Nameplates sounded like an extraordinarily great idea, right now.

Di lowered the second marshmallow she had roasted, and nodded at the students. "The runes discussed in the house challenge, all belong to the Elder Futhark - the most common runic alphabet. These are the runes that a student is bound to come across most often at this level, and the runes that this lesson is about."

"In the Runes classroom in the castle, Miss Flores-Shepard -" she looked at the pesky!intelligent child - "Mentioned how runes are used in jewellery. This is not always for the purpose of ornamentation. Runes can make for beautiful pendants and bracelets, but do you think there can be other reasons that people first began to wear runes?"

OOC: Be creative, if you want to. Don't not answer because you think it isn't the right answer. Remember, out-of-the-box answers are GOOD and appreciated. I'm heading offline for now. The lesson should resume in five to six hours. Have fun. Once again, chatting between characters is okay in small amounts.

"Dakest, ma'am." Sabel offered when questioned about his name. And now they were onto jewelery and other wear and tear uses for Runes. Munching on his s'more, he leaned back a little on his elbows, watching the fire in the center of all the students. Runes were old and probably first used as a sort of primal alphabet, which then translated to magical practices and thus engineered them into ornaments. Witches and wizards would have carried them about in their pockets for safety or quick incantations and divinators would have had them on their persons as well, which gave him a rather wacky idea.

"Perhaps common thieves carried them about in a secure pouch. That way, if they were ever caught in their criminal acts, they could whip out these stones, shake them and toss them and make up some fortune for the persecutor. That way they could not only use the excuse that they are Fortune Tellers that were merely in the vicinity to speak of this great event, but they could also work in how they were removing the object for the sake of the one they were robbing. Say it is cursed or would bring them great misfortune. As people are now, back then they were superstitious and many held great weight in any predictions about personal futures that they were given. Thus, while the reading of the Runes by the thief may not be accurate, it would certainly misguide the mind of the guard, Shopkeep, Lord or King from whom they were stealing away from the act and to the future, where surely if the object was included, they would wish to dispose of it. And ta-da. The thief gets away scotch free."
