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.]

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

Pippi's eyes widened at the sight of what's in Bel's pants NOT DIRTY.

"You're not supposed to have that out side the shooting range Bel. Whadda ya need it for anyway?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"I need it to protect myself and Phoebe," Bel said. "You know what kind of place this is."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

This is Pippi using her "buh face", congradulations.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"What, you know how dangerous Fandom is," Bel said.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Bel, you can get into a lot of trouble for carrying that around on school grounds and you won't be able to protect Phoebe if you're in detention or expelled."

Look at Pippi, being all "you should follow the rules", surely the end of the world is nigh.

"Besides you don't need a gun."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"Yes, I do," Bel said. "I don't have any powers anymore."

Yes, he was pouting.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"May I offer my deep and simultaneous congratulations and condolences?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"It sucks," Bel grumbled. "I feel so weak now."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi gently put a hand on his shoulder.

"Doesn't mean that you are weak."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"How am I s'posed to protect Phoebe now?" Bel complained.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"You don't need to be super strong to do that." Pippi said waving her hand. "Pip protects me all the time."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"Hence, the gun," Bel said, as if that proved his point.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Pip doesn't carry his guns around campus with him." Pippi countered.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"It's a stupid rule," Bel muttered stubbornly.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi is neither going to agree or disagree with that.

"Do you even know how to use it?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"'Course I do," Bel said. "It's pretty easy."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi looks unconvinced.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"I do!" Bel insisted.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"..."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

Bel rolled his eyes.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"What?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"You expect a different reaction to you just staring at me?" Bel said.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Bel, would a gun have stopped you?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"Slowed me down once," Bel said.
