The small table with the lint roller and sign informing you that it is not to be used on your hair has been moved from outside of the Astronomy classroom to outside of the Astrophysics Laboratory. The use of it, or rolling eyes at it, should be second nature by now...but as you step inside the laboratory and grab your lab coat with your NASA name tag on it from the hanger to the right of the door...you may find yourself wondering if you are in the correct location.

The cushioned stools and tables with microscopes and other equipment are as they always have been, with the addition of Bunsen burners at each station and four strange looking packs set out in front of the burners.

But that is not all that is a bit strange. In the front of the laboratory, where the professor's desk usually is, are several large wooden stands filled with all sorts of produce and meats. There are mouthwatering fruits, tantalizing vegetables, and succulent looking raw meats and seafood just waiting to be eaten. Not to worry, there are charms in place to ensure that nothing spoils! However, the blackboard to the left of the stands states very clearly DO NOT TOUCH OR EAT ANYTHING - which must surely upset your grumbling tummy.

Perhaps the strangest of all is the fact that Professor Flamsteed is no where to be seen. Hmm...guess you better find a seat and wait for class to start then?

⌦Lesson Progression
▸ question 1 :: Why is February 20, 1947 a significant date?
▸ question 2 :: Why was the first space food put in toothpaste tube-like containers?
▸ mini activity :: er...faith, trust, and pixie dust? o.o Time to "fly" and have a bite to eat.
▸ activity :: purée food war!
▸ activity :: UPDATE! 24 hour warning...approximately

OOC: Please be sure you are familiar with Professor Flamsteed's rules BEFORE you post in this lesson. We will know if you haven't read them! All SnitchSeeker site rules apply.

Oh! That's right! She was supposed to throw that... whatever that was at someone.

Well, where was the fun in that? Most of the Ravenclaws she could throw this at were already gone. There was really no one important enough to annoy her. Though, Scabior and Toussaint were really close to that. Mostly Scabior. But she wasn't in the mood for aiming or doing anything.

At this point, Lotus Acacia Wisteria, summoned a couple fruits and successfully performed the spell on them. "Francesco," was said a couple of times, and now she was left with something that seemed to be mashed fruits and vegetables that had no purpose in life except to dirty up the laboratory.

OH MY GOD.

What was Airey going to do when he sees the state his lab is in?? Surely, SURELY, the elves will get this entire lab all fixed up before anyone could tell the Professor about it. So, he'll never find out. Well, that was good! However, Lottie took her bag and searched for something Fuller had given them (because her camera still worked perfectly) and was careful enough not to get hit with anything as she took a photo of everything that was happening before sitting under the desk again.

"Depulso!" was cast at the fruits and veggie mix, and she watched it fly wherever before tending to her photo. Technically, she could so do this, she was a yearbook person. Only the picture will be seen by Fuller.

The picture was developed alright, and the focus was excellent, now all she needed was to animate it and see how it turned out. Wand in hand (always), she tapped it against the developed picture and said a very clear, "Alacer!" before watching as it slowly acquired movement. AHA! A moving picture of the Astronomy food fight sponsored by Hook and Peter Pan. The picture was placed in her bag, for protection of course. So was the camera.

This wasn't so bad, after all.

And right as she was about to gather her things because the class was running out of time, she felt something on hit her arm and she gasped, entirely surprised someone was actually able to a) hit her and b) get away with it, because she had no idea where that came from!

HONESTLY! She will be removing this immediately. And probably grabbing a fruit or something to throw at someone, just because.

Good Merlin. All things mush were flying above, across his face, and some of its stray remnants ended up sticking to his lab coat, and hair. Maybe he even got some banana chunks underneath his school shirt because, CHAOS. The bright side to it though, was the fact that he could spend a good amount of time in the Prefect’s Bathroom after this chaos. Ducking, swerving, and covering his face from the flying food, he found his way near Tobias and Sophie. At that point, he was beyond lost because…say what? Mutiny? Against the professor?

