Good Omens...And Bad: Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Class Seven

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Monday, October 16, First Period

In addition to the usual comfy chairs and breakfast spread, there are several stacks of books scattered about the room.

"Good morning. Today we're going to do something a little different. I know that lately, you've had to deal with some rather difficult topics in this class. Prophecy isn't an easy subject, and that's especially true for those of you who've already had first-hand experience with it. So today, I want you to take some time to decompress. Work with your project group if you like, catch up on some reading-" He nodded toward the books. "Or just talk quietly with your friends. I'll be here all period for anything that you'd like to discuss with me, any questions you might have about the class, or anything else. There are handouts for you that cover the class topics for today. Those of you enrolled in the lab will find some of this material familiar, but there's more in-depth information here for you.

Also, I'll need to speak with Miss Belacqua, Miss Brown, and Miss Nitt before the end of class today."

Handouts:
Chieromancy #1
Chieromancy #2

Homework: Look up the astrological chart for your date of birth. Write out a simple description of what it says about your personality, and note any differences of opinion between your own perception of yourself and what the chart says." [ooc: You only need to enter information for date/time/place to get a reading. Make up something for the time unless your canon is OCD enough to provide it for you.]

A Note on Group Projects: The first stage of class projects is due November 13. Remember, this is the part where you write your own prophecy. Once the projects are turned in, I will assign them to another group to be interpreted.

[ooc: Apologies for wimping out on today's class. I promise there'll be twice as much effort put into next week's. And yes, we're a little off the syllabus. I'll be updating it soon. Please wait for OCD threads are up.]

There just aren't that many snappy ways of saying "write your name here".

"Mr. Phale?" Nadia was looking over the homework with concern. "I can't do the homework assignment."

Re: Talk to the Professor

Aziraphale figured immediately that he knew why. It was a possibility he'd considered when making the assignment, and wondered if any of his students would have this problem.

"You can't answer the questions necessary for the chart?" he guessed. "It's quite all right, my dear. How about finding a friend to do the chart for, and then assessing what you see about their personality versus what the chart says?"

Lyra walked up to her professor, looking absolutely mortified.

"Miss Brown, I need an excuse from you for your absence from last Monday's class."

Dawn raised her hand, hoping she could talk to Professor Aziraphale about the homework somewhere a little more private.

Re: Talk to the Professor

Aziraphale nodded at Dawn and smiled. "Yes, Miss Summers?"

Agnes waited for a good opportunity before approaching. She still had a faint rash of squares visible on her face and hands.

Re: Talk to the Professor

"Good morning, Miss Nitt," Aziraphale said, his welcoming smile fading into a slight frown of concern as he eyed the rash. "I suspect you're going to tell me you've been ill?"

Talk Amongst Yourselves

For all of your studying, gossiping, non-fireball-related interaction needs.

Nadia sat at her desk with her bic lighter, pumping the gas into her fist and then lighting it to try and create a fireball.

Nadia looked over her notes from the class, a little concerned by how much of it seemed to be made up of bizarre mathematical equations.

"We should probably start working on that project huh?"

Marty throws a paper airplane at Nadia with a note written on it.

"You haven't gone to the clinic for an injury in months. You feeling okay?" :)

"Decompress" may have equalled "nap" in Bel's eyes....

Blair dumped out the contents of his backpack on his desk and looked around for his group. He could finally show everyone the items he'd gathered for their project.

Dean looked to be deeply communing with his cup of coffee. Either that or he just really wanted to still be in bed. Either or. He also was looking a little worse for wear around the edges.

John is intent on doing the homework, and catching up on other classes. He doesn't mean to start falling asleep.
