Astronomy Lesson 2 :: food in space.............sort of
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.
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
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Adi ignored the low rumble of his stomach. Oh sure. It seemed this term was going to see more of him not eating before classes. Even though this time the students were asked NOT to eat. Hmph.
Erm... This WAS the Astro lab. Right? Adi stared at the food stuff on the stands as he stepped into the room after using the lint roller. Professor Airey was deliberately taunting them by not asking them to eat then producing all this delicious looking stuff. Speaking of the Professor, where was he? He was always there to greet his students.
Shrugging, Adi collected his lab coat with his tag and headed off to grab a seat. Oh look. Zeke. He had no idea why, but he decided to go sit with the little guy. "Hello.'' The Puffer sat in the vacant seat next to him after pulling on his lab coat.

THEN WHY WOULD YOU DISPLAY IT LIKE THAT?!
He waljed to an empty station next to his friend Zander and looked picked up the strange packages to examine them.
Oh and he hadn't even realised that the Professor wasn't there at all. Perks of never greeting them.

She made sure she was completely lint-free before grabbing the lab coat with the most beautiful name on it - hers - and looked around. No professor to be seen, only food. Hogwarts was such a strange place.
None of her actual friends was there yet, so she decided to sit with Zander and the other kid. They were Gryffindors, but so was professor Flamsteed. He was bound to focus on people of that house during his lessosn ad Agatha wanted to make sure he saw her. Not that she needed to use other people to be seen, because she called attention without the help of others, but for some reason she felt like sitting with them.
...Wasn't that the guy who was featured alonside her in the Yearbook? The Slytherin took a good look at him before sitting down next to Zander. "Hi."

The Gryffindor frowned and then narrowed his eyes at her. "What you looking at?!" he demanded as she sat down next to his friend.
Getting to class early was always a bit strange. Especially when you were sitting alone while waiting and just, yeah. So to try to diffuse his awkward sitting there uncomfortable-ness, he took off the lab coat, examined the name tag, and then put it back on again. There. That wasted a solid five minutes. Next, examining the weird space packages? Picking one up, he eyed it closely right before Kevin!walked in. Zander was reeeeaaaaallyyy hoping that the younger lion would sit next to him because merlin, it was getting lonely over here. Kevin got a big smile from Zander because now things wouldn't be as awkward. Yes. Good.
And then, Agatha walked in and Zander was sure that she was going to go sit by some Slyther folk, 'cause they always seemed to travel in packs or something. But instead, she came right up to the Gryffindor Goober Duo and took a seat. Oh. Weird 'cause Zander always got the impression that she didn't like him. "Hi," he replied back just before... Uh oh. Had it been anyone else, Kevin's behavior wouldn't be much of an issue, y'know? But Agatha... Hadn't she started some fight at the Slytherin table last term? Kevin did not need another detention or else he might even go on school probation or something! And Zander couldn't lose his friend to the system! So nope, he had to intervene or something... Or something.
He gave Kevin a look that was supposed to translate as one of them 'hey-be-easy' sort of things and then turned to the girl and then back at Kevin and, "D'you reckon we're going to be eating these?" he motioned towards one of the weird space packages. Distractions were good.

No, this wasn't sarcasm. The astrophysics lab is perfection. Minus the fact that there seemed to be food in it? Wasn't that against the rules, Professor Flamsteed? Hmmmm? Regardless, Lotus went straight to get her lab coat, and cleaned it before wearing it, just because. Just because. Seriously, though, why was there food? The burner on the table look scientific enough for this to be a science class. Sort of. It's like saying Potions wasn't similar to a cooking class, lol. She clearly thought otherwise.
Either way, she joined her bestie, who wasn't in a costume, finally, and looked at the bags on the table. Well, then. This was interesting.
And recognizable, which was even more interesting.
Where was Airey, by the way? It wasn't until now that she failed to notice he wasn't in the lab. Or was doing a very good job at hiding. Had another student slipped a polyjuice potion in his drink?
Clara got straight to the lint rolling once she approached the classroom. She still had the belief that it was there for a reason ... and it wasn't as if it took all that long to use either. Once that was done with that and had picked up her lab coat, she entered the classroom. She was a little anxious to face Flamsteed again because the last time she'd been in lesson she'd be a mess. Nervous eyes darted towards where the Professor was ..... supposed to be and blinked. He wasn't there.
The redhead's shoulder sagged in relief; perhaps she could go through the lesson without being noticed. She took her seat, ignoring the feeling of nerves in the pit of her stomach. It was a lot easier to ignore them now that had been before, she knew more about what to expect and how to deal with it.
Now to wait ... and try and work out why there were stands of food ... but no Professor.
Eden did the lint brush thingy. She rolled it everywhere and just..eyed it as she put it back up. Merlin, this was a lot of work when her robe was just going to be linted up again later. But she was getting used to it by now, and just...slipped into the classroom silently.
She spotted Kevin right off the bat and just...eyed him a little before taking a seat next to MISS Clara. She smirked at her and nudged at her a little. "Hey..." she said softly. She had gone jogging earlier so she hadn't seen Clara yet today. "How's it going?" Hmm?
And she looked around for Professor Flamsteed...he wasn't here. Well wasn't THAT odd? And all this darn FOOD. Her stomach was already drooling--or rather, rumbling--at the sight of it. "Merlin--I'm hungry-" she told Clara, slumping in her desk and eyeing the dried food in front of her. "This looks yummy. I've had astronaut food before--have you?" she asked softly, flipping one of the packets over and licking her lips...maybe she would just..you know...eat it?
But then she might get in trouble...BUT HUNGER?

