Astronomy Lesson :: Terraforming [ a brief introduction ]
The sun has long set and the light of the full moon is juxtaposed against the dotted canvas that is the night sky. Although the moon's glow is brilliant, one's eye cannot help but be drawn to a few other luminescent dots in the sky. Are they stars or planets? Only those that know how to distinguish between the two will be able to tell you that answer.
Stepping into the Astronomy classroom, you are hit with what feels like a brick wall of icy cold air that burns your face and causes your teeth to chatter. Rest assured that as cold as it may feel, there is no chance for you to get frostbite or catch a cold. As you make your way towards the semicircle of desks - the usual formation for Astronomy lessons to help create a more intimate setting - you may have to battle the occasional dust devil or terrestrial tornado along the way. These are relatively harmless and more of an annoyance than anything else as they carry NO risk of sweeping even the smallest of first years high into the air. Just be sure to hold on to your belongings. The air itself was tainted in unpleasant waves of stench reminiscent of someone setting off a series of dung bombs every few minutes. But perhaps the strangest of all is the manner in which you move about within the classroom. You feel much lighter on your feet and your usual steps cause you to lift higher up into the air than usual. Not too much that you will knock your head against the ceiling, but enough that you could potentially jump double your own height - perhaps even a little bit MORE than that if you really tried.
When you do finally arrive at your desk you find a little souvenir waiting for you. The blackboard, positioned across from the semicircle of desks, has the following instructions written upon it:
Quote:
The space blanket is yours to use should conditions prove to be too cold for you.
Take out a quill and write your FULL name and year on the piece of parchment provided.
Once you have done so, give it a tap with your wand.
The parchment, enchanted by the professor himself, will turn into a sturdy wood name plaque when you do so. Don’t worry, even the first years and those not skilled with magic will be able to manage this little trick.
Speaking of the professor, you can find him leaning against his desk with his trusty pet rock by his side, his own space blanket utilized in a peculiar but perhaps not unexpected manner and his own head protected by a Bubble Head Charm.
Did you remember to use the lint roller on the small table outside of the classroom? It was there next to the sign that reads, "Not to be used as a brush for your hair" and has the signature of a former student in the bottom right corner.
So come on in and find a seat, class will begin shortly.
⌦Lesson Progression
▸ question 1 :: why do we study astronomy?
▸ question 2 :: what can be done to make the classroom a more comfortable environment?
▸ question 3 :: should the human race terraform Mars? Why or why not?
▸ main activity :: "SPACE GLOBIALS"
Class will officially begin in approximately 14 hours from the time of this post.
This lesson has officially started! Please do not announce your character arriving late and just pretend like they have been in class all along. You are free to jump in any time and should use the lesson progression links to keep up.

His last two answers had her nodding and nodding and nodding. Brownie points for smartness. Or, she supposed that was how house points worked.
Plus, it was warm under the blanket. Hopping about in the cold didn't sound horrible when one was outside of the blanket, but when one was inside well....it became a different story.
Still, using minimal gravity in a game similar to capture the flag just sounded absolutely fantastic. So, she was able to work first her arms then her legs out of the blanket. She might have left it on as a cape too, would it not impede movement so much. With a huff of air, Amur braced herself and threw it off. Then it was moving the desk.
And then chaos broke loose. Pure and utter chaos. She sort of just stood and blinked. If she didn't move, she could see everything. If she did then she would loose that advantage. But, that being said, Amur didn't think Professor Flamsteed would appreciate a stationary body.
A sudden thought struck Amur, and she glanced from Flamsteed to the balls to the Professor to her own hands. What if.....? He hadn't said they couldn't. And what was the point in asking permission if the likely answer would be a 'no'. This was magic school after all, wasn't it?
With a private smile, Amur weasled her wand out of her sleeve, and tried for the disillusionment charm. The first time fizzled. The second time got her feet. The third her legs. The fourth nothing. The fifth seemed to be the charm, and she was more or less disillusioned. Save for the fact it wasn't a perfect blend, and it probably looked more like a weird blob of air moving through space, distorting things around it, but hey, it was a start!
With a grin, Amur went for the middle balls, snatching one off the platform and skittering back to the Gryffindor corner. There, she deposited it and caught sight of her favorite other Gryffindor.
"Pssst. Zeke. Tag team?" He would understand what that meant, right?
Huh?
Tag team?
Zeke considered Amur for a moment before his face split into a grin. "Tag team," he confirmed with a nod. Because obviously teamwork had its benefits. Mmmhhmm. The only question that remained was... which House would be their victim? Did it matter? No.
"Go long!" he stated with enthusiasm, arms flailing as he pushed himself in the direction of the Hufflepuff camp. He managed to get a hand on a yellow ball, and stole it away. Teeheee! And then as he drifted down from the platform he looked for Amur. Was she ready to catch?!
Olivia might not have been ready for this whole activity thing. All of a sudden Professor Flamsteed was answering their responses to the latest question, and the next he was uncovering platforms and balls and telling everyone the rules. And then everyone seemed to be moving and the first year was caught up in all the movement. So she was having trouble getting in on the action.
But...oh look, a fellow Ravenclaw was up on the Hufflepuff platform looking to through it somewhere. "Over here..." she said, trying to get her housemate's attention so she could catch it and move on.
Yes! A fellow Ravenclaw had seen her and was offering to catch the ball. Kitty smiled in relief and threw the ball towards Olivia, trying her best to make certain the ball was going straight and that she had thrown it hard enough.

