This looked fun.. though Ira didn't really understand how it was played. She figured she would get that while playing the game itself. So she looked for her Personal day number. It was 6. So she tagged herself as number 6 and went to the side and touched the desk, to first observe what was going on.. |

Zhenya quickly grabbed on to the table, seeing the game had started already. No number ones.... not yet. http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/...arletJ/one.jpg |

Why were they forming groups? Was it necessary that a certain number would dominate the others? She first heard it from Kurumi, then from Alyssa, who incidentally was also number six. She looked around. She really did not get the point of forming teams. And because of that, she walked over to where Kurumi was..And, "TAG!" Beezus mumbled. |

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/...arletJ/one.jpg |
And there was Zhenya standing, with number one tagged. She could be Ira's target.. But no, she could not be, she was still touching the desk. So who else? Ira looked around and she herself went and stood midway between the desks and the center. After all, she could run back to the desks if needed, right? Oops! But by then, Zhenya had already tagged her! So now she was number 1! Okay-dokay! |

"Alright, so, we are all fives and I am sure that there are others, but just hanging out here isn't accomplishing anything, so we ought to target the same sort of people together. Any of us get tagged, we should try to tag each other back so we go back to being fives." It was simple math really. Kurumi looked back out at the classroom. Now...who was looking lonely. "So, who should we try to get to join our little five family?" Alliterations, they were lovely things. And really, that was their cue to go ahead and start chasing people. Standing around was boring. Hehe. |
Zhenya was glad to see there was another red one! She smiled, not even sorry she had tagged her because she had a fellow-red number team mate :D http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/...arletJ/one.jpg |

Kurumi!! So, Ira began doing her calculations.. her personal month number was 7 ansd 7+3 equals 10 which equals 1! So there, she had got her answer. So the date should be 3rd october! Now she looked around for more targets. She was being a bit slow and needed to quickenup! She first grabbed a desk and looked around. Aah! There was Kurumi. Ira ran towards her and tagged Kurumi as number 1! Quote:
|
Alyssa quickly ran out and managed to get near enough to Butterfly to "TAG" her before running back and touching her desk. |
OH! Her bad. Kurumi has her hand on the desk. Beezus walked around the middle of the classroom. Would someone please play with her? She was tired of standing and just watching her classmates on either sides seemingly gluing their hands to their desks. "Someone tag me? PLEASE?" the eaglet said. Her team mates won't be happy. But she just wanted to enjoy the activity! |
Just another OOC message (or two) about the game; If someone tags you, then YES you will become that number. BUT for complete credit you should determine a day in October - given your Personal Month Number - that would give you that Personal Day number. Two: If you're touching the desk, just as you can't be tagged, you can't tag others either. It's safe. |
Zhenya stood at the desk, touching it. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to do the math, so until she got her head around the formula and numbers to work out the alternate date, she would be safe. She began thinking numbers in her head |
*points to rules* Nodding to her fellow fives, Kurumi stepped further away from her desk when... Quote:
Beezus came out of no where and tagged her. What number was the little Claw again? A six? Scratching her head, Kurumi thought for a moment. Okay, so her Personal Day Number was 5 and now she needed to think of a date that would give her a Personal Day Number of 6. Her Personal Month Number was 6, so.... "October 18," Kurumi said outloud. Quote:
Seeing that Ira was a 1 at the time of the tag, Kurumi set to rubbing her temples again as she thought. "October 13," Kurumi said outloud, becoming a 1 now. 13 turned into 4, and then when you added 4 to her Personal Month Number of 6 you got 10 which became one. Done deal. Quote:
|
Come and get me. I want to practice my calculations Alyssa decided to venture out. 'Hey the aim of the game was not to remain the same number for the entire game but to actually learn how to calculate other personal numbers' Alyssa thought to herself. So she stood out in the open and dared for someone to tag her. |
SPOILER!!: Kurumi Seeing Kurumi again in the middle tagging Beezus, Ira rushed again and tagged her with number 6! "You number 6 now!" Ira said! |
Zhenya really had no idea how to calculate the numbers... she was a bit lost but thought she could always get help. She let go of the desk and walked slowly towards the other side of the class to the safe zone. But she was not quite there http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/...arletJ/one.jpg |
Quote:
|
Quote:
And then herself went towards the desks to be in the safe zone again! Quote:
Beezus was still busy doing calculations when Ira went towards her and tagged her as number 6! "We're both number 6 now!" she said, "Lets find others!" Saying so, Ira ran back to the sidelines and touched the desks again! |
Okay, she was now number 6... uhhohh - her eyes widened as she began to attempt the formula... |