Maddie was de-linted and quite curious about having class in the lab. She entered the room with a smile, not really paying much attention to those around her. Other things were more interesting, see? Like HER lab coat with HER newly bedazzled Nasa name tag. It looked ten times better now, YES? And it was certainly more fashionable than some of the others.
Once her lab coat was on and the second year had found a seat that would allow Dima and Kyroh to sit by her if they wanted (Dot too, of course), she glanced up towards the front of the room. No Flamsteed but there was food. Displayed in quite a unreasonable way but still. Thought they weren't allowed to have food in here. Hm.
Also, smiles for Jazzy and Eden and none for Grayson Whitlock.

Lint free and ready to learn. AJ had become a pro at rolling herself down in warp speed. They had nice looking white lab coats. The second year found one that had her name attached to it and shrugged it on. All set to greet the professor, only he was nowhere in sight. Hmm. That was odd.
Once she was fully in the classroom, she looked around. The set up was different. Way different. Look at all the food. No touching? Hmpf. What was the point in having it then. It seemed like Airey was into teasing. AJ smiled at all of the members of her group, and chose a seat. What were they going to be doing this lesson?
Looking around the room, it was now that he realised that that the Professor wasn't even in the room with them. Oh..that was strange right? The man was usually already there. But whatever. He turned his attention back to the packages that were in front of him when a girl came up to his and Zander's table. And she was stating at him. The Gryffindor frowned and then narrowed his eyes at her. "What you looking at?!" he demanded as she sat down next to his friend.

Agatha was being polite, even greeting the weirdos and everything, but THAT particular weirdo was looking at her in an odd way and acted really rude out of the blue. Agatha gave him a superior look, almost looking disgusted at his childish behaviour. She was not afraid of ugly faces. "I can look at whatever and whoever I want." She said shortly, already getting annoyed. Who did he think he was to talk to her like that? "Stop with the attitude, you're not a child."
Zander, on the other hand, was acting... like himself, she supposed. As if he had no idea what was going on and talking about the most random things. Morgana, what was wrong with his brain? If they reckoned they'd be eating those? "How am I meant to know?" She snapped, crossing her left leg over the right one and starting to shake her right foot as she crossed her arms over her chest. She will stay like that, not talking much but only glaring at that rude Gryffindor sitting with them every once in a while.
Apparetly she was stuck with an airhead and a rude child. Urgh.

Ophelia walked into class, her blonde hair swaying behind her. It was a good day, was it not? Astronomy was one of her favorite classes so far, and since last lesson had been fun, this lesson should be fun too. Right? Was that how this worked?? The firstie had no idea how any of this worked yet, really.
Food. Was food allowed in the lab? What were they doing with said food? The blonde swore her heart dropped a little when she saw the sign that said DO NOT EAT. Which stunk, because she was a little hungry, but it also meant they were doing something WITH the food, which would be fun. Yay! Two fun lessons! And in a row! This class might soon become her favorite in this place!
After lint rolling herself down methodically --she was watching the older students-- the eleven year old found a lab coat with her name on it. 'Ophie. Quite a nice name, not her full one, but her full one was dumb and not cool. Now the first year felt like a mad scientist! Putting it on, the brown eyed girl went to her seat and smiled. Lab coats and Bunsen burners and food, Oh my!
"Professor? What does food have to do with astronomy? Hello, by the way." Honest questions were honest.

