The beginning of term, new faces, old faces, new adventures... yeah Bentley was excited. As she stood in the entrance to Greenhouse Four, she rocked back and forth on the ball of her feet, her hands clasped in front of her.
"Good morning everyone! The lesson will begin shortly, in the meantime please take a seat." She motioned her hands to a few rows of benches that have been placed near the entrance to the greenhouse for the purpose of that lesson.
OOC: The lesson has officially started, DO NOT announce your character arriving from this point onward, as they will be late, and late = trouble. If you haven't done so already then please read through the Herbology Rules and Expectations and the SS Site Rules. All SS Board Rules apply. IC rule breaking will result in IC punishment, OOC rule breaking will result in OOC punishment. Please behave appropriately and most importantly... have fun. If you have any questions don't hesitate to send me a PM.

Minerva moved to the Fanged Geranium Station. She was actually going to have to touch a plants teeth. She felt her skin crawling thinking of it. She really liked Professor Bentley, but some of these plants just made Minerva freak out a bit. These were definitely one of those plants. She reached down to the supplies and found herself a black long tooth brush, which she was surprised looked kind of like hers and then she found the floss. Was that mint she smelled.. hmm guess plants need fresh breath to. That made sense, they wouldn't want to talk to other plants with flesh breath. She looked around making sure she didn't forget something and then walked over to the Fanged Geranium.
Louisa jumped when someone touched her and spoke. VERY NEAR. Or well, nearer than she liked in this kind of place with scary plants scattered around them. Blinking and sighing in relief for the poker was actually a human being with a name close to hers Louisa nodded. "Y-yeah. I kind of.. do." She hazard another look at the plant. "Do you think this can chop off our fingers even if they're sedated?" Because Bentley said they were sedated. Louisa just couldn't grasp the idea of getting near such a thing even if they were dead.
"Not that we have a choice though.." she shot a sharp look in Bentley's direction before looking back at Lewis. "If I get an unwanted haircut, professor green here is getting a bald head too." And now he was Louisa's partner in crime whether he wanted it or not. Yes, she was serious. Her long wavy hair was very precious and Adam would most definitely prefer her with it this way rather than chopped off by a wild plant.
The Ravenclaw grabbed Lewis' arms and started pushing him toward the plant, half-hiding by his side. He was the boy. He should be chivalrous enough to take the first bite. "C'mon, let's do this," she whispered as she continued to push the boy ahead.
Oh. Oops. Lewis blushed a little and bit his lip when she jumped in surprise when he poked her. "S-sorry." Hopefully she wouldn't be mad. Mad enough not to be his partner. Because he REALLY need one for this assignment. Aaaaand just like that, Louisa was his partner. Phew! That hadn't been too hard. Or hang on, she hadn't exactly said yes yet, had she? "Sooo...do you want to partner up?" Just to make sure and all.
He followed her gaze towards the plants again and once again talked before thinking it through. "Yes." They definitely LOOKED like they could bite off their fingers. Even if they were sedated. His eyes back on Louisa next to him, Lewis frowned a little at her next words. Professor Green? "I...I think her name's Bentley." Well, he didn't just THINK that but rather he KNEW that. Unless she got married over the summ- hang on, did she get married over the summer?! Maybe her name WAS Green now.
Before he got to think too much about this, Louisa had suddenly grabbed his arms and started pushing him towards the plant. Whooo had said that he wanted to go first?! "I...err...Louisa?" Lewis stuttered as he stumbled closer and closer towards that scary plant. Why him? At least she was there by his side too...or behind him somewhere actually.
Once they were close enough that if they took another step forward that thing would be able to bite off any vital part of their bodies if it hadn't been sedated, Lewis just stopped moving and instead settled with just staring at the plant cautiously. It wasn't moving. "D-do you think it's safe to get closer?" He whispered - in case the plant had ears and all - glancing at Louisa nervously.

