A quick glance out the window showed him that it was high time to move on. Clapping his hands together to get the student’s attention he said "Right, can everyone take out their telescopes? It’s a perfect night to look at mercury so set up your telescopes in front of the windows and see if you can pin point mercury."
OCC: The next task is to RP taking out your characters telescope, and trying to find mercury in the sky. If your student didn’t bring a telescope then feel free to RP claiming one from the cupboard. Feel free to be as successful or not as you want with finding the planet. I don’t mind if you partner up either. Have fun with it! I will teach a spell to focus the telescope lens in my next post.
Oh yeah, that's right people, take note... Marie mentioned something no one else did. It wasn't very often something like that happened so yeah, she was gloating just a bit.
Oh crud. Now they had to try and find one of the planets? Looks like gloating time was over. It was one thing to answer something that had been read in a book, but now she had to actually try and find one of those planets, and not just any planet either... it had to be the smallest of them all now didn't it.
Going over to the cupboard she grabbed one of the telescopes from there. Why should she lug one of those things to and from class when there were some in the room they could use.
Setting the telescope up on the ledge of a vacant window she looked through it only to see nothing but blackness. Well that wasn't what she was looking for.
Adjusting the scope a little and moving it slightly to the right she found something. It was huge, white and not so bright. It was... the moon. Again, not what she was looking for.
