Language Classes, Tuesday, Oct. 18

Dream looks almost tired today. He is gripping a large mug of coffee and taking occasional small sips. He still doesn't have much use for mortal food, but he can see why all of the other teachers love this stuff so.

Hello.

Languages of Europe students: While I am impressed with your grasps of Spanish vocabulary, we have neglected grammar thus far. Today, we are going to work on verb conjugation. There are a few simple rules, but, of course, many verbs are irregular. Here are some guidelines that will help you determine which is which...

Dream continues talking on this topic for the rest of the class period.

Cat students: No transformation today. Instead, we will watch this documentary about lions. Observe and write a paragraph on what they are saying to each other, and to the filmmakers.

Also, I would like to begin introducing you to actual cats. If you know of one on campus, let me know so that I may issue it an invitation.

Hank clears his throat and, in a oddly raspy voice, says, "I believe that I missed the last class session and I would like to know what I need to do for reparation."

Dream goes over to consult his class logs.

Yes. You were absent on Thursday. The other students reviewed this handout and checked it against their own experiences in cat form.

Thank you for checking in.

Were you ill, Mr. McCoy?

Quietly, he responds.

"I was sucked into Locker 327 sometime last Thursday. While the resultant experiences were not pleasant, I believe that I've come to terms with the events that precipated my nightmare-rampage several weeks ago.

"Thank you for the handout, sir."

Dream nods, crossing his arms.

I am glad that you were returned, though of course I regret the unpleasantness.

Locker 327 sometimes leads to a version of my realm.

Do you believe that is where you were?

Hank, without needing to think about it, replies, "I doubt it, Professor. The world I came to inhabit appeared to merely be a version of Earth, without any unusual phenomena that would indicate otherwise. I just had a lot of time with which to think."

Time to think is often useful.

Do you need anything else?

"No, thank you, Professor."

Hank's ears twitch, mimicking a Cat shorthand gesture for respect, and he turns and leaves.
