As soon as the treat was swallowed, the Imp jumped from the professor's hand and darted towards the young Slytherin. She eyed the girl eagerly for just a moment and then tied Kiri's shoes together. Tittering in a high-pitched giggle, the creature sprang back up onto the professor's lap and scanned the crowd, searching out her next victim.
Iliana shook her head at the smallish thing and then gave Kiri an apologetic smile. "Sorry, hun," she said. "I should have warned you. You see what Imps crave most is human attention. They're lonely little creatures that often use their jokes and pranks as a means of attracting human friendship. The problem is WE seldom like it and their attempts usually backfire as a result." Poor little things. "Just remember, while Imps are wild and somewhat uncontrollable, they are NOT harmful. So try not to be afraid."
"Now, who would like to volunteer to come up and feed one of the other Imps? There's no telling what it might do to entertain YOU."
OOC: For this part of the class, I'd like each of you to come to the front and feed an Imp. Then RP your Imp playing a NICE prank or practical joke on one of your fellow classmates. This is supposed to be fun so keep it within reason. Points awarded for creativity.
Oh ew ew ew.
Bugs. In a jar.
She was happy she had guessed right... But still, she gave a small smile to the Professor as she looked fondly at the Imp. It did look kinnda cute. She smiled, and it turned into a sneer showing teeth.
Shudder. Bugs.
But, she could do it. She could go up there, face the little imp, and FEED IT!
Yeeeeeeeeessssssssss!
Miranda stood up, balling her fists and sort of marched to the front of the class where the Professor and the Ipmses were located.
"Erm..." she said looking confused at the professor and then at the cage.
"Do I just...?" she reached into the cage, and instantly felt something little stick to it.
"Oh!" Miranda was surprised and withdrew her hand.
Ooooooooooh! There was an Imp on her hand. THERE WAS AN IMP, ON HER HAND!
Miranda giggled as she watched the creature, it had grabbed itself onto her thumb and was now looking around like there was too much to take in.
"Hellooo..." the Huffie spoke to it softly, imagining that it was probably sensitive to loud noises. Their little ears were very perceptice she supposed.
And then, to the ickyness. Gulping, Miranda reached into the jar and retrieved something...she wasn't sure what the flap it was, but...
"Here you go...you." What was it's name? Should she make one up?
Erm... The Imp was a bit pink-yellow... So...
"Hello, SunRise." Yes that was a nice name. And then she gave the Imp her food.
Ooooooooooooh, I can seee the WOOOOORLD! Hey BO- no- GIRL! Yes, you girl, up there! What is thy name, GIANT?
SunRise? Is that your name? Or wait... WHO TAUGHT YOU TO SAY SUCH PROFANITY? Well I have right a mind to- Oh! Foooooooood!
Give it here! *nom nom nom* Oh yes, this is good. It's a delicatess here, did you know that, GIANT girl? Hey! HEY GIRL, gimme more! OR...Or I'll, uh... Hold on let me think of something...
Miranda watched SunRise the Imp eating her...bug and if it hadn't been so disgusted, the girl would have giggled at the way the creature kept waving an arm up to her face.
"She's waving!" ANOTHER WAVER! Yay!
"Heyaaaa!" Miranda waved back, a big grin on her face.
Do you HEAR ME? I WILL EAT ALL OF YOUR FOOOOOOOD!
All of it, seee how I'm indicating with a wave of my arm how much I WILL eat? You, just just wait and seee, the others told me it was impossible, but I will show them. I WILL RULE THE WOOOOORLD!
Like this!
Miranda furrowed her brow, the Imp was now looking like it wanted to show of her teeth and...demonstrate how big and round she could make her eyes. Miranda looked up at the Professor. Were they supposed to act like this?
And then it ran off! It hopped down from her hand to the roof of the cage and then scuttled down like it was a ladder. And now- wait where did it go!?
You shall now WITNESS the magic and POWERFULNESS OF Seshina THE AMAZONIAN IMP! BEhoooold for I shall take down this GIANT and all other giants. Oh, yes, I will make you fall hard and- oh wait, got to climb higher! *huff puff*
*slide down again*
Uh... YOu know what, GIANT girl? I think I will have to take a raincheck on this... Phew, look at mah belly, its FULL. Sooo....
Miranda felt a tug on her socks and looked down.
"There you are!" With one smooth motion, she picked up the Imp again and put her in her other hand. Had SunRise the Imp done anything mischevious? Turning around to look, it seemed to be fine. No tied shoelaces or anything else...
Great! The Imp looked a bit tired, it was actually sitting down on her palm. Oh, maybe she had enough fun for today.
"Well... Thanks for the company SunRise! Hope the...bug...was good!" She smiled, and with a wave, said bye to the creature and put her back into the cage.
"Thanks, Professor!" Miranda grinned and scadoodled back to her seat.
