Lilly had to stay. For the sake of Gryffindor winning the House Cup. And she wasn't going to sit and watch, either, because that wouldn't earn any points. And she wasn't squeamish, it was just the poor little things being cut up and harvested. No. No. No. This was horrible. Not because she was scared of dead plimpies, but because it was HORRIBLE. What would Blue think? Lilly wasn't sure whether the firstie was in the class, but her eyes were glued to the POOR plimpy and she didn't want to look around for anything. She pulled on a pair of old gloves and began to work, keeping her mouth shut so she didn't scream out loud at what was in front of her. Lilly copied what the professor did, gently untangling the creature's little legs and taking a deep breath. After a few minutes, she was finished. Lilly took a deep breath and whispered, "I'm sorry, Plimpy." Then she sat back down and turned her attention to the Professor, awaiting further instructions. |
*catching up* (a bit for Blue in here too) Text Cut: Professor Lafay Stella had been staring at the plimpy on her station in sympathy ever since she'd sat down, half-wondering if it knew what it was in for. She'd noticed when Blue had joined her, at least peripherally, but she'd only given the girl a brief smile before returning to bound creature contemplation. Namely, if it in fact was a plimpy and then if it was dead. Both ideas apparently got verified, as she snapped back into focus to realize she'd missed a question having been asked. Well, at least I know you were a plimpy, and from the black lake. Oh, and that you were dead before you got trapped, she thought, silently communicating with the bound and deceased water creature. At leaest she knew something about it before giving it an unceremonious autopsy and involuntary organ donation. She was honestly surprised that Professor Lafay was giving them the option to back out of the lesson, however, and she looked over at Blue again as if she was silently asking the firstie if she was going to be alright or if she wanted to take the professor up on the offer. The girl had seemed a bit squeamish about it not that long before, as she'd noticed even if she'd tuned out half of the rest of the discussion. She was back now, and no matter how much she wished she wasn't going to be doing it, she wasn't leaving the lesson. She just wanted to make sure her DADA partner wasn't going to faint, as well as wondering if both of them would have to work on the plimpy. Either way, she slid her Potions journal out quietly to take notes on what they were doing. It wasn't exactly brewing, but she had a feeling it was just as important. Text Cut: Stella's Potions journal Once she'd written that down, adding a bit of random plimpy facts she remembered from some CoMC reading she'd done a while ago, she reached over to gently pick up the plimpy's legs. Delicately untangling them as had been demonstrated by the professor, she gently laid them back onto the table. Just because they were going to be harvesting it for its parts didn't mean she had to disrespect the dead. She just also knew better than to disresepct Professor Lafay, too, and the woman already looked to have a bit of a headache. That only meant they'd all have to be that much more careful. |
Oh dear. Poor little pimply, well it wasn't that little but you got the idea. Kaitlyn had been sat near the back of the class watching and waiting, trying to keep her eyes away from the creature on the desk in front of her, but now, she needed to draw her eyes to it. She quickly wrote down the first step inside her potions book, along with information about pimplies. Quote:

"That legs still a little twisted," she said and put her gloves on to twist it around the right way, without Lilly having to touch it again. She would do anything for house points, honestly. Then again, Violet probably would do most things to help Hufflepuff win. Then the girl sat down and waited for further instructions. Likely horrible ones. |
If she was being honest Prue would admit that she was feeling a bit more than slightly squeamish about this entire thing. 'It's dead... it's dead' she kept repeating to herself in her head trying not to seem to distracted. "Get yourself together Prue you did something like this in a muggle school for crying out loud!" she muttered to herself nodding. She wasn't leaving, how could she? That would be going against everything she knew... Oh if only it wouldn't wound her pride. So she remained, perfectly still and refusing to push. Stupid pride... |
