Then Annie went for the dramatic effect and sank both her hands into the two little plants up to the wrists. Immediately, both wrapped around her wrists and wrapped and wrapped up and wrapped and worked their way up to over her fingers, which she was deliberately wriggling, until her hands were completely covered and slowly turning purple.

"Ohhhhh no OHH NOOO, what am I EVER going TO DO??! I think I'm being STRANGLED! GEEEEE!!!" the redhead dramatized, flailing her arms about like ~~Jake Upstead~~ a headless hippogriff. Then, as abruptly as she had started, she stopped and calmly placed her hands on her hips and let them rest there immobile for a few silent minutes.

Slowly, bit by bit, tendril by tendril, the Devil's Snare - for yes, both samples had been Devil's Snare - unwrapped itself from Bunbury's wrists and fell to the ground. She calmly picked them back up and placed them in their respective spots before rubbing her wrists and glancing back at the class.

"There now, see, that was not dangerous." Okay so her skin was a little red and a little irritated but otherwise unharmed. "Now which is which? Now what can you tell me about the physical characteristics of Devil's Snare? Do you see why it's vital to NOT PANIC and be intelligent around some plants? Hmm?"

Jake, who had watched the spectacle in silence, an old shadow of him forcing its way out, raised his hand. "You don't know what it could be... not really. Could just be a potted plant one might keep in their office."

Teehee.

But, one more look at the plants, and the colour drained from Jake's face as he seemed to have an internal battle with not-Jake. "Sometime... yer hafta... You have to panic, because... 'cause, lllllike... yer can't cuh-cuh-control p-p-panic..." Jake shook his head. GAH! Weakling; Jake was disgusted... so scared. "It just can't be helped. Especially when you're cowering before someone who forces you to sit on it..."

Tsk, tsk.
