As expected Vivi took charge once more and started dishing out orders like she was the one who signed the cheques at the end each month. She listened to her giving out the instructions and stuff then nodded when she heard that Max would help her with her costume. Good. If anyone saw her in Transfiguration class they would have given the same orders so this time she wouldn't even pretend to be offended. All help was appreciated.

She took a step back that put her even less in the way of the others so they could hop to their designated tasks while she watched Max make her a mask. Lex grinned in satisfaction when he showed her the mask. "Neat! I love it!!!! Can I keep it when we're done??" It was a cool mask...no need to make it go to waste after it'd served its purpose. He seemed a little hesitant when he was showing it to her but she couldn't figure out why--the mask was genius!

Her eyes widened when he asked her to change her hair. "Are you kidding me?!" She exclaimed. "I'll be willing to change it even if you don't know how to get it back to normal!" Cue even wider GRIN. "I can mess it up if you want," Hair was hair afterall, "but I still want it green!" Nod. She yanked the scrunchie from her hair without a seconds hesitation, ruining the already messy ponytail, then proceeded to make a mess of her hair. "Okay, you can turn it green now!"

Alexa waited patiently for her hair to turn crazy as he began transfiguring a coat. It was an um...an interesting?coat. "Pfft, I likesss me the weird look." She said, eagerly grabbing the neat coat and throwing it on then she grabbed the mask and threw it on too. "Now how do I look?"

And yes she was still waiting to have her hair go green. Cough. Cough.

Befelda then faced Awar and started practicing their lines.


* * * * *

After a few minutes of doing a quick run, Professor Gemma had already called on their villain. They both stood up and walked up in front of class.

"Hi! I'm Befelda Solster and this my group mate Awarlesta Black. We will be presenting a skit for you to have an idea who truly Riddler is and show you his villain abilities and symbol. First, I will be giving you a brief information about Riddler. Well, coming from his name, he was then called cause he loves dealing with riddles and puzzles while doing his evil act. His symbol would be a question mark and his villain colors are pale green and violet. Ok, let us start."

They have fixed everything including some of the props and then started the presentation...



......

At least Giddy giddy didn't dare to complain. Kat wasn't artistic, no, but she does know how to draw. She's just not imaginative enough to become an artist. Taking out a piece of parchment to write on, Kat had already thought out of different things she knew about Mr. Freeze. Grabbing a quill and her inkwell, she started scribbling down information about Mr. Freeze that might be needed in presentation.



Kat was kind of lazy to write Mr. Freeze's history so she just finished only until abilities. Anyway, Kat knows his history to well to even have to write it down. It wasn't even necessary to write down since she knew Mr. Freeze. But not that much. She knew him well for this lesson, but she's not diehard for villains. Checking up on Gideon, he did very well with his poster. In fact, he was good at drawing. Nobody ever told her about that. "Hey, nice drawing," she complemented. Well, it was true. He drew very well.

Oh gosh, they were called out now. Kat exchanged looks with Giddy giddy and stood up. They both went in front. Well, they seem to be the only group with two members. It was weird. But, it's better than nothing. Once in front, Kat gathered all her courage to speak. Here it goes...

"Good day to all of you," Kat started, then took a deep breath. "I am Katrina Hudson and this is my fellow villain mate Gideon Gert," PAUSE. Chill out, Hudson. "As you can see, our villain is no other but the famous Mr. Freeze. Gideon has made a poster on Mr. Freeze, right over here." A moment of silence...

"As some of you might know, Mr. Freeze is the enemy of Batman," Now for the history. Spontaneous speaking, Kat. "Ever since Victor Fries, the alter-ego of Mr. Freeze, was a young boy he loved to find ways in preserving animals by freezing them. He wanted to find a way for them to still exist in the future. He continued doing this until it became a hobby of his. One day, he met a woman named Nora and they both fell in love and got married. Unfortunately, their married life didn't last so long. Nora had a disease and Victor tried to use his freezing skills to preserve her. But everything went wrong and Victor's laboratory and equipment were all consumed in the explosion of ice."

