fandomhigh | Storytelling, Fifth Period, 5/14

Tim waited for the kids at the main campfire. There was apple cider, and snacks waiting as well. "Hey guys I'm Tim..." He paused for a moment to supress a bit of shock at one of his students. "Desmond. Uh, hi. So! Storytelling. Is what we're here to do. Today we'll start simply. Introductions. It's kind of a short story in and of itself. I want you all to tell your name, year, and something unique about yourself, or your world.

"I'm Tim Desmond...like I already told you. Right. Anyway I was a rising senior when I was here three years ago. And in my world I am known in some circles as the Grand and Puissant Champion of the Fae. Please save your laughter for the end. Also, in my world, people who don't, or can't believe in the supernatural, simply doesn't see it. If someone were to see, say a Dragon, their brains would go 'Oh holy shit a Dragon. Wait that's silly, there's no such things as dragons, so clearly, that's not a dragon. And in their eyes the Dragon would either cease to be there, or become something like a large, unfriendly dog."

He took a breath. "So. Each week, I want at least one of you, to tell a story. Next week we're going to expand on today's theme, and tell a story from your life."

[~~Wait for~~ OCD is up.]

Name, Year, and an unusual fact about yourself or your world.

Okay, this class might end up being more difficult than Claire had anticipated.

She smiled brightly and took her turn. "My name is Claire Butler, I'm beginning my junior year and there are people in my world who have special abilities. Or so I've heard."

That had a pretty broad definition. For all he knew on her world the ability to hop on one foot could be considered a special ability.

"Welcome to Fandom Clair. I'm sure you'll have an exciting summer."

Claire smiled. "Oh, I'm sure I will."

Gwynn managed to overcome her shock for a few moments to introduce herself. "I am Gwynn Hood, and I will be a senior. I am from the year 1199... and the Sheriff of Nottingham needs a better wardrobe."

Tim snickered, remembering watching Robin Hood movies with her once.

"He still doesn't wear tights," Gwynn said firmly, having remembered the movie about her father and his friends where they were wearing tights.

"Thank God."

"I'm Shilo Wallace, I'm a junior, and..." She didn't want to depress everyone. "In the future organ transplants are a lot easier than they are now."

That was unusual, wasn't it?

Unusual enough. "Thanks for joining my class Shilo."

"I'm Liz Sherman and I'm going to be a senior," she said, "and I'm a pyrokinetic," to demonstrate she held out her hand and clear blue flames appeared, she held them for a few seconds and then she let them disappear.

Claire stared at her.

Liz wasn't entirely sure what to make of the staring but she offered a smile in Claire's direction.

Well now that was impressive. "Wow. Pretty cool. No irony intended."

"Jack Burton, and I'm a junior. Or a senior. I'm not sure, since this is summer and there was just the Graduation, so...I'm whatever that is. And..." He thought for a moment. "And I just got a haircut."

Please ignore the mullety icons for a month or so ~~until it grows back~~.

"Congratualations."
