RP: A proposition or few... Date: 29 January 2021 Characters: Noel Ruthven and Cassie Carmichael Location: the Arithmancy Classroom Status: semi-private Summary: Noel has to keep up his end of the bet, the Pact...without having a nervous breakdown. Completion: Complete
Today was Double Arithmancy. One might think that it gave Noel plenty of time to sort out what he was going to do, but between racking up the nerve to sit next to Cassie (and he was sure she'd given him a strange look as he settled in), and listening to Professor Vector's lecture on the multiplication strength of Charms, he hadn't had any brilliant inspirations.
That was about to end, though, because the second half of class was dedicated to the practical use of Arithmancy, and the professor had given them a rather difficult problem to solve.
Taking a stab in the dark as several other students began to partner up, Noel turned to Cassie. It was now or never.
"Er, hi." He tried out a smile. "Cassie? Um, do you have any brilliant ideas about how to go about solving this work?" He gestured to the problem he'd scrawled out on his parchment.