REALLY? WAS SHE INVISIBLE TODAY? Dot grabbed the ball and hopped back out into a clear space in the room, again roving for someone to catch her toss. Perhaps she also whooped it up a little, in a way that was entirely not lady-like at all.
"Who's open? Who..." Dot bounded back and forth at the Gryffindor end of the room, looking for someone... anyone... who... THERE. Those younger Slytherins were doing an amazing job acting as receivers right by their platform. Dot hissed before letting the ball fly through the air in their direction.

It was PURE CHAOS!
Which meant that Amur was grinning ear to ear, wide and proud. Especially when Zeke seemed to catch her drift.
Amur went long, though she wasn't entirely sure which long she was supposed to be going. It seemed Zeke was going Hufflepuff long, which meant she was going PAST the Gryffindor platform long.
With ghusto she jumped onto her chosen spot, shooting up a good few feet in the air and thrusting her arms up, ready to catch. "BOUNCE IT OFF THE ROOF!"
Cause no one would think of being able to intercept that, right?

Elliot heard the call for an open Slytherin and turned just as the ball was let go. He jumped up clutching the ball to his chest as it fell into his hands before making his way quickly to the Slytherin platform leaping up to place it grinning as i turned green.

Okay...she could do this.
Olivia tried her best not to bounce or move too much as she waited for the response from the other girl. Less gravity had its interesting qualities. And then there was the raised arms and hands in search of catching the ball that was eventually thrown her way. It was going relatively straight and towards her, but maybe not quite as far. Biting her lip, the first year shifted herself forward to grab for it, relieved as she managed to grab it as she bounced slightly in her movements.
One part done...her gaze now turning to the Ravenclaw platform.

He saw her, and they were going to ACE this. They were, they would. They'd do all the winning and Gryffindor would be VICTORIOUS... cause, he totally wasn't competitive or anything. Nope. Amur's idea though, was truly genius. Bounce it off the ceiling. Brilliant.
Bracing himself, he held the ball as if he would a shot-put, and with GREAT gusto, tossed it at the ceiling between them, hoping the angle was right enough for a) the ball the make it to her and b) for her to be able to catch it.
He watched with great anticipation, his grin becoming dangerously wide as he watched it soar.

With the ball securely in her possession, all there was left to do was get it into the home spot for her house. Olivia didn't trust just throwing it so she made sure she had a good hold on her catch and headed over closer, a clear bounce in her steps now. Maybe even gaining a little air in the process. "Zoinks..." she said when she finally landed in a better position to secure the stolen ball.
Taking a more strategic bounce, Olivia went up and up, needing to head up the several feet to the Ravenclaw platform hanging there. It took a couple of tries, but she finally was able to place the purloined ball in its new, hopefully permanent, homes.

