"Poor diction is bad form will not be tolerated," he sneered at the one Lost Girl (ScarletCharm104), whose response may as well have been in a foreign tongue as far as his ears were concerned. "As for the rest of you," he continued, arm haphazardly waving to the rest who had spoken. "You are all on par with what is written here on this parchment, so I hope everyone was practicing good form and paying attention." If not, then too bad. For he was a busy man and would not repeat. "The first meal in space was had by Yuri Gagarin, who ate three 160 gram toothpaste-type tubes containing two servings of puréed meat and one of chocolate sauce. As said by some of you, these toothpaste tubes were used because astronauts could squeeze the food directly into their mouths and not worry about their food floating away due to the zero gravity and potentially causing serious damage to the equipment on-board." His eyes flicked towards his prisoner in the back of the room and a smirk spread across his bearded features - a beard that still had some of the spit out mint ice cream foam stuck to it, by the way.

"The ice cream you have been savoring..." or SOME had anyway. "Is freeze dried ice cream." He continued to read from the parchment as he made his way towards the back of the room. "Dehydrated foods weigh significantly less than those that are not and even nowadays food is either partially or completely dehydrated to prevent them from spoiling. Astronauts need to add water to the majority of their foods to eat it, and it is important to note that this water is oftentimes recycled water from..." He paused his reading and made a noise reminiscent of a parrot being strangled. "...waste waters from urine, from oral hygiene and hand washing, and by condensing humidity from the air...including the air breathed out by the crew."

THAT SOUNDED ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! WHY WOULD ANYONE WISH TO GO INTO THIS PLACE CALLED SPACE AND ENDURE THAT?!

"It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to rehydrate and heat an average meal. Once this is accomplished... astronauts must also attach their individual food containers to a food tray with fabric fasteners. The tray itself connects either to the wall or to the astronauts' laps to prevent their food from floating away due to the zero gravity environment. So aren't you all glad for gravity?"

Whoever wrote this was a pathetic excuse for a gentleman. This handwriting was awful!

"BUT HERE IN NEVERLAND WE DO NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THIS PETTY THING CALLED GRAVITY, FOR WE HAVE PIXIE DUST!" he exclaimed as he removed the cage from the wall holding Tinker Bell (Professor Flamsteed's pet rock dressed up as the fairy and had been that way since Halloween). "BEHOLD!" he said triumphantly as he removed the fairy from her prison. "JUST THINK A HAPPY THOUGHT, assuming such a thing exists in your feeble minds, AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ZERO GRAVITY SITUATION RIGHT HERE!" He then pulled his arm back as though he were about to throw the fairy. "As she flies across the room and covers everyone and everything in pixie dust, do not be surprised if your tables and the food upon it floats as well. Just like this space place! You are allowed to eat ONE food item to experience what it is like to be one of these....astronaut beings. After, you are to float back down to your seat and SIT. ARE WE CLEAR?"

GOOD.

He then shook the fairy (the rock) over his head and threw her across the room with a menacing laugh that echoed throughout the area. The rock zoomed passed everyone - not hitting a single person in the head or any other limb - and went crashing into the chalk board and knocked it over completely with a loud CRASH.

Meanwhile, the Captain was thinking of the only happy thought he had and laughing even more crazily as he flapped his arms. "HAHA! YOU AREN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FLY, PETER PAN! I'LL GET YOU YET!"

But, to keep with good form he flew towards one of the food strands and plucked a floating peach out of the air (aka he walked somewhat airily while flapping his arms towards the fruit stand and picked up a peach) which he then began to eat.

OOC: I am SO SO SO SO SOOOOOO sorry for the delay. I did not imagine it would take me this long to post again, but you guys just give me SO much to play off of and dsfjdlfksjslskj <3

This is sort of a mini activity and you need at least 1 post to complete. Just to clarify, Pebbles (the dressed up rock) is not really Tinker Bell and there is no real fairy dust being spread about. So please do not RP things literally floating upwards or your characters flying about the classroom like a bird.

OF COURSE your characters can react to "Professor Flamsteed's" actions however you see fit. And no, nothing bad will happen if your character eats any of the food - but we suggest staying away from raw meat for obvious reasons

Thank you all for your patience and creative RPing! <33 and for putting up with me :|

if you are curious about water recycling in space, this is a good read.

Toothpaste like containers? Okay, all she was thinking about now was beef coming out of a toothpaste tube. And while the kid would eat anything, that was NOT anything. Sorry, but toothpaste meat sounded like a bad name for a metal band. And Ophelia didn't DO metal bands. Her friend Caelen showed her a single metal album from long ago and all it did was give half the people in the house a migrane. Which was to say that Ophelia kept it for biological warfare. Maybe the little twerp was more evil than she let on. Well, when you were the younger sister, you kind of had to be. So she would be good in a war or something. Except for teh actual war part.

.............

Okay, and the blonde thought HER family had lost it! What was this Professor even talking about? Had the first year spaced out for too long? First Maleficent and then This French kid was apparently Aladdin and now Professor Flamsteed was Captain Hook or something? It was entertaining, that wasn't a lie, but it was also a little strange, and more than a little confusing. There was a kid in a cage. And rock Tinkerbell. And bad... form? What did that even mean? And why did people have to walk the plank/ jump out the window? Because that sounded dangerous. Like really dangerous. She would protect her fellow students, even if she WAS about five foot even. Ummmmm.

But this was weird, right? It was hard to tell as a first year, and this was only her second astonomy lesson. Waaaay too early in the year or a full scale mutiny! If that was EVEN happening? possibly? She was just getting used to his eccentric ways, like jumping on desks and shouting, and now it was like all of that and a bag of chips. Weird muggle phrases. Ewww. Ophelia couldn't stand those, but her mom insisted on teaching them and her having to learn them.

This all felt like standing in the middle of an argument between her two fastest talking siblings. The blonde was stuck with her head whipping back and forth to catch up and wondering what in the exact heck was going on. Someone was in a cage and her favorite professor so far was yelling about bad form. At least they had the notes? Quickly scribbling everything down, the brown eyed girl watched a student yelling about the person in the cage. Yeah, letting her out was probably a good idea.
Could they do that? Let the poor person out? Because that was probably NOT the best idea? Uggh, maybe she should brush up on her fairytales to actually understand what these people were TALKING about. She hated missing things, and that was all the eleven year old felt like she was doing. Missing things between people.

And rock Tinkerbell was literally the kookiest thing she had ever seen. And it was amazing. Nothing like this EVER happened at home. Which was why she liked this place. It was sooo much more fun and soo much more suited to someone like her. Someone who liked moving and being around other people and kookiness and.... this place was just SOOO COOL! Slapping her palm over her mouth, the eleven year old giggled slightly at their more than eccentric professor.

Also, flying? Because she was pretty sure they ha stuff for that? Unless he actually HAD pixie dust. Because pixies were apparently real, and if he collected their dust, theoretically, she would be on board. But that raised another question. Trying to pick her words carefully, her hand went into the air.

"Profess-er- Captain? How do you GET dust from a pixie, anyway? Theoretically of course, since we have other stuff, but how would that work?" Yes, she was kind of egging him on, but whatever. What could possibly go wrong besides what already had?