Ethan was able to assess the whole situation from where he was standing. The classroom was literally turned upside-down. Tables were over-turned, and Merlin forbid…broken and shattered astronomical equipment on the floor. IF this was the normal Flamsteed, he would have ducked a million points from each and every one of them for creating such mess AND destroying HIS laboratory. Were they even aware that the damages incurred inside that classroom will be shouldered by their parents next term? Not that galleons were a problem to the boy, but STILL! As soon as the prefect heard Sophie shout something about getting a professor, it dawned on him that what was going on ISN’T a play. The present day was too early as well as too late for an April Fool’s. Then there was Tobias shouting Mutiny. That was the go signal, yes? For the sake of fun learning or otherwise, Flamsteed has gone OVERBOARD. He…must be stopped.

“Francesco!” The raw meat turned into a half pureed mush of animal protein as he inched closer to Sophie. Where IS Dante? Merlin help that punk. Without uttering a word to anyone, he decided that he will get help. His first choice of course was Culloden, but Ethan doubted that the man would be busy in his office way down in the dungeons. Second choice was Botros, but…old man is old. Well? He was obviously wasting time right now, so without further ado…“DEPULSO!”

FLICK!

He didn’t need to see if the food had hit Hooksteed square in the face or not, because he’s got to get help pronto. Ducking, running, and sliding, Ethan made his way out of the Astronomy Pandemonium…

Hera · 10-07-2014, 08:56 AM

This was, AWESOME fun. And he could imagine this happening in space.. okay, not so much the food fighting and Hook vs Pan thing, but definitely the whole food flying/floating around.

Feeling something collide with his back, Zeke turned to see what had happened or who had thrown what at him. There was definitely something wet and pureeISH stuck to him, as for WHO did it, he couldn't tell. But he didn't care.

A little mess wasn't going to deter him from achieving glory for the GryffinClaws!

With the food scraps on the floor, Zeke gathered them into his hand and altered their state. "Francesco!" Hehehe... it sounded like a name. The mush from his hand, and whatever he was able to scrape from his back was asking to be sent in someone's direction.

With an almighty "AARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he thrust the mush from his hands to a figure in green. Take that Snakey! Heheheheheehheeh.

SPOILER!!: Ethan

Jasmine was finally getting into this food fight thing, sort of. Throwing food was always good for stress relief or anger relief or whatever. She had been successful at hitting her targets thus far and was focused on her next one. All of a sudden, when she least expected it.....SPLAT. Looking herself over, Jasmine saw a huge spot of red. Tomatoes. She had to admit it was a good choice.

Who was the perpetrator? Jasmine looked around until she got her answer. Ethan. Time to get back at her fellow prefect. Grabbing a couple of potatoes, Jasmine said, "Francesco". Ahhhh mashed potatoes, nice and gloppy. They were just the way she wanted them to be. They should stick nicely. Waiting until Ethan had moved onto other things and had probably forgotten about her, Jasmine was ready to make her move. Wait was he heading away from the madness? She had to move fast. "Depulso". Hitting a moving target wasn't easy, but Jasmine tried her best. Not waiting to see where her potatoes landed, she looked for her next target.

Ginevra · 10-07-2014, 10:43 AM

Samantha pointed the wand at herself and said, "Scourgify!" Now the pureed broccoli was removed from her uniform. She pointed her wand at the table and summoned a large piece of broccoli. She pointed her wand at it and said, "Francesco!" as it turned into mush. Samantha then used a sweeping motion of her wand and said, "Depulso!" Hopefully, it would hit the student that had hit her.

In all the sudden action that was taking place she almost didn't notice the little Slytherin walking over to her desk. Good thing she'd waited until after the rock throwing otherwise you never know and no amount of lies would be able to cover up for Airey when this stuff got out. How many people would believe the Fairytale book made him do it?--Well everyone in the school would believe but outside....not so much. Hogwarts madness was real. This one peaked her attention with talk of a book. "Yeah, I did. What of it?" Was she appalled by the fact Lex would be burning books? Well that was just too bad for her green little behind now wasn't it?

Eyes back on the class.

It was the strangest thing but when you forgot that this was all one big ball of chaos, the little pockets were actually kind of interesting. 'Pan' and...er 'Aladdin' were they? Whoever. They decided to join forces. Something you didn't see in the books and Zeke was talking about war which got the Professor's approval immediately.

