Though it was a cold and cloudy late January day, the Muggle Studies classroom is charmed to a very pleasant, mild temperature and is set up in its usual format, with the desks all lined up in neat rows and the professor's desk at the front. And so the conspicuous black tarp covering a large cube-shaped object standing on the other side of the professor's desk might be the first thing that catches your attention. Wonder what could be under there?
Professor Applewood stands beside her desk as usual, hands folded in front of her, ready to greet you as you enter.
Class will begin shortly.
OOC: Hi, everyone! Welcome to the Muggle Studies! Even though this is the only lesson we'll be playing this term, please keep in mind that this isn't the first or only lesson IC.
If you haven't already, please check out the class rules. This is also a reminder to choose only one of your student characters to play in this lesson.
Class will begin in approximately 24 hours. Class has begun!
In true hypocritical fashion, Milo welcomed the Flamsteed's suggestion just as much as the Flamsteed had welcomed his own, and was just on the verge of pointing out he'd not asked for his input when Ms Applewood contribusted.
And thus it was, that in removing the need to make a choice, Milo had still ended up with four options, some veering so close to his own preference that he knew he shouldn't choose them, but then by avoiding them, perhaps that was equally telling. To bluff, double-bluff, triple-bluff, or... He blinked hard, flexed his fingers, and wordlessly nodded.
Milo was ready to drift away in that moment, was already in the process of detaching from the activity and wandering away to who knew where, when the Flamsteed appeared directly in front of him. Probably he had not simply appeared, and probably Milo had simply absented himself from the moment without realising, but in the moment between shutting his eyes and opening them again, he had a partner. Perhaps he had missed an entire discussion about partnering up too. Milo blinked again, and touched the tip of his index finger to his throat, but that only confused the data and made him even less sure. Instead, he looked at the boy who couldn't hoop-toss his way out of a wet paper class activity.
"It's-" he began, but stopped himself just before correcting him on what 'Renaissance' was, and how to say it. He had, after all, already claimed ignorance on the topic of history and may as well keep it going a little longer. Milo allowed the pause to stretch on, balancing himself on one foot and reaching back to hold onto the other with one hand, because sometimes that made it easier to concentrate. "Which sauces?" He paused again, switched to the other foot. "Souvenir goggles."

What...was he doing? Squinting as the little Ravenclaw pointed to his throat, Atlas wondered if he was supposed to know what that meant. A sore throat? Was the kid saying that they had a sore throat and therefore would not be talking all that much? Thing a bit more, each thought more nonsensical than the last, Atlas' eyes lifted and refocused with the question...which begged a small shrug of the shoulders. "[b]I dunno...pasta sauces maybe?[b]" The first ones to come to mind and also he really liked spaghetti. Weren't their things called pool noodles too? Kind of a little tongue in cheek humor there. "Though...suppose those tend to be quick think and not entirely practical for waterslides and pools."
Because a waterslide with any other sauce was perfectly practical.
"Or...soy sauce...that's already pretty watery...tabasco sauce...Wor....Worshteachure?" That did not sound right but how was he supposed to know Worcestershire sauce anyway? "Kind of sounds like a sauce for one of those lazy river things." Distracted briefly by the foot hopping, Atlas glanced at the kid's mixed matched socks as if some sort of inspiration would be written upon them. "Goggles...oh...and those floaty things."

There were many, many instances where Jude became distracted either by his own thoughts or the voices of his classmates as they planned. He thought he overheard some interesting ideas, which reminded him every time that he needed to keep brainstorming. Otherwise the class time would run out and he’d be stuck with incomplete work.
He read over all that he had jotted down so far. There was still a bit that needed to be added, and Jude used his vast knowledge of music and whatever he knew about theme parks to think of unusual ideas. Who said that non-traditional ideas couldn’t make a successful park?
SPOILER!!: Jude’s planning
Name: Flying Solo Musical Park Target Audience: All ages Attractions:
Games: Capture the Guitar Pick, Musical Bands Tag, Freeze Dance, Spin the Musical Wheel, All You Can Sing Contest
Foods: Xylophone cuppies, Drumstick corndogs, popcorn among many more

