Yes, they were supposed to be starting on this fire thing. We understood the directions from Professor, it seemed that most lions felt like repeating it. Although, Tag wasn't against Alice's plan. It would make things go faster. But then Penelope had a point to the whole muggle side of things so he just shrugged in agreement to her.
Wood and rocks were exactly what they needed. Yes, thank you people. Tag didn't feel like doing too much talking today but he went over to Penelope's side and began sorting out through the wood. Grabbing the real big ones and putting it in the pile that Penelope had already started.
"I say, though, once we put the wood in placement, we should go longest/biggest wood first and then go smaller and smaller?" Maybe an idea. Make things slightly easier. If other people had different ideas than he wouldn't be opposed to them. Quote:

And... she should probably know their names but... yeah. She didn't.
"So. Yeah. Rocks first. We need to build a circle to contain the fire. Then a small pile of kindling in the center." You know... to get the party started.
"And I call dibs on starting the pyramid after. Balancing the first few sticks is my favorite part." And nobody was taking that from her. No sir.
She then clapped her hands together and grinned at the gathered lions. "Alright then people. Pick a job. Grab rocks or kindling or larger sticks."
Or make your boyfriend do it. That was her plan. She batted her eyes at Jake. More wood pleaaaaase. Quote:

Alice got looks from her for suggesting the incendio. The same look the foreign students got. It was like Anya said, this was meant to be like a muggle class. As much as it pained her they couldn't use magic.
She'd offered to get the rocks but Schuyler had already taken care of that bit and they were already gathering the wood. Anya wanted to do the whole first few sticks thing so Lex decided she'd just help Schuyler with the rocks to start the base forming or WHATEVER it was they were doing.
Alexa started on the opposite side. "How big are we making this? Big enough for all of us while being too small to share with anyone else?" Yes, she liked this idea. Lions only. Nothing personal, it was just a thing.
She tried laying the rocks are evenly in the circle as possible. Had to make it just right for the sticks. Quote:

Oh. Okay. Orders. "I'll help with the rocks." Tessa offered with a feeble smile. She was still a bit confused on what they were going to be doing but decided she'd take it one bit at a time. What were they doing with the rocks again? Quote:

"We already did start," she informed the Karina girl from the common room. Did she not see that? People were gathering rocks and sticks and doing stuff with them and whatnot.
Not Alice, obviously.
What next? Quote:

He nudged a few sticks with his toe and wondered if he could do this while not talking. In English at least. Quote:

Alice nearly earned a glare when she mentioned cheating.Sarah would never cheat and she thought better of captain then being a cheater. In the end Sarah did not give that glare, rather keeping her thoughts to herself.
Then Anya began, Sarah was glad. She really wanted to get a move on with this, and her mates needed direction. Yet at the same time she did not want to be seen as bossy. So when Anya began with directions, Sarah felt relieved. "I'll do whatever is required..." she said. IN fact she could probably do all. She began to gather rocks, Quote:
Originally Posted by Syd Yes, Anya, Jake caught that look. He stood up again and went to grab more firewood. With his arms full he returned to the group and set the wood on the floor. He glanced over the instructions again before setting the parchment down and looking at the rocks. "Don't make a ring of rocks if there isn't one already there," he read. He looked up at the group around him.
"So, we should just-" He started to say, but no sound came out. He frowned and cleared his throat, again making no sound. "We should just-" Nope. Nothing. His eyes widened then immediately went to look at Anya. Could you just lose your voice like that? Was it a medical thing? She'd know. Right?
... "Help?" Silence. Penelope only half-listened as people kept talking since she was already focused on getting this wood sorted. Tag seemed to have decided to join her, but the others were all talking or setting out the rocks, so this wood needed to get sorted out so it'd be easier to put the kindling down or the ones for the pyramid or whatever else those instructions said.
She moved on to sorting out the smaller-sized wood twigs and stuff since Tag could probably handle the rest of the big ones just fine, and she glanced up then to see what the others were doing and noticed some people not really helping much. Like Alice, who was saying something about starting. Penelope chucked a small piece of wood at her foot. "Yeah, so start, Captain. Stop being lazy." She grinned as she said it, so it should be clear she wasn't mad or super serious or anything. But seriously, Cap'n needed to get off her lazy bum and participate.
