*strides in wearing a rather dingy robe, looking a little scorched around the edges*

The feast is small but nourishing tonight class.
We are discussing Creation - myths and mysteries.

Please, tell me what you all think, and we will go from there

Rogue walks in before class. "Professor, are you alright? Can I get you somethin' to drink?" She frowns with concern.

I have ale, somewhere...*shakes head* Just water will be fine, dear...

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

Rogue brings him a glass of water. "Here you go, sir. I hope you feel better soon."

"Sir... Are you all right?" Lana looks concerned at Gandalf's appearance.

[gandalfglamdrin.livejournal.com]

Yes Lana, Im fine, thank you for your concern...
If an Elf ever asks you to come with them, for any reason.. just turn them down.

"An elf, Sir?" Lana starts to ask more, then remembers where she's attending high school and decides maybe she doesn't really want to know.

Anakin sat down next to him roommate, looking with concern at Professor Gandalf.

[gandalfglamdrin.livejournal.com]

Anakin, do you have anything to add to our discussion?

Michael smiles at his roommate.

Can't know what happened, why we're here, why everything is here. The stories just explain it away. Helps to make it easier, thinking that there's a reason for everything, a reason for us to be here. Don't believe it.

*smiles* Give me something specific that you dont beleive in please?

Marty is in a good mood tonight. He talks at length regarding the Japanese Creation myth (http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~wldciv/world_civ_reader/world_civ_reader_1/kojiki.html) that he learned about during a mission to Japan.

Before class ends he presents Gandalf with a gift (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/oatmanspatient/whiskey.gif) with the following note.

Recently came to terms with some bad things in my past. Your class has helped me through it. The drink may not be from this world, but it's pretty good stuff. Enjoy it.

He also turns in an excellent paper on Buddhism.

Alanna toasted Marty with her coffee. "Congratulations!"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna enters the room, spaghetti and coffee in tow. "In my world, we believe that Myrthos and the Great Mother Goddess created everything. The rest of the Gods and Goddesses also had a role though, and they govern the area of which they are master or mistress." Alanna toys with the cord around her neck. "Sir, I'm a healer, do you need any assistance?"

[gandalfglamdrin.livejournal.com]

Im quite sure that I will survive, Alanna, but thank you for the offer...

Which of those Gods and Goddesses do you most closely identify with?

[OOC: Just sneaking on so I don't miss IC class. x_x I got grounded for being sick IRL, so. *eyes her grandfather* I'll post something when I can actually think up something intelligent for Hotaru to say. x_o]

[brandnew-world.livejournal.com]

Hotaru blinks, looking somewhat thoughtful. She murmured thoughtfully about Shinto creation myths, and how they didn't quite match with...

Hotaru stopped talking for a minute, looking around, then shrugged.

"Shinto creation myths and the story of the Silver Millenium don't add up," she muttered. "But there isn't exactly any sailor senshi creation story...." Hotaru looked somewhat bothered at the thought.

Evelyn is concerned with Gandalf's appearance, but upon hearing everyone else ask him, she doesn't want to smother him. Instead, she starts talking about the Egyptian Creation Myth.

Oz slipped in late to class, took a seat in the back (after signing in), and tried to be invisible.


[OOC: Mun apologises, I'm getting my act together I promise. Oz will be more active in the next class post...]