Ian had walked up the steps from the common room to the seventh floor tower and astrophysics lab. He hoped they wouldn't be doing any complex equations. (Ian HATED math and he'd read that physics was largely an exercise in mathematical equations. Not easy ones easier. Math with made up numbers that sort of frightened him. He arrived at the 'new' location and picked up the lint roller and 'cleaned' his clothes of lint properly.
Walking into the lab, he noted the lab coats and looked through the rack to find the one with the name tag from last lesson. Slipping on the white coat, he headed toward the table that had Norah at it. She was there with another girl, appeared to be a Ravenclaw and waited until their conversation had reached a pause. He tapped Norah on the shoulder and asked, Mind if I join the two of you at this table. This isn't my favorite class and I hate to burden people I've never met with my ignorance. Granted, it may have been a bit too much information that might cost him a table spot with someone he knew, he waited for a response. As he did, he looked around and noticed there was no professor about. That was odd...especially since the professor liked to ensure they were sufficiently de-linted upon entry into the space.

Jasmine arrived at the Astrophysics lab and went through her usual de-linting ritual. When she was sufficiently lint free she entered the lab. Taking her lab coat and putting it on, she looked around the room. Now this was different.
There was food everywhere and no sign of Professor Flamsteed. Jasmine wondered what was up with the grocery store theme. She couldn't wait to see how this would be applied to Astronomy. And where was the Professor? It wasn't like him not to be there, singing and jumping on desks. Jasmine saw that her young friend had already arrived. "Hi Norah", she said with a smile. Then she found a seat, sat down and made herself comfortable. Nothing to do now but wait.
Norah looked up and smiled at Jasmine as she took her seat. Maybe she would take the second year's mind off her grumbling stomach. That would take a lot of effort.
She grinned at Ian when she turned and saw it was him tapping her on the shoulder. "Of course!" She moved her bag to the floor and gestured to the seat beside her. Jasmine wouldn't mind, right?

The first astronomy lesson had been pretty good, very physics based and so the blonde was able to keep up easily with her classmates. She hoped this lesson would replicate this and meet her expectations. She'd liked the Professor too, he was enthusiastic and clearly into his job unlike others probably were. She entered the classroom swiftly after using the lint roller. Layla's uniform was usually pretty dust free anyway but no harm in doing it anyway.
As she stepped onto the premises she immediately noticed the lack of a professor in the room. Interesting and a little quizzical but perhaps he had some over-the-top welcome to make as he entered. Eh. She didn't really care.
The food was also a pretty obvious sight but Layla very much doubted whether she'd be able to eat anything anyway. She was a particularly fussy eater and stuck to incredibly healthy dinners. So far a lot of the teachers had offered unhealthy snacks full of uneccesary sugars and quite frankly a load of rubbish. She wouldn't touch them with a ten foot barge pole. She HADNT eaten but she didn't really expect to eat much here anyway.
The Ravenclaw found her way to Clara and Eden because she didn't really know anyone else here. And weirdly she didn't fancy sitting alone today. She offered them half smiles before folding her arms on the table. "Hey" she spoke glancing at the contents of their desks.
Another one of those things he felt he had to go to. Peter did not know what that thing was outside the room on the table so Peter just entered the room not taking the square thing with names on it. Plus his name was not there.
How could his awesome name not be there. It was Peter Pan.
Ah look at all that food. Terrible thing Peter was not hungry or he would have taken an apple or something to eat. Though he did not know what any of these things were. But he had a very vague idea of how to use them. Still leaning on his stool he put his feet on the table to get comfortable.
No Adults = Free Peter