Alright, she was game. It didn't beat Astronomy but it beat learning and all the complicated terms she had no interest in so FOOD FIGHTTTTTT!!!

Lex whipped out the Professor's half polished wand and aimed at an apple. "Francesco!" Getting it all to mu--THWACK! Mush right to ear and that entire half of her face. Whipping around quick enough she caught Kace's wand still aimed before he could put it down and knew her puff target. "Depulso!" She might have used her hands but this way she could pretend she was directly firing at people. That made things all the more interesting. Lottie got no attacks, she was not a Hufflepuff and therefore on Lex's side by all technicalities.

The girl before her (Hady) was not so lucky. Lex raised her wand and with a cast of "Francesco!" had a little food mush. No wand list time, she simply picked it up and flicked it at the girl with a grin. A late welcome to her desk if you will.

Hady blinked up at the older girl opening her mouth to answer her. Before she could even get just one word out however she was smacked right in the face with mushed food! Eww! Wrinkling her nose slightly she brought her hand up and wiped the food from her face flicking the bits onto the floor. What the heck was that for?

It was in that moment that the small girl noticed the sheer chaos around her in the room. Everyone was screaming and throwing food around?! At the orders of Professor Hook none-the-less. With the question to Alexa forgotten the small snake made her way back to her desk and grabbed up an apple pointing her wand at it. "Francesco!" She called out clearly watching as it turned to mush before her.

Picking it up with her hand she flung the contents at the nearest Ravenclaw seeking victory for her team. Sure she wasn't to thrilled with the food in her hair but hey whatever she'd worry about it all later.

Hera · 10-07-2014, 12:11 PM

SPOILER!!: Hady

By this point, his hands were COVERED in puree, as was most of HIM. His robes, his hair, his leg, his arm... yeah, he was rather tasty if you asked him. He spared a lick of a finger or two where pureed banana still clung to him. It was decent. He couldn't imagine eating much for every long though, he'd go INSANE with nothing to crunch on.

Figuring he'd get rid of the puree from his hands, he looked for a victim to wipe them on... and he found one. Hehehehehe. She'd saved him from the bouncing bulbs, but she was still the enemy as far as this food fight was concerned - and he would show no mercy.

Through the chaos, Zeke quickly closed the distance between them, rushing up behind her. And QUICKLY he wiped his hands down her back. "Gotcha!" he teased. Heheh. "Hi."

Kolyander · 10-07-2014, 12:40 PM

No sooner had the mushed apple let her hand that she'd felt hands on her back. Twisting around she spotted Zeke with a call of 'Gotcha'. Glancing at the back of her robes the best she could she saw what he'd done and couldn't help but laugh a little. It was all in good fun.

"Hi." She replied sweetly. Waving her wand with a quiet murmured spell to bring a piece of fruit to her. "I'm gonna get you back Zeke." Hady stated calmly not letting on if she'd meant now during the food fight or maybe some other time when the boy least expected it.

Hera · 10-07-2014, 12:52 PM

Oh good!!!! She didn't look mad!!! HAHAHA, that was a bonus right? Right? He beamed back at her, watching as she summoned some fruit. Heh. Whoooops? He was in for it now, wasn't he?

"Knock yourself out!" She was welcome to get revenge, that was the beauty of this lesson. There was so much FUN to be had, and he was already super fruity that it wouldn't matter what she did to him. "Of course, I don't mean literally." No LITERALLY knocking herself out, and that was a real possibility under these conditions. Fruit and vegetables flying places, most pureed, but he was sure he'd seen some solid ones too.

"Having fun?" he asked, all the while summoning his own food item, a potato this time.

Expecto-Penguin · 10-07-2014, 01:58 PM

SPOILER!!: Clara getting Hit XD

As Kace was looking for a target, he noticed he got a direct hit. He saw Clara the claw get hit in the hip. He smiled and jumped up and down. Wrong move Kace, you might get noticed. He laughed and felt bad she got hurt. He hoped she was okay. "CLARA YOU OKAY!?" he called out from the battle field. He didn't want anyone injured.

SPOILER!!: Hit by Jasmine!

As he was calling out to Clara, he noticed bananas coming towards him. He stood there wide eyed and turned his head just in time but.....

