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.

OOC - TGaY [Class Five]
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.

Also, I'd love to have Steerpike get transformed.
Re: OOC - I Wanna Be An Animal! - TGaY [Class Five]
Sure!
Re: OOC - I Wanna Be An Animal! - TGaY [Class Five]
Or I can go with Steerpike has no idea the animal he's turned into is venomous, and is thus harmless? I reeeeeeally want to turn him into one of those.