Scanning the area to make sure nobody was lagging behind, Seren then clapped her hands together. "Right class, today, you will be not only brushing, but also flossing your flesh eating plants teeth. They are sedated, so they will not hurt you. Though should they begin to stir then all you need to do is say my name." And she would be there... obviously.
"First, second and third years, you will be working on the fanged geraniums. There are enough for each of you to have your own, so you will be working individually. You are free to chat and help each other if necessary." She paused before moving on to the rest of the instructions.
"Fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh years... you will be working in pairs on piranha plants. Though they look scary, they're sedated so you'll be fine," she said patting the head of one affectionately. Yes, they looked scary, but they really were darlings, and they only reached waist height.
"At your work stations you will find the implements necessary to carry out the activity."
"Are there any further questions?"
At your workstations you will find the following items:
OOC: You have 2 days to RP brushing and flossing your plants teeth. 1-3 years you're working individually but may chat/help out ... 4-7 years you are working in PAIRS. If you're having trouble finding a partner please contact me.
To be eligible for full participation marks you must RP this activity in no less than 5 posts PER PERSON. HAVE FUN!
Ohhh so that's what sinew was. Yuck. "Oh okay, thanks Professor." Ella said, giving Professor Bentley a small smile.
The second year listened closely as Professor Bentley revealed that the class would not only be brushing teeth, but flossing them as well. Ella was quite excited. Now she'd know how her dentist felt every time he tended to her teeth, she even had on gloves like he usually did. Cool! It didn't hurt that the flesh eating plants they were working with were sedated. That made the twelve year old feel loads better about the task at hand.
After Professor Bentley had finished giving instructions, Ella approached the workstations, looking for a fanged geranium that she could claim. Finding an open spot, she walked over and observed the plant and its rather large chompers. "My what big teeth you have!" She said, remembering the line from a fairy tale she had read. In her head the plant responded, 'The better to eat you with my dear.' SHIVER. No, this plant was sedated. No need to worry. Now what to start with? Ella glanced down at the toothbrush and floss and tried to think of what her dentist used first. She was pretty sure he always started with the floss. "Alright, floss it is." She said, picking up the floss with her left hand. "Listen geranium, I'm going to give you the best teeth cleaning ever so no funny business, okay?" And with that, it was time to begin.

So, time for work. "I think we should get started... do you want to do the holding or the brushing?" she said, waving the toothbrush as the younger girl. She noticed the worried look, "Don't worry, they're sedated. Besides, they wont bite you unless you ask for it." she added with a cheeky grin. What? She loved flesh eating plants. She thought they were fascinating and beautiful! And undeniably cool!
"I'm Nora," she said with a smile. "Nice to meet you."
When Aurora mentioned something about the holding and the brushing, Nora knew the answer even before the older girl finished her question. "I'll hold it, if you don't mind." Yes, she knew they were sedated, but she was still freaking out. "Maybe then we can switch places and I'll do the flossing?" That seemed reasonable enough, right?
Flossing the teeth of the scary, big-toothed plants? Usually, Selina went along with everything Bentley said. The Professor typically said things and carried out activities that Selina was more than happy to partake in because it was not a dangerous endeavor. This, however, this was something else. It was like Bentley was asking her to walk into the lion's den, pun intended.
Gulping, she piped up, "Anyone need a partner still?"

His name is West? So where's East? Heh. Beezus shook off the ridiculous idea from her mind and nodded at the boy.
"Okay...you do that." Then she turned to Indy because well..she was done talking to the little guy and they were in a lesson so chatting around should be kept to a minimum.

She mused, pointing over to where she had come from. They could be brushy pals, and she'd teach Beezus her song! hehe.
WELL?
What were they waiting for? Can they go now? Because she wanted to play with the Geraniums already and clean their fangs and make it pearly white. "Let's gooooo?" Beezus asked as she tried removing a stray strand of her hair on her face with the back of her hand.
Then she looked at the spot Indy pointed out. "Oh. That seems like a good spot." And there were healthy looking Geraniums there too!