The things people do for love. So stupid. It's not like you don't like someone, Kat, a voice said. Heh.

"Victor, though, survived but Nora was in life and death because her condition was getting even more serious than the condition before the explosion. With so many event happening after the explosion, Victor was finally known as Mr. Freeze. His wife, Nora, was restored to life and became Lazara." Whoever she is. So much history. And she was lazy. Then she went to read the things she wrote on her parchment.

...

Done. Kat then looked at Gideon to see if he wanted to add something else or if he wanted to do the end of their presentation. Kat was out of ideas now. Giddy giddy, do something!

Awar stood there quietly as Befelda spoke and waved slightly as she was introduced. She didn't really like to be in front of a crowd, but she quickly tried to gain some confidence as they began their skit.

Nigel walked up with Louisa as she was about to do her speech. He did not check to see if the other person in the group went up with him. He waited till half way throughthe speech till he cast the for changing charm on himself. He did look awesome as doctor doom. Nigel did not know any awesome spells. So he just stood there looking awesome as Dr Doom. Once the speech was over Nigel left with Louisa and went back to his seat still dressed as Doom. He felt that since he already did the charm why not stay dressed as Doom all day.

.....



Finally, their presentation ended and Befelda together with Awar stood up straight and bowed in front of the class. They were too nervous that time as they have done the skit with only just the two of them. But they felt relieved when the skit ended. They quietly exited the stage and went back to their seats.

"Blimey! We did it. Can you imagine that, just the two of us? A little hard though, but it was great, right? Hope we could gain good house points on this one.", she said smilingly to Awar.

Awar exhaled in relief when they were able to act out the skit successfully. She sat down and smiled big. "Yeah! We did it! Woo!" She did a little dance in her seat. "I hope so too! Awesome teamwork!" She high fived Befelda.

Emmaleigh nodded as Vivi suggested an angle for their presentation. “That's brilliant.” she said smiling. She was super glad the girl was in her group. There was no way she could have come up with something so good. The redhead nodded when she was asked to be Batgirl. “Yeah sure.” she said with a smile. She didn't know much about Batgirl, and she wasn't sure what she was supposed to do, but she could certainly follow the others lead. She handed her mask over before taking some parchment and starting on the bricks. At Max's suggestion, she enlarged the brick she was working on. “Good idea.” she said giving him a grin. “And we'll try that spell too.”

Once they had several large bricks, Emmaleigh began copying the facts the Ravenclaw girl had written down.

• Enemy to the Batman
• Unknown alter ego
• Highly intelligent
• Good at hand-to-hand combat
• Chemist/inventor
• Crazy-faced wacko
• Murderer
• Disfigures victims
• Put into an asylum instead of prison
  

She used the gluing spell Max had suggested to stick these bricks together to form one wall, and then began working on the bricks that would hold the Joker's back story.

• The Origin of the Joker
• Quit job as chemical engineer to become stand-up comedian.
• Failed as comedian and was unable to support his pregnant wife
• Teamed up with criminals to rob chemical plant
• Was stopped by Batman, but fell into chemical vat which transformed his appearance, and affected him mentally.
• The criminal's associates killed his family that night.

After the girls finished writing on the bricks, and gluing them to form a wall she turned to the others. “Was there anything else we needed to put?” she asked. “You look sufficiently insane Lexa. Great job, Max.” she said giving the boy a wink.

They were ready! Vivi handed back the masks to Max and Em before putting on her own, changed from simple paper masks to full cloth masks - a Batman mask, a Robin mask, and a Batgirl mask. They looked... pretty awesome, although Lex dressed as the Joker looked amazing. Vivi finished off the girl's look with the haircoloring wand she still carried in her bag (for some unknown reason). Crazy green hair, a long purple jacket, and the mask.

She looked amazing.

