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.

YOU'RE STILL COMING TO EASTER DINNER, AREN'T YOU?

[psiignlanguage]

Yes Sal, I'm taking my car. Do hope you don't mind.

[Aww shit son. Wizards driving cars.]

[nosigntospeakof]

WHY WOULD I MIND?
OH AND BRING AN EXTRA SET OF CLOTHES BECAUSE YOU'RE STAYING THE NIGHT.

[psiignlanguage]

Oh dear.
This isn't going to turn out like the road trip, is it?

[nosigntospeakof]

DID I SAY ANYTHING TO IMPLY THAT?
I JUST MEAN IT WILL BE EASIER TO LEAVE FROM OUR HOUSE ON MONDAY THAN DRIVE TWO HOURS BACK HOME.

[Translation: Maybe after the kids are asleep.]

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

DEFINE BEHAVING,
my dear boy.

[psiignlanguage]

Staying the night with you usually implies that, Sal.

[Private]

[psiignlanguage]

You know precisely what I mean.

[nosigntospeakof]

NOT ALWAYS. WE COULD JUST STAY UP ALL NIGHT GOSSIPING ABOUT THE NEW TEACHERS.

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

i can hardly misbehave properly
IF YOU'RE NOT HERE
can i?
SOUNDS AS THOUGH YOU CAN'T SAY THE SAME.

[Private]

[psiignlanguage]

What the hell are you talking about?

[Private]

[grandhighwizard]

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.

[psiignlanguage]

No.
You know where that will lead.

[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.

[nosigntospeakof]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU MEAN.

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?

I love that icon.

[psiignlanguage]

You know what I mean, Sal, jesus.

[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.

it is legit his face as he writes

[nosigntospeakof]

NO, REALLY.
I AM COMPLETELY UNAWARE AS TO WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING.

[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.

He's such a cute PB too! [Private]

[psiignlanguage]

Murdoc and Rhys.

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?