Instead of focusing on him, obviously. West strutted off to see if anyone else needed some of this glove softening stuff for their dragonhide gloves.
Beezus waited until Indy was done talking to the boy, then she grabbed her by the arm and off they went.
Halfway, a thought struck her. West Odessa? Is he somewhat related to Aspen? Hmmm.. oh well, she can go talk to that boy afterwards but now, she had to get to work.

Addie heard someone asking for a partner. It was a Gryffindor, but did that really matter? She walked up to the girl. "Hi! Can I be your partner?" she asked with a cheerful bright smile on her face. Not that she was assured she wouldn't be killed Addie was excited. "I'm Addie Coral," Addie introduced herself quickly.

Okaay. So West had made her gloves nice and flexible now. That could work. But now she needed to go back and super clean her plants teeth. So that she could be awesome, and cool. "Brushaa Brushaa Brushaaa" She sang to herself as she skipped back over to her plant, and picked up the tooth brush. Oh West had been really right. It was much easier to do stuff with more flexible gloves. Perfect. With a smile on her face she began brushing the teeth of the plant, being careful because she didn't want to hurt the plant. Sure the plant wasn't really a human, but she was pretty sure that it had feeling. And its feeling must not have been very nice because it ate flesh! WHich was not good.
Ahh. Brush brush brush. Indy smiled as she did so, swaying to the side a little. She really did enjoy this. Even though it did feel a bit weird to be brushing teeth that weren't her own.

Oh. Oops. Lewis blushed a little and bit his lip when she jumped in surprise when he poked her. "S-sorry." Hopefully she wouldn't be mad. Mad enough not to be his partner.

OKAY, let's get things right. This boy had a lot of things wrong in him but most importantly he didn't get ANY of Louisa's sarcastic comments.
This assignment was not going to go smoothly, the girl knew it even more now.
She stared at him for a few seconds after they'd reached the finger chopping plant. "I know the professor's name. I was mocking her." What? Being a Prefect didn't mean she couldn't be upset at whoever handed them flesh-eating plants as puppies.
"No. I don't think it's safe... which's why I pushed you first." Duuh. She was still partially protecting her body by standing behind him, so she tilted her torso and looked at the waist-high plant. "Maybe we should just start... brushing... its teeth before it woke up?" Pause. "It doesn't even have eyes to know when it's not sedated anymore..." Was it even sedative-ly asleep or just paralyzed?
The girl's eyes glanced around and spotted the big brush and... the flossing CORD they were supposed to use. She happily left Lewis to check on the deadly plant and grabbed the brush. It was settled, he needed to make sure the plant's teeth were always accessible for Louisa to brush them. Because she was not going to touch the plant. Not in this lifetime. Dealing with a non-sarcastic person was hard enough.
When she stood behind Lewis again, her favorite spot today, Louisa prodded him on the shoulder. "Go on, hold its mouth for me." That sounded like a nasty dentist order.

Now this was an interesting question. "Well it depends on the size of the plant. A fanged geranium won't do you much harm, a snargaluff on the other hand ... "
... why were they so scared? Did they not trust her? "Today, no they won't ... though any other day, they also wouldn't, unless you let them. But that would just be silly."
The girl didn't know what sinew was? Interesting. "Sinew is the tough fibrous tissue which connects the meat to the bone. Its sort of white and almost fatty and stringy in appearance."
Seren smiled warmly, this first year was rather on top of things, though it wasn't surprising that he didn't know how to break in his gloves. "General wear and working with them is best as they will become flexible only where you need them to be, but there's an easy way to speed up the process." Summoning a plastic spray bottle from the stores cupboard, she gave the nozzle a sniff before approaching west. "Hold out your hands," she said, spray bottle at the ready.
"Distilled flobberworm mucus... is extremely useful for improving flexibility for gloves, chilled or numbed plants, eliminating the squeak from doors..."
"They will not hurt you," she assured again.
Though apparently that answer wasn't good enough...
"The plants will not hurt you today, they are sedated... so you will be fine, and more to the point I am here." Because she was an expert when it came to flesh eating plants, so if they were going to trust anyone, it would be her.
A direct question... and a great lead in to the activity.
"Yes, that will be a part of today's activity..." Because really if that was all, then it wouldn't be much fun.
Scanning the area to make sure nobody was lagging behind, Seren then clapped her hands together. "Right class, today, you will be not only brushing, but also flossing your flesh eating plants teeth.

