SPOILER!!: Chris ^^ we didn't RP dodging though....

PREPARE FOR LUDICROUS RAMMING SPEED!

Wait....what?

Much to the astronomer's dismay, he whizzed right past the seventh year without so much as grazing him.

Lame.

SPOILER!!: Penelope & Jasmine <3

Yes. Good. This was good. Very good.

Flashing the older Ravenclaw an appreciative smile, along with a salute that was meant for both of them, he figured it was best to leave the girls be. He himself was not claustrophobic, one of the few phobias he did not have on his long list of fears, but he could imagine what it felt like.

This was reminding him of the flying activity over the lake where, well, there were students who could not swim. WE PROMISE WE ARE NOT TRYING TO KILL STUDENTS!

Not on purpose anyway. Even if the man had a somewhat dodgy track record with things. Ice cream included.

"NOPE! NOT ALLOWED!" Airey chimed as he whizzed by the Hufflepuff. "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BREAK YOUR BUTT OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER!"

And the astronomer was gone before he could see the nosebleed, which was probably in everyone's best interest.

At least, until she felt something land on her head. Reaching up, she discovered it was... Bird poop? YUCKEWWWWWWW. She flailed around a bit, and then had to forget about that to roll out of the way of the pendulum. Great. Just great.

Snow no longer blowing in his face, the astronomer could feel the inside of his ball warming up and soon it was filled with the smell of daffodils and tulips. Grinning, he decided to slow down a little so that he could enjoy the gentle breeze that seemed to wrap around him when he spotted something HILARIOUS occur in one of the 'planets' near him.

"Look alive, Miss McAlister, it's only a bit of OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SWEET SOLSTICE!"

His laughter and amusement ceased quite suddenly when the the magical bird seemingly hopped from one costume to the other and shared the wealth, so to speak.

"MY SUIT!"

THERE WAS BIRD DOO-DOO ON HIS SUIT!

This man had some serious dodging skills....either that he had lots of experience being inside this costume. Since the latter sounded almost ridiculous, Cris decided to go with the former. Well at least, that was one collision averted. Cris had actually visualized both of them slamming into each other like two large Sumo wrestlers and then bouncing off on impact. Not relishing the idea of going back a couple of seasons especially Summer, Cris began running forward again while keeping a close watch on the swinging pendulum...which was again heading towards him. However, he was prepared now. Maneuvering his costume in a forward momentum, he only made a slight adjustment to the right as he watched the pendulum swing past, missing him entirely. Autumn, here I come! PREPARE FOR LUDICROUS RAMMING SPEED! Wait....what? Much to the astronomer's dismay, he whizzed right past the seventh year without so much as grazing him. Lame.

As she was pondering whether or not to opt out of the activity, Jasmine rolled up alongside her. Penelope looked at Jasmine, took a few deep breaths, stopped crying, and calmed down a little. "Jasmine, I'm claustrophobic. I'm not sure if I want to stay inside this thing," Penelope said. Having calmed down, Penelope thought about it some more. "I think I'll try to finish the activity, and follow you." Quote: Originally Posted by Daydreamer11 Jasmine was glad that Penelope had calmed down a little bit. She could only imagine how horrible it must be in the bubble for a claustrophobic person. "It's going to be O.K. I won't leave you. You've got to keep breathing and keep your eyes on me, only on me O.K? If I yell for you to stop, you stop. If I say move, you move. Remember to look at me and don't pay attention to the bubble. Pretend that you're outside enjoying the seasons." Jasmine started walking, trying to keep one eye on Penelope and the other on the pendulum and her classmates. All they had to do was keep walking and avoid getting hit. Yes. Good. This was good. Very good.