Indy wasn't your average girly. Maybe she should've been freaked out at the idea of dissecting an animal. But she really liked Potions, and had messed with more gross stuff. So it wasn't really bothering her that much. Really though, if you had a passion for something, you'd do anything, and Indy really did want to learn everything about potions. So she was kind of dissecting this Plimpy. She looked down at the little thing. It was a little sad that it was dead, but then she'd used dead things in potions before, so it wasn't that bad really. And if she wanted to pass she'd have to dissect it anyway. She was sure Lafay wasn't going to be happy if they all turned into soppy messys about having to dissect this little Plimpy. Okay. She needed to untangle it's legs. Good thing she had little fingers, because she had a feeling that this was going to need a delicate touch. After watching the professor demonstrate, Indy carefully untangled the legs, being careful not to break them off or soemthing. That would be bad. Okay. She was done now. With a smile, she looked up waiting for further instructions. |

He shifted over to peer at what the Hufflepuff was writing, and then he sniggered. "Its not pimply. Its plimpy." So helpful, he was. But that DID make him wonder.... did plimpies get pimples? |
Yikes. This little plimpy's legs were seriously tied together. Ella wrinkled her nose, trying to untie them as gently as she could. "Come on you dead legs, if you'd just come un-" O__O She had done it! The legs were untied! And all without throwing up! SCORE. ...But she was still holding them as they rested lifeless in her hands, the legs that is. EWWW. Gross. Ella let the legs fall gently to the table and shuddered a little, knowing things were only going to get more invasive from this point on. No time to panic though, she needed to be a big girl. |

Instead of thanking him, she narrowed her eyes slightly at him. Then simply to confuse him, she gave him a quick wink. "Whatever," she muttered and turned over a clean page, writing everything out again, in her scruffy handwriting. SPOILER!!: Kat's Potions Book |

Was there something wrong with her EYE? Why was she winking at him? If he wasn't in class West would have right away ASKED if her eye was bung, but instead he just looked to the front of the room as if the professor might have answers about why Hufflepuffs were so.... :whaa: JUST LIKE THE OLDER SLYTHERINS HAD TOLD HIM! ... wait, was he supposed to be taking notes? He looked at his untangled plimpy. NAHHHH. |
ooc: teehee Lee! I've missed playing with you! SPOILER!!: Everyone is staying? Cool! Good. It seemed like everyone was staying in one way or another... though Hollingberry seemed like she may change her mind later... Quote:
"Trust me. Your plimpies are all dead." She had made sure of that last night. "Now." She resumed pointing at her blackboard with her wand and her plimpy floated up to it. "There are many parts to a plimpy... let's begin with the external." http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...xtAnPlimpy.jpg She pointed at each part with her wand and the words would appear on the blackboard by them. "The nares are the nostrils, not for breathing, but for detecting smells. It's how they find food. The eyes obviously or for seeing, and they can see different colors. The fins are used for maintaining position, moving, steering and stopping. The gills are covered by the Opercolum and the mouth obviously is for eating. The scales are the external protection of the plimpy... If you know fish, you know there are four kinds of scales. The scales on a plimpy are the cycloid and ctenoid type. The legs are for walking and when used, they are used whole. Finally the peduncle is the part of the fish that attaches the caudal fin, or tail, to the rest of the body and is used for propulsion." Her plimpy stayed floating in front of the blackboard. "Nares are used in many health potions, including Pepperup potion. Can anyone tell me what other potions these ingredients may be found in and why?" ooc: The picture is not mine. The one I kept drawing looked aweful. This is one I found on Deviantart, by Juan Ruben Juarez M. on which I added the writing. |
Merlin, Aurora's head hurt. She hadn't slept properly last night... She frowned in concentration as she scribbled notes down - her handwriting resembling something she imagined the Giant Squid would write. What are they used in? Well... "The eyes can be used in fertilizer potions, professor. I think it's because of the protein or something." she wasn't sure to be honest, she just knew that Rufin used them... |
>___< Hard question alert. Hard question alert! Theodore blinked a few times, and studied his Plimpy closer. "I dunno about potions. But they could be used for a wizarding fish pie, or something." He watched the professor with careful eyes, then buried his head low. Fish pie. WHAT. |
