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

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.

[ooc: going to bed soon, but will reply to any chicken taunting pings when I get up!]

Isabel's so glad she brought her camera phone with her.

"Click!"

Krycek squawked and glared at Isabel.

"Should I send a copy to Jake?" she asked, laughing.

He flapped his wings, shaking his head vehemently. Ideally, everyone would have their memory wiped after class and Jake would never hear about this at all.

"Oh come on, you look adorable! I'm sure he'd find you just as cute with feathers." To be on the safe side? Isabel sat on the desk and pulled her feet up out of reach.

Krycek looked distinctly ruffled as he glared at Isabel, making an indignant b'kaw at her insinuation.

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

Krycek would've been grateful no one had yet to say anything of the sort, but he had no doubts radio would fill the void. To Kawalsky, he nodded awkwardly.

Just stares.

Krycek stared back, clucking darkly.

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.

Krycek flapped his wings at Billy in warning, giving him a dire look.

Billy raised one eyebrow. Threatened by bigger and scarier poultry.

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

There may have been a flurry of feathers as Krycek leapt around a corner to avoid being seen by the cat again.

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

Krycek grumbled chicken-like and puffed up all his feathers as he glared at Sam.

"Alright, alright," Sam sighed. "I'll go get the troops together to get the bow."

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

"Good lord in heaven...."
