Cow?

0_______o

"Uhh what cow?" she asked a little perplexed. How on earth had the boy come to the conclusion of... cow... in the incantation? Chaudensis... there was nothing cow-like about it at all.

"Chaudensis dear... chaw-den-sis."

Well on the whole it looked as though the students were getting along quite nicely. While they continued practicing the wand movement, Seren summoned a box of goggles--because you could never be too safe, and another small cart of watering cans.

Right, gloves, goggles, cans, pots, soil... SEEDS!

Feeling around in her robes pocket, she plucked out an old silver tin and screwed the top off. Inside where the fire seeds, all hot and red hissed a little as it met more oxygen.

"Alright everyone, I trust you all have your notes ready.." and that they were paying attention.

"First things first, you must perform the charm on your pot... now you will know if it has worked because you will feel the sides begin to warm, it wont be hot, just warm to the touch. Then come up and get your materials and follow the instructions on the board."

Simple, yes?

Tapping her wand on the blackboard once more, another line appeared beneath he instructions.

"So everyone come and claim a pot and goggles and get started. ONLY come for your seed when you need it."

"Also should you wish to mark your pot for whatever reason, feel free to do so." ... because she expected at least SOME of them to visit their seedling as it grew.

OOC: To be eligible for full participation marks you need to complete this activity following the following rules:

[1] This must be done in 5 posts, no more, no less.
[2] Do NOT double post.
[3] Title each post with which number you are up to. i.e. #1 ... #2 etc etc
[4] If you require Bentley's assistance write Bentley in the title as well, i.e. #3 Bentley! ...
[5] Have fun, remember you have gloves and goggles so you shouldn't get hurt. If you do you will be asked to leave the class to see the nurse and therefore miss out on the rest of the activity.

Vlimia cleared her notes away and into her pocket, which was not all that easy to manage while wearing gloves. Somehow she did it, and quickly copied down the steps in her journal.

SPOILER!!: Her Journal

Vlim went and got her pot. She wondered if she should mark it. Vlimia decided to, and wrote her name on the pot with erasable ink. With her pot now marked, Vlimia started on the first step. "Chaw-den-sis." She said, moving her wand like the proffesor had shown them. When she was done, Vlimia felt the sides of her pot. They were starting to get warmer! Vlim could have jumped for joy, but she didn't. She simply grinned for joy. Vlimia took her gloves off the pot, thinking that the dragonskin might stick to it or something. Then again, a dragon's skin would probably be unscathed by heat, seeing as dragons breathed fire. Oh well, one never could be too careful. Vlimia crossed out the first step contentedly, thinking about how hard it would be to write with sticky gloves on.

SPOILER!!: Her Journal 1. Charm pot to heat itself. 2. Fill half of pot up with soil and let it rest for several minutes to warm up. 3. Carefully take a single fire seed with dragon hide gloves and place on top of the soil. 4. Cover fire seed with soil, so that pot is filled. Pat the soil down a little (not too much, you don't want to suffocate it). 5. Water the fire seed with boiling water, without drowning it. For boiling water, add water (via aguamenti) to the watering can and heat it. This will ensure you 1. Control temperature 2. Don't over water your seed. Use VERY small amount, simply enough to moisten the soil. Vlim went and got her pot. She wondered if she should mark it. Vlimia decided to, and wrote her name on the pot with erasable ink.
