HOOK.
Toby JUMPED and jolted backwards in his seat when the HOOK pierced the desk between he and Soph. Yet again, he watched with wide eyes as Airey, no... the Captain gave them their sentence (more plank-walking... uh...) and gave them a grade. For a brief moment Toby forgot all about what was happening and squinted at the large F on his parchment. "But we don't have F gra-..." Uh. Yeah. Not really the time, Tobes. Probably best to focus on the fact that he'd just been sentenced to walking the PLANK. "Nevermind."
Any other time, if Toby had been reprimanded by a professor, it might have ruined him for the rest of the day. But right now...? Airey wasn't Airey, and maybe if the man had broken character to shout at him he'd have gotten upset, but right now it just felt like a really WEIRD dream. ESPECIALLY since the lesson was still going on and all. Man. Toby's brain hurt. This was so confusing. He didn't answer the question asked, even though he thought it was probably something to do with... zero gravity and floaty food getting all mixed up in machinery. Maybe.
Then there was the order to eat what they'd been given, and Toby looked around the room to see if everyone was doing s-... wait. WAIT. NO. THAT WAS ICE CREAM. NO NO NO.
He turned his head very quickly to see Soph fiddling with the wrapper, and acted without even thinking. "NO!" Toby exclaimed, his voice sounding like a mixture between a yelp and a cry of alarm as he reached out and BATTED THE ICE CREAM THING out of her hands. As for his own, he quickly flung that away too, looking almost frightful. Don't freak out, Tobes. "Don'teattheicecream!" That went for EVERYONE.
One major thing Toby had learnt in all his years at Hogwarts: Don't eat the ice cream. Soph was peeking between her writing and Toby, trying to gauge his reaction to it and further express her concerns about where the REAL Flamsteed was throughout this whole Hook... possession... curse thing, when the BANG! of the hook striking the table made her jump. And Soph just stared blankly up at Hook!Flamsteed. Walk... the plank? Ha!
"We actually weren't whispering, Captain. We hadn't spoken at all. And, if we're being technical, there was no passing of notes, as this parchment stayed right here," she patted its spot on the table, "this whole time." Her tone was calm - she was very polite and matter-of-fact about informing him of what was going on. And what... kind of grade was an 'F'? Was this guy crazy? Maybe Flamsteed WASN'T in there, then - he would have known better. "I'd rather think subtly writing to each other is more polite than whispering. Captain." Merlin, she hoped Flamsteed wouldn't remember this when he was back to normal.
She offered Tobes a helpless kind of shrug, though, and briefly wondered if one of them should go get another professor so they could SEE what was happening. She figured no one would believe her unless they saw the state he was in for themselves, but... Hook WAS still going along and reading the points of today's lesson, so... despite... all the distractions, there WAS still learning that could happen.
So. She'd wait it out for now.
People were yelling, though, which was a bigger cause for concern - everyone seemed to be reacting to the fiasco differently, where some were entirely disinterested and others were riled up. Soph watched the show, reaching for the snack in front of them and figuring it was safe to eat since Hook!Flamsteed had just devoured his - aaaaand it went flying from her hand across the room. She looked at Toby a bit incredulously, but ended up laughing softly, understanding his thought process. Right. His... fear of ice cream. "Sorry." Though she thought ice cream in a package like that was probably NOT harmful. But maybe she just trusted Flamsteed - the one in his right mind - too easily.
She tried to take some notes on what Hook!Flamsteed was telling them - she figured they would still probably be tested on it at one point or another - but eventually she abandoned taking actual notes to write another thing to Tobes in the corner of her parchment: Dare ya to make ticking noises.
