final activity of today's lesson." She paused, allowing anyone who was finishing up a few moments to do just that. "As you can see, I've stuck a bunch of purple, orange, pink, and teal balloons going up one wall, across the ceiling, and then coming back down the opposite wall. Your goal will be to use the sticky toes spell on yourself to move around the walls and across the ceiling, popping as many of the balloons in your team's color with your hands as you can before time runs out." Fun, right? Well, mostly. "The floor will continue to be charmed so that any falls will be cushioned, so please don't worry about that. Have confidence in yourself and in your spells." And also she hoped they'd remember to have fun. "Now the trick is, these black balloons beside me are filled with water. You may arm yourself with as many of these balloons as you think you can carry and toss them at your opponents during the activity, keeping in mind that wet feet means the level of stickiness decreases greatly, or the feet stop being sticky all together." They'd be dropping like flies if the kids had good aim. "I've made sure the surface of the walls and ceiling won't get slippery, so the water balloons should only impact the target's feet and stickiness if they make contact." She wasn't trying to disrupt the activity too much, just make it a bit more interesting. "If you happen to fall to the floor, simply dry your feet using the hot air charm and get back up there." Easy, right? "I'll let you know when your time is up. In the meantime, you may pick the team color you'd like to play on and in a few moments we'll begin."
While the students picked a team, Neva cleared away the equipment from the practice activity so it was well out of the way.
"You may begin in five...four...three...two..one..GO!"
Hello everyone! Main Activity time. Some OOC notes here!
1. Label all posts with the color team your charrie has chosen to be on
2. Each post can EITHER be a popping balloons post OR a tossing a black balloon post. It CANNOT BE BOTH! Be sure to label your post with which your charrie is doing. Ex: "Pink Team- Popping 2 pink balloons" or "Pink Team- Tossing black balloon at ____"
3. Please do not RP whether or not a water balloon has hit the target. That is entirely up to that RPer.
4. If your charrie falls, they won't be seriously hurt. The floor is super fall-friendly thanks to magic!
5. You don't need to RP your charrie seeking out a team. In the effort to make the most of our RP time, just assume they did.
Let me know if you have any questions! We'll have until Wednesday, June 30th to RP (probably will close class late that evening)! If you're playing catch-up, feel free to do that as well!
