When the students and professors arrive at their destination, they are surrounded by what truly looks like a wasteland. Cracked, dusty earth, a dull brown in color, puffs up with dust when anyone steps down on the ground. The shapes of the cracks in the ground resemble a tortoise shell, and all around them...for miles, is nothing. Absolutely nothing. Birds do not fly by, there are no animals in sight, and the dense quiet that surrounds them was truly eerie.
This land, ruined in some way by muggles, was for all intents and purposes a desert. The soil was unusable, if you could call the hard ground soil at all.
It is YOUR job, as a student attending this field trip, to do everything in your power to help this land get healthy again! The plants grafted in Herbology from before Christmas are off to the side, just waiting to be planted. A small tent is located next to the potted trees, and inside this tent is a box of supplies that Professor Flamsteed procured for some good ole’ fashioned soil analysis! Professor Moxley has provided some muggle tools to help with the planting stuff as well! So enjoy your LOVELY uniforms...and let’s get to work! Professor Myers has some topical potions to prevent sunburn! So get your potion and let’s gooooo!
the above map is for OOC reference only.
It is meant to serve as a guide to help you RP tasks appropriately.
landing site and tents with supplies are located on the edge of the map at the bottom blue areas indicate not enough nitrogen yellow areas indicate too much nitrogen red areas indicate not enough carbon brown areas are useable soil
☼ Tasks ☼
Soil Analysis
SPOILER!!: Steps
Located inside the tent you will find the following materials to be used for soil analysis: vials of identifying solution (presently clear will turn colors), plastic beakers, trowels, and small jars of powdered carbon. To perform a complete soil analysis you must perform the following steps:
collect a trowel full of dirt and add to a beaker
pour 1 cup of the solution into the beaker with the dirt and swirl it around 5 times clockwise
point your wand at the mixture and say “Cibus Revelio” (solution will turn colors to indicate what that particular area needs most). The area has been sealed off and approved by the Ministry for underage wizards to perform magic.
based on the color change, administer appropriate restoration effort
blue : plant a grafted plant (see directions below)
yellow : plant cabbage saplings (see directions below)
red : mix one tablespoon powdered carbon in with the soil sample and massage the solution back into the ground with your hands.
brown/remains unchanged: nothing needs done
overlapping colors
: at the digression of the RPer
A minimum of 4 posts is required for this activity (preferably 2 posts in 2 different areas of the map)
Planting the Grafted Trees
SPOILER!!: Steps
The trees the grafted from the beginning of term are in a clump located on the right. This task requires a few steps in order to be considered completed. No magic is to be used during this portion. Use shovels, wear gloves, and keep hydrated as your work! These are still relatively small trees, but not as baby as they were in the beginning of term. Keep in the mind the grafted trees should only be planted where the ground is in need of NITROGEN [blue areas].The steps are as followed:
Digging hole (with shovel)
Unpotting tree
Placing tree in ground
Recovering with dirt (with shovel)
Watering the tree once it’s in the ground
Have fun with this and interact with each other! Minimum of 2 posts required!
Planting Cabbage
SPOILER!!: Steps
On the opposite side of where the trees are located are a whole plow of cabbage saplings waiting to be planted in the ground! The cabbages are for ground where nitrogen is too rich because cabbages help reduce nitrogen in soil. Planting these plants is pretty similar planting the trees with slight differences. There are also some buckets of compost to help the cabbage and soil in these areas [yellow areas]. The cabbages are in biodegradable pots. The steps are as followed:
Digging the hole (using a spade this time, cabbages are little!)
Mix compost into the soil in the hole
Wet the cabbage
Tear the bottom off of biodegradable pot
Place cabbage in the hole
Fill in hole
Water those baby cabbages!
Again, have fun with this! Get messy, interact with each other, ask questions, complain. Minimum of 2 posts required!

