Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Class Five, Tuesday (10/02)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't have been Aziraphale's class if there were no breakfast pastries and pots of tea and coffee on the table in the center of the room. Since it was Aziraphale's class, those items were conveniently available for the students to enjoy.

The teacher himself had just finished setting up a display of scrying implements, and turned to the class once everyone was seated.

"As you can see, today's exercise will be in chrystallomancy, or crystal gazing. Before we begin the exercise, however, I want to give you a brief lecture on dream interpretation. You may think it odd that the lecture would focus on dreams while the exercise covers scrying, but really the two are very similar. The same sorts of symbolism you're going to encounter in your dreams is also very often present in chrystallomancy as well."

Aziraphale proceeded to give his lecture on dream interpretation, and gave each student several different handouts and a blank journal.

"Your homework for is to keep a dream journal for the next week. One of your handouts has some good pointers on methods for keeping them. When you come to the next class, I'd like you to bring a written interpretation of one of the dreams from your journal. Now, we'll move on to today's class exercise."

He gave a short talk on the basics of chrystallomancy, and then said, "Now, pair up and choose a crystal or scrying mirror to work with, and do a reading for your partner. Also, please don't forget to turn in your homework assignment from last week."

Turn in Last Week's Homework

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Take a deck of cards with you and do a reading on someone outside of this class. Write down the reading and your interpretation of it.

Lana couldn't even think about the reading. She'd done it on Jim and there hadn't been a hint of any of this. She turned it in and knew she'd just tear it up when she got it back.

Oooops.

Wyatt raised his hand. "Umm, I kind of forgot to do the homework on account of forgetting who I was. Can I have an extension?"

"I have the same excuse as him." Anathema said, gesturing at Wyatt.

Andrew was relieved the other TA hadn't done his homework either. "Same here," Andrew said.

Aziraphale raised an eyebrow and gazed in amusement at his class.

"So what you're telling me is that you all procrastinated on getting your homework done before the weekend, and then got caught unawares by the memory problems?"

Andrew glanced about at his fellow classmates and said, "Yeah, that's pretty much it." Then he hastily added, "For me, at least."

Wyatt nodded. "I was totally going to do it Saturday," he said.

Annette handwavily turned in her homework having done a totally moddable and handwavey reading on Dick.

Her interpretations were somewhat surprising in the fact that she made most of them up. But hey, homework was done.

Andros turned in his completely handwavey reading and interpretation.

Neil turned in a complete handwavey thorough reading for his homework assignment.
