Hubris from Revelation: the Social Engineering of Ultimate Truths [Monday, Period 3]
Ghanima was completely unaffected by whatever was going around this week, apparently, as she sat serenely in front of the class.
Sometimes, being able to control yourself on the cellular level to, say, render a certain pollen inert was fantastic.
"Some of you are most likely having concentration issues today, so we'll keep this simple," she said, trying to keep a neutral face (though some essence of a smile was probably peeking through).
"Earlier in the semester we talked about prophets and oracles, and you had the chance to read your fortunes i if you liked. Now, since we're closer to the end of the semester, you have another chance to read your fate, or the fates of your classmates."
She gestured around the room, at the tarot cards, bones, oracle cards, kau chim, polished crystals, and various othermoddable devices. "There's many different ways to see the future. Just no necromancy in class, please."
Who knows? Perhaps visions of tiny visitors would dance in their heads!

Re: Activity: THE FUTURE
Of course Astrid was going straight for the tarot cards.
She was tempted to ask if she could run upstairs for her mother's white kimono, because it felt a little wrong doing a Magnussen reading without it, but she figured it would be fine.
She was also tempted to just do a quick reading on herself, just to see if maybe, just maybe, anything that hinted toward something...romantic was in the cards, which was something she'd never really dream or hope to do for herself before, but it was just that sort of day, she supposed.
On the other side of that coin, though, was the fact that she wasn't sure she actually would want to know.
She was curious what the cards would turn up today, though, shuffling them idly and looking around to see if anyone looked like they might be feeling a little adventurous or interested.