Biting her lip slightly in concentration, Esme added a cup of water to the beaker while making sure not to spill any on the ground around her. She had no idea how important it was to be accurate with this test and felt that it was always better to be safe than sorry.
Pointing her wand at the mixture she spoke in a clear voice. "Cibus Revelio."
Based on the last time she had collected a sample, she knew that it would take a few moments for the colour change to appear. Holding the beaker outwards and tilting her head on a slight angle she watched closely and waited to see when the change would begin to take place. At first she didn't notice it but soon it became rather apparent that the sample had taken a red hue. That meant that she needed to add some ground carbon and massage it into the earth.
Measuring out a tablespoon of the powdered carbon that had been with the supplies they were given, Esme added it to the beaker and worked to mix everything together. The red colour faded and was replaced with the brown that it had been previously so she knew that the carbon had done its job. Pleased she set about pouring the mixture back where she had gotten it from. Gently and thoroughly she massaged it into the ground with her hands so that the earth would get the full benefit of what she had done.

With the grafted tree in place, Olivia straightened back up to her feet, retrieving the shovel from up off the ground as well. With the tool in hand, she began scooping up the previously displaced soil and adding it back over the replanted tree’s root ball one scoop by one scoop. When the dirt was mostly used up and the roots covered up, she leaned down and patted it down with her gloved hands until she was satisfied, brushing the excess dirt off of her gloves as she stood back up.
Looking over her newly planted plant, she admired her work thinking she was done. Until it hit her and she was reminded about the last and final step…watering the newly planted tree. Except Olivia wasn’t sure she had seen watering cans anywhere nor a collection of water to fill it up. Guess magic was allowed at this point in the process so she got her wand back out of her suit’s pocket. “Aquamenti!” A stream of water sprayed out and she moved it over her charge to give it a nice watering before ending the spell.
Ariadne perked up. "We are? Wonder why we've never met! That's so weird," she commented. How had they gone from September to APRIL without ever meeting each other? She thought about Elsa for a minute then looked long and hard at her face. "Wait! I know you! You're a first year, right? Me, too! We're dorm mates!" Okay, now that was officially weird. Not only had they gone from September to April without meeting...they shared a dorm the entire time!
By this time, Elsa had already wet the cabbage, torn the bottom off the pot, and passed it to Ariadne, so the first year began placing the cabbages in the holes she'd made--one for her, and one for Elsa. "Alright, all we need to do is fill up these holes and water the cabbages!" she said. Ariadne began scooping the soil back into the hole, filling the gaps and patting it down nicely. She then passed Elsa a watering can and took one for herself, too. She sprinkled water all over the baby cabbage she'd claimed as her own.
That was rather odd indeed, being in the same house and never meeting.. and wait, she was right, they did share a dorm! "Oh Merlin, how can this be? I remember now, that is why your face looks familiar to me!" she shook her head, as she patted the dirt back "This is unacceptable, but I guess every time I enter the dorm I just fall face first on my bed, and I'm usually the last one to get up!" she pulled her hair back, filling it with loose dirt as she giggled. Yes, she was a bit of a sleepy head.
She patted the dirt around the cabbage that Ariadne had placed for her, she then gladly took the watering can from her fellow Slytherin and watered the cabbage with a triumphant smile on her lips
"I guess this is it! We did it! This land will be so happeh!" she chanted with excitement, doing a little dance despite all the heat, sweat and dirt. Guess all that was left was for them to put the tools away?

Janelle knew what she had to do, so she got straight to work. Ready to follow the directions, she found her jar of powdered carbon and the measuring spoons. Then she opened the jar and carefully measured one tablespoon. Janelle poured the carbon into the beaker containing her soil sample. She gave the beaker a few swirls, hoping that the powder would mix sufficiently with the soil/identifying solution.
It mixed.......sort of, but everything was not mixed to Janelle's satisfaction. She wondered if she should use her hands to mix it better or use one of the un-needed measuring spoons. Deciding to go with the measuring spoon, Janelle chose one that she would surely not need later. She gave it a good "Scourgify" before she used it, just to be safe. Dipping the spoon into the beaker, she stirred the mixture well. Satisfied that it looked good now, Janelle was ready for the next step.

