Tremble Foolish Mortals: The Gods and You , Class One [Period 5, Thursday]

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

The students were greeted with an empty classroom as they filed in.

Once everyone was seated, Ares appeared in a flash of blue light. "Greetings," he said. "I am Ares, God of War, and before you all start with the questions and flailing and prostrating yourself before me in worship, yes I am the Ares, and I am a real god. I'll be happy to give a demonstration to anyone who doesn't believe me." His tone suggested that while he might be happy to give a demonstrate, the person he gave it to wouldn't be.

"Now, to class. I'm assuming you all signed up because you want to learn more about the gods," Ares said, leaning against his desk. "Believe me you will. Forget the drunken ramblings of half-mad priests and madder politician, from me you'll be hearing firsthand accounts of the gods, in all their glorious and less than glorious moments. As you can see from the syllabus, we will be focusing on the Greek pantheon, otherwise known as the Olympians. Because, hey, you can't escape family."

"Because this is the first class, and I realise you may all be somewhat awed by being taught by me, a real live god, I'm going to go easy on you all, trust me, it won't happen again. Today you're just going to introduce yourself, tell the class which gods and goddesses you worship and why."

He waved a dismissive hand at the class. "Well, what are you waiting for, go on."

Ares finds that a little stroking never hurt anyone.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[sneerkite]

And quite proud of it, too.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

God. Anyone who sees you eat will know you're not me.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[sneerkite]

Hmm. That's true. I'll have to be careful of that. . . .

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

...

Sure. I get the evil double.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[sneerkite]

Mmmhmm. And you love it when I do bad things.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

It must be because you look so good when you're doing them.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[sneerkite]

I do, don't I. We are just such handsome young men. We look good doing anything.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

But you'll never have my moves.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[sneerkite]

I don't need your moves. They lack subtlety.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

No, they lack overt manipulativeness.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[sneerkite]

. . . and subtlety.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

You're repeaaaating yourself.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[sneerkite]

Well, you didn't seem to comprehend it the first time. I was only trying to make up for your obvious lack in the intelligence department.

Clearly, what the world needs is for you two to have hot, nasty sex, and videotape it for public distribution.

For great justice. It is your duty. Don't you believe in truth and freedom and ... whatever else?!

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

That is so not happening no matter how hot he is.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Oooo. You said obsequious.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[sneerkite]

Other than "Machiavellian", there is no better word to describe Steerpike.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

BIG WORDS YAY.

(What? It's late!)

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class One]

[sneerkite]

You want big words?

Read my canon. Srsly. The man is so amazingly verbose.
