"Rose? Rose, could you help me?" she asked.
Excuse me. Did you not understand my previous posts when I said that just because I am not online to RP doesn't mean that the professor isn't there or is busy? I really don't appreciate you saying my character is busy when I am away, especially after I specifically asked the class at least twice in here, once in my office, and once in the rules NOT to do that.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I don't mind if you talk amongst yourselves while we're brewing the potion if the talk is potions-related and something you think a professor wouldn't mind you doing in class. I do not appreciate having other people RP my character, which includes making him busy or preoccupied. RPing another person's character is an RP faux pas and should be avoided unless you have that person's permission to anticipate their characters actions.

EDIT2: Rave's post just reminded me: I noticed a lot of people trying out their potion and leaving class. Professor Branxton said nothing about trying out your potion when it was done. In fact, he gave no instructions as to what you should do when you are finished. He did answer a question about it and said that if there was time at the end of class, 'we MAY test the potions'. I would really appreciate it if everyone at least attempted to read my posts, even though I know they got lost in the chatter and short posts.

It's also okay to post the brewing of your potion in one long post.

I'm not going to penalize anyone for this stuff since I think most of the people here are first years and aren't really sure how we run things on this site, plus this is all ooc stuff and doesn't affect the RPG at all. This is a learning experience for our characters and our ooc selves so I hope you don't think I'm an ogre for pointing out these things. I'm just trying to make the RP experience fun for everyone. Make sure you check out my classroom rules in the bulletin board thread and you can also check out the School FAQ (click on Rules & FAQ at the top of any page) for more information about the school, how it is run, and for RP tips.