Vivi gestured for them to move to the front of the room once it was their turn, and she hoped Lex would start acting like a crazy person as soon as they were in position. At that point, with Lex in character as the Joker, and with Bliss explaining their actions, Em, Max, and Vivi were dressed as his foes. Rawr... Bat...people! The paper blocks made by Em and Ness were stacked to one side, each with one fact about the Joker written on it.

Joker!Lex acted crazy as her foes steadily built up a cage around her using the blocks they'd made, ending with Lex stuck inside a prison... of her own making. Metaphor FTW!

Joker DOMINATION.

After Vivi changed Lex's hair color(she did a much better job than he probably would have done), Max scooted over to help with last minute brick-constructing.

And then their group was called.

Max slipped his mask on and gave an early triumphant pose to punctuate the fact that he was BATMAN! Then, as Bliss began to tell the story and details on the Joker that he had originally read from the book, Max took turns with the others to build the blocks up around their 'Joker,' Lex. He tried to put on his best serious superhero face behind his mask and paused every now and then to dramatically flex and use gestures to show that the Joker was being defeated by his own life story.

Best group ever.

Lex grinned over at Em when she complimented her on her look. She actually liked it; it suit her. Now she was wondering whether or not they'd let her walk around the school like this afterwards--That. Would. Be. Epic. Alexa's grin got wider when Vivi did the honours of changing her hair colour. She marvelled at it for a moment before shuffling up to the front with the other members of her group.

Ahem.

This was where she acted like the Joker; she was sooo ready.

While Bliss narrated and the others moved around her building up the blocks of her 'weaknesses', showing her defeat she flailed and thrashed about (within reason), pulling at her hair and making half fizzling, half shrieking noises...you know, kinda like she was melting but of course she wasn't because the joker was too cool for that.

The blocks got higher and higher as the others piled them on until she could no longer see the class. At this point she began knocking on the boxes to show that she was imprisoned and annoyed. It was fine. The boxes were nicely glued and wouldn't crumble. This was when she started making more weird noises but she didn't bang any harder; no need to push it.

The presentation was already pretty awesome.

Back to looking like herself, Kurumi move on to the next speak and stood beside her while Cassia spoke. Erm...right...Kurumi couldn't actually DO most of what Cassia was explaining right now in comparison to Mystique. Kurumi DID however give the yellow eyes a try, managing to accomplish this with relative ease, and ventured to change her skin blue...but that didn't work out so well and instead she simply turned her nose and hands a blueish color. It was something at least. "T-This is different from what I can do as a metamorphagus," Kurumi said as she stumbled over her words a little. "I can't change my voice nor can I simply make clothing appear on my body like Mystique can, which is why in her natural blue skin form she doesn't wear clothing."

Closing her eyes again, the blueish parts of her skin vanished and her eyes returned to their usual violet. She wanted to try and match Cassia's hair next, but she was sort of exhausted from what she had tried just now. It had been her first attempt at skin color...or anything other than her hair and eyes really. Minus the occasional pair of cat ears that did sprout from her head around Lewis.


Moving away from Cassia, Kurumi approached Eliza and stood beside her while she spoke her little sing song bit and focused on the girl's hair and eyes. She was feeling a bit fatigued from her previous attempt, so the changes were much slower this time. In fact, Eliza had finished her piece before Kurumi had finished, but the Gryffindor continued to focus until the transformation was complete and then paused for a moment to catch her breath.

Yep, this was definitely giving her exercise with her abilities. Maybe she should have thought of this before?


Beads of sweat beginning to form on her forehead, Kurumi stood next to Emmanuelle and eyed her hair color, making her own change to match the blond before focusing on the girl's green eyes. Green eyes...Kurumi liked those... NO! No getting distracted, Hollingberry. Her abilities went wonky when that happened and now was not the time for all that. Once the Slytherin was done, Kurumi reverted back to her own appearance and moved on.

Moving on to Cora, Kurumi took a deep breath and only managed to change her eye color before the Ravenclaw had finished, but at least she had accomplished something. Her hair had changed as well, just matching the style while still retaining its normal black color.