dat spoiler cut When the other dude started freaking out, he shouted so loud that Dale was brought out of his concentration and he jumped nearly a foot in the air, so that the plimpy he still had a hold of nearly went out of his hands and across the class. Panicking slightly, he reached out for it before it could go too far, but the sliminess and his grip were not friends, and so it shot out of his hand again. This repeated until finally he just about caught it but the foot. Didn't seem the healthiest way, but at least the legs were untied. Placing the slippery little bugger back on his desk, Dale realised he had been standing by that point and hurriedly sat down. Ahem. Nothing. Happened. As Lafay spoke, he hurriedly scribbled down notes and drew a super basic version of the Frish (because saying Plimpy was ridiculous, right?). Nevertheless, he wrote PLIMPY at the top and underlined it. Cautiously, Dale raised his hand. He was quite afraid, at this point, of being wrong. The Hufflepuff had TRIED reading ahead and reading up to this point, but he was furiously catching up with all his other subjects. "I can't really think of anything specific, Professor, but... I guess... I mean it could be that... you know in spas? They usually have things that are in some way from or related to the sea. Like, you get seaweed wraps and stuff like that, and it kind of rejuvenates people. That could be one reason," he started to lower his hand as he added. "Or, you know, that whole 'healthy omega three' thing." They were fish... right? Or Dale could just be completely wrong. |
Nigel knew of one potion, at least he thought he did. He raised his hand and said "Professor, can't you use plimpy eyes in the Fertiliser potion?" |
This was testing Kaitlyn's memory and her knowledge. Why did it have to be such a hard question? She remembered something she read in a potions book once, what was it now? Ugh! Well, it was worth a shot, right? "Urmm, are the plimpy's eyes used in a fertilizer potion?" Kat asked uncertainly. |
Ella's eyes were now on the floating plimpy as Professor Lafay explained the parts of the creature and what they were used for. She scribbled down notes, attempting her own diagram of the fish-like creature, before considering the question that had been asked. What other types of potions were the ingredients used in? Hmmm... Well eating fish was supposed to be good for you, yeah? Hence the whole health potion bit. But maybe it was as good for your mind as it was for your actual body. "Professor, perhaps you would find parts of the plimpy in potions that benefit one's mind...like the calming draught... because maybe fish parts are as good for your mind as they are for healing your body." |
I missed playing with you, too Droo-face! And All of you *snogs* SPOILER!!: The helpful kid What the boy said made sense. Afterall, that is what had actually happened unbeknownst to Elijah. However, he didn't take in ANY of the logical explanation the boy gave since he was far too terrified to be processing anything at the moment as he continued to search underneath his desk for a place of safety from resurrecting plimpies. SPOILER!!: The moody prefect however, his house prefect wasn't too far from his and Vickers' workbench, so when the not-as-attractive-as-Elijah-Huffer oh so helpfully corrected him, Elijah had managed to snap out of his terror for a moment to hear what he was saying. "Oh wonderful, I am so glad that at a time like this when a PLIMPY is resurrecting from the dead again you decide that the appropriate response is to correct my errors." Who were these people? It seemed as if all of them were extremely MAD as well as unattractive. SPOILER!!: The awesome Potions bro Elijah watched with his breath held as his knight in shining armour! His saviour! went to investigate his risen-again fish. He confirmed, what everyone else probably expected, that the plimpy was, in fact, dead and Elijah must have been seeing things. "You're sure?" he asked, as his awesomely attractive face began peering up from underneath the desk once more. Yep, it looked pretty dead... "Thank Merlin for that. Thanks for finishing it off for me Vickers," he lied, passing it off as if it HAD been alive and Vickers and killed it for him. He didn't want to look like a complete fool, afterall. "I feared that it may have went for my nose if you hadn't stepped in there and what a waste of such an attractive nose that would be..." Yep. Lies lies lies. SPOILER!!: the scary corpse puppeteer Suggest he calm down? HMPH! That was easy for her to say. She wasn't close to facing a near death experience by a plimpy come back to life... sorta. "Um, no unforgivable curses needed here ma'am, Vickers here finished him off. I