SPLATTTTT!!!!!!

The bananas hit him right in the back. He looked to see who hit him and it was Jasmine. Well played ravenclaw....well played. He was glad it got on his back then his face with the tomatoes. Alright time to find his next victim. He wondered who it could be. He wanted to go for a Lion since he already got Puck. He chuckled evilly to himself. But he saw Zander and it was perfect. He got some mushed apples and got his wand out and aimed for him. He said the incantation, "Francesco!" and waited to see if it hit the lion!

The wand.

He thought she was giving it back? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one

She wouldn't be able to aim at people if she gave it back and he'd actually be able to hurt others so the Gryffindor did the next best thing, she conjured a shiny metal rod. Might hurt like Merlin knows what if it smacked someone but no permanent damage; it didn't have that much weight.

"Yer new shiny sword, Cap'n, polished with the sweat 'a yer enemies!" Always the helpful Smee, see?

Still wiping mush off of his face with his sleeve, he stomped over to New Smee and would have snatched it from her were it not for the fact that it was completely and utterly WRONG. Not just wrong. A LIE.

"What kind of man do you take me for, New Smee? Dost thou think that I cannot see what is before me? Or perhaps thou thinks that I do not know my own weapon like the back of my hand?" he said with an unamused smile as a glob of banana goo fell right off the tip of his nose and on to his shoe. "DO NOT TAKE ME FOR A FOOL NEW SM-----"

She shuffled over to Toby and other people, and muttered out of the side of her mouth, "WhatarewedoingandcanIhelp?"

*SPLAT*

He was caught in mid-sentence as more goo smacked into him. HIS NEW CREW WAS WORTHLESS. WORTHLESS!

Where was that one Lost Boy. The one who was always in good form. Perhaps the man could use him as a shield...

SPOILER!!: TOBY & SOPHIE & ETHAN!

Toby was a kid that could EASILY DEAL with fast-paced, chaotic environments, but this was just making his head SPIN. But he was visibly very calm, which was strange considering his usual not-calm demeanor. Still, his thoughts were all over the place. Though... he managed a little smile at Red when he caught her eye, because his manners still went that far. Oh, and Marigold was here too, MORE PEOPLE. GOOD.

"We're all good," Toby nodded to Gabe's question, glancing around at everyone and feeling pretty confident in his assessment. And Gabe sounded a little less than okay. Shaky voice and all. "I think it's best if we provide a distraction, everyone aiming for Airey, and then whoever wants to go, just run for it, yeah? And maybe get... someone." Like Truebridge, or the Healer, or Romanos, 'cause the latter seemed friendly with Airey. "The door's open, so whoever wants to run-" glances at Kyroh and Maddie in particular there "-should make a break for it as soon as we go for Airey. And then... maybe a second wave. If we provoke him enough to chase us, one of us can lead him to the cupboard and lock him in. We need to get that Peter kid to help if we can. Hoo-... Airey seems obsessed with him."

Right, so now they just had t- KYROH NO!

Toby watched with WIDE EYES as the second year Ravenclaw jumped up and went straight on the offensive. WELL. That was one way of getting started.

But that Thornton kid was... protecting Hook? (And using MAGIC quite well, which was ENCOURAGING and something Toby would have pointed out, if not for the situation.) Toby... could sort of maybe understand the motivations there, but Hook... was out of control. They needed to gET HIM INTO THE BOO BOX.

"Charge or run, guys. He can't get all of us." Or... y'know, they could stay back and fire from here, in case theat wasn't true. "Here goes, I guess..." Their cover was sort of blown by now anyway.

Without further ado, Toby darted out from under the desk and headed for Kyroh and Hook. As he charged (and skidded a little in the mess that was the classroom floor) he pointed his wand at the large potato in his hand and turned it to a large dollop of mush, before launching it STRAIGHT at Hooksteed's face and stepping in front of Kyroh so he was between the two, looking much more confident about this spur-of-the-moment idea than he felt. Already he was getting an apple out his pocket, ready to turn it to mush to throw again. He was incredibly hesitant about using any other magic; this was STILL a teacher, after all. Deep down. Very... very deep down.