He got it! He heard her! He was going for it!!!!!!
..........THAT WAS QUITE THE THROW!
So much so that Amur greatly feared for her face. Extending her arms out in front of her, Amur squeaked a little as the ball came racing towards her. She might have closed her eyes too, if keeping track of the ball wasn't so imperative. Having somewhat invisible hands meant she had to use SOME coordination.
The ball made a thwack against her skin, and her fingers curled around it reflexively. Amur blinked, stared and then grinned. "Got it! Toss another!"
While she raced back towards the Gryffindor platform and dropped the ball onto it.
Point for Gryffindor!
Was it appropriate to let out a roar?!

In an effort to see better, Zeke had moved away from the Hufflepuff platform, drifting off to a point nearer the middle of the room, but closer to the Ravenclaw platform, his head tilting on an angle as he watched the ball rise, and fall and aim directly for Amur's face.
"Great catch!" he called out over the noise of their peers.
But there was no time to be wasted. If this was going to be all the 'Astronomy' he would truly be able to appreciate, then he would make the most of every second. Jumping at the Ravenclaw platform, Zeke used his arms (flailing slightly) to direct himself into landing.
Success!
And with that, Zeke plucked a blue ball from the Ravenclaw pseudo-pyramid and hopped back down from the platform.
Weeeeeeee!
"Same again?!" he called, because the ceiling thing seemed to be working for them, despite it hardly being a 'trend' yet.
curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog
Scarlett hadn't been fast enough to get one of the balls from the middle, but that was ok - she was smaller and knew she probably didn't have much of a shot anyways. But that was ok, because now she could focus on being a sneaky thief and contribute to Hufflepuff that way!
Her plan was to take from Ravenclaw because - well, they'd started out behind Hufflepuff and she wanted to KEEP them down. Eyes set on the pyramid of balls on their platform, she took a step and then LEAPED off on her second step, bouncing and then jumping again until she was near the ball pyramid. She reached out and grabbed one in her hand, turned on her heel, and prepared to throw...

Lots of great teamwork going on for the Eagles and Tia was taking a rest from her stealthy stealing for awhile. BUT that was when she saw it. Him. Zeke, pluck the blue ball RIGHT from the pyramid of blue balls. Rachel and Olivia - you two were supposed to be protecting!
"Oh no you don't!" The seventh year bounced over towards the fifth year and didn't even try to block his throw. No, she merely just tackled on top of him, because that was the easiest way for her to intercept the pass.

Olly sent a thumbs up to the boy who had caught the ball he'd thrown. Since he was already over by the Gryffindor platform, he thought he might as well steal more from them. The middle was empty anyway. Now they were down to the interesting part of the competition. Olly glanced around furtively and grabbed a Gryffindor ball. He was as inconspicuous as one could be in such a situation. Quickly, he spun and searched for a Slytherin to throw to.

All that was left to do was steal?! But the other had been so EASY! It was a lot harder and much more effort to steal, but they could pull this off! So Gryffindor was in the lead, and that could NOT happen. That was the other house the Sorting Hat had considered for Ariadne, but that didn't mean ANYTHING right now. This was WAR!
She pushed herself toward the Gryffindor's platform, her eyes set on the red balls. She needed to get one, land it safely on the Slytherin's platform, and then watch it turn a beautiful shade of GREEN! Reaching the platform, Ariadne reached out for a ball but only managed to float even further away from the platform than she'd been before. UGH. This was not helpful. She pushed through again but nearly collided into another student.
What in the name of--- OHHH! It was a Slytherin student with a red ball! "I'M OPEN!" she called out. If she couldn't steal a ball, she could accept a pass! Arms waving in the air, Ariadne waited for the ball to be thrown her way.

Olly heard the call and looked around to see who had said it and if they were talking to him. Technically there was a very large chance that they were talking to someone else, considering the amount of people in the room, but he had to look anyway. And he was pleased to see that it was another Slytherin student, and she was looking right at him. Olly nodded and threw the ball, not as hard this time because she was not very far away from him.

