Byron actually walks into the classroom today and lets the students settle down.

"Greetings students! I trust you all had an... eventful weekend. Today we will discuss the sacred Riddle Game. No doubt most of you have heard or read about the Greek sphinx, who asks a riddle of all who pass by. Eating the ones who are unable to answer her riddle and throwing herself off her perch when a correct answer is given. Likewise the sanctity of the Riddle game is touched upon in more recent popular fiction such as with the character 'Gag' in There And Back Again and 'Mona the Monorail' in the Dim Highrise series. More traditional stories, such as Rumplestiltskin, hint to us that creatures which seem to be the embodiment of chaos are actually bound by a few, very ridged, laws. Esoteric though they may be to our minds."

Optional reading about riddles is passed out.

"In each case, the protagonist and the antagonist engage in a Riddle Game and the fact that the game is still ongoing keeps the antagonist from attacking. Since they don't dare violate the sanctity of the Riddle Game. This can be instrumental in defeating a malevolent creature, or at least buy you some time.

But it helps to be good at riddles.

So today, I would like you to pair up and have a riddle game of your own. We're going to have a little tournament. Winners of the first round will report to me and I will pair you off for the second round, and so on, the last student will face me."

Chris was shooting the WTF happened? glances right back. And wondering if there was any possible way to ever make this up to Jo.

Wyatt tossed a note over to his brother's desk.

You okay?

Well, Summer forgave me for being a complete dick.

Chris tossed the note back and glanced in Jo's direction.

Wyatt glanced at Jo and felt the intense desire to bang his head on his desk.

What the hell happened to us? I guess everyone was weird from what they were saying on the radio, he wrote back to Chris.

No idea, dude. You were glad I was evil though. And I said I had traveled back in time to stop you from being good. And we were AWFUL to Jo.

Chris felt a headache coming on.

I thought I ruled the world and had demons working for me. And that you were trying to stop me. That's totally insane.

~~Maybe Jo thought we were kidding?~~

Okay, he crossed that last part out, because that was entirely too stupid to hope for.

Chris raised his eyebrow when he made out the scratched through part.

It wasn't just us, at least. No idea what happened, but lots of people weren't exactly themselves.

You were a freaking darklighter, dude!

And you thought you were the leader of the world!

Maybe everyone was just opposite of themselves somehow? Like a mirror universe?

Maybe. Hey, do you think this means that we have the powers our other selves had?

Dude, that would rock.

We should try it out sometime this week.

See if we can make that orbing thing work?

Don't even think of TKing me into a wall again.

The orbing thing was pretty cool.

And I won't TK you into a wall if you don't try to choke me with TK.

Deal.

Sorry.

Chris glanced over and smiled.

Me too.
