fandomhigh | Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Tuesday Second Period (10/09)

Tuesday, October 9, Second Period

The ususal breakfast goodies were laid out on the table. Additionally the seating was all arranged into pairs, with a table holding a small pot and two cups next to each pair.

"Today's class discussion is on the topic of scam artists and prediction. I'd like to hear your opinions on some of the following questions:

-Does charging money for telling fortunes affect the validity of a prediction?
-Do fortune-teller con artists harm the reputation of "real" seers?
-How can legitimate prophets and seers counteract the public perception of fortune-tellers as cons?"

Once the discussion was over, Aziraphale gave a brief lecture and presented some handouts on tea (and coffee) reading.

"Your in-class activity today is to read tea leaves or coffee grounds for yourself or -- preferably -- for a classmate. You may also want to get in some practice outside of class, as we will be using today's activity as the basis for a special project in a few weeks."

[ooc: ~~Please wait for the~~ OCD is up and class is in session.]

"How about you? Have a good weekend?" Andrew inquired.

Chris nodded. "Yeah, got to hang out with a few folks."

"Oh, so you have some, um, friends that came back this weekend?" Andrew had noticed a lot of new faces, but he hadn't really known any of them.

"Yeah, my Fandom High big sister and my alternate universe mom."

"Your alternate universe mom? Is that weird?"

Andrew got a very queer look on his face.

"I guess a little," Chris admitted. "Since she's only a couple years older. But it's also kind of nice since I never knew my mom. One of my aunts graduated from here in May and another one is a student here now."

Andrew got quiet. He rubbed his palms together, thoughtful.

"Do you think..." He didn't finish the statement, but sat there for a moment frowning.

Finally he said, "Never mind."

"What?" Chris asked.

In truth, Andrew was contemplating this idea that he might have alternate universe parents out there, but he doesn't like to talk about his parents.

"It's nothing, sorry," he said.

Chris shrugged. "Okay."