Okay, so now that he had his hole... Jaemin had to put the cabbage in it. But first, he had to compost the hole, so the cabbage wouldn't die on him. What a tragedy that would be... he didn't want poor little plants dying, especially when they were supposed to be helping the ground get better for more little plants. The small Slytherin reached for the bucket of compost and hummed to himself as he upended it into the hole; it left a little less room, but that wasn't gonna be a problem. He pushed his gloved hands into the hole and squished it up against the sides.
"There we go," he murmured to himself contentedly, tilting his head and looking at the hole for a long moment before reaching for the cabbage pot. He had to rip the bottom of it off... but after he wet it. He was allowed to use magic for that, right? The little Slytherin looked around furtively before taking off a glove, picking up his wand, and pointing it at the cabbage. "Aguamenti."
Just a liiiiiiiittle bit of water. Not too much, cause it didn't need to go swimming, though it would probably appreciate that out here in this desert-y wasteland. The boy stopped the spell when the cabbage and its soil were wet, then slipped his glove back on. Wet cabbage, wet soil, compost... now he had to figure out how to rip the bottom open. It was a bit difficult, because he didn't want to tilt the pot too far; what if the cabbage plant was offended, and it fell out?!
He pushed his fingers against one spot on the bottom of the pot, trying to find a place to dig them in. It took a few minutes, but he finally found a soft spot, and pressed harder. After some pushing and tugging, it finally gave, and he tore at the bottom to rip it all the way off. The cabbage plant thankfully stayed inside, and without another bit of hesitation, Jaemin pressed it into the composted hole and patted it into place. There was much less room for dirt now, and he could fill in the empty spaces by pushing some of the stuff he dug up back in...
Aaaaaaaand planted cabbage. The boy patted the plant affectionately before taking off his glove again, retrieving his wand from his sleeve, and watering the little thing once more. Do your thing, little plant!

Now that the hard part had been completed, Janelle was ready to have some fun. She took the beaker with the soil/carbon mixture and got down closer to the ground. Finding the spot where she had dug, Janelle poured the mix onto the ground. Then she began to knead it, mixing it with the dirt on the ground. Once the dirt was wet, it became much easier to handle.
Janelle gave the earth its promised massage. Being Janelle, she began to talk to it as she went along. "Come on soil. I'm going to make you better. I'll fix you right up and then maybe something can be planted here." Over and over, she worked the soil until it began to feel better. At least it felt better to Janelle. It felt good to have her hands in the soil. Not that she was becoming a Herbology nerd, but this activity was kind of fun.
Janelle was not satisfied with the small amount to soil that she had rehabilitated. Knowing that she had planting to do, she could not linger at this spot too long. Quickly, she took another sample, and repeated all of the steps one more time. Massaging the next batch into the adjacent soil, Janelle was pleased that she was able to improve a larger area. When she finished, she used Aguamenti to rinse her hands. Then she packed up her supplies and headed back to her planting spot.

Even though Tia had used a portkey before, she still never got over the sensation she'd felt when traveling via that method. It made apparition look like a breeze. Despite her portkey experience, the seventh year still took a few moments to catch her breath and gaze around in the work site that the professors took them too. She had to give them a lot of credit for their creativity in this work site. Feeling super important with her uniform, the head girl made her way inside the first tent she got to, which just so happened was the soil analysis tent.
Looking over the materials inside the tent before actually doing anything, Tia took a few brief mental notes before collecting a trowel full of dirt and adding it carefully to the beaker.

Scarlett had successfully gotten that one patch all...carbonated again (was that the right word?? She wasn't sure) and now she had to move on to some other patch. She decided to go in the opposite direction of where she had started and grabbed a sampling of her soil. She tossed it in the beaker along with the solution and swirled it five times as she had done the last time.
Now for the spell..."Cibus Revelio!" she exclaimed, tapping the beaker with her wand. She waited and waited, and...slowly but surely, the solution started to turn purple. Or was it blue? Either way, she knew that meant she had to plant a tree. Time to get to work!

Janelle finally arrived back at the nitrogen deprived spot that she had marked. Fortunately, her quill and scrunchie were still intact. Janelle put her supplies down and then went over to retrieve her tree. Her baby tree had grown, which made her feel happy. She guessed that she had done everything right after all. Carrying her tree, Janelle stopped to get a shovel on the way back to her spot.
At last, Janelle was ready to get to work. She put her plant to the side and put her gloves on. Then she began to tap the ground with her shovel. Her idea was to loosen the dirt before she began to dig. Once she did start digging, things went well at the surface. As she dug deeper though, more elbow grease was needed. When she felt that her hole was big enough, Janelle put the shovel down. She went over to her plant and looked at it admiringly. "You are growing very nicely my little tree. I'm going to take you out of the pot and plant you over here." Janelle had to do it right so her tree could not only survive, but help heal the soil.

