Promising himself that he would seek out Mr. Atreyu in the common room later - he would have said after class, but that time was now dedicated to speaking with Mr. Toby and Miss Brown - Airey had opted for hanging towards the back of the classroom rather than sitting at the professor's desk. Pacing back and forth while he helped his colleagues transfigure and enchant the classroom to look like a misty forest, he watched students practice the spell that would become vital in just few minutes, the Astronomy professor squinted at a few nearby students and couldn't help but smirk.

Judging from the hair that the majority of students were now growing all over, that time was sooner than later.

Clearing his throat as the finishing touches were made, the astronomer mad his way back to the front of the classroom and clapped his hands together loudly. "ALRIGHT! Time to put your practice to use!" he announced, barely able to contain his laughter as he levitated some more sweets from the box and handed them out to every student. The candies, a faint blue in color to mimic the color of smoke for the Wolfsbane potion, may have looked familiar to those in the muggle know and were a personal favorite of both Professor Dakest and Professor Flamsteed: Pop Rocks.

Once all the candies had been distributed in their clear drawstring bags, including some for the professors, the astronomer moved to stand by his colleagues. "Each of you will be given the chance to practice safely restraining someone who has transformed into a werewolf. Sort of." He threw an especially amused glance towards Cosgrash for assisting him with this complicated preparation. "There will be two teams, werewolves and trappers. Just who will be on what team to start? Well...that has already been decided. The Oreo cookies most of you ingested have been modified with a potion to change the drinker into a werewolf-LIKE state. Meaning that," he paused to point at most of the students. "...you will grow fur and sport a charming pair of canine teeth while showing MILD aggression and a MILD increase in agility and speed to your movements but also remain fully aware that you are yourself. Know that this potion is very weak and completely harmless."

Sweet solstice they were not trying to poison anyone. Just giving them a real inside look into what it was like to actually BE a werewolf and lose control over ones actions, therefore giving this activity a double purpose.

"Those of you who did not eat the cream inside the cookies, you will not notice these changes on your person and will start out the activity as trappers. Trappers are to use the methods and techniques Professor Dakest described to try and detain your werewolf classmates and administer this cure," he continued, waving the little bag of blueish Pop Rocks in his hand. "As was explained Manus invisiibilis allows for mouth and jaw mobility, so one you have your classmate trapped, you can give them a couple of these fizzing muggle candies to change them back to their human form and join Team Trapper. A reminder that Wolfsbane potion will not do this in real life, giving it to a werewolf after the fact. This is purely for illustrative purposes."

Symbolism and metaphors and all that fancy talk.

"Werewolves, you CAN turn trappers into werewolves by two handed touch," he nodded towards all the fury students. Little perk of that whole ordeal that had happened with Old Man River a few terms back. "I reiterate, the ingested potion and you all switching back and forth between these two 'forms' is HARMLESS and COMPLETELY safe."

Mist seemingly growing in the classroom, shrouding all three professors in a grey haze and making it a little more difficult for students to see each other, the transformation of the classroom was now complete and could have easily been mistaken for some of the deeper quarters of the Forbidden Forest with the light from the full moon still flooding through the classroom windows to help create an extra eerie atmosphere.

"ENGAGE!" the astronomer announced, his voice coming from some unknown direction. Which, as students who participated in his lessons knew, meant that the game had begun!

Now...which student should he target first...hmmmmmm...

OOC:
▸ All students start as “werewolves” and professors plus those listed below will be “trappers”

According to our stalking, Felixir, feeheeheeny, Holmesian Feline, Harry174, and VRSCIKA are the only ones who did not eat the cream, meaning that EVERYONE else are now werewolves. If we have missed you or listed you here by mistake, our apologies as it was not intentional.

▸ the potion that has “transformed” you into a werewolf is VERY weak and will only cause MILD aggression and a MILD increase in agility and speed to your movements. You will, however, become hairy all over and have a charming set of canine teeth.
▸ werewolves CAN transform trappers into werewolves by physical touching a trapper. NOT BY BITING.
▸ “trappers” can cure a “werewolf” by successfully binding and restraining a “werewolf”, and administering the candy (Pop Rocks), which will dissolve instantly within the “werewolf’s” mouth.
Note: the most effective way is through use of the newly learned spell, manus invisibilis, however please do feel free to be creative. Other methods of restraint as discussed may be utilized. “Werewolves”, please accept the candy once restraint/capture has been successful. Please be realistic.
▸ No, you cannot cure yourself by eating the candy your character is carrying. Don't be a party pooper!
▸ it takes two posts to cure a “werewolf” : 1 capturing it and 1 administering the cure candy
▸ “trappers” can only RP ONE action per post - casting the spell to capture a werewolf, dodging a werewolf’s attack, and administering the cure to a werewolf.
▸ “werewolves” can only RP ONE action per post - dodging a capture attempt or attacking a “trapper”
▸ overlap WILL happen (IE being attacked while dealing with a restrained werewolf), it would be best if you picked one action to be "successful" - either administering the candy to your classmate or the werewolf's attack). Just use your best judgement and RP realistically <3
▸ If you cast a spell towards someone (trapper) or attempt to touch someone (werewolf), you MAY NOT RP the outcome. That is for the other RPer to decide.
▸ Please be realistic. No superhuman OMG I CANZ DODGE ALL THE SPELLS AND CURE ALL THE WEREWOLVES EVER! sort of RPing please. No one likes a Mary Sue.
▸ you may switch between “trapper” and “werewolf” several times during the activity. There is no limit to how many times, so have fun with this!
▸ if you choose to participate in this activity, please wear the appropriate avatar ::

▸ you do NOT have to have been in the previous parts of this lesson to participate. If you are late joining us, please assume the role of a “werewolf”
▸ you need at least 4 posts to receive full participation credit for this activity
▸ you will have at LEAST 60 hours (2.5 days) to complete this activity
▸ if you have any questions please do not hesitate to send a VM or a PM to one of your professors and we will try to respond as soon as we can
▸ most importantly....HAVE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!