Harvey walked over to one of the fanged geraniums and he just looked at it with interest.. see this was why you liked Herbology.. you never got to see anything like this in the muggle world unless it was something like the Venus Fly Trap.. but eveh he had to admit this was WAY cooler than that!.
He then reached under the station and took out the items that were needed to get this task done.. a BLACK toothbrush.. what the geraniums didnt like color?! like maybe red or even a Ravenclaw Blue?! It WAS pink.. and blue or red go good with pink.. he may not be good at fashion but he knew that much..
Ok now to get things started.. toothbrush.. check.. flossing twine.. check.. Fanged Geranium .. check.. Professor Bentley on standby.. check.. Ok everything was there.. all needed to do was to get started.. good thing they were sedated.. or these could do some amount of damage.

Ella was ready to begin flossing her fanged geranium. She had her gloves, the floss, a good set of lungs in case she had to call for Bentley...Yup, she was good to go. Bending down a little so she had a good view of the teeth, all those teeth, she wriggled her nose in disgust. "Wow, you sure have a lot of stuff built up in there, Geranium. No worries, I'll have your pearly whites looking-erm-pearly white in no time!"
Ella began to wind the floss around her two index fingers, watching the geranium out of the corner of her eye. Yup, still sedated. FEW. When she was ready, she slowly moved the floss towards the teeth and gently, very gently, started to floss in between them. "There we go, not so bad, eh?" She wished the plant could respond or wink at her or something. Something to let her know she wasn't hurting it. When the dentist hurt her, he definitely knew it. She continued to floss and as she went along, noticed how very badly this plant's breath smelled. It was dis-gus-ting. Though that's what happens when one doesn't brush. She stopped momentarily to cup her hand over her own mouth and breathed out, sniffing her own breath. Nope, hers was okay. She must be doing a good job on her own brushing. Turning back to the plant, the second year continued to floss, whistling softly to herself.

Jonathan took a deep long breath when Professor Bentley suggested for them to have these plants brushed and flossed. His mind completely went blank. He had these mental images of weird plants just... Okay, that has got to stop, him imagining stuffs. Plants are not that scary, in fact even Professor Bentley says so herself. He stared at the huge plant with its huge teeth.
Her words.... 'you'll be fine' doesn't really help. Of course, he trust the Professor, she's one of the most brilliant people Jonathan knows, it's just that plants were not really Jonathan's forte.
He readied himself once more as he glanced around to find himself a partner. Hopefully, he's not too late in finding one.

Still clueless with most things going on, Xing wanders around to look for a partner as the others seem to be doing so too. His facial expression is innocent. When he sees some students brushing the teeth of plants with sharp teeth however, Xing's eyes widen. His trembling hand points towards a group of students carrying the activity. With that, he starts to panic and searches for a partner quickly before he is left alone to do it all by himself.
Had he ever been so glad to see a guy'cause he'd usually glad to see hot girls. Xing remembers sitting next to him at the Feast after he was sorted. Come to think about it, he doesn't catch his name yet. The younger boy approaches the older, tapping his shoulder once. "Excuse- Me..." he greets politely. "I'm Xing Canterbury. You... I sit next to you during feast. Do you wants to be partner?" the boy goes on ervously before he looks surprised and look back again at the older boy. "I am... Sorry. What is your name?"

Ella was just finishing up the last few teeth on the fanged geranium and was relieved that the flossing had gone so smoothly. The plant didn't so much as stir during the task, making Ella feel much more at ease, though her wand was still pocketed and her voice ready to call the professor if need be. "Alright, Geranium, I think that's it for the floss." She leaned in closer to inspect her work before discarding the floss. Yup, those teeth were definitely starting to look good. And smell good too! There was a hint of mint coming off those teeth and it was quite pleasant indeed. Ella gave herself a mental pat on the back while unwinding the floss from her fingers and setting it down on the table in front of her. Now for the brushing.
The second year wriggled her fingers a bit before picking up the toothbrush and observing it carefully. It didn't look that different from her own toothbrush at home, well except it looked to be much stiffer and a little larger. "This thing is going to do some serious damage." She said before realizing how that sounded. "I don't mean to you, I mean to the dirt that has built up on those teeth!" Yup, that dirt didn't stand a chance.