Special activities: Talent Hunt, Special appearances by singers/bands

Oh so they got to design their own amusement parks now? Well Apollo supposed to ought to not be too surprised by that. He looked around for one of his slytherins to maybe collaborate with but not seeing any, decided maybe just mundane creatures on their own would be enough ?? Also, weren't there already theme parks with a creature theme?? Wasn't that like a zoo??? Although he was sure that Professor Applewood would expect something more than just another zoo, particularly as he wasn't a first year.
Picking up his pencil, the gryffindor shaded some animal faces onto his paper, casually doodling as he considered the possibilities. He did want animals there, but maybe could it be different in that you could actual pet the animals and maybe even ride them?? Swing from trees with the monkeys?
Name: Adara's Animal Kingdom
Type of park: Educational AND entertainment
Target Audience: All ages
Food: Bananas, peanuts, grass, other snacks that ANIMALS eat and even if they don't ... give them fun names that resemble the things that the animals eat
Activities: So maybe for some of the more involved activities like swinging from the trees and riding the elephants and giraffes, you need to be a certain height/age. But there's also kiddie rides that are fake animals that prep you for the real thing.
Open Year-Round but in the winter time, you can ice skate with penguins which is a seasonal attraction? And in the summertime, there's swimming with whales and dolphins and sharks.
Was this unrealistic ? Perhaps, but he supposed it was all part of the activity and with the right regulations perhaps it could be possible.

Purpose: Entertainment. Nothing educational about it. Location: London, England Time of year: Open year-round. Types of Rides:
A Batman vs. The Joker Dueling Coaster
Something with Maleficent. What? I don't know.
Food: Junk food. All you can eat pizza, nachos, and cotton candy. None of these sit-down, quiet-type places. Merchandise: Fun stuff! Gag gifts! Keychains, bag clips, squishies, etc. of ALL the characters!
Delilah looked over her notes. Her ideas needed...something. Well, they needed a lot, actually. These notes were literally the bare minimum, but the issue was, she needed someone else's brain. It was tough not having a partner. Sometimes she hated partnering up. What with the whole awkwardness of hunting for someone and then it taking forever for everybody to decide on one thing. But now, she needed more brains.
Anyway, the best she could do at this point was just build on her ideas.
Purpose: Entertainment. Nothing educational about it. Park Name: I have no idea. Something about good versus bad, but something that sounds cool. Location: London, England, because that's where I'm from, and I want it to be local. Time of year: Open year-round. Times? Umm...everyday, but it'll close at 8:00 P.M. on weeknights and 11:00 P.M. on weekends. Types of Rides:
A Batman vs. The Joker Dueling Coaster
Something with Maleficent. What? I don't know. This will be a ride-through type attraction, where you sit strapped into a cart and ride around The Moors. At first, Maleficent is trying to attack you with wisps of green magic, but towards the end, we realize that she's just misunderstood, and we ride peacefully out the attraction.
Food: Junk food. All you can eat pizza, nachos, and cotton candy. None of these sit-down, quiet-type places. Merchandise: Fun stuff! Gag gifts! Keychains, bag clips, squishies, etc. of ALL the characters!
So that was it as far as additions go. She needed to come up with a name. "Hey! Anybody know a good name for a Superheroes vs. Villains park?!" she said to the people near her.

Now that he had all the information regarding his park, Jude could clearly see that his park was nothing but entertainment. He shrugged to himself. A fully entertaining park was not so bad since it would give families some time to do a whole lot of relaxation. Theoretically. With that in mind, the Huffelpuff added that bit into his description.
He had only just finished doing exactly that when he happened to hear Delilah’s question. He turned to her, considering her words and adjusting himself in his seat so that he could look her way properly. “You know… you’ve got a pretty good foundation for a name there. How about ‘Clash of the Titans: Superheroes versus Villains. Or you can flip it around. Superheroes versus Villains: Clash of the Titans. Or simply call it Clash of the Titans.” Jude offered the firstie a smile. Yes, he knew a bit about superheroes and the villains they went up against. Some of those fights were EPIC.

Rosalie moved about the room as the students got to work. It appeared Mister Flamsteed had opted not to continue the ring toss and had partnered with Mister Evans, though she did note the Gryffindor hadn't taken a bottle either. But they were quickly getting to work brainstorming (about...sauces for the theme?), so she saw no need to press further.
It appeared Mister Anders, Miss Prescott, and Mister Adara-Stark had decided to work individually, and they were developing their ideas quite well, considering the amount of writing they were getting done, which was wonderful to see.
Oh, Merlin, was that the time?
"Looks like we're coming up to the end of the lesson now, everyone. Once you've finished, please turn in what you've got and set it on the corner of my desk here." Rosalie lightly tapped the corner of her desk with her hand to indicate. "I look forward to seeing what you've created.
"Excellent work today once again! Homework will be posted later this evening. Have a great rest of your day. Class dismissed."
OOC: Thanks for coming, everyone, and thank you again for your patience! The thread will remain open for any last minute catch ups and students leaving for another 24 hours.
