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."

"Oh, that's for sure," said Janet, snickering. "So what are your plans for this semester, anyway?"

"Nothing too outrageous. First off, to try not to get smited here in class," she laughed. "Beyond that? Mostly to just spend time with my friends before they graduate."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm going to miss everyone, but--" Janet shrugged. "I think I could use a bit of break from Fandom, you know? Hopefully we'll be able to stay on the island this summer, though."

"That's funny, it's about how I feel about Roswell," Isabel said with a wry smile. "Maybe you can get away for Spring Break? I hope there's another summer session as well. I had such a great time last year."

"Oh, I don't plan on going back to Colorado Springs for college," said Janet. "That place is far too boring. I think I just want a different kind of craziness, but not until after the summer session."

"Well I've got another year of the insanity here before I have to start thinking about college. It's just going to be weird when so many people are gone."

"It'll be weird being gone. I've gotten used to this place." Janet leaned back in her seat and sighed. "Thank goodness for the internet. At least we can all keep in touch that way."
