quill Ancient Runes 1: Put Your Best Foot Forward


credit to Govoni for the template


First thing in the morning the day after the feast you find yourself visiting the Ancient Runes classroom for the very first class of the term, a seminar of sorts where students of all ages have the opportunity to learn together. Perhaps you’ve had the chance to speak with Professor Beryl already, but this is yours (and everyone’s!) first time in her classroom. What should you expect? Well, perhaps not the stool at the front of the classroom, reminiscent of the sorting hat that many encountered at the feast except with an ancient and worn-looking old cowboy boot upon its surface instead of a hat. The boot is complete with a spur. It's made from supple leather and looks like it might want to fall apart at any minute - the front of the boot is even coming up from the sole, looking oddly mouth-like, but it's clean and (despite appearances) doesn’t stink at all.

Professor Beryl stands near the blackboard and greets every student with a smile and a warm welcome. She tells you to take your turn and step up to be sorted by the boot. Sorted how? Well, simply take your own shoe off, put the boot on (it is charmed to resize itself to fit each student), hop around a few times, and it will speak out of its sole and tell you what your MBTI type is! That’s right, before class begins each and every student is expected to be sorted by their temperament.

Once you take your turn, Professor Beryl bids you to take a seat at your desk where you are expected to take out your rune sets, parchment, your rune journal, and a quill.

The blackboard behind Professor Beryl also includes instructions:

Quote:
Greetings and welcome to Ancient Runes!

Once you have taken your turn and had your MBTI type revealed to you by the temperament sorting boot, please take a seat and write your MBTI type at the top of your parchment in large font so that others can see it easily.
ooc: welcome to the first Ancient Runes lesson of the term! Please note this IS your first class with Professor Beryl and she’s looking forward to getting to know your kiddos! You have approximately one day to post arriving before the lesson will continue, however if you miss the arrival you can still include your character trying the boot and getting their results as if they were here all along.

In order to get your MBTI results, I suggest this online quiz or this one but you are welcome to use any online MBTI quiz that you prefer, or if you already know your character’s MBTI simply use that! You can RP the boot sorting your character yourself - it will tell the student their MBTI type out loud (speaking from it's broken sole ) have fun with it! Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have. edit: A/T type is optional to include

edit: the lesson is now underway, but you can still include the boot stuff in your post if you join in after this point. Check the index below for where we are at!

Class Progression Index:
1) Arrival: try on the boot and get sorted by your MBTI type (this post)
Response to arrivals, informing Eleanor Smethwyck and Maxie Anderson-Belfort that they need to go get their correct shoes!
2) Mini activity: pick 3-5 keywords associated with your MBTI type, then one or two runes associated with each of those keywords
Professor Beryl walking around, helping students (if you've posted already you're definitely addressed in this post!)
Professor Beryl still helping students and discussing their choices (again, everyone who has posted at this point has been quoted!)
3) Question 1: Name some Rune Correspondence/Runic Correlations systems
4) Question 2: what benefits and what difficulties do you think there are when comparing rune meanings to the meanings found in other systems?

5) Main activity: Class working together to come up with a masterlist of rune/MBTI correlations
