As he explained the rules she was a bit confused. AJ raised her hand. "Just to be clear professor, we aren't actually going to throw balls at anybody?" Because that was dodge ball to her, but she had to remember that this was the magical world and their idea of things were usually different than hers.

"Not today," he winked. And maybe not even this term, but next term was another story.

Standing off to the side, arms folded across his chest, the professor chuckled like some sort of mad scientist as he watched all the rolling and bumping and colliding that was going on. He was actually half tempted to suit up and join in on the fun.

Hmm....perhaps he would....

Quickly putting on one of the magical planet costumes - he didn't even care that his orbit would be significantly delayed compared to some of the others who had made their way from autumn to winter and some even spring - he rolled himself up to the starting point.

"IIIIIIIIIIIIINCOMING!" he shouted as be took off at warp speed, the autumn leaves that were blowing into his face not fazing him in the least.

And, honestly, he had no intention of completing his orbit. He just wanted to cause some extra havoc

OOC:
Okay, so there is a bit of confusion and I apologize for that so hopefully this will clarify a few things

EVERYONE is start at autumn. To quote the professor: "You all will act as the planets that orbit the sun and, by doing so, will experience each of the four seasons as they would be felt in the Northern Hemisphere. Your costumes have been charmed to reflect these seasonal changes and you will all be starting at our current season of autumn."

Seasonal changes should be in order: autumn to winter to spring to summer. No jumping from winter to summer or anything like that.

Since each of your students will be 'orbiting' at different speeds - not to mention getting hit by classmates and the pendulum - the seasonal changes happen whenever YOU decide they do. There is no rush for this if you are having fun knocking your kid around like a ping pong ball and they get stuck in autumn for a few posts because of it.

So what happens if you made a boo boo? You can edit your post(s) with the correct method (just be sure you put the reason for the edit <3) or you can get knocked SO hard by the pendulum/another person that it sends you back to the start. The choice is yours, but option two sounds more IC fun to meeeeeee

I hope this cleared things up! You guys are doing great