Aladdin walked into the classroom a bit nervously actually. Genie and Abu were still missing when he got here the other night! This was getting out of hand! They were no where to be seen, and Aladdin was starting to get worried. What he would have to do is just calm his nerves, and act as if everything was completely normal. He couldn't let other people see his true emotions otherwise his reputation as one of the most well known street-rats would go down. If that went down people would then think of Aladdin only as a coward! That couldn't be happening now, could it!?
Looking at some other kids grab these weird coats off of a hanger on the door he went over there. Noticing them, Aladdin saw that they all had a name on them. Rummaging through it all, he couldn't find his. Turning around to ask whoever was in charge he said "Erm...I can't seem to fi-" That's when he saw that there was no teacher to be in sight. Normally, from what Aladdin has learned, they'd normally be at the biggest type of desk in the front of the room...but no one was there. All that was there was food.
Walking up to the desk he looked around to see if he could find anything. This food looks really tasty...maybe I could just sneak a bite. Aladdin thought to himself. Even though the board clearly read DO NOT TOUCH OR EAT THE FOOD, he still looked around to see if anyone was watching him. Taking the ripest looking on the desk he snuck it into his pocket. Hopefully no one saw that, and hopefully all that training of 'quick hands, fast fingers, and stealthy palms' would pay off for him right now.
Another astronomy class? Kace was pumped for this. As he walked into the classroom, he noticed a few students were already here. He smiled and he gave a friendly wave in Lux's direction. Then he saw the bunson burners and astronomer food. Yummm it did look delicious but apparently he wasn't aloud to eat it. He shrugged and decided to go take his seat, but before he said down he said the greeting to the professor. "Hello Professor Airey" he gave him a wave.
He got out his famous doodle book and continued to draw and draw waiting for class to begin and to see if his friends showed up.
lives in a hobbit hole || Ern and Touz's Nuzzle || roflysst || looking at a seed packet
Ruby didn't know any different as far as if this was a good or bad place for class, and she also wasn't much impressed by the food. She did wave cheerfully at the professor and sit down next to Grayson though. She'd already twigged he was smart, so it made sense to stick with him.
Hopefully there wouldn't be too much book stuff to do.
"Hey." She whispered, giving him a little nudge and a smile.
And no, she hadn't de-linted, but she also didn't need to since she wasn't the sort to roll around on the floor.

The ominous thump of leather soles against stone floor echoed through the corridor and into the laboratory as the. Perhaps he should have kept that Lost Boy's map instead of dismissing it when it did not show the location of Hangman's Tree upon it. It was bad form to be late to a previous scheduled engagement and, according to the strange calendar looking thing in his quarters, he was that. Very much so.
Clutching a few parchments in his hand, the Captain sneered as he stepped into the room and saw it to be filled with Lost Boys...and Lost Girls. What kind of rubbish had his dedication to good form gotten him into this time? Educating these parasitic sacks of entrails....
Using his hook to scratch the stone wall just outside, releasing a teeth-gritting and skin crawling noise into the air, his sneer turned into a smile that caused his mustache to wiggle. "Greetings and salutations................children," he said with forced pleasantries as he removed his hat and hung it, along with the bird cage containing his very special prison, on one of the now empty hangers by the door. "Jas. Hook at your service, but you all are to refer to me as Captain." He strut towards the front of the room, running his hook along the table tops and scratching them up as he went. "I will be your substitute instructor today ONLY because it is in good form to adhere to the schedule I discovered previously. NOT because I want to be here."
Nearly at the front of the room now, the Captain stopped quite suddenly and spun around in place before sinking his hook into the table where a young boy (natethegreat) was sitting. "Tell me, boy, do your eyes not work? Or hast thou simply forgotten thy manners?" Without saying another word, the Captain reached into the boy's pocket and pulled out the apple he had stolen and set it on the table while remaining hunched over. "Stealing from your Captain? Tsk tsk tsk...it's the plank for you boy!" And then he slammed his hook into the apple, screwing it, and took a large bite out of the apple as he stood up straight. "But it would be bad form to deny you a bit of education before you meet thy doom, so you shall walk the plank after this lesson is complete."
Taking a few more bites out of the juicy red apple, his forget-me-not blue eyes returned to the parchment in his hand and he read from it for a few moments before looking back at the sea of vacant expressions. "I have read that you have studied something called geocide previously...with particular attention to asteroid collisions..." What ever in Neverland all that was. He did not care enough to ask them to explain these things in detail either. None of it related to him or his still missing crew. Perhaps...he could recruit some of these sorry excuses for maggots to join him on the Jolly Roger...
"It also says here that you may...eat whatever it is that is in those strange looking parcels on your tables." And there was a dismissive wave with his hook (apple still attached) as he said this. "I am also meant to ask you if anyone can inform me why the date February 20, 1947 is significant." Which was rather odd to ask considering the answer was written right there below the question on the piece of parchment.
Poorly written handwriting, for the record.
The Captain was not yet aware that his very obsession was sitting just within a leap and his hook's reach. Not yet anyway.
OOC: class has officially started! Please do not post arriving late unless you are willing to face the IC consequences
Also, please assume that Professor Flamsteed taught a few lessons on asteroids between the first RPed lesson and this one.
Class will hopefully continue approximately 12-14 hours from the time of this post.