Alyssa was wondering whether she was visible or not. She was standing out in the middle of the class, and nobody was tagging her. She sighed in frustration. Was she going to have to sit on the floor until someone decided to tag her? |
Quote:
"October 27," she murmured, rubbing her temples with her fingers. 2 plus 7 made nine, and when you added it to the 6 of her Personal Month Number it made 15 which reduced to 6. Quote:
|
Ira saw Alyssa standing in the middle, waiting for someone to tag her.. She giggled.. And no, Ira surely couldn't help her even if she wanted to! Because she herself was number 6, like Alyssa! |
Quote:
|
Okay what date she needed to get number 6? Her personal day number was 1, so surely that would be the 5th of October, as 1+5=6? http://i43.tinypic.com/o03z29.jpg She quickly dashed into the center of the room and TAGGED Alyssa! |
It was boring to be in the sidelines! So Ira slowly left her desk and went towards the middle of the room and looked around. As far as she could tell, there was no other number! But, of course, there had to be.. She waited in the center of room along with Alyssa.. Maybe she could tag someone or maybe someone would tag her! Either way, it would be sure fun! |

So they were going to play tag. Gideon had a somewhat interesting feeling of deja vu as they moved the desks to the side of the room for more space, the game feeling like it was gonna be very similar to their capture the flag game in charms. Just without the flags of course. Hopefully at least, some of his fellow players might be a bit more fair this time. Getting tagged was all part of the fun...right? They would see about that. Situating himself in the middle area, not too exposed but not too close to the desks to be safe, Gideon debated his first move as the game began and action was moved into full swing. The boy looking around the room and wondering who of the students around him were his fellow sevens and who were the ones who could readily attack him at any moment. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...Work/seven.jpg |
Alyssa started to yawn as she sat in the middle of the free zone. At the rate this game was going for her, it looked like she was going to remain a 6 for the rest of the game. |
Sophie stayed by a desk, holding it as if she was stopping it from running away. Her eyes were a little widened as she watched the others and tried to understand the game. http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/...arletJ/one.jpg |
Seeing Alyssa yawn, made Ira yawn to.. this was a weird habit of humans! Then she saw a boy in the center with number 7. Yes, she would tag him.. Thinking soi, ira went towards him, attempting to tag him.. |

Although, at this rate there were going to be more sixes than everything else and the game would end prematurely. Kurumi decided not to go for a desk just yet, and hung out in the middle, waiting for a non 6 person to come along before rushing to sit on one. |
Quote:
She thought a million of dates for the different numbers and approached him, "Are you a seven like me?" She asked, if he wasn't she could probably dodge him tagging her but if he was a seven they could work together, maybe. http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/...itch/seven.jpg |
Finally!! Thanks lot. Quote:
She calculated her new Personal Day Number and picked the day 18th. Her Personal Month number was 7 so her calculations would be 18 + 7 = 9 +7 = 16 1+6=7 |
Quote:
Ira begn her calculations.. personal month number was 7.. so 7+21 would be 7+3 which would be 10 which would be 1! So her date would be 21st october! |
Quote:
"My Month Number thingy is a 2... so to be 6... October 4th!" she calculated in her head, looking at pretty much nothing. |
After a HUGE thank you to Kurumi, Zhenya FINALLY had the right number. The date would be the 4th of October. Knowing what, she went into the middle wearing her blue number 6. Something else this time? |
Quote:
Quote:
"October 6th," he replied when it finally came to him. 6+8 was 15 which became 6. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...20Work/six.jpg |
Quote:
Before she got bored, Sophie walked to the middle of the class again, looking around. She actually wanted to be tagged so she could calculate more! And it seemed to have lots of 6's now. |
Ira too waved to Sophie. What! She had been tagged by number six? Ira went forwards to tag her, when.. Quote:

Looking between Zhenya and Sophie, she decided she'd tag both of them at once! Thinking so, she went near them, smiling all the way and tagged them, "Hey both of you! Be number 1 now!" |
Quote:
http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/fbf3d919.jpg |
Quote:
Okay.. so 7+.. what? Yeah 7+9 would be 16 which would equal 7 again! Yess! She had got her answer! It was 9th October! |

