Not to brag, but the hazel eyed Mordrake boy was fairly decent when it came to obstacle courses too. That was because of his quick thinking nature, and cleverness. Sometimes rules were just meant to be broken or bent into such a way that it's still not technically breaking it; and from the looks of things there wasn't going to be much on rules to actually running the course itself.

Striding over to the desk with all the potions laid out, Kayne immediately reached for the one that actually rang some bells in his head; the Exstimulo Potion. Downing it, he now knew that one of his spells would be empowered, which could potentially give him a huge advantage when it came to this. Whenever something came in between Kayne and a goal that couldn't be achieved physically, he tended to use magic. So taking that potion should help a lot.

Momentarily after taking the potion, Kayne walked over to the first obstacle, some hoops that they had to jump through. Knowing there was no way that he'd be able to jump through one by simply just jumping, he backed up a few paces to get a running start. A few tense seconds went by as the surprisingly athletic fashionista jogged in place. Then, at the drop of a dime, he took off in a full sprint to build up momentum. At the very last second, Kayne Mordrake took the leap of faith, and made it through the hoop! To stick the landing, the boy did an action roll, ready to face the next obstacle.

Whether you consciously chose to drink this particular potion or simply got lucky, we'll never know. But congratulations, as you've chosen the actual exstimulo potion. You'll soon feel a significant boost in your magical strength. Maybe you should try out a spell or two? Now that your wizarding abilities are heightened, your casts should be more than successful.

V joined her! Oh good, V and her were good, yes? She gave her friend a beamy smile paired with a greeting. Then Ash and Serena joined them too! Both of them got a smile. Wow! Lisa’s eyes darted to the obstacle course. It was like a siren beckoning her to break free from the crowd to go have FUN. Gah. Had to wait for more people and more instructions.

She didn’t have to wait too long thankfully as class began.

So there mission today, if they chose to accept it, was to select a potion and enter the obstacle course. She eyes the many different colours of the potions and realized that she knew a few of them well and the others… err…. not so well. BUT! There was an orange potion so she was naturally drawn to that one because orange was one of her favourite colours. She was about to reach for that potion when she noticed Nem. Huh….. She wondered what they were thinking but she wasn’t sure if she should approach. Daniel seemed to like Nem well enough so perhaps Nem was kind? Lisa wasn’t a hundred percent sure but she knew Nem was intelligent so she paused, wondering what potion he’d pick but he didn’t even go for one.

She turned back to glance at the vials, reaching towards the cloudy orange one, before pausing to look at the shimmering blue vial. She was about to grab that one when she stopped herself and went with her gut. Orange was better. It was an endurance potion and she’d need that… Though perhaps strength would have been wise given her slight frame and fun sized height.

Lisa held the vial in her hand, eying it, before lifting it up to her lips. Lisa lowers it and then looked over to a few of her peers and raised the vial. “Cheers?” she said, hoping that it wasn’t going to be a terrible tasting potion. Once again, she raised the vial to her lips and drank the potion.

A moment later, she was standing in front of the obstacle course and then paused. She raised her hand. “Professor, can we try all the potions and do a trial run with the obstacle course later? It’d be interesting to see what works best…” she mentioned.

You've made your way to the starting line when a sudden haze comes over you. Instantaneously unsure of where you are or what you're doing here, you may be a bit bewildered. Not to mention that your classmates and professor are now unrecognizable to you. Do you even remember how to start the obstacle course?

Well, at least there's one positive to the situation: You've forgotten what vial you drank from, so there's no way to know that you actually ingested a forgetfulness potion. Ahh, ignorance is bliss...for now.

This was fine with her, nothing with a bit of agility training and keeping physically fit. It would also help burn off some of the extra energy she usually seemed to have.

Shifting her gaze towards the table of potions at least now she understood where that came into play with the days lesson. Take a potion, drink it and complete the course. It sounded simple enough. A little too simple. Lia was pretty sure something was probably going to happen once she was on that course but there was no real way of knowing.. until she was out there giving it her all.

Walking over to the table, the second year studying each one of the potions in turn. First taking in the colors and then the potions names. Yellow, red, orange, blue and purple. At first glance what she wanted to do without even thinking about it was make a grab for the shimmery sky blue potion. Lately blue held her attention more than most other colors. Looking at the potions name though had her think twice about it. Would she be using spells on the obstacle course?

Was she going to need more strength? Maybe. Wit? Possibly. Endurance? It was a possibility. Energy? Uhh, she had lots of that buuuuuut the color was really pretty. The swirly purple potion had caught her eye almost as much as the sky blue one. Might as well go with the one she liked the best.

Picking up the Invigoration Draught, Lia gave the vial a little swirl before lifting it to her lips and drinking it as quickly as she could. Setting the empty vial down, she was ready to go!

Heading to the first part of the obstacle course it was monkey bars right away. She climbed up and grabbed hold of the first bar, swinging herself a little before making a grab to the next bar. So far, so good.

