Love & Romance, Hollywood Style [Period 4, Class 2]

[carpe_demon]

Drake was deeply engrossed in a book when the students began to arrive to class. Behind him, a piece of chalk was moving by itself on the blackboard, writing out a pair of quotes: "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while" and "I know that a life without love is no life at all."

"And they all lived happily ever after," Drake said after a moment, closing his book. "Most of you have probably heard those words; they're commonly used to end fairy tales and movies inspired by them." He snapped his fingers, and an old-style film projector appeared. "For example, meta for Ever After and The Princess Bride." The projector began to play clips from both the movies.

After the clips had finished, Drake addressed the class again. "So, do you think happily ever after can happen in real life, or is it just a fairy tale? Oh, and Fiona, since you missed the first class, you're my second TA. Surprise!"

"You're insane."

...she was just putting that out there. You know. Because her brain-to-mouth filter occasionally ran away screaming.

"I've been called worse," Drake said. "I kind of like being crazy."

"I wasn't trying to-- I don't want you to regret this."

It wasn't a threat by any spread. More 'oh god I'm going to do horribly with this'.
