Good Omens...And Bad: Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Lab Three

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Friday, September 21, Second Period

Instead of the usual lounge-like arrangement, today the classroom has been set up without any furniture at all. On the floor are numerous large and comfortable looking cushions. Hanging on one wall is an oversized palmistry diagram.

"Good morning, class. Before we begin our lab, I do want to remind you all that your project proposals for this lab section are due by the end of the day today. There is a drop box outside my office door for that purpose. Also, your group project proposals for the regular class are due today as well.

"Now, we're about to begin our first hands-on lab exercise, and so I thought it was fitting that today's lesson be truly, er, 'hands-on'. Find a seat next to your lab partner and make yourself comfortable. Today we will learn the art of chiromancy, or palm reading."

Aziraphale powers the wards on the classroom and then takes a seat on one of the cushions. "You may begin. Let me know if you need any assistance."

Lab Exercise
Using the following information on palmistry, do a reading for your partner.

The Basics of Palmistry

Two Step by Step Guides to Palm Reading

[ooc: Obviously, you can't do an actual reading for the other person. However, if you'd like to RP the lab, one possible solution would be to have your partner answer the questions found on the Step by Step sight, and then create your own interpretation based on that information. Or, make something up. It doesn't have to be accurate, especially for those characters with no actual divination talent.

Note: If your partner doesn't show up or tag in to RP and you'd like to play out the reading, ping me in the OOC and we'll switch people around or you can practice on Aziraphale.]

JOhn settles onto a beanbag cushion and waits for his lab partner. Bridge. Or Anders. Oh, crap, what was his name again?

"Hey, man," Anders said as he dropped onto a cushion opposite John. "I'm sorry if my reading is going to totally suck."

"No prob. I'm sure mine will suck and be delayed due to work/party. I can see it now: 'You will live to a ripe old age of negative 40 and have 100 kids' or something."

"Hey, as long as mine isn't 'The toasters are gonna come back, nuke your planet and the other Colonies, and leave you to run a group of commando survivors' I'm fine with whatever."

[OOC: Might have to SP this over the weekend since I'll have very limited access until Sunday afternoon . . .:/ ]

"Toasters? Have you been to the Sparky shop or something? Is it okay if it's deep fryers." He narrowed his eyes. "Sounds like you stole my backstory we've got something in common. Nukes? Commando survivors? Is your mom Linda Hamilton?"

"Cylons," Anders explained. "Um, the Colonies used to have these robots who were supposed to do heavy work and act like servants and stuff. But a couple decades ago they rebelled and there was this big old war which I'm sure sounds really familiar to you and they retreated to some other planet. You know, there's zero canon evidence on my mom, but that would be REALLY FUNNY and I think this needs to happen now, yes. They're probably never gonna come back. I just have dreams about that happening sometimes."

"So I'm not the only one who has nearly prophetic dreams about unstoppable human-shaped evil robots bent on destroying mankind. That's... good to know?" His expression didn't match his voice.

"So if both of us have rockets and robots on our palms, it won't be weird? I mean, not weird for Fandom."
