Basics of Alchemy - Monday, Fifth Period - 11/24

She smiled as her class filtered into the room.

"Today, we're going to have a two part exercise. I won't be lecturing until later in the class; in fact, you're going to be teaching each other, in a sense, so my lecture will hopefully just fill in a few gaps and holes.

"Please pair up into groups of two or three and I'll explain the exercise."

"So far, we've covered five of the seven metals represented in alchemy. What I would like you to do for this exercise is think about the various connotations, uses, and other such mental associations you might have, as well as your knowledge of the other five, to think about what the last two metals might cover.

"Tin and lead, please. Team up as I've said and get to, hmm? I'll be giving a brief lecture afterwards to hopefully fill in any gaps you'd have missed."

Savannah waited for a team member while she wrote things down.

"You use lead to protect yourself from stuff. Radiation, that sort of thing," Harry said. "That might have something to do with something, right?"

Considering you'd hopefully chatted amongst yourselves already, the lecture shouldn't be so bad.

"Tin, associated with of all planets Jupiter, is the preserver. I'm sure you've opened up a tin of fish or somesuch at any manner of points in your life, most of you."

She proceeded to go on about tin (http://www.levity.com/alchemy/kollerstrom_tin.html) for a few minutes before skipping over to lead (http://www.levity.com/alchemy/kollerstrom_saturn.html).

"Lead, on the other hand, is the ground to tin's airiness. Where Jupiter is the god of the sky, Saturn is the god of the deep underground, the earth, and such is his metal a dense, 'base' material. It has been used for bullets and tombs, and for the longest time poisoned the populace through pewter mugs in various alehouses..."

Savannah took carefully detailed notes.

Hinata silently took detailed notes as she listened to the lecture.

Who are always nifty.

Savannah is here.

Sam was ~~definitely nifty omg!~~ there, taking careful notes.

Who was at the back and happy to take questions.

Who is cold as she was first in the office this morning.
