Arithmancy One: Daily Vibes & More About Personal Year, Month, Day Numbers
After what seemed like months had passed, Josephina was finally ready to hold her first lesson of the term. Of course the leaves were only just starting to change color, so it wasn't as if term was truly that far in, but even so. It wasn't her fault that she had several issues interrupting her train of thought. Pulling her thick brown hair back into a fast ponytail, she went to stand by the door with a parchment and quill, as she waited for the students to come.
The desks were arranged in a typical classroom fashion today - neat rows, with chairs that were definitely far more comfortable than they appeared.
Have a seat, the lesson will begin shortly.
ooc: Make yourselves comfortable. We'll officially start in a few hours. Keep the chit-chat to a minimum. Acquaint yourself with the rules, if you haven't done so already. Class started. You're encouraged to participate if you didn't post coming in, but please PRETEND as though you've been here the whole time.

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.
Zhenya went to tag the girl in the middle, Sophie, but she realised she was the same as her, so she just smiled and waited.

Ira saw Zhenya and Sophie standing together in the center. So whi should see tag? Since no one else was tagging Ira, she figured it was better for Ira to tag others!
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!"

Alyssa quickly ran up to all three girls before they could get back to their safe zone. "Tag you, Ira, Zhenya and Sophie." she smiled back at them.

Merlins! That was quick indeed! Number 7 now. So again, Ira started her calculations. 7 was her personal month number. So she din't need to have to added anything. But of course, 0 couldn't be a date. so add something which when added to 7 still totals to 7!
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!

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.
Alyssa saw Kurumi hanging out near the middle of the floor. She quickly ran towards her to tag her "TAG"

Huh? Wut?? Sophie wanted to be tagged, but not like thaat! She ran to a desk and held it again like it was trying to run away.
"Well, I was 1 before, so the day would be the 17th." she thought. "Now... the 5th. Or... 14th! Or eveeen... 23th!"
Beezus just couldn't help but hear the older Gryffindor student. Did he just say October 6th? Waiiiiit. He was previously number 7 right? And if six would be added to 7.. That would be 13..And if you reduce it..4..It didn't make sense at all. "Uhmm..I think October 6th would be wrong. Because your former number was seven and if you add the two, you'll have thirteen. And 1 plus 3 ain't six.." Beatrice said.
Now a number 7, Ira looked around for someone to tag.. And found Beezus. She crept up behind her and "Tag!" she shouted, "Be a number 7 now!" Thios game was becoming a lot more enjoyable than she thought it to be!
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.

Ira sure was enjoying it.. But Beezus was growing tired. "Hmmmm.. 7 eh?" She quickly thought of a date. "October 1. six plus 1 is 7." She said. Pretty simple, right? Now..where was Kurumi?
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!
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 prey anyone who wasn't already a seven. "I haven't even been tug once the whole time I've been out in the middle!" She exclaimed.

"Oh! So you've not been tagged yet?" Ira asked the girl. "I've already been tagged.. I don't know.. around 4-5 times maybe!"
"By the way, I'm Ira" she said, extending her hand towards the girl.
ooc: Heading off to bed now. But feel free to tag me :D

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.
Alyssa smiled at the girl that had joined her in the middle. "Hi there, my name is Alyssa. I heard you say you were Glenn. Nice to meet you. I'm sorry I would tag you, but I have the same Personal Number as you. Unfortunately, the 7's outnumber every other number right now. But hopefully someone that's a non-7 will decided to join in and play the game."

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.

Well, that certainly didn't take very long to happen. Kurumi glanced over her shoulder, her long black hair flipping a bit as she did to see Alyssa's hand there. "You got me," she laughed. Not that Kurumi had really been doing any running to begin with since this game started. She had done more than enough of that during Charms.
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.

And within the month, are your personal day numbers, which are significant, in particular when the number is the same as your soul urge or life path." Which is why they calculated those numbers in the beginning.
"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
"So as you all seem to have figured out how to calculate your Personal Year, Month and Day numbers... we'll just go over a bit of a review before we move onto a small activity of sorts." She paused, flipping through her notes for a moment before turning back to the class. "Right then, so the personal year number is definitely, aside from the core numbers, one of the most significant numbers in your life, considering its themes and meanings change yearly and it dictates where you should focus your energies each year."
"Can someone please describe for me how to find the personal year number? And then someone else tell me how to find your personal month number? And finally, someone else describe about calculating your personal day number?"
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

The only things you need to keep in mind for this game are your personal year and month number, as you may need them to calculate a new personal day number."
The Activity
* You will all START the game assigned to whatever number is your personal day number for the 17th of October, 2076.
* Touching one of the desks on the side of the room is considered a "safe or neutral zone". But if you're just hanging out in the middle, then you're free zone to be tagged by someone with a different number from you.
* If you DO get tagged by a different number, then before you can "become that number", you have to find a day in October 2076 that would give you that number as a Personal Day Number.
The Rules:
* Don't God-Mod. If someone tags you, don't pretend like you were touching the desk.
* On the same token, don't be a desk hog either. You have to be out in the open. I'm trusting you guys to be fair to yourselves and to your classmates. And to have FUN with this.
* You have two choices for how to be identified by your Personal Day number. First of all, you can wear it as your avatar. OR you can include it at the bottom of the post. If you don't do either, then I'll assume you're not playing and you won't get participation credit for this activity.
Most importantly, have fun. And of course, if you have questions about the game, you're welcome to PM me them.
The game will most likely run until sometime on Sunday, January 22nd. But it all depends on YOU guys and your participation. I may cut it shorter or extend it.
"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.

"Hello there!" Tayla said cheerfully as she quickly tagged the Hufflepuff. "I'm Tayla. What's your name? Oh and now you're a three!"
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.

It was a mystery why he never boasted about his aptitude in calculations. Hades stayed put with eyes closed and hands in pockets as he made a mental calculation. Within fifteen seconds, he opened his eyes.
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 who weren't Hufflepuff. He spotted a Gryffindor and thus sneaked behind her and poked her back. "Tag," he whispered creepily into the unidetified girl's ear. Creepy Snake is creepy.

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.
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.
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.
Ira spotted a girl with number 8 move to the centre of the classroom. So, choosing her as a target, Ira went ahead and tagged her! "Hi! You've been tagged! as number 7!" she said to the girl

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.

Amelia was amazed by how fast she had been tagged, but she thought that this wouldn't be too hard to figure out really since she only had to figure a Personal Month Day one off from the one she had.
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.

Amelia saw a boy who looked like he really wanted to play. He was in the middle of the circle now, so he was up for grabs. She tagged him now.
