Or perhaps it was Rachel the girl her own best friend had outed to have a crush on him which made things awkward. She briefly glanced at her friend as if to check if it was alright before realizing it was just partnering for a class.

Clearly fine and simple.

“Olivia…” she said retrieving her bag and moving closer. “Olivia Stone,” she added accepting his offered hand to shake. And seeing as his spot in the back was clearer of people, Olivia supposed that was where they should be working.

Wasn’t this going to be fun?

“The elixir is one I made. It is not harmful in any way. Well… not actually harmful. It was designed to mimic the effect of a common poison. BUT it is a very diluted mixture. So, you won’t… you won’t uhh… die.” He cleared his throat again. He didn’t mean to say that. “One of you will ingest a few drops of this, and the other will brew an antidote to common poisons!” He had thought it was a good way to ease the students back into the rhythm of classes. A nice simple potion.

“You don’t need to worry about ingredients, I’ve got them all here.” He had a selection of Bezoars, standard ingredient, unicorn horns, and mistletoe berries. “When you’re ready, decide amongst yourselves which of you will be going first at brewing the potion, then when each of you have done that, we will swap!” He went to the blackboard behind him and wrote, with chalk;
He looked around and, just in case other students hadn't managed to find a pair, he added "If you're still looking for a partner, just uhhh.. r-raise your hand and I can pair you up." Though history reminded him that people didn't like it when the Professor paired people up.


OOC: Okay, so again, this isn’t a poison. It will just give you some mild side effects such as dizziness (please no fainting), drowsiness, slight headache, stomach ache, nausea/vomiting, coughing, sore joints, thirstiness, blurred vision, slight behavioural changes (crankiness, restlessness, irritability, or even euphoria and giggles… + any other mild behavioural changes you would like to RP), and any other MILD general side effects you would like to RP. You can have as few or as little side effects as you want to RP – I just hope you have fun with it! But nothing serious! No fainting, no dying etc.

Drinkers – RP your charactes coming up and getting a sample of the elixir from Professor Newton. It will only be a teaspoon in size, and he will give it to you in a little cup. Please don’t drink it until I post again.

Brewers – RP your characters coming up and getting the ingredients.

My next post will be the first few steps, where we will all get started. I’ll be posting again in 24ish hours. In the mean time, you can chat amongst yourselves, deciding who will go first, expressing your concerns, or excitement etc.


THEY WERE GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!

Just kidding, David didn't mind. Er, he didn't mind drinking common poison, because that certainly made the task of brewing the antidote more challenging and fun. He glanced at Olivia, whose hand he had had just shaken and whom he had of course escorted over to his lab station, to try to gauge her thoughts on poison. David had to stop studying her so that he could jot down the list of ingredients, but then he turned back, stiffly, toward his partner. He did offer her a small, very small smile as he asked politely:

"Would you rather drink or brew?"
