Perhaps it was the long-awaited part where it was her turn to do the lesson that was getting her nervous? Yes, the waiting.

At long last, he turned the lesson over to her for the Arithmancy portion. "Thank you, Professor Zookara," Fina said politely, as she nodded subtly in his direction. Turning her attention on the class, she gave a small smile before beginning. "You all are probably wondering, 'what in the world does this strange muggle communication device have to do with numbers?'" It was a simple enough question and totally legit.

"If you all look carefully at each of the numbers on here, you'll notice that the numbers two through nine have letters next to them. For those of you who took my class last term, you might remember the lesson on Cryptomancy." She paused allowing them to think back to a year or so ago. "Well with this lesson I wanted to touch on a different style of cryptic messages, as well as possibly trying some variations on common calculations." Flicking her wand, the chart appeared on the board with each number and they're corresponding letters:

Text Cut: Numbers on the Phone

"As a warm up, I want you to convert the following numbers into words using the phone as our 'number system'." Josephina flicked her wand again as some words/phrases appeared on the board below the number system:

423539
9665272
3663 47 5683
8447 47 386!
226 4 46 938?

ooc: Please do just one - to give others a chance - and have your character raise their hand and speak it out. Points are first correct answer for this particular question (but I will take points if you post more than one answer ;D)

Ooooh! A puzzle! Kurumi really liked puzzles. Maybe they were going to calculate their heart numbers or perhaps their personality number's later? Or was this going to be a class with a strange version of Morris Code?

Kurumi flew to her parchment as she began trying to crack the code.

Kurumi raised her hand. "Professor, I believe that the 3663 47 5683 line should be 'FOOD IS LOVE'?" She was pretty sure that 47 had to be IS as no other two letter words could be made with those combinations...were they going to eat something? Like...maybe have an end of the year party?