Heh. Suddenly, she felt like Indy completely forgot about her. Was she really that enthusiastic to make the Germaniums teeth clean that she was even singing and dancing?
Trying to hide a chuckle, Beezus shook her head and proceeded to the Fanged Germanium next to Indy's. And of course, she had the tooth brush and floss with her. Placing her implements on a vacant space next to her Germanium, she started to work.
"OKAY. Fanged Germanium...open up..." she said, nodding and pulling the closed mouth of the plant open. "Come on, now. You're a good little Germanium." Which was really ironic since the Germanium mouth was almost bigger than her head, and that meant the plant could swallow her whole if it wanted to. But she wasn't nervous. Professor Seren was there if she needed any help. Plus, Indy was just next to her.
But it won't really open up.
She crossed her arms and turned to her best friend, "Indy...this Geranium won't open up." Yes, she was complaining and that also meant she needed help.

Wait. Beezus was talking to her plant. Indy just stared at her friend. Beezus was talking to the plant like it was a baby. Plants were not babies. Beezus had gone mental. Indy giggled, shaking her head. "Maybe just stop talking to it like its a baby...?" The plant ate flesh. It wasn't a baby! No way was it a baby at all. Maybe that was why it was not letting Beezus open it up. "I mean its a flesh eating plant. It ain't gonna be a baby." Silly friend. Come on Beezus. You're supposed to be a ravenclaw. Think logical.
And now back to her plant. "Brushaa Brushaa Brushaaaaa" hehe. She was nearly done with the brushing now. She was going at the top set of teeth. Making sure that they were nice and sparkly. Her plant was not going to have nasty teeth. Nope. Her plant had beautiful teeth.

Beezus forehead was pleating now. No Indy. Professor Seren always said that plants were her babies and that they should be treated like babies and ought to be taken good care like little babies. There was even a time last term when the Professor almost got mad at her because she questioned the assignment they were given which was to sing and dance for their plants and even tell it a story.
"I'm still talking to it.." Beezus told Indy, pouting. And when her best friend returned her attention to her plant, she also turned to hers.
"Come on now baby..." Yes, she was calling you baby. So Fanged Germanium, you should feel lucky. "Open up..? And let's brush your teeth? So you can chew properly? And you won't go starving?" She hoped the plant was able to understand and would follow her.
.....................
Then all of a sudden, the plant opened its fanged mouth.
The eaglette nudged Indy, "Seee? It just needed more persuading." Bleeeeh. She was going to talk with plants now, like officially.
OKAY, let's get things right. This boy had a lot of things wrong in him but most importantly he didn't get ANY of Louisa's sarcastic comments.

Ooooh. Mocking her? "W-why?" But it was good to know that the professor hadn't married somebody named Albert Green. That was a relief. Or well, not that he cared too much what Professor Bentley's husband's name was. Not that she had one. As far as he knew anyway. Moooving oooon though, there were more important things to discuss than Professor Bentley's love life.
Like flesh-eating plants that looked really really scary and were way too close to him for his liking. And...hang on, what?! "But...but..." He started to protest before remembering the plant's ears and lowering his voice again while turning a little to be able to stare at Louisa. "B-but...what if..." OMG! She was right. What if it just woke up and they didn't even notice. "O-okay. If it moves then we...dive under the table right away okay?" It couldn't reach under the table right? And it couldn't hop off the table either...right?!
This class was way worse than last term's.
But they had to finish this assignment. Before he got the chance to say anything though, Louisa had dashed off and had left him blinking at thin air for a moment. Where had she gone off t- OH! There she was. With a toothbrush. A BIG toothbrush. Right, because they had to brush that thing's teeth. Oh, this was going to be hell. Why had he taken this class again?
Even though he KNEW it could have only been Louisa, Lewis still jumped a little bit when she poked his shoulder. "But...but...why me?" Couldn't he do the teeth cleaning and she did the touching-the-plant part? But something told him that she wasn't one to argue with so in the end he closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. He could do this. Nothing was going to happen. He could do this. Nothing was going to happen. He could do this.
Feeling extremely brave all of a sudden with that mantra going through his head, Lewis took a small step forward and reached for the plant's...head. Okay. There. He had touched it. Nothing had happened. After waiting a couple of seconds he moved his hands a little so he was able to slowly open the plant's mouth to reveal its teeth. Which looked very...scary. And like they could easily chew his hand off.