What was this class again? Stars or something? Ugh, if Rumple had been successful in spinning straw into gold, he wouldn't be here right now. But alas, he wasn't. He wasn't sure WHY he had suddenly lost his ability to spin straw into gold but it was extremely frustrating! His whole operation depended on it!
So needless to say, Rumplestiltskin was NOT in a good mood. Not at all.
He had moodily picked a seat near the back so he wouldn't have to talk to people. He saw that Aladdin kid and thought about maybe going over there to ask him how the Genie hunt was going - THAT would help him get back his gold spinning abilities, he was sure - but he was in such a bad mood he didn't trust himself to not snap at the kid.
Wait...did that man have a HOOK? He sat up, eyes bulging. OH MY GOSH, NO...it couldn't be...NOT THE CAPTAIN!
He couldn't even remember how to talk, let alone answer his question. No, not another villain! Not another one infiltrating his school!

Peter was waiting for someone to enter. He just did not expect it to be HOOK. He has finally showed his face. He must be the one keeping Wendy and his boys away from him. Getting a little smart in his old age. Just not smart enough to get the better of Peter Pan.
Peter immediately jumped on the desk. "HOOK". Now where was his dagger. He need his dagger to fight Hook. Well he had this stick of wood. Wand thing. That would work. He pointed the wand at Hook.
"Where did you put Wendy and my Lost Boys?"
Did he have Mr. Smee guarding them somewhere.
Stupid Hook thinking he could outsmart him.

Toby winced and cringed and looked up for the source of that HORRIBLE scraping noise, gritting his teeth together as he did so. What could be making that awful sou-...

Airey... Airey thought he was a pirate. That, or he was just PRETENDING to be Captain Hook, which was pretty likely, really. Except... Toby had a feeling Airey really DID think he was a pirate, especially since all that stuff had happened with Alexa and a ton of other kids.
Toby only watched as Airey acted... like that, sentencing one kid to... walk the plank? ... Right. At one point, Toby's mouth sort of fell open so that he was just staring, agape, at the Captain. He didn't know the answer to the question, couldn't even recall what it was, he was just...................... staring and fidgeting nervously with his quill. ESPECIALLY when that little Slytherin spoke up, and NOT to answer the question. There was WAND BRANDISHING.

There wasn't much time spent wondering where her best friend was before Lottie appeared at the table, looking as ready for the lesson as her--maybe more ready than her actually because Lex was still eyeing the uncooked food and wondering when the bonfires would start. Feeding children never seemed high up on the Professor's list of priorities, especially not in the lab but if the Professor was willing to change his mind, far be it from her to try to stop him.
Lex might have asked something about it too were it not for the horrid noise that came in shortly after. "What in Merlin's beard....?" She turned to watch the Professor enter....with a hook. Alright. Sure.
But then the Professor was going on about things and substituting his own class and..."Reckon someone slipped him something at dinner when he wasn't looking?" She asked Lottie, not sure what she was meant to make of the man right now. He was Airey, of course he was. Not a Captain, not that she knew anyway.
As for his question, it was discarded for the moment in the wake of her own. "Professor....why are you dressed like that and why are you talking so weird and how soon can we get roasting that meat?" All important questions. Answer the last one first.
For now, she was just gonna...ignore Dante going on about Hook and Lost Boys. The Professor was her main concern and BOY was she concerned.

First, there was this weird man, with a hook on his hand. Wait- no. The hook WAS his hand. Somehow he noticed Aladdin stealing the delicious apple even when he was out of the room. Either this man was smart, or he had eyes in the room. Which, wouldn't surprise Aladdin considering that his friend was a Genie...Anyways...The man with the hook who said to call him 'Captain then took his apple and started eating it! How dare he! Granted, Aladdin technically broke the rule, but still! That was rude just going into people's pockets and.......Aladdin couldn't speak about that being rude because he did that all the time.
Then there was a boy, who also was there when Aladdin somehow got in this mysterious place. Though he apparently knew this man...by the way it sounded this man the 'Captain' was evil...Rising at the desk Aladdin said "A street rat does what he has to do...even if it means stealing to stay alive." His voice started to gradually get louder as he spoke "By the sounds of it, I'd say you're a pirate. As a pirate you should know all about stealing because after all according to that boy-" Aladdin then pointed at the boy who had a wand out "-You've stolen more than just apples or other treasure...you've stolen a person. Believe me buddy, that's one thing you do not get away with."
Walking away, he joined the other boy who was standing on the desk. Pulling out from his pocket he expected a dagger of some sorts, but it seems that he pulled out a wand of his own. Pointing it at the Captain he remembered how Jafar kidnapped Jasmine. If this man did the same thing as Jafar, that meant he was dead to Aladdin. No one, and he meant NO ONE! Got away with stealing someone from anybody!

