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.

He picked it up in his jaws and poked his head out of the
bunny-caveden of strange, ugly lovehiding spot, his beady little eyes twitching as he looked about for the stupid God of War who turned him into such a horrible, ugly thing.Revenge!
Re: Retrieve The Bow - Plotting [Bow Stealers]- TGaY [Class Five]
Surely there was something she could do! She wanted revenge too! If she had rabies she could bite him hard enough, she was certain of it. She looked at the creature. He would have rabies before she would, wouldn't he?
Re: Retrieve The Bow - Plotting [Bow Stealers]- TGaY [Class Five]
He didn't have rabies.
He was just ugly.
Looking both ways quickly for any tromping people-feet, Steerpike scurried out in to the labyrinth ruins in search of one leather clad God of War who needed a good pointy-stick-ankle-poking.
Re: Retrieve The Bow - Plotting [Bow Stealers]- TGaY [Class Five]
Realizing that he was leaving again, she hopped after him, telling him to wait up. In her mind, that is. Why couldn't she have been a talking bunny?
Hey, her little nails are kind of sharp. She could do some damage!
Re: Retrieve The Bow - Plotting [Bow Stealers]- TGaY [Class Five]
Odd how he'd never thought about the rats and Gormenghast and how athletic they had to be. . . .
Still. REVENGE!
Re: Retrieve The Bow - Plotting [Bow Stealers]- TGaY [Class Five]
Pretty soon she was abreast of the ugly little rodent, and she was grinning!
Whooowhooo...watch me go faster than youuuuwhoooo!
Re: Retrieve The Bow - Plotting [Bow Stealers]- TGaY [Class Five]
That just wasn't right!
He tried to put on a burst of scurrying speed.
Re: Retrieve The Bow - Plotting [Bow Stealers]- TGaY [Class Five]
Go! I'm going to win!
Of course, this wasn't a race. And Annette had no idea where Ares was because she couldn't see him. She was just a little bunny, dangit.
