Hunting 101 - Class 13 (Wedensday, period 7)

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

There were no handouts or items for demonstration visible in the classroom when the students entered today. John was leaning against his desk, hands in his pockets as everybody filed in.

"Good afternoon," he said when people were settled. "We're going to go off the syllabus today and talk about this past weekend. Now that wasn't so much a hunt as an invasion, but the same basic steps apply. And no that the trolls have been beaten off, it's time to look at what we've learned." John smiled slightly. "So consider this a debriefing."

"Most hunters I know keep a journal of some kind, with information on what they've faced and what they've found to be effective. You now have all faced trolls. What would you consider important to know about them?" He paused and let the class discuss this for a while.

"The other thing you need to consider after this kind of situation, is what did you do right, and what would you do differently if you had to do it again? This isn't to beat yourself up about things you did wrong -- but a chance to learn from experience, to do better in the future. So I'd like everyone to give us one thing they did that they're proud of, and one thing that they'd do differently."

"The females are hot," Alec said with a sage nod. He may have had a lot of medication this morning.

"They don't like metal and they're vulnerable around the eyes," Jim muttered, slouching in his chair with dark circles under his eyes from a lack of sleep.

"That it doesn't do any good to be inside a building if the thing you're fighting is big enough to tear it down," Dawn said, then added, "and that the female of the species is smarter than the male, but not as strong."

"They don't burn very well." Alanna said, slightly disappointed. "Also, they're afraid of cat claws apparently."

"They don't like bells," Peter said. "And some can dance surprisingly well."

"Fireballs aren't effective," Bel muttered, half to himself.

"Even if you didn't kill 'em, the wound areas started turning stony."

"They hit hard and they just keep hitting," John says. "They don't give up easily."

Hermione raises her hand and says, "I didn't get to see them firsthand, but I learned that there are several different species of troll from different regions and realtities." And she proceeds to recite facts that she knows, but her mun is brain dead, so la.

Give one thing you did well during the invasion and one thing you'd do differently if you could.

"I wouldn't have let myself get kidnapped," Sam said simply.

"I did fine," Alec said, completely not speaking of the bandages still tightly wrapped around his middle.

"I got kidnapped real well," Conner said with a mild note of disgust. "Which I also wouldn't do again."

"That I am too nice to strangers," she said with self-disgust. "I wouldn't get kidnapped. What did I well? Nothing. I was unconscious most of the time from getting hit in the head."

"I have an unhealthy attachment to frying pans as weapons," Dawn admitted, "and my fear of guns means I have to improvise and get a lot closer to fight the bad guys."

Re: What have you learned about yourself?

"Um...I killed trolls, so that's a good thing. But I probably shouldn't have spent that much time chopping off arms and just started decapitating and stabbing. Also? I need to listen to school announcments."

"I would have brought a weapon instead of just relying on my powers," Peter said. "Also, I really have to learn how to use weapons better."

"I'd rather take care of someone I love then go out and join in the fight," John says.

"I didn't lose my weapon," Seely replied. "Of course, that's also why I got two broken fingers when it fell on me then turned to stone."