All of a sudden there was an ear-piercing noise from outside the classroom and Ben couldn't help but winch at the sound. What in Merlin's beard, he thought to himself as he turned to the front of the classroom, or more specifically the door near the source of it only to spot one pirate enter the room. On closer inspection, one could see Professor Flamsteed's face above the ruffles and coat and beneath the large hat.
Oh this was worse than they thought. First Alexa and now Flamsteed acting all weird.
The Gryffindor tried listening to all that was being said to try and fit pieces together but it was rough. And the first year Slytherin jumping out of nowhere to confront him only added to the confusion.
Wendy and the lost boys?!
Street rat and pirates?!
That was from another boy older than the first. Eat the packets...not very likely thank you. Caution and awareness. That had to be a smart thing to follow. At least until he figured out if it was all a prank or something worse. As for the date they were asked about, nothing came to Benny's mind so he just exchanged glances with Angel.

.....Flamsteed was dressed as Captain Hook??? Was dressing up on the noticeboard? David assumed it hadn't been because most everyone else was dressed like normal, so.....??
And then some other kid was going along with it and talking about Wendy and "HIS" Lost Boys????
AND THEN another kid was calling himself a street rat (where had he heard that from?) and ALSO wanted to duel Hooksteed too??
Dinner and a show? What was all this? Was the February date question even Astronomy related or was this part of the act too???
Well, HE decided to play along. Seemed like fun.
"Was that date the beginning of the fight between you and Peter Pan?" Who he assumed that one kid was being. The other, he didn't think was in the same story...but other than that, he wasn't sure. Maybe he would ask his sister about it later.

This room at the very top of the castle was a nice place to spend time... shame it was marred by another of these tiresome class thingies. Red had things she'd much rather be doing, but she still sat primly at at desk with her ankles crossed and her hands folded over the handle of her basket.
Perhaps learning a bit about the stars would help. One never knew when journeying at night was required.
Also... one never knew what was hidden beneath a HOOK. My goodness, but he was a fright. "What big..." No, he didn't really have big eyes and he only had one paw. Red fiddled with the parcel on her desk before slipping it into her basket. "I don't know what that is, but it would frighten any decent woodland creature." And some of the indecent ones too.
She was going to stay right here, thank you. "Does anyone happen to have an axe handy? Just in case this goes a bit wrong on us, you know?"

