Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Tuesday, Second Period (11/06)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Tuesday, November 6, Second Period

The classroom today was decorated with posters and charts referring back to all of the hands-on prophecy activities the class had undertaken so far. Once every was settled in, Aziraphale stood to address the class.

"Today, rather than a written quiz, you're going to have a practical exam. There will be two parts: a reading for yourself, and a reading for one other classmate. A person can receive more than one reading if necessary. The only stipulation is that you choose one of the assigned methods for each reading."

Part One: Do a reading for yourself, using cartomancy, tea reading, or I Ching.

Part Two: Do a reading for a classmate, using chieromancy, chrystallomancy, or cartomancy.

"When you are finished, you may use the rest of the class time to read or talk quietly.

Announcement of Special Project: During our class time on November 20, we will be meeting at the Perk for an extra credit project. Throughout second period, you will be giving free fortune readings to anyone who comes by and asks for one. This is not a required activity. Extra credit will be applied to participants, but the attendance requirement will be waved for that day. Please catch me after class if you have questions."

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

Take the Test

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Do readings or handwave as you like.

After Chris did a tea reading on himself, he looked around to see if anyone wanted to pair up for part two.

After finishing her own reading, Anathema sat down next to Chris and stared at him, with a smile on her face.

Re: Take the Test

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Chris said, wondering why she was smiling at him.

Eve did an I Ching reading for herself, since it was one of the ones she was least experienced with.

And then she looked around to see who wanted to partner up with her.

Re: Take the Test

Lana looked over. "Interested in partnering up?" she asked.

Re: Take the Test

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Eve said with a nod. And partnering up with someone she actually knew, albeit vaguely? Score.

Annette did a tea reading on herself.

Lana did an I-ching reading about her love life - just for fun and got:
Hexagram 45 - Ts'ui (Gathering Together): The king will repair to his ancestral temple. It will be advantageous to meet with the great man. Then there will be progress and success, though the advantage must come through firm correctness. The use of great victims will be conducive to good fortune, and in whatever direction movement is made, it will be advantageous.

The topmost line, divided, shows its subject sighing and weeping, but there will be no error. The situation is evolving slowly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. The future says there is a lack of understanding between the different classes of men, and its indication is unfavorable to the firm and correct course of the superior man. We see in it greatness gone and the lesser come upon us. The things most apparent, show joy, pleasure, and attraction giving way to strength and creativity. The things least apparent represent docility and receptivity.

The weeping and sighing didn't sound good, but the evolving slowly sounded about right. Overall, she wasn't too sure about it.

Andros did a handwavey tea reading on himself.

Talk Amongst Yourselves

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Quietly please!

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

Chris was idly doodling in his notebook.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana playfully reached over and doodled a bit in his notebook.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette was drawing hearts in her notebook. As you do.

Talk to the TAs

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Once they've arrived.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew was there, but had is nose totally buried in a notebook and was giving out a strong vibe of wanting to be left alone as his mun is crazy scary swamped with the life.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris shot a worried glance at Andrew, but decided not to bother the other boy until later when his mun wasn't swamped.

Talk to Aziraphale

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

For your questions or other chatting needs.

OOC

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Now for coffee.

Re: OOC

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

OMG the world hates me this morning. SP is love if anyone wants to talk to the Andrew.
