Eighth Transition [Action] Time may change me but I can't trace time

[brainkegger]

[Professor Gregson is, for the start of her classes today, anyway, mostly herself. She's a little frazzled, clearly, but that's just because T was out partying in the forest last night and, well, hopefully her students understand that that just isn't her, so...

So they'll understand if T decides to party in the middle of class, too.]



[First years: Needle to match.

Second years: Leaf into broccoli.

Third years: Mouse into hamster.

Fourth years: Snake into a walking stick.

Fifth years: Canary into a lemon drop.

Sixth years: Toad into a toe (human).

Seventh years: Raven into a writing desk.

Professors, ghosts, etc.: Feel free to visit her office, just...don't be surprised if she isn't quite herself!

[Before class, Santana is found at her desk, charming her nails a bright red. And also judging the professor's hair.

That is all.]

[brainkegger]

[Tara hesitates to get anywhere near Santana, generally. Her presence tends to draw out T or Buck, and, well, they aren't the greatest teachers. At least Alice would try to teach, though it might be a class on stain-fighting rather than transfiguration. Too bad Santana disturbs Alice too much.

In any case, Tara's gotta say something.]

Miss Lopez. You're going to have to get your raven from the cages in the back or this is going to be one useless class...

5th year

[whatturmoil]

[Zuko is SO DETERMINED to turn that goddamn bird into a lemon drop. Sadly it turns into a flower instead. He, frustrated as hell, slams a hand on the desk in irritation. This is the final straw. He can't do anything right, except..make things explode.]

[brainkegger]

[Unfortunately, the explosion startles Tara enough to bring Gimmie out. Congratulations, Zuko, your professor is now a hissing creature, hiding under her cloak.

Gimmie scrambles into a corner, shrieking and chattering as she retreats.]

fifth year

[walkingdesuno]

[ sorry professor. it's not like he hates you or anything. he's just a terrible student when it comes to classroom manners.


Conan'll probably succeed in turning that into a lemon drop pretty quickly and then proceed to sleep. At least he wasn't partying like you. Rather, he was up reading a book late last night. ]

[brainkegger]

[Good, then you'll like this book Tara's about to drop on your desk.]

Mr. Edogawa, you can always turn it back, you know.

[learnedsomething]

[Kyle tries to transform the leaf. Unfortunately, he just gives it a thick broccoli stem with a single leaf top. He swears under his breath before raising his hand.]

Can you demonstrate the arm movement again, professor.

[brainkegger]

[Tara rubs her neck and walks over.]

It's basically a circle and a stab. Like this.

[She demonstrates.]

If it helps, imagine you're drawing a bull's eye. Or a, uh...

[Shit. No dirty jokes, Buck loves those.]

An eye.

[reckless_eagle]

[After many attempts, Feliks has managed to change his canary into...]

[A pink canary.]

[...]

Um, professor? Could you, like. Explain it one more time? 'Cause I don't think this is going anywhere.

1/2

[brainkegger]

[She wanders over and...something about the pink just...]

2/2

[brainkegger]

Wooooow, you really suck!

[paper_knight]

Professor?

[brainkegger]

[She hurries over.]

What's the problem?

fourth year action

[spacetier]

[ Jade may or may not have practiced turning snakes into walking sticks without permission at some point of the school year. So let us say that she is very good at this already, even turning the canes into different colors. ]

[brainkegger]

Oh, wow! Nice work. You've got a knack for this.

[onetruepurring]

[Nepeta's one good class! Or, well, one of them. Charms is the only thing she really sucks at. :c

Anyway, she successfully manages to turn the mouse into a hamster and then back again.]

[brainkegger]

Fantastic, Nepeta! Try getting a different colored hamster, now.

7th year Hufflepuff

[bicorn]

[ Transfiguration is not Brittany's best subject but neither is it her worst. She practices the wandwork over and over again, and the incantation separately, until she thinks she has it. Her first try produces a desk with some errant feathers and claws for feet. ]

[brainkegger]

Close! Give it another try.

[open, action] seventh year (gryffindor)

[klutzer]

[ Bartz, instead of trying to transfigure his raven right away, is busy playing with said bird. Or, more like, poking it and try to befriend it. It doesn't appreciate his effort very much, and let out a loud, angry noise, complete with wing-flapping and everything. Then pecked him in the arm. Hard. ]

Hey! You're really better off as a desk, aren't you?

[Action] Seventh year, Ravenclaw

[endlessbeato]

[Beato, seated down a ways from him can't help but giggle at the sight.]

Raven's are very intelligent creatures. A shame they don't allow us to use them as couriers - I wouldn't mind having one myself. Try stroking the feathers, rather than poking them. They're vain, these birds.

[Her chicken has calmed down considerably and is sleeping, thankfully. Her Raven has yet to be transformed as well, but she's having too much fun stroking its feathers and telling it how pretty it is.]

[epiccombo]

[Puck is late to class, but he really doesn't care. Detention? What's that?

He comes in and gets to work turning a raven into a writing desk. It's just his luck that the raven he got is particularly energetic and keeps moving all over the place.]

[brainkegger]

[Tara wanders over and casts an immobilizing charm on the raven.]

Try it now.

7th year

[itsalluseless]

[Battler isn't quite as bad at Transfiguration as he is at Charms, but it doesn't make much of a difference. After a great deal of trying and failing to affect any kind of change in his raven, he eventually gives up and just pokes it with his wand in the hopes that something will happen.]

[brainkegger]

Well, that's not the typical form.

[She crosses her arms and smirks at him.]

Try again.

[Action] 2nd year gryffindor, here!

[immortalhoodie]

[Kenny really is trying. Really.

[...Well, okay, maybe not that hard. He waves his wand around pathetically before deciding he'll give it a real shot. He mimics Professor Grayson's arm movements at the leaf. First, nothing happens, but then it sprouts even more leaves, and waitaminute. Isn't that that weird plant that Uncle Clancy had in his backyard that his parents told him to never speak about to anyone?]

...Um.

[He looks around, trying to cover up the plant with his robes.]

Nothing to see here. Just a botched up Transfiguration, that's all.

Re: [Action] 2nd year gryffindor, here!

[brainkegger]

[Tara catches him and, sensing he's trying to hide something, points her wand at him.]

What have you got there, Mr. McCormick?
