 Post #1 Planet #1 ... fail ½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf
Boring... boring... and boring... is what he heard, so he'd kept doodling.
When it seemed discussion and theory would be coming to an end, and they'd be flinging marbles at planets though, Zeke was very visibly alert. THIS is what he was born for. Destroying planets, or at least, impacting them in one form or another. With his parchment and quill roughly shoved back into his bag, Zeke followed Flamsteed's instructions and wriggled free from his seat, pushing his desk out of the way. Weeeeeee.
He liked this floating thing. He liked the sound of the activity more.
Already his gaze lingered on the sandy 'planets' and as he inspected the draw-string bag and its contents as it had been levitated to him. Brilliant. He rolled a couple of marbles around in his fingers, the red was nice.
Upon the 'Admiral's' instruction to 'engage' Zeke dropped one of the marbles back into the bag, and shoved it into his pocket, with the marble he was still holding, he positioned it above his wand, wondering HOW on earth this would work. It seemed easy enough, but looks could be deceiving. At any rate, what was the worst that could happen?
..
"Tikalas," he recited as he pulled back the marble from his wand, a faint gold band connecting them, and then he let go, propelling it into the air and WAY short of his target - the first planet... and a little too far to the left of it too.
At least now he knew how it felt.
