 Post #1 - Autumn. Mod Babysitter | be curious, not judgmental
Only on occasion were Flamsteed's theatrics a little underwhelming, so she shouldn't have been surprised when super cool things happened. Like now, when he made a BUNCH of cool things happen around the room that led to a pendulum hanging in the center of the classroom. Sophie approved, and she would've clapped for him if it had been appropriate. But, y'know, no one else was clapping, so she resisted. She appreciated the man's pizzazz, though.
Upon standing, Sophie instinctively moved toward Tobes, still intently listening to directions. Huh. It was a cool concept - and even cooler was the bubble they got to be in. Ha! They were so big, though - how were they going to navigate without bumping into each other? But... one full circle around the "sun" sounded totally easy, right?
The third year hung back in her own little bubble, letting the eager ones take off and try their hand at avoiding the pendulum and each other. They were all bouncing into each other and some were bouncing all the way back to where she was - to be honest, it was pretty good entertainment. She'd rather stay standing off next to the barrier than jump in and get whacked into by some careless first years.
...Or Flamsteed, for that matter, as the man had just taken off like a lunatic. He seemed to be enjoying himself, though, and Sophie laughed, following off to the side of the man's path and giggling while the wind picked up and crisp red and yellow leaves fell over her. It even smelled like autumn. Ugh. Too cool. She was just walking for now, side-eyeing the pendulum's motion, and when it came around, she side-stepped out of the way quickly - only to narrowly avoid bumping into someone, which made her pick up her speed to a light jog, her hands out in front of her to steady herself as she got used to running in the bubble.
Just then, the wind picked up and someone right in front of her got slammed into by someone - or something - and went flying right toward her, and she got bumped and sent toward the barrier - she ran with the groove of the costume, though, and didn't completely fall over and make herself look like a fool. She was totally in control.
...For now, she took the outside route near the barrier and used the windy autumn weather inside her bubble to motivate her to get to winter.
