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

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

When the students came in Ares was sitting at the front of the room throwing energy bolts at a number of scurrying action figures, whenever one connected he would start giggling in a most ungod-like manner.

When he finally noticed his class, Ares stood up. "Firstly, I would just like to say that anyone who wants detention for the rest of the semester just has to mention last weekend, white leather, or the L-word."

"Now that we've got that out of the way, Today we are going to be talking about Zeus and Hera, the King and Queen of the Gods, and my parents, so no disrespect from you brats."

Aphrodite	If the class had been paying any attention to Ares, they would have noticed a blonde woman appear in a brilliant flash of pink light and glitter behind him.
Ares	Ares stopped mid-sentence. "Oh, no."
Aphrodite	Which would be when the blonde tackled Ares with a hug. "Ar!" she squealed happily.
Ares	"Aphrodite," Ares replied flatly, returning the hug awkwardly. "What are you doing here?"
Aphrodite	"Visiting you silly," Aphrodite replied.
Ares	"Why right now?" Ares asked. "Can't you see I'm in the middle of class?"
Aphrodite	"I can see that," Aphrodite said and waved to the class. "Hey little dudes and babes." "That's why I'm here, I hear you were teaching a class about the fam and thought I could give my bro a hand."
Ares	"And how exactly do you propose to do that?" Ares hissed. "They're vicious little vipers who won't listen to the Goddess of Love."
Aphrodite	"You willing to bet on that?"
Ares	"Sure," Ares threw his hands in the air. "Why not?" "Kids," he pointed to the class. "This is my sister, Aphrodite, Goddess of *mumble*. Play nice with her."
Aphrodite	"Okay, little groovers," Aphrodite, addressed the class. "I'm Aphrodite, Goddess of Love. Now I know what you guys are thinking, how does she get her hair like that? The answer, my friends, is well, Goddess." "Now some of you dudes have the look of being weetiny warrior dudes and babe, and that's cool, but I know that there's often a perception among the sword and leather types of Love being weak," she said. "And I'm afraid that that can't be further from the truth." "Don't believe me?" she said. "Well, you've obviously never seen the results of unconstrained uncontrolled, overwhelming love, or lust as the case may be, why I remember the time someone-who-shall-remain-nameless got hold of my baby boy Cupid's arrows..." Aphrodite stopped as a wee glittery lightbulb went off over her head. "Dudes, I have has the most bodacious idea, instead of me telling you about this kind of thing, we're going to demonstrate." She turned to Ares. "Bro, you got a class list?"
Ares	From over at his desk where he'd started drinking heavily when the lightbulb went off, Ares gestured and the roster appeared in glowing letters.
Aphrodite	Aphrodite clicked her fingers a second list of names appeared next to the first. "Okay, student dudes, you see the name after yours?" Aphrodite asked. "For the rest of the class, you are madly, deeply in love and-slash-or lust with that person, and you want nothing more than to be with that person, not dirty. Okay, you're not really, but I want you all to act like you are to the best of your abilities." "Got that? Rock on."

Valentine stared at the list long and hard from under his desk, and then he looked around the room very carefully.
Partly because he was trying to place a face to the name of the person he was supposed to lust over, and partly because he feared for his life, having not one, but three people who were assigned to lust over him.

Isabel waved weakly. She was still trying to deal with the fact that Anders was going to be pursuing her.

Cameron checked his list again to make sure he hadn't misread. "I don't suppose I can pretend you're a girl?"

Alanna sat down next to Valentine.

Walter looked at the list. Okay. He had the guy who wore a mask and juggled.

Right.

"Valentine. I thought you and I were going to juggle together?" Share interests, right?

Isabel sighed deeply and waited to be wooed...including by the friend she almost slept with over the weekend.

Anders didn't feel anything remotely close to suave or madly amorous. He was, for lack of a more dignified word, flailing like a flailing thing.

"So I guess I'm supposed to be hitting on you now?"

Re: Pursue Your Love! - TGaY [Class Three]

Anders kind of wished Bel was in this class sighed and resigned himself to being pursued.

Luckily he'd managed to lock the action figures up in the closet today.

Annette? Felt totally lost here.

She approached Anders slowly, smiling a bit nervously. "Hey."

Evie took a break from pursuing and being pursued to walk over to Anders, blushing. "Um. I think I have to apologize for this weekend.... Please don't think I'm ever usually that forward and I'm *so* sorry if I said anything that could be construed as 'leading you on.'"

Annette waited patiently for Billy to pursue her.

After mentally facepalming, Billy sent a smile over to Annette.

Hermione might be wondering it if would be difficult to just slink off into a corner where no one could find her...

It was a good thing Cam was on his cold meds or there would have been a whole lot of flailing going on. As it was, he looked pretty resigned to being 'pursued' as long as it meant that he could go to sleep afterwards.

After nearly freaking out for about five minutes over this activity Liz finally decided that she should at least attempt it, "um...hi" she said awkwardly as she went over to Cam.

"Be still my fluttering heart," Rory greeted him.

Evie looked around for Charlie Kawalsky. Then she got up on her desk chair to make sure she hadn't missed him.

This may later prove to be a mistake.

Steerpike's eyebrow went up at the assignment, but, well, he'd certainly done worse and he didn't want to lose the favor of a couple of gods, so he started looking around for this Alex Krycek person.

And looking out for this Isabel Evans person.

Re: Pursue Your Love! - TGaY [Class Three]

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

The Isabel Evans person waved and smiled.

Krycek rolled his eyes at the assignment, but at least Jake couldn't get mad - not after the party he'd gone to half-naked and sketching up everything in sight anyway.

Re: Pursue Your Love! - TGaY [Class Three]

[sneerkite]

Steerpike offered Krycek a bow and a winning smile. "Alex Krycek, correct?"

Janet looked around warily for Carmela. "I suppose it might be a good thing we don't know each other?"

Re: Pursue Your Love! - TGaY [Class Three]

Carmela sits and patiently waits for Sam to start with the pursuing.

Sam was facepalming, but there and waiting to be adored.
