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

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Monday, November 13, First Period

The classroom is in its usual arrangement, with the usual spread of hot drinks and pastries. Although not quite what was available at the Tangiers, unfortunately.

"Good morning. I hope you all got a good rest last night. Today we're going to discuss what you observed over the weekend. Also, please remember that your group projects are due this week. You can submit them today, or there will be a box outside my office all week. Also, don't forget to turn in last week's homework assignment."

LECTURE: "Over the weekend you observed 'professional' fortune tellers plying their trade. Tell the class something about your experience -- what did you observe, how accurate did the predictions seem, what tricks might they have used to make their predictions seem more personal than they really were?

In some places, public fortune telling is outlawed entirely, while other places have laws against telling fortunes for money. Do you believe that divination for profit should be against the law? Should it be regulated in some way?"

HOMEWORK: Finish your group projects and submit them by Friday. Mr Joxer and Miss Rutledge, I know your group has diminished significantly. Please see me after class if you have concerns about your project. [ooc: See the group project thread below for more details.]

Project Groups:
Blair, Phoebe, Belthazor, Lavender
Anders, Nadia, Walter, Pippi
Bridge, Dean, Dawn, Sam
Marty, John Connor, Lyra, Eric
Joxer, Agnes, Maia, John Constantine

[ooc: Please wait patiently for Your patience has been rewarded. OCD is now up.]

"So am I!" Bel said feebly. "Usually."

Dean smirked a little. "Just not when fangs are involved?"

"It wasn't the fangs!" Bel said, lying through his teeth. "It was the toplessness and all that."

"It wasn't them rubbing their boobs on you that had you blissed out," Dean pointed out.

"I...." Bel groaned. "There's nothing I'm going to say that's going to wipe that smirk off your face, is there?"

"Probably not," Dean confirmed, still smirking.

Bel briefly debated banging his head on his desk. "I'm never gonna live this down," he sighed.