Sarah could see the excitement in the air. She was finally into the senior category. The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh. Woah. And everyone was just pairing up and working. And she stood there, as always, a lone tree. Pfft! Why can't you just ask someone to pair up with you? No. I'm fed up of you.
She accepted defeat and asked loudly. "Is anyone still without partner?" she offered. Better be good.

With that, he starts to panic and searches for a partner quickly before he is left alone to do it all by himself.
Had he ever been so glad to see a guy'cause he'd usually glad to see hot girls. Xing remembers sitting next to him at the Feast after he was sorted. Come to think about it, he doesn't catch his name yet. The younger boy approaches the older, tapping his shoulder once. "Excuse- Me..." he greets politely. "I'm Xing Canterbury. You... I sit next to you during feast. Do you wants to be partner?" the boy goes on ervously before he looks surprised and look back again at the older boy. "I am... Sorry. What is your name?"
Jonathan stood there with gloves on his hands as he scouted for any people without any partners at all. Everyone seems to be getting at it quickly and having fun. Jonathan looked at the plant and thought that maybe it's not really that harmful as the professor had suggested, right? Looking at it, it doesn't seem like it could eat him alive.... wait! Can these plants eat him alive?
That was a more terrifying thought.
Suddenly someone came up to him. He's beginning to think that he needed the help of the professor to find him a partner. Saved by Xing.... Xing Caterbury. Jonathan gave him a smile as he introduced his name to him. He didn't catch his name during the feast. Jonathan still remembers him though. "I'm Jonathan Kim" he said smiling some more. "And yes, let's be partners" he's very much relieved that he asked to partners.
Problem solved.
Jonathan looked at him and walked closer to the plant "So let get this done" he said handing him the huge brush. yeah, they should start before this thing eats them alive for real.
Addie heard someone asking for a partner. It was a Gryffindor, but did that really matter? She walked up to the girl. "Hi! Can I be your partner?" she asked with a cheerful bright smile on her face. Not that she was assured she wouldn't be killed Addie was excited. "I'm Addie Coral," Addie introduced herself quickly.
A voice called out to Selina, a very distinct, happy voice. As she turned around to see who was the person in question calling her she saw it was a student who she had never seen before in her life. When she suggested they be partners, Selina nodded yes. It was always nice to branch out and work with new people, besides the girl seemed nice, "Yeah sure! My name is Selina, pleasure to meet you Addie."

Minerva walked around the fanged geranium. How on earth was she suppose to open it's mouth. She looked around and saw others putting their hands near it, yes they had gloves, but what if a tooth scratched her nice gloves, they would be ruined. "Harvs, you getting yours opened?" she glanced at her friend who was always next to her in every class. She looked back to her plant and walked up to it. "Okay, Mr. Fangs.. This is how it's going to work, I know your under a spell so you won't bite me, but I would rather not have my gloves scratched either, so please open nicely." she found herself petting the plant almost, trying to reassure it she was not there to harm the weird thing, just to clean it. She moved to its mouth and took a deep breath. Nice and gently she moved the mouth and it opened. Maybe being nice to it helped, or it was drugged from the spell so much that it's mouth muscles moved without meaning. Either way she was happy that it opened for her.

