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.

Say WHAT?
Kurumi stopped midstep when Professor Hadley instructed all threes to become eights. But...she had JUST become a three! Couldn't she have told half the sevens to become eights? Oh, wait, sevens were kind of scary because seven ate nine. Hehe. Kurumi laughed in her head at her own wit. Seven eight nine....seven ate nine...hehehe.
Okay, clearly all this running around was getting to her, but she had some thinking to do.
"October 20th," Kurumi mumbled, simply adding five to the previous date she had used to turn herself into a three. She could have subtracted five and gotten the same thing, but, meh, 20 was a nice number.
Then, Kurumi ran over to Minerva and tagged her. One less seven running around that wouldn't be eating nine.
Hehehe.

ooc: don't forget, if you're tagged to find a new day in October which would give you that personal day number. There are multiple days for each personal day number, no matter what you personal month number is.
Easy peasy...almost. Jezzabelle sighed as her number changes again. October 10 would allow for her personal day number to become an 8. So....she was an 8 now.
She moved to the other side of the room. Now...who to tag?

Alyssa decided that she had enough rest and decided venture back out into the middle of the class. Now that there were other numbers out there, she wanted to tag a non-7. Making sure that her safe desk was nearby, Alyssa stood ready to tag, as well as, to run for safety if she had to. It was cool that the Professor had decided to join in the fun.

Minerva laughed when Kurumi tagged her. She began to think.. "1+4=5+3=8 Ok my date is the 14th." Minerva smiled and went off looking for someone to tag.. Where did Sophie go she thought.

Minerva quickly saw who she wanted to tag. "Alyssa tag got you. Your an 8 now." Minerva laughed as she ran off.

After tagging Kurumi, August had reached forward and grabbed ahold of the safe desk and was about to head out back into the tag zone when he turned his attention to Professor Hadley who was making an announcement.
Hmmm...so he was an 8 now? "October 7th would make me an 8!" He said and he was now one of them. The Gryffindor left his safe place and took off to go tag someone.
* 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.
Sierra had just finished calculating her Personal Day Number, when the professor started in on the instructions for a game. Oh, wait. A game?! This just might have the potential to make Arithmancy for her. The instructions seemed easy enough, so when the game began, Sierra hurried to the middle of the floor. She had a number eight. Now. Who to tag?!
And there was Sophie... still in the middle of the room... being a number 7...
She liked this number, but she was stuck with it since... well, since a long time ago. She failed all of her attempts to tag someone else and now she would just wait to be tagged and finally change numbers. She stood still, looking around calmly. "Someone tag me, please!" she thought, not saying it out loud.

Amelia blinked as the Professor changed the game up a little. But since she was now a 7, she couldn't really participate in this part of the game. Instead, she just stood at the side of the playing zone and waited to see if she could spot anyone to tag.

Oooooh! Tag! How fun was that?! Magic school was pretty much the most amazing thing EVER! There were moving giraffe rides, capture the flag, and now TAG!
But first to calculate her numbers. She stuck her tongue out of the side of her mouth and quickly got to work. A few seconds later her head popped up and she smirked. Now it was game time!
And she was a number oneeeeeee!
She popped out of her seat and looked around for someone to tag.
SPOILER!!: Math Stuff. Because I know you all are dying to see it. XD
Personal Year Number = Month of Birth + Day of Birth + Current Calendar Year
(1+1) + (1+1) + (2+0+7+6) => 2 + 2 + (1+5) = 10
Personal Year Number = 1
Personal Month Number = Personal Year Number + Reduced Calendar Month
1 + (1+0) = 2
Personal Month Number = 2
Personal Day Number = Personal Month + Reduced Calendar Day
2 + (1+7) = 10
Personal Day Number = 1

And then she found someone! "Taggggg." she said tapping the girl. "You're a one now." she said before giggling and fleeing in a different direction.

Sophie turned her head quickly and saw when a young Gryffindor girl tagged her. "FINALLY!" she thought, opening a big smile. Shen started running towards a desk to calculate without being tagged again, but stopped before actually doing so. She has started as a number one! So the day now would be the 17th, obviously! Still, Sophie liked math, so onto the calculusss!!

She looked around to see if she could tag anyone now. "Less number sevens noow!" she thought, starting to run towards the same girl she had tagged before. She reached out her hand and touched the girl's arm. "Tag again, ma'am! You're a number 1 now!" she smiled and skipped away.