"Mutiny!" Would Airey run at him? Could Toby lead him to the cupboard? ... Probably no, he seemed to be pretty unpredictable, this Hook guy, but Toby would never have let Kyroh face him alone. Protector urges, y'know. "Down with Hook!"

Might want to start running soon, Ky. Please. We like our Ravenclaws alive.

She felt a splat! of something hit her lab coat (thanks, Ethan), but she didn't bother to see where it came from - she was huddled in a group of people, so of course they were easy targets. Tobes was talking hurriedly again, so Soph paid close attention to their attack plan and stole one of his apples to pocket it, when-

Hooksteed was ordering Dot to... CAPTURE her?

................

Soph LAUGHED aloud at that, obviously finding that very, very amusing, and pointed a finger at Hook, giving Dot a he's so funny, isn't he? look. Because he WAS. Hilarious. Dot wouldn't touch Sophie - they were potions buddies - so Soph didn't even worry about it.

...She WAS a little worried about the fact that LEX just gave HOOK a metal rod though. WHY WAS SHE ENCOURAGING THAT? Was she back to being her Mistress of Evil self?! Aaaaaaaaand TOBES WAS CHARGING HOOK. MER-LIN. "Someone get a professor, a proper one!" she told the mutinous group, giving CB an encouraging nudge before pulling the lab coat off her head, hopping up, and charging after the Hufflepuff, finally launching the pureed carrot in her hand also at Hooksteed's face.

Aaaaaaaaaand, though she stopped in the middle of the room before getting to Hook, she promptly pulled the stolen apple from her pocket, jabbing a quick, "Francesco," at it, and launched THAT at him, TOO, within seconds. MORE DISTRACTION. But... probably... not necessarily the best idea if Tobes was trying to lure him. BUT SHE COULD RUN FOR THE CUPBOARD, TOO, IF PURSUED.

He hadn't been able to see where these attacks come from seeing as he was still dealing with the previous, so the man was standing in place cursing at the sorry excuse for breathing matter that was his newly recruited crew when he caught one of the Lost Children (Felixir!) making a run for it. Although, to be entirely fair, it had been the shouting that had drawn the Captain's attention. Eyes ablaze once again, he raised his hook high into the air and bellowed his war cry before taking off at full speed after him.

It would be in bad form for him to chase after the Lost Girl.

And the man WAS surprisingly fast. Running too fast to be able to stop running without crashing into a wall...

OOC: I will be out all day and therefor not around to post. So I give permission for moderate godmoding of Professor Hooksteed should it become necessary so you guys don't need to wait for me. Use your good judgement on what this means

I will close the thread in approximately 24 hours for the time of this post.

Reaching for the last apple that had fallen, the Gryffindor held out his arms and starting piling everything up again. After getting his stack ready, he slowly stood up. CAREFUL! Didn't need everything to go flying around again because that was not fun to pick up. And just as he got back onto his feet--

SPLAT!!!!

And down he went again. And so did the fruit. And so did the veggies.

Okay, so much for ammunition, he just needed to get out of this warzone AND quickly too! So naturally, the Gryffindor did the only thing he could do: Run!! He would've started throwing stuff for revenge, but quite frankly, he hadn't had the chance to get any fruit since he was attacked so often. AND there was still banana mush in his eyes at the time of the second attack so he didn't really see a clear view of who had hit him.

It was a sad, sad day to be Zander Adair. And this was going to take a lot of rinsing off.

hermionesclone · 10-07-2014, 04:51 PM

Heh. Interesting group. Mainly Ravenclaws, he noticed. Were they THAT eager to get out of here or were they simply eager enough to want to shove Flamsteed into the boo box? Not that he was complaining since they weren't bad people. At least, Sophie and Kyroh and the girl he'd seen Simon hanging around with once or twice weren't. Maddie was a different story and then there was..........

.......... Okay, seriously? He understood why the likes of Maddie or Caleb would give him glares and whatnot but why was Mr Four Eyes giving him those kind of looks? JEEZ.

Before he could do much more than raise his eyebrows at the Ravenclaw, Toby was speaking and so, Grayson turned his attention over towards him instead. Important things were being discussed and, of course, this was NO time for some stupid beha--

....................... WHAT IN THE NAME OF MERLIN WAS KYROH DOING?!

