Care for Magical Creature; Monday, Fourth Period [ 09/07 ].

Coming into the classroom, the students would find Minsc already there. The desks were still moved aside to make room for the much more comfortable pillows on the floor, and they would find their instructor and his hamster at the chalk board, meticulously and carefully finishing out a short list of things. He'd been there since before lunch, and was just finishing up in time for class. Shut up. Writing was hard. The fact that it was even legible spoke volumes for the effort Minsc had put into it.

There was also a large crate in the room, with holes, occasionally moving and emitting sounds, with a collection of protective hand gear and goggles nearby. That should bode well...

"Welcome back!" Minsc turned around to greet his students with a smile, snapping what little remained of the chalk and throwing it over his shoulder. No reason. It was just fun. "I hope you all enjoyed tea with your voles! They make for very interesting conversationalists, don't they? It's no wonder the faeries, except for that special time of the year, enjoy sharing space with them!"

"Today, we are going to be talking about some general facts about faeries and their natures! On the board, as you can see, I have written a list of the most basic and fundamental facts about faeries! This list will tell you more about these creatures than I ever could, so I want you to look them over, write them down if you can, and then think about them all very carefully! Then, I would like you to pick which ones interest you the most. What do you find intriguing? What do you want to know more about? By the end of this class, I expect you to have known and experienced these details in full, but, for now, as we just begin to open the doors to the world of the fae, we shall take these baby steps and get to know our subject first!"

"When we are done discussing the nature of faeries, I would also like to share with you that this Wednesday, September the Ninth, is another grand faery holiday! Badger Scratching Day! Also known as Badger Vexing Day! So when we are finished with the brain stuff, grab some gloves and goggles and we will scratch some badgers! It is an activity that the faeries enjoy quite a lot,"--not so much the badgers-- "although, for the life of me, I actually couldn't tell you why..."



"Well!" said Minsc. "Let's go!"
