"Now as we discussed last night, the Norandola has the ability to change it's appearance. No two plants look alike... except for when they're under the influence of the Moon." She indicated to the two bushes which looked remarkably different than the night before.
"As you can see, if you look close enough, the beans have formed where the silver crescents were. One of the advantages of the Norandola is that the beans form within a matter of hours, though this only happens during the Full Moon."
Looking down, Seren noticed that Caltex had wandered from his post in front of the bushes, instead choosing to roll and rub himself against an insect of some description.
Turning back to the class, she continued. "Today you will each be imprinting a part of yourself onto a Norandola bean, and you will be planting it into these pots." Yes, that's right, they all got to have super cool plants that resembled them. "So if you've ever wandered what you would look like as a plant, you'll soon find out." More or less.
"But before we get to the beans, you need to prepare your pots. Start by checking to see if your pot has sufficient drainage. You'll know if it does if the pot has four holes in the bottom of it. I know that some of these pots only have three... if that is the case, you need to come up and get yourself a handful of pebbles to place in the bottom of the pot."
She took up a small sack which contained small grey pebbles and placed it on a spare desk at the front.
"Fill your pot with soil and make a hole in the center with your finger."
OOC: The lesson has officially started so do not announce your late arrival, just pretend as if you've been here the whole time. The lesson will continue in approximately 12 hours. The attempt at replying to her in French brought a grin to Stella's face. It wasn't so much that Professor Bentley hadn't said it right, but the blended accent was the slightest bit amusing. She'd turned her attention back to her pot and soil, though, not wanting to be too distracted from the lesson. Even though others had greeted the puppy as well, she didn't want to rush the poor creature. It was easier to just give the puppy another smile, and then head back to her station. Especially as the class discussion had begun not long after she’d sat back down. So their discussion the night before was just being verified, as she could definitely see the difference in the Norandola bushes. Both between the two and compared to what they’d looked like before. She wasn’t quite about to look closer, though. Looking at them from her seat was good enough, although her interest piqued as they were told they were going to imprint themselves on the beans.
She didn’t exactly know how that would come about, but she figured they’d get the process explained soon enough. It wasn’t worth sounding stupid and asking, at least, so she kept her attention on the steps they’d already been given. Checking their pots, getting them ready for planting. Tilting her chosen pot to one side, she glanced at the bottom and counted the holes. Four, she thought, relieved. It wouldn’t have been that much harder to go back and get pebbles, like several others had, but she was still glad she didn’t have to. It meant she could move on to the next step that much quicker, after all. Shifting her attention to the bucket of soil, she transferred it to the pot until it was full, then poked her finger into the center and wiggled it around slightly to create a hole. She assumed that was where they’d be putting their imprinted bean, but she waited for the next step to be given, looking up as Kurumi had asked about the two existing bushes.