Eyes wide, Grayson stared over at the young Ravenclaw. In any other situation, he would have found this hilarious and would have encouraged the kid onwards but this was WAR. A REVOLUTION. SURELY, the kid hadn't just gone ahead and PUT HIMSELF in the firing line?

Apparently he had because there was some other Ravenclaw kid acting like a miniature knight in shining armour by putting up a shield to protect the loony Professor. Wasn't that a Gryffindor's job?

Charge or run? WELL. THIS Slytherin didn't need to be told twice. Getting up from his spot under the desk and channelling the rage of a thousand punk rockers, Grayson CHARGED OVER TOWARDS THE ASTRONOMY PROFESSOR. Or in that direction. And he was gonna get a tomato on his way as his weapon of choice. "Francesco!" he called, turning the tomato into a purée. He was not too fussed over where it went as long as Flamsteed got hit with some of this mushy stuff.

'Down with Hook!'

And there was firing. And a Professor getting HIT. SWEET.

But......... RUN TOBIAS RUN.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" he growled loudly, throwing the puree right at Flamsteed in an attempt to distract him. Or make him even angrier. You know, whatever worked.

DaniDiNardo · 10-07-2014, 05:20 PM

SPOILER!!: Zeke

Second mate? First Mate? Mini Smee? These words should have been making more sense to her but not when they were in the middle of a war, one they might have been losing with so many people aiming at the Captain. Shame that. If he used a nicer tone she might have been inclined to help better. A large slop of Merlin knows what was headed right at her and the girl swerved like it might have been acidic before nodding toward Lottie. "She's my First Mate in any case but yeah, you can be Second, or a Mini me, whichever floats your boat."

And had he just hit Lottie? "None a that. This one's not a Puffer, she's one of us!" For future reference though seeing as he'd kinda run off with the Slytherin she'd just smacked with some bananas.

Wasn't war beautiful when you used food?

SPOILER!!: Cap'n!

It could have worked until he stormed right over, covered in goo the way he was. Sure he might have looked cross but that was his own fault. No one told him to start a food war and include himself, that was a recipe for a right 'ole mess and poor Airey would flip when he finally came to.

Lex weighed the option of convincing him metal was better for having people walk the plank than wood but it wasn't needed because he was off in seconds and the wand was still in her possession. GOOD. Merlin knows he'd have had to wrestle her to the ground and possibly tied her to a plank before she'd give him his wand back. It just...wasn't a good idea you know? She might not have taken her role as Head Girl seriously but she took it seriously enough to know it'd endanger everyone and she was meant to prevent that.

Now with him out of her hair, she could get back to the fun matter at hand. Lex got herself another apple and smushed it nicely with a quick "Francesco!" That's when she saw Grayson aiming at the Cap'n.

"Arrrrrgghh, that's mutiny where I come from!" She said, trying to muster her best pirate speech without bursting into a laugh. "Depulso!" And the mush went flying.

Brilliant.

AmbiguouslyMe · 10-07-2014, 05:29 PM

Wiping... was that banana?... from his eyes, Thornton looked up to realize that not only had a full on mushed-food assault been begun against Flamsteed, but the pirate-possessed man had risen to the agitation and was now chasing Tobius, hook raised.

"AAAUUUGHHH," Thornton screamed, frustratedly. "What is WRONG with you people."

Shielding his face with his arms, he hurriedly, raced to the edge of the room, and then began to make his way along the wall to the door. If no one here could be persuaded to be a reasonable human being, he would go find someone who could.

Or could at least deal with what was happening. With a silent prayer that no one be impaled or maimed while he was gone, he slipped out the door in search of help, as a rogue blob of potato slammed him in the back.

Felixir · 10-07-2014, 05:46 PM

"Francesco!" Toby cast at whatever food he had in his hand now. And... just in time too, because Soph and Ethan and Grayson had joined the fray, and the onslaught was happening. Toby had JUST ENOUGH TIME to see what definitely looked like FURY in Hooksteed's eyes before he RAN STRAIGHT AT TOBY.

OKAY.

RIGHT.

GAME ON.

