Good Omens...And Bad: Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Lab Nine

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Friday, November 10, Second Period

Along with the usual spread of hot drinks and pastries, there are carefully arranged boxes of little coins, sticks, and other sundry divination accoutrements.

"Today we're doing an exercise in a specific type of bibliomancy, divination through the I Ching. There are a number of ways to accomplish this, some of them quite complex. For today's lab exercise, you're going to work with your partner and these handouts. Choose a casting method and try a few passes to see what you come up with.

"There will be no homework assignment today, unless you count my expectation of seeing all of you on the bus this afternoon for our field trip."

[ooc: Any supplies you might need for the various casting methods: turtle shell, yarrow sticks, etc, are available in the classroom. Please wait for OCD threads are up, class is in session!]

Constant Vigilance 2, Session 9. Friday the 10th, A Classroom. Period 4

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor was smiling as everyone piled into the classroom today.

"Hope everyone enjoyed their extra-long break from this class. Today we jump into something much bigger than just random alien races that you may never encounter. Today, we discuss the most important thing in the universe: friends. Nothing is really more important than having someone you can trust, someone you can rely on. I've had many such companions over the years. And instead of me talking about them..." the Doctor patted his holoprojector. "I'll have you talk to them, instead. That's the agenda for the day, nothing fancier than that. Talk with some of the people from my past, learn whatever you want from them."

He pressed the button for the projector to turn on, and several figures appeared.

"Go on, have at it. No homework for next week."

School Assembly, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The Tick took the stage once the audience was nice and full and smiled. "Crime is a broken drive-up ATM machine. It doesn't pay. Trust me, as a former full-time and current freelance Bank Teller of Justice I know this well. Sure, the ATM is faster when you get it to work, and it's the easier way to make money, but it'll break down, leaving you high and dry. And broke. It's best to park the car, go inside, do things right, and cross that Vestibule of Right because otherwise you're going to end up with nothing in time!"

"Trust me, I've been a superhero long enough, I know what I'm talking about!"

"Today's speakers are criminals who've learned how bad the life can be, who've learned that it's not worth the chance of saving a little bit of time only to end up unable to retrieve your Money from the Bank of Law."

[OOC: Standard assembly stuff. Threads for speakers are marked, please don't comment in those threads until the speaker has, speakers should also ping into the Q&A thread.]

If you were looking to talk to the Chef, don't bother. He's currently hiding underneath one of the tables. And if you were looking to talk to Das Schnitzel? Don't try that either. She was currently roaming the cafeteria with a large mallet, looking to hit the Chef over the head in hopes of reversing what she called his "Gilligan-itis".

"Zee Skeupper is tryung tu keel meeee!" cried the Chef.

Today's Menu:

-Chicken Pot Pie

-Tomato Soup

-Caesar Salad

-Chocolate Pudding

Library [11/10]

[likethegun]

Sam may have been a little more hyper than usual when he opened the library today. At least part of that was the result of having accidentally gotten an extra large coffee instead of a regular coffee. Oops.

Health Class, Friday, 11/10

Elliot waited until the class was assembled before she began speaking.

"OKay, guys, your midterm projects are due today -- a two-minute health PSA on the topic of your choice in the medium of your choice, as you know because I mentioned it last time we met and I'm pretty sure none of you are deaf or totally hate me. Yet."

"Wow me."

"I'll ask each of you questions after your presentations are done."