Scarlett knew from her analysis that this particular spot needed nitrogen - which meant getting one of those grafted trees they'd made in Herbology and planting it right THERE. Using the area that she had taken her sample from as a starting place, she wandered over to the supplies and grabbed a shovel, returned to the same spot, and started to dig. Thankfully, the dirt was easy to shovel and didn't require a ton of effort on her part. Or maybe she was just stronger than she thought!
With that out of the way, she went and got one of the potted trees and brought it back to the hole. She knelt down and began to slowly work the tree with it's roots out of the pot. She knew she was going to have to keep the area of soil around the roots as possible. She eventually managed to work the tree, with surrounding soil and roots in tact, from the pot. Now to plant it in the ground...

Janelle took her hand and carefully dug around her tree. When she felt that the trench was deep enough, she gently removed the tree from the soil. She had to be careful not to damage any part of the tree, including the roots. Janelle took a moment to look at her grafted tree before she planted it. It was amazing how that whole process worked.
Finally, Janelle placed the tree in the hole she had previously dug. Using her hand, she placed a little soil around it. Then she picked up her shovel and began to replace the dirt, filling up the space where the hole used to be. With loving care, she patted down the soil and made sure her baby was tucked in nice and tight. Janelle stood back and admired her handiwork. There was something to be said for this Herbology stuff after all.
Regretting the time that she would have to leave her tree, she took out her wand. "Aguamenti", Janelle said. As the water started to flow from her wand, Janelle moved it above the soil surrounding her tree. She wanted to make sure that it had plenty of water, but not too much. When she thought that the tree was sufficiently hydrated, she said, "Finite". "Well, I guess that's it little tree. You are going to make this place beautiful and I"m going back to school.". Hopefully someone from Hogwarts would check on all of their trees.

Ariadne wiped her bangs out of her eyes. Merlin, it was getting hot out here. No...correction. It HAD BEEN hot out here, but it was even hotter now. She wanted to be back in her school uniform and out of this jumpsuit...whatever it was.
She laughed at how Elsa said she just fell down on her bed the second she got to her dorm. THEIR dorm. "Yeah, me, too. I don't really hang out there. I just sleep there," she said. So that made more sense and explained why they were both first years, both in the same house, and both in the same dorm, yet never met. "Okay, well, we know each other now!"
...and with that, they had finished! "Thanks for being my partner!" she said. It had been a lot more fun with somebody to talk to while working. She looked back up at the professors. They'd probably be wrapping things up soon.

THAT'S A WRAP #portkeyhome
astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf
Checking his sundial watch once more, the Astronomy professor waved his arms a bit wildly at his colleagues rather than do the reasonable thing and actually call out to them. If anyone asked, it was because he did not want to startled their students while they worked. It did, eventually, become clear that this method was just not going to work and thus his wand was removed from his pocket and placed to his throat.
"ALRIGHT EVERYONE! TIME TO WRAP THINGS UP!" he announced, checking his sundial watch once again. "PORTKEY BACK TO HOGWARTS LEAVES IN 15 MINUTES!"
---------time jump--------
With things cleared away and portkeys redistributed, the Astronomy professor held on to his hula hoop firmly with one hand while clutching Pebbles with his other.
OOC: that's a wrap! Please go ahead and declone your character (one wrap up post for the activity is perfectly fine as well) from this thread and post them arriving back at the classroom
This thread will remain open for another 24 hours to allow for all timezones <3 thanks for coming and playing!

Azura trudged back to the Headmistress when time was called and she looked back on what they had done.. She hoped they had made a difference.. And she hoped they would be able to check back on this sometimes soon!
She held onto the piñata and groaned ever so softly as she felt the familiar tugging and...

