| | Basic Arithmancy Lesson 3b - The Pitch
The gates to the stadium have been opened and once inside you notice a sign that reads, "Professor Shackleton's Basic Arithmancy class, please wait here." There is nothing else on the pitch at the moment, other than this sign. OOC: This lesson is for first, second, and third years ONLY. Any students in fourth year and above who post will be dismissed. |

Celandine flew down the pitch, mentally going through the textbook and trying to figure out... oh! She knew this! She picked up the colour swatch she thought was the right one and zoomed back to professor Shackleton, "This one Professor?"

She raced back down to the other side of the pitch to look for another colored swatch. She found one and hoped it was right. She had no idea after this one. She raced back down and hopped off her broom. "Is this one correct?" She asked as she handed it over.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sloane W. Fordyce First Year | Cheesy Mac Professor Shackleton posted the scores for this turn in midair: Quote:
Sakura - 3 pts
William - 3 pts
Celandine - 2 pts
Paris - 1 pt
Ana - 1 pt
"Nicely done everyone! I'm going to spice this up a bit and make it a bit trickier. You'll have to do some thinking, based on my clue and the information in your textbook. "Bring me the gemstone of the number whose main challenge is to have any relationship with another human being. GO!"
OOC: I'm going to give an hour between turns, until I go to sleep. Then I'll resume in the morning. I'll give you fair warning when I leave for the night

Celandine listened carefully, figuring she'd gotten the hang of things now. She zoomed as fast as she could to the end of the pitch and dismounted her broom before sorting a bit frantically through the gemstones looking for... oh that one! Celandine slipped the stone in her glove and mounted her broom again, kicking off and staying low as she flew back to Professor Shackleton. "Is this the right one Professor?" Cela asked, taking it out of her glove and holding it up so that it caught the light and glinted, reflecting the mischevious look of enjoyment in her eyes. This one was harder, but it was her best guess.

Sakura zoomed down the pitch towards the stones. This time it was tricky and she was having trouble deciding between two gems. Finally she grabbed one and raced back down the pitch to Shackleton hoping that she was correct. "Is this right?" she asked her hesitantly.

| The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas. William quickly zoomed off towards the end of the pitch where the gems were and picked a gem. He had a feeling it was right, but he wasn't exactly sure. Frowning again he turned and headed back with gem in hand, getting off his broom and handing it over, "Is this right? "He asked perplexed. Honestly he had no clue.

Paris stood there and looked at Professor Shackleton with her mouth hanging open. Could she have made that any harder? She had no idea what she was talking about. She ran over to her bag and yanked out her textbook. She quickly skipped to the right chapter and she ran her finger down the book reading as fast as she could.
She snapped the book shut and hopped back on her broom. "Ouch!" She hopped a little too hard on that one. That was going to leave a mark. She zoomed down to the other end of the pitch and searched for the right gemstone. She found it and got back to the rest of the students pretty quickly. "Is this the right one?" She asked showing Professor Shackleton.

Esme - 2 pts
Ana - 1 pt
William - 1 pt
Paris - 1 pt Flying in circles at midfield, Professor Shackleton announced the next clue, "This one may be equally difficult, or maybe moreso... Bring me a color swatch this time. "This number is the champion of the underdog and is considered the 'cosmic parent.' GO!" OOC: This will probably be the last one for tonight, but we'll definitely resume tomorrow morning. Hope you're enjoying the lesson thus far!

Celandine listened carefully to the next instruction and swooped toward the other end of the pitch. Colour swatch time! Celandine scooted her broom low, not bothering to dismount, she just hovered there and sorted through the swatches looking for the one she thought was the right answer. Once she had it she pulled her broom up and looped back toward the centre of the field. Cela dismounted and presented the colour swatch. "This one, Professor Shackleton?" Cela asked, sure she was right but wanting confirmation anyhow. It was getting harder!

Sakura raced towards the colour swatches and quickly grabbed one. She was sure she was going to be wrong but at least she would have tried. Reaching the professor she held out the swatch and asked, "Is this correct?"

| The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas. William hopped on his broom again and took off towards the color swatches, his mind already revving with the number. Now all he had to do was remember the color, which was difficult. Squinting slightly he stopped and looked down picking up a color and nodding before tuning carefully and zooming back to the middle here he got off and handed it over. "This looks right." he said smiling.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sloane W. Fordyce First Year | Cheesy Mac Professor Shackleton hung upside from her broom while the students zoomed down the pitch. She righted herself as they returned and mentally tallied the scores, which she projected with the help of her wand: Quote:
Celandine - 3 pts
Sakura - 2 pts
William - 1 pt
Once the scores were projected, Professor Shackleton gave them their next task, "Bring me the gemstone of the number to which the following qualities would be important: beauty, love, giving, and artistic expression. GO!"

Professor Shackleton cleared her throat and gave the next clue, "Bring me the color swatch of the number that matches this - If the powerful energies present with this number are abused by indulgence in grandiose dreams of self-glorification, then this number will lower its vibration and become the workhorse, bean counter, or laborer, instead of the enterprising spiritual leader this number promises."

Speeding off to the other side of the pitch with his mind set firmly on what colour he needed, Jake soon became distracted by the colours and forgot what he was doing. Oh no! Thinking hard, Jake thought as hard as he could and grabbed the colour he thought might be right. That being done, he zoomed back to the middle of the pitch and held it out. "This one?"

| The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas. William zoomed off to the other end of the pitch, feeling much more secure in flying than before as he stopped and looked around for the color he needed. Spotting it he quickly hopped off his broom and picked it up, carrying it carefully as he hopped back on his broom and flew back, getting off his broom once more. "Is this one the correct one?" He asked holding it out.