Alyssa was looking in front for students to tag that she didn't even see Minnie sneak up behind and tag her. 'Okay an 8' Alyssa thought to herself. A
My Personal Month Day is 7, so if I pick the 10th.
10+7
1+0=1+7
=8
Alyssa slowly made her way to the safe desk but not before bending down to tie her shoe lace.

Kurumi spun around when she heard the infectious giggle of someone who could only be a certainly little lion. Kurumi had heard great things about her from Selina when it came to tryouts and it looked as though the little Carter was just as quick on her feet as she was on a broom.
So THAT is why she was able to get up on that giraffe before anyone knew what was going on..
Kurumi ran up to the little lion and planted both hands on her shoulders. "Tag! Welcome to the world of 8's!"

Kennedy saw a swirl of different color robes moving across the room. His head was already spinning, not because of his classmates, but because of the numbers and calculations he would have to be doing. He already proved that Arithmancy wasn't his top subject, but he DID want good marks.
SIGH.
Seriously, what he does for good grades. Well, here goes nothing.

Glenn saw Sophie, she wasn't a seven so she went ahead and tug her, "Tag!" She yelled, giggling, "You're a seven now, sevens will rise again!" Glenn went off to another side of the room, still not having been tug once.

Kennedy recognized the young Hufflepuff from somewhere and since no one had tagged him, he walked to her and softly patter her shoulder. "Tag," said.

Hades quietly sneaked around and even tip-toed at times. Whenever someone was within five feet from him, he'd lightly placed his finger on the desks. Blue eyes looked around the room for people without the purpleness. Then, he saw his own house prefect whom he fought alongside during Charms lesson. "Tagggg~" whispered Hades as he poked the other boy's waist.

This was how it was played right?
Ira was lurking in the sidelines ans searching for her potential target to tag when she found a boy in the middle tagging another. And he was a number 4! So yes, she could tag him.
So she softly went towards him from behind his back and patted him on the shoulder. "You're tagged number 7!" she said to him

Skip skip skip. Time to return the favor! Kurumi rushed over to Ira and tagged the center of her back. "No more 7 for you!"
Kurumi ran off, running in a zigzag pattern to make it harder to tag her.

Ira was just reveling in her success in tagging, when it seemed as if from nowhere Kurumi came and tagged her! So, now she was a number 8.
Psst! Now she had to do some maths. Okay so her personal month number was 7 and so she needed just 1 to make it 8. So 10 would equal 1. And then 7+1 would equal 8. So her date would be 10th October!
Kennedy recognized the young Hufflepuff from somewhere and since no one had tagged him, he walked to her and softly patter her shoulder. "Tag," said.
This was how it was played right?
So, she was tug. She calculated quickly in her head, "14th of October," She murmured to herself, (1+4)+8=13 1+3=4. Glenn had seen this boy around school, if she remembered right, he was a prefect. Yes, Glenn eyes darted to his badge, he was a prefect, Slytherin prefect.
She skipped away and waited for an opportunity to tag someone a number four.

"Hey Glenn!" Ira said to her as she went and went towards her. "You are tagged number 8!"

And 1 plus 3 ain't six.." Beatrice said.
His calculations were wrong?
Gideon tried to think it over as he listened to the younger girl explain why she was correcting him. The boy shaking his head when he registered she too was off. "Nah...my original personal day was 7...my personal month, the number ye use for the calculations is 8. so 6 +8 is..." He was about to say the correct answer of 14 but the Gryffindor stopped when he realized she was right about him being wrong just for the wrong reason.
"It should be October 7th....so 7+8 is 15 which when reduced is 6" he said with a satisfied nod that it was correct this time around. "Thanks for pointing out I might have been mistaken," Gideon said to the girl, giving her credit for catching it where credit was due. Even if it had been just a little off.

And then she again saw the older boy wondering about the calculations. She went over and tagged him.. "Number one now, fellow-lion!" she said to him, "Redo you calculations!"
Not that it mattered that he was now correct for being a six. Gideon was now a one thanks to the next girl to tag him. The 5th year working it out in his head and wishing he had grabbed a parchment and quill instead, he finally cam up with what he thought was right. "October 2nd," he said seeing as he couldn't think of anything besides 2 that gave him a number that reduced to 1.
Hmm...maybe I should take a break, he mused eyeing a desk nearby and discretly making his way over.

Ira saw a boy out of the corner of her eye, the boy she had tagged earlier, making his way to the side desks for protection discreetly. ho o! Ira wouldn't give him rest or rather she wasn't in a mood to let him go lightly!
So, she went over quietly and poked him in the small of his back lightly and said, "Tag! You're number 8!"
