Good Omens...And Bad: Prophecy in Theory and Practice: Lab Twelve - Period 2

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson had carefully dethawed and in some instances reheated the baked goodies that Phale had made and left for his Prophecy class. Schleping them up to the school, the young doctor headed into the class room and supressed a sigh at the homey configuration that reminded him of it's missing professor.

Setting up the baked nummies along with a group of hot beverages ranging from cider to cocoa, Wilson got himself some hot cider and a few gingersnap cookies and then settled down in an armchair to wait for the students to arrive.

When everyone was settled and in their seats, Wilson stood up, carefully took roll then set his cider aside for a moment.

"Good morning. As I'm sure you are all aware, Professor Aziraphale has had to leave us for a bit and I am helping his TAs cover his classes. Aziraphale left behind handouts for today's lab exercises and if you have any questions about the material, please speak with Miss Halliwell or Miss Belacqua. I will also be here if you have any general questions or concerns. Also, I wanted to let you all know that I am looking forward to today's performance. I have a video camera and will be taping it for Aziraphale to enjoy if when he returns."

Giving the class a reassuring smile, Wilson walked to where the handouts were sitting on the desk and began to pass them out to the class.



LAB TWELVE (FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, SECOND PERIOD)

LECTURE: Onomancy (also sometimes referred to as onomamancy)is the process of divination through one’s name. This style is more frequently seen in China and Japan, where the characters used to spell a name also hold other meanings. It can, however, be done using the traditional meanings of Western names as well.
Onomancy Handout

Graphology, or handwriting analysis, also has a parallel in the
scientific world. The difference is that while the science of analyzing handwriting is done to produce an understanding of the writer’s personality, the divinatory skill is used to produce a prediction for the writer.
Graphology Handout

LAB EXERCISE: Using your handouts, do a name or handwriting divination for yourself or for your lab partner.

[NOTE: This graphology link is available if you want to do a “real” handwriting analysis. This onomancy link
will do name analysis for you.]

Anyone paying attention to Bel might notice a suspicious bulge under his jacket.

NOT DIRTY.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

Normally, Wilson probably wouldn't have noticed or even remarked upon suspicious bulges upon Bel's person.

But after their conversation yesterday, he was definitely studying the young man, more out of concern than out of suspicion. However, as he watched Bel move to sit, watched the tug of his jacket, Wilson...began to wonder.

So, as the class worked on their lab exercises, he stood up and walked over to Bel.

"Good morning, Belthazor."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"Morning," Bel said , realizing it was his turn to tag on the other post, d'oh. "Feeling better today?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson nodded, arms crossed and from his vantage point of standing...that bulge was looking more and more suspicious.

"I am, thank you." He said in a quiet voice. "How about yourself?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

Bel was a little distracted by Anders and his lip-licking and didn't notice that Wilson was staring at his bulge notdirty.

"Hanging in there," he said weakly. "Stopped feeling like I want to throw up all the time I guess."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"That's good." Wilson agreed and then, because it was what brought him over here in the first place, he just went ahead and asked.

"Bel, what's up with your jacket?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"Nothing?" Bel said.

Because that had worked so well with Phoebe earlier.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Bel...was the world's worst liar.

"Belthazor?" Eyebrow twitch, hands on hips.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"It's nothing!" Bel said. Flailing his arms might have opened his jacket a little, revealing the gun tucked into his pants.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Are you okay Bel?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

Bel shrugged a little. "Guess so," he said, not sure how far news of his new "condition" had spread.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"... Did you find a puppy?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"Huh?" Bel blinked at Pippi. "I don't have a puppy. We have cats."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Is that a cat in your jacket then? Or are you just glad to see me?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

Bel patted the bulge. "Just a little self-defense," he said.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"An attack kitty?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"No, a gun," Bel said, shifting his jacket a little so that Pippi could see it in his pants.

John's bored doing the assignment, so he's looking around the class.

And sees Wilson and Bel. And Bel handing something over. Is that...?

No, even Fighty Koala wouldn't be that stupid.

He pokes Bel with his crutch to get his attention.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

Bel batted the crutch away. "What?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Dude. Whaddya mean, 'what.' What was that?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"A gun," Bel said simply.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Since when do you pack heat?" the fuck?

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"Felt like something different," Bel said evasively.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"In class?! That's against the rules. Unless..."

John was lost in thought for a moment.

"Does that mean... that... that they've rescinded the rule?" John would do a happy dance if, y'know, cast.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"No, hence Wilson confiscating it," Bel grumbled.