"Well, I was 1 before, so the day would be the 17th." she thought. "Now... the 5th. Or... 14th! Or eveeen... 23th!" http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/fbf3d919.jpg |
Quote:
|
Alyssa waited in the middle of the free zone to see whether she could tag more non-7 players. This game was getting interesting now. |
Sophie looked around. "Noooo! There are too many number 7's now!" she thought to herself. She wanted to tag people, but she didn't want the game to be over just yet. So, once again, Sophie walked calmly to the center of the room and stood there, waiting to get tagged aagain and hoping she would have a chance to run back to the safe zone before getting tagged by a "popular" number again. http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...s/fbf3d919.jpg |
Quote:

Ira looked around her. There appeared to be only number 7's now. All her friends were number 7 too! So did they win? No the game could not end this soon! Ira wanted to enjoy some more and play. So she too went near Sophie and Alyssa and stood besides them, grinning at them and searching for a potential target! "We are in majority it seems!" she said |
Yes, it seemed to be mostly (or only) sevens now. She walked over to stand Sophie and some other girls she didn't know the name of, who were looking out for http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/...itch/seven.jpg |
Quote:
"By the way, I'm Ira" she said, extending her hand towards the girl. |
Quote:
Glenn looked around the classroom ,they all seemed to be sevens now. Unless there was a couple of other numbers all hidden in the crowd of students. http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/...itch/seven.jpg |
ooc: Heading off to bed now. But feel free to tag me :D Quote:
|
for those wondering...this help was in VMs XD And no more tagging Kurumi for now <3 Kurumi flashed Zhenya a quick smile and a wink as she walked around the classroom. Numbers were such confusing things at times, and she was glad that she had been able to provide some guidance as to how to calculate. Quote:
So wait...now what number had Alyssa been? 7? Kurumi thought she saw a flash of something purple. Okay, 7... Kurumi was beginning to forget what her Personal Month Number was there were so many numbers swimming in her head. She had started off as a 5, right? "October 19," Kurumi said, having done the calculations in her head. Now that that was done, Kurumi opted to hang back a bit and went back towards the desks where she leaned against one, BOTH HANDS on the desk. |
SPOILER!!: Professor Hadley answering Tayla's question "Thank you, Professor," Tayla replied and decided to study the meanings of her numbers when she got back to the dormitory. SPOILER!!: Professor Hadley's question Tayla raised her hand and explained the calculations she had made. "The Personal Year Number is calculated by adding your month of birth, day of birth, and the current calendar year. For example, my birth month is August so that would be eight, plus my day of birth which is seven, plus this year, two thousand seventy six. "When adding the numbers, they have to be reduced to one digit numbers, so before going on with the formula, I reduce two thousand seventy six by adding them up, which gives me...fifteen. One and five then gives me six. "Now I can proceed with the formula. My birth month eight, plus my birth day seven, plus the reduced number of the current year, six. That gives me the sum twenty-one. Having to reduce it to one digit, I add two and one, giving me the final answer of three for my personal year number." SPOILER!!: The Activity "Ooh! This game is going to be fun," Tayla thought as she helped push the desks to the side of the room. She then looked back at her parchment to check her personal day number. "I'm a three!" she called out, going back to the center. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/three.jpg Quote:

Another game?! Jezzabelle stood there not really sure what to do or where to go. Looking around her she realized that there were more sevens than needed. So in that case she was going to try her hardest to maintain her six. http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/a...sie347/six.jpg |
Quote:
That was his number. Hades remained at the side of the classroom with his finger lightly touching the desk as his eyes scanned for students with other number |
Oh, wow. Amelia felt stupid when she realised she did a calculation wrong. It was what happened when her mind was a blank after studying, and she was tired. :mellow: She quickly fixed her mistake: SPOILER!!: calculations There, so she had been one off in her calculations. Not too bad, really. She grabbed a number eight, and moved towards the middle of the classroom. |
Quote:
|
SPOILER!!: Tayla Alyssa smiled a hello to Tayla before she realized that she had been tagged. "Oh that is a smart way of tagging somebody, by introducing themselves," Alyssa smiled at Tayla before walking over to the safe desk for 3." "Okay my Personal Month year is 7 and so now I need a day, to get a Personal Day number of 3 and I pick the 23rd. 23 +7 = 5 + 7= 12 1+2 =3 Once she was officially a 3, Alyssa went back out to the middle of the free zone to see whether she could tag any non-3s. |
Quote:
She did the quick math in her head now. "October 16!" She was sure there were others, but that was the one she was sticking to. :33 |
Keefer was excited for this activity. It sounded cool! And it was a good way to get them to practice but still have fun. Nice move, Hadley! he thought. Well, his Personal Day Number had been 7, so that's what he would start out with. He bravely moved out into the center of the circle, ready to dodge if need be. |
Quote:
"You've been tagged as a number 4!" |
Quote:
"My Personal Month Number is an 8, and I need to get down to a four... How about the 5th?" He checked himself again, just to make sure. 8 + 5 = 13 + 1 + 3 = 4 "Yes, I choose October 5." |
Alyssa slowly walked up to the middle of the free zone and waited to see who would be brave enough to tag her before she tagged them. "Come on, come and get me. But be fast, because I may get you first. Hey Keefer, are you fast enough to catch me before I catch you?." Alyssa taunted her Quidditch Captain. |
Quote:
His competitive nature had just kicked in. She had wounded his ego and he wouldn't stand for that. He gave chase. Darting in and out of people, his eyes only saw Alyssa. He didn't care if he was tagged himself, he just wanted to get her. He was gaining on her. Possibly because he was so much taller. But her shorter stature gave her an advantage as she could changed direction faster. Keefer's gangly limbs were awkward for that purpose. Nevertheless, he was gaining on her and slowly closing in. Envisioning a giant snitch, he reached out and tagged her. "YES! Gotcha!" You've been converted to a four! What now, Alyssa? |
Ella touched one of the tables at the side of the room gently. She began to drum her fingers, working up the courage to run out into the action. She took a deep breath and took off into the center of the classroom, dodging students right and left, eager to tag someone with her number. |
Actually Alyssa is 5' 6". Is Keefer taller? bahahaha SPOILER!!: Keefer "Aaargh! I was distracted. Not fair. But no worries, if I get into the team, I'm sure that I'll save all my bludgers all for you,"Alyssa winked at Keefer before making her way to the Safe zone area for 4 Okay since my Personal Month is 7, in order to get a Personal day number of 4 I have to find a day. 15th that should get me to 4. 15 +7 = 6+7 =13 1+3=4 She went and touched the safe desk and rested for awhile before she decided to venture out again to the safe zone again to see which non-4 she could tag. This time she would be faster than them. |
Quote:
Ella noticed a boy in the class who was focused on tagging one of the girls in the class. She ran up to him and with a smile, tagged him. "Gotcha! You're a 7 now!" She gave him a wink and ran off. |
Quote:

Quote:
Alyssa then stood in the middle to see who else she could tag, keeping an eye on whoever was near her. |

Text Cut: TakemetotheBurrow Right after tagging Alyssa, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Not even fair. He didn't get to relish his victory! He sighed. Well, to get a Personal Day Number of Seven he could keep his original birthdate, so, "I pick October 27." Text Cut: jujune29th ...and then someone else tagged him. "I'm already a seven now, but well done!" Not that is helped Team Seven at all, but why not give her some satisfaction? |
Amelia hadn't been tagged again, so she headed to a desk in the free zone and touched it. She stayed there for a little while before she ventured out into the the middle of the room. Maybe someone else would tag her, or she's just stand here on her own until she tagged someone herself. |
Quote:
Alyssa walked up to Amelia and stood a few feet in front of her in the free zone. "I bet that I can you before you tag me," Alyssa smiled at Amelia teasingly. |

Quote:
9 + 31 => (0 + 9) + (3 + 1) = (9) + (4) = 13 => (1 + 3) = 4 "October 31!" She said happily now. |
Quote:
"And tag, YOU'RE a seven!" Ah, payback. |
Alyssa stood in the middle of the room. She was within distance of her safe desk in case someone decided to tag her, but for now she decided to wait and see whether she could tag anybody that was a Non-4. |
Quote:
Feeling suddenly reckless, he leaped out and went for Alyssa again. He was two feet from her when she turned and saw him coming. Shoot! No! He lunged to the left and fortunately she went the same direction. "Gotcha! Welcome to Team Seven!" |

Amelia needed to think of another date now, because she had already been a seven once before. She did some more calculations in her head: 9 + 25 => (0 + 9) + (2 + 5) = (9) + (7) = 16 => (1 + 6) = 7 "October 25!" http://i44.tinypic.com/wbw6co.jpg |
