Located on the first floor is the classroom for Muggle Studies. It was November, yet a warmer day than usual. Through the open door, desks were paired together in twos, whilst Professor Feirgrund remained in front of a table with many bowls of fruit, vegetables, and other food assortments. Take a gander, speculate, maybe ask nicely for a sample, and find your seat before the lesson begins.
Where are we at? Q1 - Greetings + First question. A1 - Gathering ingredients. Step 1 - Prepping ingredients. Step 2 - Adding ingredients. Final Step - Share and Mix your Smoothie.
--- OOC: Welcome! Class has already begun, but you can jump right in posting as if they were here all along. While this is the first RP class, IC-wise there have been many beforehand. Be sure to check the rules & canon info regarding this subject for extra OOC info.
Brandon wanted to drink his smoothie much more than he wanted to present. He stood up as one of the first people, wanting to get it over with. "Um..." He looked around awkwardly (and a bit anxiously). "I have pineapple juice, pineapple, mango, and coconut cream. And ice. I was going to make it more of a mango yogurt dink like a mango lassi, but I was working with Anna and she wanted to make tropical things, so I made it more of a kids pińa colada but with mango added. I've never really tried one of these before so I hope I like it."
With the hard part out of the way, Brandon sat back down and pressed the button on his blendjet. Wow... that was fast! He eagerly poured himself a glass. What did this taste like?

Despite asking the question and very much wanting to hear the answer, Anna had already somewhat distracted herself with prep and therefore was only kind of paying attention to Professor Ameliorating Teddy Bear. She did hear something about intense liquids and orange juice...which made sense since orange was pretty sour unless you added a ton of sugar and it had something called acid in it - she assumed it was the same acid like in acid pops, though she did not know for certain because mum would never let her have any of those. "Okay, neat. Thanks Professor Teddy---I mean...Professor Feirgrund!"
She also DID catch that they were working with things a century old, which made them the oldest artefact she had ever handled. Probably. Sometimes it was hard to remember these details but at least for right now it was the oldest artefact!
Anna wasn't exaaaaaaaaaactly having the time of her life, it would be awfully sad to peak at third year, but her arms were getting horribly tired smashing this can on the side of her desk and disfiguring it. She felt like she was getting close now though...maybe just...a couple more whacks...
"Oh, Lychee and raspberry are a claaaaaaaassic combination," she chirped at the Ice Princess of Ravenclaw Tower as if she actually knew what she was talking about and hadn't just thought that their colors looked pretty together. "But banana is super overpowering so like...you gotta put a little less in it or else everything will taste like banana. You can try some of mine when it's ready if you'd like! As a small thank you for assisting me. Just...need to get this can... op ----"
*SPLOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*
The can opened.
Well...erupted was probably a better description since there was coconut EVERYWHERE. Anna herself looked like she had just dunked her head into a bowl of it and she couldn't really see through all the dripping just how far it had splattered elsewhere. The good news was that coconut milk smelled great! At least...right now it smelled great!
Using her fingers to wipe her eyelids clean a bit, she turned to Brandon and smiled at his offer. "I'd like that...hopefully it won't be as messy as this! Nice thing about messes is that you can always clean them up. I'd hate to inconvenience the house elves...even if they say they like cleaning up messes." She licked her lips clean next and rubbed her fingers on her robes. And then came the beleated apology. "I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THE COCONUT MILK! GOOD NEWS, BESIDES IT SMELLING GREAT, IS THAT IT IS GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN AND HAIR!" she tried to assure her classmates...or at least those who were closest to her.
She was meant to be putting things into her Blendjet now, but with the coconut milk kind of all ooooooover the place...she really only had the pieces that Desiree had prepared for her. Which meant that besides conceptualization ... she had not really contributed all that much and was only slightly upsetting but sometimes you had to make messes to learn and that was okay too. "Um...professor? Before I share my ingredients, which were oh so skillfully prepared by Desiree by the way...can I get some towels to help clean up? Please?"

As the Last Step's instructions were added to the board. Feirgrund could see and was delighted to hear the student's smoothie mixes. Everyone seemed to be progressing swimmingly, well, mostly..
SPOILER!!: Clean up on Aisle 5

The urge to chuckle at the Teddy comment, was hidden, perhaps thanks to experience with his own kids. Plus, Miss Walles corrected themselves before enough banging caused the inevitable. An explosion of a mess of milk. A couple drops managed to land on the table, but most were on the students. Eesh.
"It's all good, Miss Walles," Feirgrund grabbing a few hand cloths from his desk went over from his table and used his wand to merely suck up the milk droppings. No use crying over spilled milk, here. Before he handed a cloth to each student affected to dry off. "Allow me," He had also took a fresh coconut milk can and popped the top off with his wand (without a spell) before setting it down.
Once the situation was cleared up, the Professor turned his head to return to his desk when saw the time on the clock was winding down."Oh my, looks like our time is almost up," Feirgrund announced, "If you're still fixing your Smoothies, you're welcome to stay until finished," As for those already finished, "Good news for you students, those Blendjets in your possession are yours to keep. Please come over once you've cleared up and pick up the plugs for them, since they do require charging which can be done at the Technology Space. Then you'll be able to use them to your leisure. Class dismissed."
OOC: Great work, everyone! While class is over, anyone still in need to start/finish making their Smoothie have one last day to fulfill all three steps before thread closes.
Hope had taken a careful sip of her smoothie after her presentation and stood there tasting it and trying to decide what she thought of it. It wasn't bad, but she wasn't sure it was exactly good, either. There was something odd about the taste (she suspected that protein powder). Still, it was refreshing enough. If she ever made it again, she decided as she began cleaning up her area at the end of class, she'd leave out the protein powder and use more fruit. She still didn't think a smoothie was as good a breakfast as oatmeal porridge with butter, though.
"Goodbye, Professor Feirgrund," she called as she left the classroom.
