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

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

Ares was lounging in his chair, feet up on the desk when the students came in. Once everyone was seated he stood and started lecturing.

"Afternoon, class, firstly I would like to inform you that I am taking detention this weekend, I plan on making it very memorable, and I would be pleased to add any of you to the festivities. Today we are going to talk about a subject very near and dear to my heart," he paused. "Me. Ares, God of War."

"Since I realise there is nowhere near enough time to cover this subject the way it deserves I am going to let you guys direct the flow. I am here to answer any of your questions about me." He sat back down and grinned. "So, ask away."

Ares Q&A - TGaY [Class Two]

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

Ask him anything, anything at all. I'm sure he won't get irritated and start flinging firebolts or detentions around.

Really.

Jack, looking very innocent, asked, "So when did you first realise you were a god?"

Rikku made a humph sort of noise. And couldn't keep herself from asking a question.

"Have the people that you've oppressed ever come after you?"

Isabel might possibly have a bruise on her forehead from headdesking during Jack & Ares conversation.

"What are you most proud of?"

"So you're the Greek god of war. Done any recent stuff?"

"So," Annette began, her hands folded together neatly upon her desk. "What all can you do?"

"So, uh," Anders said, because he was too preoccupied to think of a decent question, "where'd you get the awesome leather?"

Hermione raises her hand and keeps it up through everyone else's questions. "What, in your opinion, are the responsibilities that come along with being a god, and do you feel like you fulfill them?"

Valentine had been dying to know since last week when Ares had implied that he was a special needs student.
"Where do you draw the line between what you consider to be legitimate deities and those that are just scoff-worthy?"

"You weren't *really* wounded by Diomedes during the Trojan War, were you? Because that didn't seem to make sense. And Dr. Covington didn't mention it in her version of the Fall of Troy last semester."

"Is your purview all kinds of war? As in, revolutions that overthrow tyrants and despots? Or just wars of conquest?"

Sam was there before class, working with the flint, tinder, and kindling as instructed to make a fire to brew coffee for Ares, building a large fire in the corner of the room (on top of flame-proofed material she'd put on the floor first). She then dumped twice as much coffee as necessary into the pot, let it boil, poured the mess into a mug, and set it on Ares's desk.

Innocently sipping her coffee from the Perk and toasting a marshmallow in the fire, Sam asked, "So, you, Camulus, Set, Menthu, and Odin. When you get together, is it most like a coffee klatch, poker game, or gay porn?"

Molly couldn't think of any questions that other people hadn't already asked. She wanted to participate though. Finally, she came up with a question.

"What is your favorite color?" she asked.

Rory knew her Greek mythology.

"How are your parents?"

Talk amongst yourselves - TGaY [Class Two]

Chat, pass notes, snark.

Evie had her head in her hands the whole time Jack was questioning Ares. She was starting to think she ought to keep a tally of how many Detentions her earned in this class.

OOC - TGaY [Class Two]

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

Firstly, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE wee!Ares.

Secondly, Ares has numerous fiendish tortures lined up and is quite willing to throw students into detention at the drop of an OOC comment a hat, however, please bear in mind this is AU Weekend and those of you with a decent grasp of Hercules canon should have a good idea of what's going to happen to Ares.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class Two]

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeee!! Icon of Adorableness!!

...and I have zero grasp of Hercules canon, but if Jack's an ass again this week, feel free to detention him. *g*

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES. *LOVES*

I don't have any clue about Hercules canon, but Walter is going to be Brian Slade for the weekend, so putting him in detention amuses me no end.

Perhaps the question of how can Ares possibly be a god when Aziraphale, an angel, is here, proving monotheism?

I'll be in and out during the day. Let me know if that works for you.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class Two]

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Oh dear god I think I do know what's going to happen. I can think of two very amusing possibilities. I'd love to include Billy, but my availability might be woe! limited.

Re: OOC - TGaY [Class Two]

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

I have no idea, but feel free to throw Sam into detention as you see fit. :D