"Whatever you saaaay Beezus..." Indy just shook her head and carried on brushing the teeth of her plant. This was getting a bit old now. When she was older she was totally going to invent something that meant plants could brush there own teeth. Her arm was hurting now. This was not good. It was her wand arm too. She mused, dropping the brush down. Indy was all done with brushing now. It looked good. The teeth was nice and shiny. Perfect. Now Indy could move onto the next bit. Which was flossing. That was going to make her arm hurt even more.
Ahh. Floss. She picked up a bit of the floss, and began flossing at the bottom lower teeth of the plant. "Flossa Flossa Flossaa." Yup. She could totally like make a new song up to go with this bit too. See. Indy was just too cool.

But we want to say. Before we drop the curtain. Nothing is for sure. Nothing is for certain
"Oh many times, it comes with the job." So yeah, she was used to it.
Now this was an interesting question. "Well it depends on the size of the plant. A fanged geranium won't do you much harm, a snargaluff on the other hand ... "
... why were they so scared? Did they not trust her? "Today, no they won't ... though any other day, they also wouldn't, unless you let them. But that would just be silly."
The girl didn't know what sinew was? Interesting. "Sinew is the tough fibrous tissue which connects the meat to the bone. Its sort of white and almost fatty and stringy in appearance."
Seren smiled warmly, this first year was rather on top of things, though it wasn't surprising that he didn't know how to break in his gloves. "General wear and working with them is best as they will become flexible only where you need them to be, but there's an easy way to speed up the process." Summoning a plastic spray bottle from the stores cupboard, she gave the nozzle a sniff before approaching west. "Hold out your hands," she said, spray bottle at the ready.
"Distilled flobberworm mucus... is extremely useful for improving flexibility for gloves, chilled or numbed plants, eliminating the squeak from doors..."
"They will not hurt you," she assured again.
Though apparently that answer wasn't good enough...
"The plants will not hurt you today, they are sedated... so you will be fine, and more to the point I am here." Because she was an expert when it came to flesh eating plants, so if they were going to trust anyone, it would be her.
A direct question... and a great lead in to the activity.
"Yes, that will be a part of today's activity..." Because really if that was all, then it wouldn't be much fun.
Scanning the area to make sure nobody was lagging behind, Seren then clapped her hands together. "Right class, today, you will be not only brushing, but also flossing your flesh eating plants teeth. They are sedated, so they will not hurt you. Though should they begin to stir then all you need to do is say my name." And she would be there... obviously.
"First, second and third years, you will be working on the fanged geraniums. There are enough for each of you to have your own, so you will be working individually. You are free to chat and help each other if necessary." She paused before moving on to the rest of the instructions.
"Fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh years... you will be working in pairs on piranha plants. Though they look scary, they're sedated so you'll be fine," she said patting the head of one affectionately. Yes, they looked scary, but they really were darlings, and they only reached waist height.
"At your work stations you will find the implements necessary to carry out the activity."
"Are there any further questions?"
At your workstations you will find the following items:
OOC: You have 2 days to RP brushing and flossing your plants teeth. 1-3 years you're working individually but may chat/help out ... 4-7 years you are working in PAIRS. If you're having trouble finding a partner please contact me.
To be eligible for full participation marks you must RP this activity in no less than 5 posts PER PERSON. HAVE FUN!
If they were sedated then why couldn't she brush the teeth of the Piranha plant? Jezzabelle gave a slight frown as she moved to a station with a Fanged Geranium. She easily found the tooth brush and the flossing twine and still she frowned. Why was it that the fourth year students and up seemed to be having all the fun lately?
They got to make brooms sweep on their own while she had to fold clothing and now they were going to get to brush the teeth of a Piranha Plant while she played it safe with a Fanged Geranium, not that messing around with flesh eating plants was ever safe. Still, she would much rather be working on one of those.
She shuffled around slightly from foot to foot and then finally decided she needed to see what she would be working with for the day. How bad were the teeth that she would be scrubbing? As she opened the plants mouth she frowned at the mess and bits of things stuck here and there. It was going to take some effort when it came time to floss. "Well, here goes nothing."