Sarah watched grimly from the sidelines as the two gilrs acted out the skits. She had decided to let them do it because it was only fair to give them a chance. After all she had written the script. Yet she watched as her carefully laid plans cumbled before her eyes and her fury like Mt Etna was erupting from with in. First of all, Befelda missed the whole point of it, which was to not tell everyone out right, rather to convey it through riddles like Riddler could hav done, yet Befelda ruined everything with her address before the scripts. Then the question mark story, Sarah blanched as she watched, that girl missed the whole point! It was meant to be more subtle... there is name called Mark, yet having a name called question was clearly over the top. Sarah could not stand slow people and stupid people, they made her so fustrated and she felt like pummeling her fists against Befelda. Instead she clenched them to her side.
She bowed along with the rest of them and pretended not to notice the fact that hey took all the credit and they high fived each other, forgetting about Sarah, whose Idea it was. If not for Sarah the whole thing would not have happened. If there was any slight chanc of them winning, Hufflepuff would not deserve the points because it was all Sarah's idea. True, she gave them the chance to act it out yet they just messed it up. SARAH OFFICALLY HATED GROUP WORK! Especially with younger kids!
Sarah was struggling to hold back her emotions, "well done guys" she said to them trying to hold back any emotions. Yeah well done for ruining it. No good deed goes unpunished...

Befelda was a little surprised with Sarah's face. She congratulated her but it seems it was in an ungrateful way. She asked her. "Thanks. But it seems you're not that grateful. We did it! What's the matter?", she asked her nicely.

She really had to cut the scenes short as it would really take time. Perhaps, that's what made Sarah a little....mad?, she thought. She then asked Sarah. "Was it about the script? We have to shorten it as we have a little less time to present. If that's the reason why your face's like that, I'm really sorry.", she said sincerely to Sarah. She's hoping for a positive outcome.

Hannah was looking at her feet as she waited for her partner to say her part about their villian. She felt like Ariana was talking forever to start talking, but she couldn't be sure because standing in front of the class seemed to play tricks on the time. For all she knew it could have only been a few seconds but she could feel the eyes of everyone burning into her face. She peeked up at Ariana and noticed that she had froze. Great! This was just great! This girl better be glad that she was a fellow Slytherin because if it would have been anybody one else she would have just let the girl stand there and look like a fool.

She cleared her throat and decided to come to her rescue. "What Ariana researched about our villian is that his arch foe was Ikaris and this his alter ego was En Sabah Nur." Pause. Yeah, she was going to give the credit to Ariana because afterall she was the one who researched this part and they were on the same team. She didn't mean just in this class but that they were in the same house and they both wanted to win...she was sure. "He was a mutant. He also had several abilities such as Teleportantion, Energy manipulation and Technopathy." There she had helped her out and she hoped that they were done with the presentation.

Laura looked at her group as they all worked on what they were going to do and how they were going to do it, the rest of her group seem shy so she had this funny feeling that she was going to have to present this herself, she smiled as they all talked about the Dark Phoenix, not many of them had heard of her so at the minute they were still struggling to figure out what the Dark Phoenix did, she looked around her group as they all continued to look at the book and read it and there was also a picture of the dark phoenix in there which was awesome. "I think we are ready now." Laura looked at them all. "We should be able to start our presentation with the information we have."

As Vivi gestured for the group to move forwards. Renesmee just nodded and followed. The red head stood in her correct position and listened carefully as Bliss narratted. She wasn't sure when the right moment was to screech, so she kept her mouth shut just for a little and tried not to focus on how many people would actually be hearing her do so.

Just don't think about it. She shook her head a tiny bit and tried to focus on the actual skit. It was going great in her opinion. Her group were doing absolutely amazingly. When the last brick had covered little Lexi, the red head took her moment.

SCREEEEEEEEEEECCCCCHHHHHHH!!!!

That had to have been one of the loudest she had ever done.

Was it good? Could she hide now, before the Professor decided that the screeching was absolutely horrid?