With the middle platform gone, it just turned into even more chaos and he was clinging to the Gryffindor platform FOR DEAL LIFE. Though he could see the other house teams really upping their game. Brownie points for them. But it was UNACCEPTABLE.
Hopping down from the Gryffindor platform, he sought out which house's platform to steal from... only to see someone was already stealing from theirs. This... he shouldn't have moved. Glancing to the girl who called out, he kinda placed himself in between the two. With his tongue sticking out, he eyed the Slytherin who had the red ball, wiggling in place before giving a great leap up...
So stealing from slytherin hadn’t worked…Mel wasn’t sulking nope, even if her face was still a bit red from that mishap with Tia and the Gryffindor balls being stolen…they were losing all of their balls…now, she had to do it.
She HAD to make back their points her precious precious balls.
Looking around the room for any free Gryffindors she snuck her way toward the hufflepuff platform as quietly as possible. SHE WAS GOING TO DO THIS. Thrusting into the air and floating up up up up up up up she made her way toward the floating Hufflepuff platform. Reaching her little grabby hands out was the easy part...she just hoped she wasn’t that noticeable.

She had this! Ariadne was wide open, and unless some really tall, super strong seventh year got in the way, she was pretty sure she could catch a pass and get it safely to the Slytherin platform! "OVER HERE!" she called out, noticing the boy looking around. Merlin, she wished she had gotten his name in the common room. It was a LOT easier to pull this off! he finally looked her way, nodded, and hurled the ball toward her.
It was a blur of redness, and suddenly Ariadne pictured herself on a Quidditch field! It was her dream to get out there and play, and this was just like how it'd be out there on that field! She eyed the ball the whole way, and when it got close to her, she--...WAIT. WHAAAAAAT. Some Gryffindor boy had stolen the ball!!! HOW DARE HE. She had been so close to victory! She didn't dare look at the Slytherin boy who'd tried to throw it to her. SOOO SORRY!
But this was not a moment to be lost! She was still RIGHT THERE by the Gryffindor platform, so she snatched away a different ball. Now to pass! Was the boy she'd just been trying to catch from still around?! She now had a ball to THROW!

The fall to the ground seemed like it took forever, but he did finally land.
On his behind.
Was just getting all the attention today wasn't it. Scrambling back up, he jogged back over closer to the Gryffindor side and leaped up to the platform to place the red ball back where it came from. Their pile was smaller. Enough to make his lip jut out slightly, but not enough to dampen the spirits. The game was only JUST beginning!
Not at all discouraged, he looked around again for the easiest platform to steal from... or if someone needed to pass to another.
MEL HAD IT IN HER HANDS. The yellow ball WAS so going to turn red. Soon. Looking around she started to fall slowly toward the ground with the yellow ball tucked into her arm. SHE NEEDED TO FIND SOMEONE TO PASS TO.
WHO WAS SHE GOING TO SEND THIS BALL TO? She needed to do this quickly before a hufflepuff noticed her or more noticed their yellow ball tucked in her little arms.

Elliot watched as Gryffindor had intercepted the pass and frowned. His demeanor changed when he saw a fellow Slytherin with a ball to throw. He called out to get her attention "Hey! Over here! I'm open!!"

Speaking of passing to someone...
"Oh, OH, HEY!" he flailed his arms a little, spotting the Gryffindor girl from before. This was totally a smart move. Put all the attention on them! Though granted, how else was he going to get the girl's attention. "HEY! I'm open!"

LANCE WAS OPEN...SURE, sure she didn’t know him but Sha knew him and that made him cool. ALSO he was open so that was perfect. With a little nod Mel tossed the ball as hard as she could so he could catch it and maybe hopefully keep Gryffindor at least in the running…or well, in the same level as they were before.
And the ball was in the air – she just hoped it worked. That he caught it and it wasn’t intercepted…not that it seemed like people were paying attention to her…the fools.

One second he had a clear path to take a shot off to Amur... and the next second he was being attacked by the Head Girl.
... he could hardly blame her though.
Chuckling, he maintained his grip on the ball with one hand tucking it under his elbow, but struggled somewhat under Tia's weight - not that she was heavy, she wasn't, the lack of gravity thing helped with that too. But no, he was losing his balance and petering over onto his side, effectively taking her with him. His free arm gripped hers. If she was taking him down, he would take her with him.
"If you wanted to hug me, all you had to do was ask," he smirked in the process, because LULZ, she must have just wanted to touch him. He still had the ball.

Whoah the middle platform is empty!
Tenacius just kept bounce floating looking to defend his house' platform
Hey wait... Is that little blur Ariadne?
"Not today Ariadne" Tenacius hollered laughing, going after the Slytherin brunette just as he heard her team mate asking for the pass.
