Now this was an interesting question. "Well it depends on the size of the plant. A fanged geranium won't do you much harm, a snargaluff on the other hand ... "

"Professor, could these plants...err...kill us," Addie asked as she followed the professor to the work stations. Her mum had never made her deal with deadly plants before.

... why were they so scared? Did they not trust her?
"Today, no they won't ... though any other day, they also wouldn't, unless you let them. But that would just be silly."

The girl didn't know what sinew was? Interesting.
"Sinew is the tough fibrous tissue which connects the meat to the bone. Its sort of white and almost fatty and stringy in appearance."

Dragonhide gloves! He had those! Aspen had made sure that they were part of the shopping trip in DA, even though West hadn't been that interested at the time. But NOW he put on his awesome new gloves (which were actually kind of stiff?) and followed along excitedly, wand in his ~~also new~~ holster. He trotted along in her wake.TrottrottrottrotSKIPBOUNCEtrottrottrottrottro t.

He waved his hands at the professor and then popped one up to ask, "Professor Bentley," reverently. Full name. "Is there stuff you can stick on my gloves or a spell or something to make them a bit more flexy? They're real stiff and its hard to move my fingers. On account of they're new."

Seren smiled warmly, this first year was rather on top of things, though it wasn't surprising that he didn't know how to break in his gloves.
"General wear and working with them is best as they will become flexible only where you need them to be, but there's an easy way to speed up the process." Summoning a plastic spray bottle from the stores cupboard, she gave the nozzle a sniff before approaching west. "Hold out your hands," she said, spray bottle at the ready.

"Distilled flobberworm mucus... is extremely useful for improving flexibility for gloves, chilled or numbed plants, eliminating the squeak from doors..."

Not that the Professor couldnt protect them or anything she could! She took out her wand from its holister, yes she loved her wand so she cared for it and put it in her pocket, and followed the Professor still nervous about being eaten...

"They will not hurt you," she assured again.

Though apparently that answer wasn't good enough...

I should get going Oichi crawled out from under the table,put onher dragon hide gloves, and followed the professor further into greenhouse shaking a little. "Uh, professor, I am a bit scared of plants with teeth and other magical plants I have read about. I am rather new to magic, Iam sure you are more then capable as a professor to keep us safe and all but, I just don't know?". Oichi felt overwhelmed, she justwas not comfortable here but did not want to leave for fear of getting into trouble.

"The plants will not hurt you today, they are sedated... so you will be fine, and more to the point I am here." Because she was an expert when it came to flesh eating plants, so if they were going to trust anyone, it would be her.

"Please don't tell me we're brushing a flesh eating plant's teeth?" She asked, quietly. Please say no, please say no, pleaseeeee say no. She pulled her gloves out of her pocket and placed them on her hands. So what were they going to do?

A direct question... and a great lead in to the activity.

"Yes, that will be a part of today's activity..." Because really if that was all, then it wouldn't be much fun.

Scanning the area to make sure nobody was lagging behind, Seren then clapped her hands together. "Right class, today, you will be not only brushing, but also flossing your flesh eating plants teeth. They are sedated, so they will not hurt you. Though should they begin to stir then all you need to do is say my name." And she would be there... obviously.

"First, second and third years, you will be working on the fanged geraniums. There are enough for each of you to have your own, so you will be working individually. You are free to chat and help each other if necessary." She paused before moving on to the rest of the instructions.

"Fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh years... you will be working in pairs on piranha plants. Though they look scary, they're sedated so you'll be fine," she said patting the head of one affectionately. Yes, they looked scary, but they really were darlings, and they only reached waist height.

"At your work stations you will find the implements necessary to carry out the activity."

"Are there any further questions?"

At your workstations you will find the following items:

Fanged Geranium Stations
toothbrush
minty flossing twine

Piranha Plant Stations
bigger toothbrush
minty flossing twine

OOC: You have 2 days to RP brushing and flossing your plants teeth. 1-3 years you're working individually but may chat/help out ... 4-7 years you are working in PAIRS. If you're having trouble finding a partner please contact me.
To be eligible for full participation marks you must RP this activity in no less than 5 posts PER PERSON. HAVE FUN!
