Rune 02: Uruz

[psiignlanguage]

While I understand that as students you are on holiday for Easter, I would like to take this opportunity to express that you do have a small assignment due the week after we return from break.

This does not mean you can hold off on the assignment until the night you return.

For all students of my classes, prepare for me an analysis, no less than ten inches of parchment, of how you might find and use runes in Easter ceremonies. Where can you see them playing a role, and where do you think their magic might be useful in the ceremony. A piece of advice, look into the pagan celebration of Oustre if you're feeling stuck.

That is your first part of the assignment, due the first day of class after break.

The second part will involve choosing one of those elements of runic magic that you felt would be helpful during Easter, and composing research.

Not an incredibly difficult assignment for my students who have been paying attention.

Enjoy your holiday.

DON'T ACT COY,
it doesn't suit you.
I'M NOT THE ONLY PROFESSOR YOU'RE PLAYING WITH,
am I?
I'M JUST THE ONLY
unmarried one.
;=)

Re: [Private]

[psiignlanguage]

I don't see how that's any of your business.

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

you were the one who asked me
IF I WAS BEHAVING.
but very well,
AS YOU WISH.
and no, my dear boy.
I'M REALLY NOT.

Re: [Private]

[psiignlanguage]

For the record, yes. I do have a sexual relationship with Salvador and Diedre.
It has always been this way.

And dare I ask what on earth you've been doing?

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

that all depends.
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HEAR THE ANSWER?
i admit, i'm a little curious as to why you're asking.

Re: [Private]

[psiignlanguage]

You know, yes. I would like an answer.

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

well, tonight i'm going to take the new flying instructor,
THE ONE THAT WAS A QUIDDITCH PLAYER,
up to my chambers and feed him a ridiculously powerful hallucinogen.
THE SORT OF THING WE USED TO DO IN THE 60S.
that should be quite amusing, watching him running around swinging an imaginary sword at nothing.
HE SEEMS THE TYPE.
tomorrow i'm going home, though.
I CELEBRATE IN THE OLD WAY.
i'd have invited you, but you're obviously quite busy.

Re: [Private]

[psiignlanguage]

What the hell is wrong with you?!!
He might as well be a student!
He's YOUNG.
Are you bloody mad?!

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

not the sort to indulge when you were in school,
ARE YOU?
i quite think he was.
HE'S NOT THAT YOUNG.
or are you worried i'm going to fuck him?

[Private] 1/2

[psiignlanguage]

He might as well still be a damn child in your eyes!

[Private] 2/2

[psiignlanguage]

You know what, yes.
Yes I am worried.

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

[Oh, hmm, that's interesting.]

AND WHY
is that?

[Private]

[psiignlanguage]

I just am.

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

INTERESTING.
but i'm not the one who's been messing about
WITH A MARRIED COUPLE
"always".
CURIOUS
that you're the suspicious one, my lad.

Re: [Private]

[psiignlanguage]

It is a polyamorous relationship.
While they are married, I'm a technical third party.
I am in a way romantically involved with both of them.
But I have the freedom to date people of my own choosing as well.
Sal, Di and I have always loved one another very deeply.
They're just the ones who chose to get married.

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

HOW LOVELY FOR YOU.
very bohemian.
STILL DOESN'T QUITE EXPLAIN
why you're so concerned with what i'm doing, though,
DOES IT?
if you have some people who love you so deeply.
FUNNY THING, THOUGH.
you seemed quite neglected when we first
MET.

Re: [Private]

[psiignlanguage]

I don't necessarily approve of being sexually involved with them, thank you.
As for the term neglected?
I wouldn't use that in regards to my sex life.

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

so
WHY
did you say you were asexual?
I'M QUITE CURIOUS NOW.

[Private]

[psiignlanguage]

Because I hadn't slept with someone in several years.
And I had lost interest.
And the concept of sex bored me.

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

YOU'RE VERY CONTRADICTORY, MY BOY.
it's interesting, i suppose.
HOW PEOPLE TWIST THEIR BRAINS UP IN SUCH CURIOUS WAYS.

[Private]

[psiignlanguage]

Why am I contradictory?

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

HOW SHOULD I KNOW?
maybe you were born that way. It does seem to be a
VERY HUMAN TRAIT.

Re: [Private]

[psiignlanguage]

Then why do you say it as if it's a bad thing then?

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

no, just very
YOUNG.

Re: [Private]

[psiignlanguage]

Your age is showing.