It was bad form to be late to a previous scheduled engagement and, according to the strange calendar looking thing in his quarters, he was that. Very much so.
Clutching a few parchments in his hand, the Captain sneered as he stepped into the room and saw it to be filled with Lost Boys...and Lost Girls. What kind of rubbish had his dedication to good form gotten him into this time? Educating these parasitic sacks of entrails....
Using his hook to scratch the stone wall just outside, releasing a teeth-gritting and skin crawling noise into the air, his sneer turned into a smile that caused his mustache to wiggle. "Greetings and salutations................children," he said with forced pleasantries as he removed his hat and hung it, along with the bird cage containing his very special prison, on one of the now empty hangers by the door. "Jas. Hook at your service, but you all are to refer to me as Captain." He strut towards the front of the room, running his hook along the table tops and scratching them up as he went. "I will be your substitute instructor today ONLY because it is in good form to adhere to the schedule I discovered previously. NOT because I want to be here."
Nearly at the front of the room now, the Captain stopped quite suddenly and spun around in place before sinking his hook into the table where a young boy (natethegreat) was sitting. "Tell me, boy, do your eyes not work? Or hast thou simply forgotten thy manners?" Without saying another word, the Captain reached into the boy's pocket and pulled out the apple he had stolen and set it on the table while remaining hunched over. "Stealing from your Captain? Tsk tsk tsk...it's the plank for you boy!" And then he slammed his hook into the apple, screwing it, and took a large bite out of the apple as he stood up straight. "But it would be bad form to deny you a bit of education before you meet thy doom, so you shall walk the plank after this lesson is complete."
Taking a few more bites out of the juicy red apple, his forget-me-not blue eyes returned to the parchment in his hand and he read from it for a few moments before looking back at the sea of vacant expressions. "I have read that you have studied something called geocide previously...with particular attention to asteroid collisions..." What ever in Neverland all that was. He did not care enough to ask them to explain these things in detail either. None of it related to him or his still missing crew. Perhaps...he could recruit some of these sorry excuses for maggots to join him on the Jolly Roger...
"It also says here that you may...eat whatever it is that is in those strange looking parcels on your tables." And there was a dismissive wave with his hook (apple still attached) as he said this. "I am also meant to ask you if anyone can inform me why the date February 20, 1947 is significant." Which was rather odd to ask considering the answer was written right there below the question on the piece of parchment.
Poorly written handwriting, for the record.
The Captain was not yet aware that his very obsession was sitting just within a leap and his hook's reach. Not yet anyway.
OOC: class has officially started! Please do not post arriving late unless you are willing to face the IC consequences
Also, please assume that Professor Flamsteed taught a few lessons on asteroids between the first RPed lesson and this one.
Class will hopefully continue approximately 12-14 hours from the time of this post.
Just so it was perfectly clear...Gabriel had ZERO idea what was going on. Considering this was his first term at the school...and these...muggle fairytale characters had been....showing up to lessons via his...peers?....Gabe thought this was normal...at [U]Hogwarts.[/I] A rouse.
Cosplay.
Professor Flamsteed hadn't seemed into that sort of thing (going off the previous lesson)...but if the older man was...Well, okay? Gabe didn't understand people calling him out for wanting to make the lesson interesting...or whatever. Not that he was amused...or maybe he was...Either way, it was attracting all the attention and that was something Gabe was definitely okay with.
.......Yes.
Anyway, he'd already gotten his notebook out, along with his special color!coding quill. and started his notes for the lesson. Important things for Gabriels, you see...and he obviously wasn't going to answer the question out loud. BUT HE KNEW A THING that HAD happened on that date.
SPOILER!!: Astronomy notebook!

The importance of February 20, 1947: Fruit flies were sent into space (via a V-2 rocket launched by the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps) and successfully returned. It's significant because it was the first living things to do so.
....and he didn't want to eat the space ice cream...right now.
K, thanks.

Sophie was sitting beside Toby, as she always did in Astronomy, and she was unashamedly amused at the professor's antics when he entered the laboratory, even though the ear-piercing screech made her cringe. Her grin was big, wondering how on Earth this... pirate charade would be related to the topic of astronomy today.
And... as Flamsteed continued to speak - first introducing himself as Hook, then being... far too into the role, she realized... something was wrong, wasn't it? He... WASN'T just kidding around? And then the little Slytherin boy, going on about Wendy and the Lost Boys - well. Sophie knew ALL about the story of Peter Pan, of course - the movie was her one of her favorite things the Muggle world had ever created - and she wanted to think this whole thing was some... rehearsed play or something. But, now that she thought back to Lex in those previous classes acting like she was the Mistress of All Evil or some nonsense - Soph glanced at the Head Girl at the thought of it - it was... briefly concerning that the girl was back to normal. What... was even happening?
Soph didn't have an answer to the question "Hook" posed. No drawing attention to herself just yet. Instead, she was... observing. Calculating. No eating of the packaged treat on her desk, that was for sure. Were they in any real danger, if Captain Hook was their professor for the day? Her wand slid out from its holster on her arm and she very calmly and casually let it rest in her lap, just in case, holding onto it tightly. Waiting. And... wondering... street rat? That was an Aladdin thing! Soph squinted at the Slytherin boy, even more baffled by the events unfolding before them, and she peeked at Tobes.
...Oh, Merlin. Maleficent, Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Aladdin. Had they... brought the characters from Disney World back with them from their trip over the summer? What if THEY had caused this, her and Tobes? What if they'd picked up some sort of curse while they were there?!
Even though her eyes had slightly bulged, Sophie tried to seem totally calm and cool as she wrote on her notes in the upper corner so Tobes could see, Did Disney World follow us? She very nonchalantly nudged his side to get his attention and let her hand slide over the writing like she was brushing her paper of dust or something, but she was really just showing him what she had written.

Speaking of the Professor, where was he? He was always there to greet his students.
