So we're going to play a little game where I will extinguish one of your senses and you will have to use your other four senses to identify a series of seven objects. Ready?"
Without waiting for too much of a disagreement, Josephina pulled on night goggles over her eyes and tossed instant darkness powder into the air, and then removed box one from behind her desk. "Inside this box, which I will pass around and give you all the opportunity to identify it, you can feel inside the box if you wish or just use your sense of smell, or even taste it if you want, as its edible...." With that, she began walking around the room to give them all an opportunity to identify the object. ooc: think about what that object smells and feels like.... and if your character would know it... feel free to be silly with your guesses if your character wouldn't know it... remember you can't see it. They weren't going to break curses? Laaaame. But that was kind of okay with Milton because he wasn't really up for exerting a whole lot of energy that day. He was saving it for the quidditch match!
Wait. Extinguish one of their senses? She could do that? Milton was about to question the legality of extinguishing someone senses (what was she gonna do - chop their ears off?), but then suddenly it was DARK. Milton blinked several times but he couldn't even tell because it was so dark.
After listening carefully to what Hadley was saying, Milton listened to her footsteps until he was pretty sure she was at his table. He kicked his foot out until he felt something that could have possible been Hadley's ankle. Whoops.
"Sorry. It's... dark." Obviously. Milton fumbled around until he found the box and stuck his hand inside.
HMMM. It was... roundish. With a little nob-sort-thing at the top. It was kind of bumpy, too.
"Can I take it out?" he asked, but he did so anyway without waiting for an answer. He used both hands to try and squish it. It was plastic, he assumed because he could kind of squish it. A plastic bottle. He shook it a few times. A plastic bottle with liquid inside! Milton played with the little nob thing on top before figuring out how open it. And Hadley DID say it was edible. Milton assumed it wasn't poisonous because Professor Hadley seemed like a genuinely nice person and poisoning students was something he could only see Professor Lafay doing. So, before even sniffing it (because he was kind of dumb), Milton dropped some of the liquid onto his finger and licked it.
WHEEEEW.
"Ohbooooy!" Milton puckered up his lips and made a >__< face. He slapped the lid back on and tossed the LEMON JUICE bottle back into the box.
"That's just mean." muttermuttergrumble.
