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

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

When the students came into class, again being held in the Danger Shop, which was set up to look like a temple amongst some labyrinthine ruins, Ares was playing with a bow and looking far too pleased with himself.

"Afternoon, class," he said. "Today we are going to be talking about two gods who were once very near and dear to me. Their names were, oh, one moment, I have more class appropriate clothing for my TAs," he said, tossing clothing to Krycek and Sam. "Go, put those on."

After waiting for them to get changed, Ares continued. "The two gods I'm talking about today were called Strife and Discord, what they were god and goddess of should be clear from their names, being minor deities, both of them were once in my employ, helping me with the business of being the God of War. Strife," he gestured at Sam. "Apart from being completely incompent at actually doing his job, Strife was everything you could ask for in a lackey, at least until he got killed by that lunatic Callisto."

"Discord." Now Ares pointed at Krycek. "If not as slavishly loyal as Strife, still had her advantages, killer dress sense being one of them, but sadly she also shared Strife's habit of contiually screwing up. For example, this weapon I'm holding here is the Bow of Artemis, and when you get shot with it, it turns you into animal, or if you're an animal it turns you human. Now, Discord got it into her head to shoot my half-brother with the bow, turned him into a pig, and that was a barrel of laughs, unfortunately, she let a couple of pesky mortals get their hands" An arrow magically appearing as he drew the string back, Ares fired the bow at Krycek. "And, well, that happened."

Where Krycek had been standing, there was now a leather clad rooster.

"Now the only way to turn him back into a human is with the bow, and I hope for young Mr Krycek's sake that Miss Carter here is better at her job than Strife was, as I'm not just going to give it to her," Ares said. "You have half the class to help you get the bow, and the other half are going to protect it from you. Good luck."

And with that, Ares vanished into the ruins.

Krycek? So not pleased. And a cranky rooster is nothing to laugh at, unless you have a desperate wish to be scratched.

Kawalsky gave rooster-Krycek a thumbs up. There were jokes, but they were just too easy.

Valentine was too busy hoping that nobody noticed that he was wearing a bedsheet today in the stead of his pants to focus on doing much speaking.

Billy covered his laughing with a fit of coughing.

Faithful poked his head out of Alanna's bag and Alanna stuffed him back in. "No!"

Sam was trying very, very hard not to be thrilled that Krycek was the rooster and not her, but wasn't too successful.

Evie was just staring in disbelief-- because yes, this is her first animal transformation. Be proud, Krycek.

"Good lord in heaven...."

Talk To Ares - TGaY [Class Five]

He's in a good mood today too, wonder why.

Lana came in and went up to Ares a bit nervously. "Excuse me, Sir. I'm Lana Lang and I'm Jim Ellison's roommate. He's quite sick and won't be able to make class today."

Steerpike the Solenodon was running as fast as his little rodent legs could carry him, pointy stick still clenched in his rodent jaws.

And he spotted his target.

REVENGE!

He ran full speed at Ares' ankle, leading with the stick.

As you may have noticed, Ares is still in possession of the magic bow, and since he's set up this particular class for his own amusement, will have little qualms about shooting random members of the class and turning them into cute, fluffy little animals with it.

If you'd like to be turned into an animal, just ping in to the sub thread below and sooner or later you'll get shot.

Three things though.

1) This is just for the duration of the class, everyone is getting changed back at the end of class.

2) Unless they're a telepath, or can speak whatever animal it is you are, no one will be able to understand you.

3) I'll give a good amount of leeway and let you guys pick what animal you guys want to turn into, but think cute, fuzzy, and harmless. No lions, tigers, or bears, unless they're weetiny little cublings.

Steerpike found a pointy stick. Can he find Ares and poke him in the ankle with it?

He can totally get detention for doing so, too. . . .
