"The number four has to do with safety and caution." Quote:

However, she did write down what the actual game was, since, apparently they'll be playing it. Eh.
Well, here was something more that she understood. Numbers. Not the weird game that she couldn't remember the name of. "The number nine represents a more spiritual side then the other numbers as well as being a number of completion." she said, after raising her hand of course. It was still the 'old' number in her mind too. Teehee. Quote:

Double yay! But onto equally exciting things "The number one is the number of individuality, independence, focus and determination." He participated with his hand raised. Quote:

Luin quickly wrote down in her notes what Chien Tung/Chinese Fortune Sticks were, and then thought about what limited knowledge she had of it. She had never really looked much into it herself before but she thought she remembered hearing about one of the meaning of the numbers once before. Something her dad or mom had said at one point. She spent a bit thinking about it as some of the other students gave answers and then raised her hand, "The limits of human memory capacity lie within the range of 7 +/- 2. Seven is also the only number below 15 that cannot be represented as a sum of the squares of three integers." Quote:

She figured the professor wanted them to tell her not only something they knew about the numbers, but something they knew about the numbers that related to Arithmancy. Quote:

And mystery. A lot of that seemed to happen at Hogwarts.
And 7 was her lucky number! AND they were gonna decorate sticks?!?! Best. Lesson. Ever! Listening to each of the students, Josephina nodded as they all seemed to have a good grasp of the numbers one through nine. Except for one ... Who seemed to have head off someplace else? Or filled with pixie dust? Something of the sort . . . Quote:
Originally Posted by jengirls109 Oh boy, Jaina thought, this is NOT going well at all. At least she got to decorate some sticks. That would be pretty cool. "13 is supposed to be unlucky." she hoped that was right. "13 is actually one of those numbers that could be lucky or unlucky. It all depends on your beliefs, but Miss Maloney, I do believe I asked about the numbers one through nine only." She said, smiling at the young girl. Ah, she was only a first year ... So it was all well and good at this age. Now if in a couple years she was still doing the same thing, then it might be a concern. Walking toward the front corner, Josephina dragged a medium-sized box toward the center of the room. "Before we begin our activity, I want us, per Mister Uronen's suggestion," Or at least she'd let him think it was his idea and she hadn't been planning it before. It was just coincidence, the box, really. "To come up and select one of these sticks and use your wands to decorate them with a single meaningful number. This could be your life path number, destiny number, or some other number that you find significant in your lives. If you want help calculating one of these core numbers I mentioned, please feel free to ask myself or one of your classmates. Feel free to use a flashing Paint Charm, colour changing charm, or any other charm you see fit for your decorating."
So why were they still sitting? "You may come up now and select your sticks and begin decorating. Careful though." She said, as she herself took a few steps away. Last thing she wanted was a barrage of students coming at her... ooc reminders: Just a reminder that I should have made awhile ago: NO EDITING! It's in my rules and pretty much every class has that rule. Don't do it. I'd rather have you make another post and then I'll merge if necessary, but please DO NOT EDIT.
* Have fun with this; you have until about Noon EST (5pm GMT) to get this done [before I'll begin the next task]; so about 24 hours
* Feel free to make a graphic to show the final product with your character's decorations. Or if you don't do graphics, being descriptive with words is fine too =).
* Minimum three posts for full credit on this task.
