Hunting 101 - Class 2 (Wed period 7)

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

When students entered the Danger Shop they found themselves standing outside a large slightly rundown house. John was waiting for them, leaning comfortably against the side of an old impala. Beside him was a table, with the sign in sheet as well as another list of names paired up. It was also piled high with knapsacks.

"Welcome to our first practical class," John greeted them with a smile. "This is where we find out how well you apply what you've learned so far. Behind me is Elrod Manor. It's haunted by the ghost of a woman who was named Cassandra Elrod. She was killed by her husband Mark Elrod, who happened to be a serial killer. The legend goes that she found some rather grisly evidence of his activities and to keep her quiet he killed her and hid her body in the house.

"Since then her ghost has been seen countless times by many different people. They describe a very beautiful but sad woman who has appeared throughout the house but always disappeared at the end of the hallway on the second floor. There's also been an unusual number of accidents resulting in injury or death have occurred here. All of the victims have been married men. Those that have survived the attack describe a woman with features more horrific than beautiful."

He looked around at his students. "You're assignment is to lay her ghost to rest. Each of you will get one of this knapsacks that have everything in them that you should need to accomplish that. You'll work in pairs and each pair will go into the house in turn. As none of you are, to the best of my knowledge, married men, you should be relatively safe unless you antagonise her. My advice?" He smiled slightly. "Don't."

"Please pick up a knapsack and check the list to see who you are paired with and we'll get started."

When the students look inside the knapsacks they will find a flashlight, an EMF meter, an Infrared Thermal Scanner, a container of salt, lighter fluid and matches.

The list of pairings is as follows:

Jo Harvelle, Tannim Drake
M. Parker, Neil Parry
Isabel Evans, Dick Casablancas
Mealka Fray, Buffy Summers
Setsuna Sakurazaki, Liz Sherman
Blair Sandburg, Sokka
Chris Halliwell, Wyatt Halliwell
John Connor, Edward Elric and Luna Lovegood

When everyone had got their equipment and found their assigned partners. John grinned at them wolfishly. "So, who's first?"

While you wait your turn or after you're done.

John read the list.

"I'm with Shorty? Awesome!"

A bright cookie, once she had her list and pack, Luna approached one of the few students who had not yet paired up. "Hello."

Edward blinked at the girl, and offered his hand. "Uh, hi. I'm Edward Elric."

"Hey. What's up? You wouldn't happen to know a short blond dude with a Napoleon complex, would you?"

"Are you trying to pick a fight, Connor?"

Re: Talk amongst yourselves

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Yes. I figure you're the only one good enough for a fight."

Wyatt was not sulking that his roommate ended up with Jo.

Chris had been planning to avoid his brother today after listening to radio last night.

"Hey."

Re: Talk amongst yourselves

[blessed_twice]

"Looks like we're partners, little brother," Wyatt said.

Blair was not surprised that Professor Winchester had forgotten to include any books on ghost therapy in the knapsacks. It was a good thing he had studied up before class.

After most of the rest of the people had paired off, Sokka randomly walked up to one of the people who was left. "Are you my partner?" he asked.

Re: Talk amongst yourselves

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"If you're Sokka, then yes." Blair bounced excitedly. "I'm Blair Sandburg."

Parker grabbed the bag and started checking the batteries on all their supplies while she waited for Neil. She checked her purse and got out her own lighter, too.

Neil searched out Parker, smiling a little wanly as he came over to her.

"Hey there, looks like we're partners for this." Way to start the blooming obvious there, Neil.

Giving his head a shake, Neil moved to the bag to almost make a check of everything in it.

"I saw you working with the EMF last week, you want to run that? I can shake a mean shaker of salt?"

Re: Talk amongst yourselves

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Sure. You ever set fire to anything?" Parker asked mischeviously, flicking on her lighter. "Or have any experience with ghosts?"

Jo started checking all the equipment in her knapsack to make sure it was all in working order.

After Tannim picked up a backpack and checked the list, he walked over to Jo. "Hey," he said. "Looks like we're teaming up."

Re: Talk amongst yourselves

[wannabehunter]

"Hey," Jo replied. "You ever done anything like this before?"

"I should have brought my scythe," Mel grumbled looking at the pack's contents.

Re: Talk amongst yourselves

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Scythe?" Buffy said, looking puzzled. She had, of course, a stake somewhere on her person. "You know, we're supposed to be Slayers, not Grim Reapers."

Setsuna sighed as she shifted through the knapsack's content. "I should have figured there wouldn't be anything in here that'd work," she muttered, although she was eying the flashlight thoughtfully. "Perfectly good excorcism techniques gone to waste..."

She looked around a bit for her partner. "Liz?"

Re: Talk amongst yourselves

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

Liz heard her name being called and walked over to Setsuna, "hi," she said.

Isabel sorted through the contents of the backpack as she waited for Dick.

"I know how excited you must be to have me for a partner." says Dick, grinning. "It's ok. You can say it."
