fandomhigh | D.A.M.M. - Monday First Period

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."

Jo was totally not snickering at the flailing. Really.

Yup.

[Sure. Night!]

Well, I'd be happy to apologize to her for the way I treated you, too. I wasn't myself, but I hate that any version of me hurt you in any way.

I believe you on that.

Mom isn't so forgiving.

I can't say I blame her. But it would mean a lot if you'd give me a second chance.

I haven't stuck a knife in your leg yet, have I?

Jo gave Chris a small grin with that one, just to make clear it wasn't a threat.

Chris smiled back.

I'm very grateful for that. Maybe we can hang out sometime this week. ~~If your mom and/or the principal don't kill me.~~

Sure. I'd like that.

In public.

Just because she was giving him a second chance there was no reason to be stupid about it.

Definitely. You can pick the place.

I would never hurt you.

Chris considered striking out that last line because it was cheesy, but it was true, so he left it go.

There's always Fast Eddie's?

Besides I still need to teach you how to hustle pool.

Chris smirked at the note.

Sure, that sounds great. Let me know what night works best for you.

How's Friday sound to you?

Somewhere in Fandom, Ellen was no doubt facepalming.

Friday sounds great. Thank you so much for giving me another chance. I promise I'll do whatever I can to make it up to you.

Guess I'll see you on Friday, then.