Just when Ariadne thought she couldn't stay out here much longer, she heard the booming voice of Professor Flamsteed. Time to go? Sounded good to her! Things started magically clearing away, and Ariadne saw the portkeys getting ready for the next departure.
She cast a look at the donkey pinata. That kind of looked like a really fun portkey to hang on to. She should go back to the hula hoop, though. That was where she started, after all.
Ariadne reached the hula hoop and held on tightly...

While saying goodbye to her tree, Janelle heard Professor Flamsteed announce that it was almost time to leave. She gathered up all of her equipment and headed back to return it all. She had really enjoyed this field trip and that was a bit of a surprise to her. Well maybe not because Janelle always loved field trips.
Once her things were returned, Janelle joined the Professor Flamsteed group and took hold of the hula hoop. "That was fun", she said to the professor. "Is someone going to keep an eye on things here? You know, to make sure the trees are doing alright?" This was not particularly a venue that Janelle was anxious to revisit, but she would like her tree looked after. But, if the plants did what they were meant to, maybe this place would become nice again.
Before Janelle had too much time to ponder the question, they were headed back to Hogwarts.

Working out in the sun all day was hot. And tiring. By the time Professor Airey called for everyone's attention announcing the time limit of just fifteen more minutes left Hady was ready to head back. She was sweaty, dirty, her hands were a little sore from all that digging and she was tired. What she wanted right now was to return to Hogwarts and her dorm where she could shower and change into some comfortable clothing.
Looking around though proved that the long days hard work had really paid off. The area looked loads better already and Hady was glad she had a hand in being able to help. With a light grin on her face and one more glimpse at her grafted tree she grabbed her things and made her way back over towards the Professors for the count down.
Laying a hand on the same portkey she had arrived by earlier (the donkey pinata) she waited silently for the familiar tug as she was whisked away back to the school.

He didn't want to leave his plants... Jaemin pouted a little as he moved back to Paul's side and got a hand on the giant ugly shoe. What if Hani got too thirsty and needed to be watered?! He didn't even know where they were, how was he gonna come check on her?
The small boy didn't get to voice his concerns about Hani, much less the probably more needy cabbages, before Professor Flamsteed was counting down. He closed his eyes and tensed up a little, before the uncomfortable hooking feeling in his stomach happened and he disappeared.
Kitty was starting to feel hot (even with the sunburn potion!) so she felt relieved when Professor Flamsteed announced they were going back. It had been fun but now she was thirsty. "Goodbye dessert!" She waved dramatically just for fun and went to join the others to go back.
Just one more thing. Kitty whipped out her camera and snapped a few pictures. Then she took hold of the hula hoop and off they went.

ALREADY?
Moxley had been enjoying the sun and watching the students work the muggle way while making this environment a more suitable place and all the while, the sun was beating down on her and the headmistress had made a critical mistake in her sun care routine. ...She'd forgotten to put some sun cream on her neck and the way she'd been sitting, well, she was now sporting quite an odd looking red mark which was very uncomfortable, to say the least.
...
Having grabbed her pinata and waved over the kiddos to ensure they all got back to school safely, the brunette braced herself for the familiar sensation and then they were gone!

It was time to leave ALREADY?
This trip had been so much fun that the time had seemed to fly by in the snap of a finger. At least she had managed to get something accomplished and helped replenish the earth by just a little bit. Sometimes she smallest actions did the most good - so long as everyone played their part. This lesson had been a perfect example of that. Obviously.
After getting to her feet, she surveyed her surroundings before heading back over to Professor Myers and his rather hideous shoe portkey. This was the way she had come and it was the way that she would leave: with her Head of House. As the countdown started she grabbed a firm hold onto the object.
With one last look at her surroundings she felt a firm tugging sensation and then they were gone.

Ooops time was up so it was time Olivia cleaned up. She carried the tools she had used back to the tent before finding where Professor Flamsteed was as the Ravenclaw figuring it was best she return to Hogwarts with the same group and corresponding portkey. So once more she would be traveling by the helpful charm placed on a hoop thingamajig, which was again as good an item as any.
To be honest it allowed them to spread out more when they all had a grasp on it. Like Olivia did now, her dusty dragonhide work gloves gripped around the plastic, the grip absently tightening as the countdown was begun.