Uhhhhhhhhh... Airey was FAST. Toby, fortunately, had built up some good reflexes in all his time playing Quidditch and quickly darted away, skidding on the icky mushy gross gross GROSS FLOOR. He grabbed a desk with his CLEAN HAND to steady him, glanced around to see Hook crashing into the wall, and wasted no time provoking him again, and throwing the MUSH RIGHT AT HIM.

"Come and get me, codfish!" Toby exclaimed, using that one thing that seemed to inspire a reaction when Soph said it earlier. His voice was kinda shaky and uncertain now too... but could you BLAME HIM?

And then he was OFF. Running STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE BOO BOX. As Hooksteed crashed around behind him Toby felt his heart beating FAST somewhere in the region of his adam's apple. Hooksteed was frightfully fast but he was a lot bigger, and hopefully being smaller and agile, and very speedy himself, meant that Toby could avoid that Hook if he needed to.

He thought about getting more food from his pocket to throw but decided... no. Just... just run. Get him in the box.

Okay. So Hooksteed was running after Toby, who seemed like he was trying to lure the Hook captain dude into the Boo Box. Good idea, Toby. Marigold took another piece of fruit, then "Francesco,"ed it until turned into a mush. She chucked it halfheartedly at Hook, but missed and hit a Ravenclaw instead. Whyyyyyyyy.

"If I knock myself out it'll be you bringing me to the healer!" Hady joked with a giggle. Waving her wand at the pear on her table turning it to mush with a call of "Francesco!" Scooping it into her hand she sent the mushed food flying at the nearest Gryffindor/Ravenclaw.

Was she having fun? Yeah sort of. None of this really made any sense but at least they weren't stuck in chairs taking a million notes. So Hady nodded her head in reply to Zeke's question. "Yes, I suppose I am. Are you?" She glanced over to the side at him as she spoke.

The door. She heard the door. Someone else had successfully gone out, and nothing was done about it. Meaning that it was time for her to move as well. AND THEN...

THEN her bestie said 'first mate', well, THANK YOU. It was nice someone considered her a first mate in this whole scenario, even if she's done literally nothing to help either team in this... whatever this was. She was pretty sure it was every man after himself at this point.

BEAMING, she did nothing to correct her words. True, she was not a Hufflepuff, but she wasn't with them either. "Exactly!" she said, while grabbing a peach and tapping it with her wand, "Francesco!" Why was she turning the food into mashed fruit now? Because she saw WHO was the one to hit her thanks to Lex. And the former peach was going to hit the boy somehow.

Except... the camera was taken out again, because it was rather amusing to see Flamsteed go after Tobias and then Grayson taking part of it, and you know what? A picture was taken of that. Wasn't Fuller close to Tobias? Surely he'd love to see how he behaves in other lessons, no?

Tap. "Alacer!" Fully moving picture developed. The camera and the picture went to her bad. The peach forgotten somewhere.

Yeah, you know, this was actually fun. Taking action shots. Let's forget for a moment that this is supposed to be Astronomy and that the Professor is probably possessed and that she may not have a proper recommendation letter at the moment, and then it was fun.

WELL.

Maddie's eyes widened when Kyroh decided that HE would be the distraction that started all things, no discussion needed. Probably wasn't the wisest of choices but the thirteen year old admired his gusto, she guessed. His spell too. Too bad Ascanius wasn't here to witness water-making spell in person. Too bad indeed.

Tobias Tempus had given them two options. Charge or run. Maddie thought her third was to continue staying where she was but that meant a possible knocked over desk given the chaos going on and she didn't fancy being squished or stomped. So as she watched Captain Crazy turn his attention to the Hufflepuff, Maddie took off for the wall. She ducked as much of the mush as she could but it didn't stop all of it. She DID get struck with some rogue who KNEW what but that didn't slow her down.

Skirting the wall, she made her way towards the door with the intention of getting out.

ETHAN had joined their ranks! Soph noticed him right after she let her pureed apple fly and it hit Hooksteed at the same time as Ethan's pureed meat. She gave him a grin of approval before pointing her wand at the food table and casting, "Accio carrot!" She caught it and quickly murmured, "Francesco," to puree it, when...