Laura was now very nervous, seriously no one in her group wanted to read and she didn't either everyone staring at her whilst the others just stood behind her but well she knew someone had to read so it seem like she would have to get over her fear and read infront of the whole class, now that was making her very nervous.

Laura smiled as she looked at everyone and then she started to do her groups presentation. "Well it all started with this Lady Super Hero called Phoenix was returning home from a mission in space." Laura stopped trying to keep calm. "Well you see something strange happened, she got caught up in the radiation of a solar flare and when that happen she changed her suit, though this didn't change her bad." Laura looked at the rest of the group wondering if anyone wanted to speak but they shook their heads. "Well this guy mastermind wanted to join the hellfire club and so with the help of planting false information into her mind, he cause her to go bad and become the queen of the hellfire club." Laura stopped there to get her breath back.

The professor smiled and shook her head up and down at each presentation. She clapped politely at the end of each one and had to stifle a little laugh with some of them.

After each group had gone, she stepped forward and said, "Okay, that's it for today! Ya'll all did a great job presenting your villains. Once again, if you need more information about superheros or villains remember I have lots of books to share..." she said motioning towards a bookshelf in the corner, "And our lovely librarian has opened a section full of books and comics..."

She stepped forward and flipped over the dry erase board and the Homework was neatly written across it:
"Thank you everyone for coming and I can't wait to see what you create for your homework!" she said excitedly walking through the crowd and standing beside the door to say goodbye to each of the students.

OOC: Thanks for coming. I left the thread open for a while to help with the rping in the groups. Thanks everyone!

Minerva smiled when all the presenters were finished. She clapped for all of them thinking they all did a fantastic job. When the homework was given she took out some parchment and quickly wrote it down not to forget. Then standing she placed her bag over her shoulder and walked towards the front of the room. Seeing Kurumi she smiled.."Great job with changing today. That would be so great to be able to do that without spells." Minerva knew she loved changing her hair with the spell, but if she could just think about it and it would change would be awesome.

Then she saw went to the professor, "Thanks for another great lesson. It was really fun to learn about the villans." Looking around she spotted Ethan and headed over towards him. "Hey Ethan, want to walk together to the next class or were you headed somewhere else?" She smiled figuring she could walk alone if he needed to be somewhere else.

Ethan listened to the rest of the presentations and politely applauded each as they finished. He still wasn't completely happy with the way things had worked out and how his own presentation went.. but now class was over and his mood lightened somewhat... Until the homework was assigned. The boy had held out some small sliver of hope that there wouldn't be any homework this time, but no such luck. He was far overworked piling on the usual homework and studying on top of the OWLs he had to study for, but it didn't look like the fifth years were going to get any sort of break.

The boy began packing up his things when a familiar voice at his side made him turn and smile. "Hey, Min... Sure we can walk together," he grinned. Yes.. just headed to the next class.. it seemed like the only two places he ever was anymore, except when he was asleep, was in class or at the library. "I'm thankful for the company.. What's next, Arithmancy?" The boy tried to picture his schedule.. that one was next, right?

After the muggle superhero homework, now is to create a villain. Now this is really challenging. She wrote down the homework, fixed her things and approach the door to leave the class. "Bye Professor! You have a good day!", she said as she waved goodbye to the woman.

Kurumi was, in a word, exhausted. She had never used her abilities this much in such a short period of time nor had she ever done so of her own accord. Hopefully it had all paid off and her pureblood classmates - or just those who did not know about nonmagical things at all - were able to understand the comparison between Mystique and her possible magical counterpart in metamorphagi.

Only apparently her group's choice in comparison wasn't good enough. Yep, this woman was totally trying to bribe the Minister's daughter for whatever reason...She needed to get Hogwarts' Sherlock and Holmes on the case for this.

Making a mental note to find Selina and Vivi after class, Kurumi jotted down the homework to put on the Gryffindor announcement board and then packed her things. "Have a good rest of the day, professor," she said with a small smile as she made her way out of the classroom.

Make herself into a super villain? Er....right... This would be interesting...