think he is definitely dead now," he quickly untied the knot round the plimpy's legs. "See? Not going anywhere now." Unforgivable curse?! This unattractive lady was EXTREME. However, the worst was yet to come. Oh boy, yes it was, because not long after she had offered to cast illegal magic right there in front of him, than she was FLOATING her own dead plimpy corpse up in front of the board. Sick. "Oh gosh, Vickers. I think she is purposefully trying to make us spew," he whispered to his partner, "I am way to attractive to be spewing my insides. People would probably try and steal my vomit and sell it off in some black market because i'm sure vomit from SUCH a handsome guy would go for a few galleon." He really didn't even want to think about what sort of potions this fish made. His stomach was unsettled enough as it was. "Vickers? If I do end up spewing, will you hold my hair back for me? I can't imagine anything worse than if I were to get sick in my hair. Not even the end of the world is that bad." |
SPOILER!!: Droo WOAHHHHHHHH. *is learning* West watched with great interest, his mind ticking over all the possibilities. Nares are for detecting smells? He thought about it and put his hand up. "Maybe nares are in potions that are for sniffing out trouble?" WAS THAT HOW HIS DAD ALWAYS KNEW WHEN HE WAS DOING STUFF? West was suddenly sure of it. His dad DID call him Trouble after all, and always knew when he was In It or Trying To Be In It. Obviously his dad had a supply of nares. That was his secret. |
Elliot simply glared at the professor...they were going to be harvesting? Elliot wished she had brought gloves. The blonde put her hand to her mouth, staring down at the plimpy in complete revulsion. Should she leave? Should she just watch? NO. Elliot was BRAVE! Right? Right. No vomiting. Nope. That is so... classless. Come on, you can do it, you pansy! She took a deep breath, and put one finger on the plimpy, felt the slimy scales, and yanked her hand back. Her blue eyes were watering...she closed her eyes, muttered to herself, and began again. This time, she did it quickly(but also carefully, mind you!) and got it OVER WITH. UUUUUGGGHH. How gross was that? VERY. Elliot never wanted to do that again. She took a handkerchief from her bag and wiped her hands. She then picked up her quill and notebook and began to scribble down what people were saying about making other potions, blah blah blah. Elliot wasn't very good at potions, nor interesting in this class...she was only interested in keeping her lunch in her stomach instead of letting everyone else witness it on her desk. Gross. Gross. GROSS. |
Alyssa was about to raise her hand and answer that the eyes could be used for fertilizer but then the other students beat her to it, so she thought of other possibilities and one just popped into her head. She heard that it was rumored to be used but Alyssa figured that it was worth a try. So she raised her hand. "Professor is the Plimpy's scales one of the ingredients used to make the Memory Potion?" Alyssa hoped she wasn't grossly wrong. |
Catch up! Nerida listened to the Professor explain what Plimpies were and took notes all about them. Mean merpeople tieing their legs together and poor old plimpy! Untangle the Plimpy's legs not hard at all. After the Professor told them they could untangle the Plimpy's legs. She stood up and took a deep breath she couldnt hurt it could she. Whispering Just ungtangle yourse- Before she could finish whispering she had done it. Smiling she sat back down just in time for Professor Lafay to began talking about the external of the Plimpy she jotted it all down and drew the picture and waited for the hard question that was sure to come! There it was...Um are the eyes used in a fertilizer potion because of the nutrients. Thats really all she knew! She hadnt memorized the ingrediants for each and every potion. SPOILER!!: Nerida's Potions Book |
Sarah was racking her brain for an answer, yet one idea was blocking her way and kept coming up. Exasperated she said it. "Proffessor, maybe Plimpie Soup. Soup has healing properties. Maybe it works like chicken soup. Heals those that are sick." she said rather tryingly |
Angelina stared down at her plimpy and up at Lafay when she pointed to each part. She really wasn't afraid of any part of the plimpy, just the whole head part with the eye, and nares, and also mouth. If they get to see the inside, then she will then get grossed out. Hmm... she wasn't to sure of what to answer. Looking over the plimpy once again she raised her hand and said, "Umm... can't you use the scales or the eye?" |
Emmaline's hand shot up into the air. "Well, Professor, plimpy eyes are used in potions such as fertilizer." |