Is it all that swinging that's making you dizzy, or is it something stronger? Slowly but surely, the world around you starts spinning as the purple-colored draught courses through your body. Better hold on tight to that monkey bar, because you've been struck with a solid dose of dizziness. Darn. That was definitely not an Invigoration Draught.

Shreya knew she was in for an interesting turn of events. Truthfully, she felt a bit guilty about the whole thing. She had gone back and forth about whether she should proceed with the lesson. But she figured that practice was the best way to learn. And the students would certainly be getting some practice today.

Ready to watch the show, she settled into the grass next to Nemesis. "You think anyone else will figure it out?" she whispered mischievously. No, Shreya hadn't caught the death glare, but she figured Nemesis was astute enough to pick up on the point of the lesson. Or maybe they were just being their normal, non-participating self.

"Let's see how one potion works out first, dear," Shreya replied to Lisa's question. Then, she leaned back on her elbows, content to watch the plot twists unfold. (But wand still at the ready in case of any emergencies, of course.)

OOC: Duhn duhn DUHNNN. Have fun completing the course now that you know your potion's effect!

For anyone just joining us, feel free to still pick a vial. I'll be back on periodically and can update you on your selected brew's effect. We'll move on in about 2.5 days!

But to be perfectly honest, Morgan didn't even read them all and picked up the first one that also looked the best. What 16 year old boy wouldn't want to also be the strongest? He quickly down it, ready for the obstacle course! First he jumped up onto the balance beam then ran all the way to the end before he could fall off, nearly losing his balance in the process. But he was fast enough to counteract his about to fall apparently. Next were the monkey bars and jumped right on as climbing was his favorite! As you make your way across the monkey bars, you feel a slight tingling spread across your limbs. It starts as a pesky itch on the sole of your foot, then as a feather-like prickling sensation on your kneecap. But before long, your entire body feels as if it's being tickled all over. Hope you can stifle those laughs—it might be tricky to complete the course now that you have a violent case of the tickles. Perhaps you should have taken a closer look at those vials...that certainly was no Strengthening Solution. Text Cut: Ashley Quote: Originally Posted by astrocat Ash liked DOING stuff. Exercising.

She got started on the money bars, not feeling any fatigue yet. It was only the beginning. She could do this part easily, assuming that she could keep her momentum. This lesson was gonna be good. Ash could feel it. [textcut] You're about halfway across the monkey bars when a sudden haze comes over you.

She shook her head; no, she didn’t mind. “I’ll be glad for the company,’’ the sixth year replied with a smile. Not a long time after, Heath arrived. “Hi, you.’’ The Ravenclaw got a smile too. The Snakette couldn’t agree more with Varma; it was great to have a Potions lesson outdoors. Her dark gaze followed the woman then moved to the vials, which were so attractive with their colours. An eyebrow arched as she took in the instructions. Indeed this was all very interesting and unusual. Claudine opted for the deep red potion - the Wit Sharpening potion and soon was downing that potion. Right. She was ready for the course now, yes? Hmm, perhaps you really could use an intelligence-boosting potion next time...because knowledge would have told you that a Wit-Sharpening potion was never blood-red in color. As you begin the course, your mouth starts moving uncontrollably. Looks like someone's feeling outgoing, because you're chattering nonstop. Words, phrases, sheer nonsense—all of it starts spilling out of your mouth. Text Cut: Lisa Quote: Originally Posted by Watson The Professor Varma was SO PRETTY.

He did not know what the Girding Potion and Exstimulo Potion were. From the others, he thought that what he needed most was additional strength. In his opinion, he wasn't dumb enough to take a Wit-Sharpening Potion, and as for the Invigoration Draught ... meh. He did not want to be super energetic like Lisa Nam, even though she was nice and all that. So he took a vial of Strengthening Solution, smelled the bubbly yellow liquid, and drank it in one gulp. ... Was he stronger now? The first year waited for his turn in front of the obstacle course, bouncing on the balls of his feet as a warm-up.

Sighing, she looked over the available potions, trying to decide what would be most useful. Wit-sharpening? Hmmm... Her wits were usually pretty sharp already, it was her athletic ability that was wanting. She wasn't very familiar with the Extimulo potion and wasn't about to down an experimental potion without knowing exactly what it did. So--did she need invigorating, strengthening, or 'girding' the most? She wasn't the most energetic in the mornings, but she figured that once she started the course, momentum and sheer doggedness would carry her through all right. She wasn't the most athletic person in the world, so strength would probably be helpful. But--look at all those obstacles in the course. Violet concluded that endurance would be the best bet here, so she picked up a vial of the cloudy orange potion and lifted it to her lips. Ugh! she wrinkled her nose at the smell, but forced herself to drink it down anyway. Now for the obstacle course! Violet hoped for the best, but didn't expect too much from herself.