Hooksteed was chasing Tobes. With... his hook held high. Threateningly.

Oh, no.

She launched the glob of carrot at Hooksteed in a moment of panic, her aim surprisingly still well-managed - she thanked her Chasing days for that - and summoned three more vegetables as she looked on with big eyes. Hook... wouldn't... actually HURT Tobes, would he? He wouldn't USE the hook against him in a... scary, messy way?

Her expression mellow, Soph cast, "Francesco," on one of the vegetables as it came to her and launched it at Hooksteed again without hesitation, hoping to at least slow the man DOWN so Tobes could keep a safe distance between himself and the professor.

RUN, TOBES, RUN.

The Professor was mad...

Have the class was mad...

Seriously what was going on in the school at the minute, all that Angel wanted to do now was to hide from everyone including her sister.

"Francesco!" Angel really wanted to try this out and she hoped that everything was going to be great with the spell... she might hate what was going on but it is amazing. "Francesco!" Angel used her wand but nothing happened.

"Francesco!" Angel hoped that something was going to happen when she did the wand movement. "Francesco!" Angel did the wand movement and then suddenly she had an item that she could throw at someone but she didn't know who because she didn't want to hurt anyone.

His second shot hit Ian as well and the Hufflepuff sought to return fire. However it was if the other fourth year wasn't really into it and the mush was rather easily escable once more. Except this time Angel hadn't fallen victim as well which was an added relief. His target was apparently much more interested in the one on one verbal fight and physical onslaught that AJ was giving him, returning it for a while before practically preaching back to her and those around them.

And then the next moment he was gone.

Stalked out of the classroom and just left. Yep...definitely a coward through and through.

But the action was still continuing in the classroom, students of all four houses now very much involved. Even Flamsteed had reasserted himself with some flag-waving and speaking to the group. And yelling about a SWORD?! Please Lex....he didn't need one. Thankfully when she responded it didn't seem to be with anything too dangerous. Still he'd be thankful the so-called captain was on his side and he could hopefully avoid the crazy.

Which might be easy given he had problems of his own.

Now to keep from being a sitting duck as food mush continued to fly, Benny grabbed a potato to recharge. "Francesco!" he cast after taking a deep breath to calm and focus himself. Anyone up for mashed potatoes? he mused to himself, randomly taking aim at another Hufflepuff.

*Lottiepot* · 10-07-2014, 09:50 PM

NO.

Layla was having NONE of this.

First of all the Professor had bat his eyelashes at her and she had just STARED back at him as he did so. What was WITH him?! She wasn’t calling HIM cute she was calling his ideas cute. Or his thoughts that they were five-years-old or something. But he had retaliated and weirdly the blonde took offense to that. “Are you sayin’ I look old Sir?” Cos you know, you NEVER told a girl that she looked OLD. That was beyond horrifying. Unless she looked eighteen or something and then that wouldn’t be so bad.

And THEN the carnage came. There was food flying about all over the place, students getting locked in cupboards, houses being pitted against one another and Layla was stuck on Professor Bonkers team as well. She didn’t want to be on ANYONES team. And all this food was disgusting and unhealthy and generally urgh.

Could she leave? Like now.

The blonde ran to one side of the classroom and ducked behind a desk as she thought over her plan of action. Bolt for the door? She was definitely fast enough or wait it out until the lesson was over and she could leave in peace.

Or failing that she could always aim for the Professor.

She was kinda up for a mutiny.

oh its Erik ok · 10-07-2014, 10:31 PM

This was absolutely fantastic. It was pure madness and Peter was just laughing and throwing stuff at people. Peter even hit that guy with glasses. Even more hilarious that was. Since he did nothing about it. Totally not Lost Boy material, he was.

Hook was yelling more and Peter was getting more food ready. "Francesco". There now he was ready.

Well now. Asking for him by name. Peter had to show his face now. He was no coward like Hook. Though he still thought Hook was loosing his mind with all these different Mr. Smee's. Which begs the question. Where is the real one.

"I'M RIGHT HERE HOOK."

Peter threw at Hook's face and it was a direct hit. AWESOME. Then Peter walked out to where Hook could see him and just laughed at him.
