Time for School

AWRIGHT, LISTEN UP!

Now that I've got yer attention, the name's Hellboy. I been workin' for the better part'a fifty years fer the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, and I am now a teacher here at Fandom High. I'm here because there's a bunch'a ya who know what's out there in the shadows of th' world, some of ya who ARE what's out there in the shadows of th' world, and some who got the powers or abilities to deal with what's out there.

So we're gonna have us a class. Paranormal Studies 101. Every student who signs up is taking the 101 class. There is no discussion of that. I don't care how much experience ya got, you take 201 when I say ya do.

Understand, if ya got paranormal powers or abilities, yer not gonna be forced to take the class. But I am gonna have my eye on you *cracks the knuckles of the enormous stone gauntlet covering his right hand for emphasis*. And havin' powers or abilities ain't a prerequisite fer takin the class. All are welcome. There ain't no textbooks, and all grading will be based on participation- in-class discussion, theory-in-practice, and combat field training.

The classroom is in the basement of the main school building at the very back. And that door wasn't there yesterday, in case anybody's gonna get smart and contradict me. It's a portal that's gonna lead ya to a safe area. It's been enchanted to make sure nobody can get seriously hurt or killed durin' class. My class is also chronofluid, although generally we'll be meetin' every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. First class will be Monday. I know ya all got a busy week startin' things here, so you can rest easy until then. Sign up for the class will be ongoing until Sunday night, by which time I hope the headache this is gonna give me goes away.

There are things I ain't gonna tolerate in class: nazis, cyborg nazi gorillas, elder chaos gods, elder gods from the dark beyond space, killing Catholic priests, sacrificing humans, sacrificing animals, cheating, using magic or scientific performance enhancers and cannibalism. Professor Jerusalem is the exception to that last one, and if ya piss me off you will be fed to him as a midnight snack.

Signup sheet's posted. Make sure I can read yer name.

*Lights up a cigar and walks away.*

This sounds interesting. No paranormal experience (besides this school), but it seems like it would be a good idea to learn all I can. Alex Krycek, sir.

Well, I've seen some strange and otherworldly things and I have to admit I find meself a bit curious about how they might find various and sundry ways of doing me harm. So I'd better sign in, so I can find various and sundry ways of doin' them harm first, savvy?

I should be most interested in joining your class, Professor.

Hellboy, huh? Like the name. Love to take the class but considering the priest thing, what's your stance on tormenting nuns?

*Holds hands up in the picture of innocence* What? A vamp can't ask a question around here?

Late enrolment, sir. Do we have class times?

Count me in - the creepy stuff intrigues me.

I should like to better understand the abilities of fellow students and the paranormal at large, sir, if there is still available space.

May I sign up? I am very interested in this sort of thing.

I'm going to have to change my mind. I do apologize. Perhaps I'll enroll in this class next, yeah?

Please...sign me up?

[identity profile] e-verdigris.livejournal.com 2005-09-12 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Coming as I do from a land where the existence of the paranormal is hotly debated, I would very much enjoy taking your class.

I'd like to enroll, please.

. . . um, do you have issues with werewolves?

I know I'm coming in after the beginning of term, but if it's possible to late register, I'd like to take this class.
Thank you,
Duce

I'd like to sign up sir if you've still got room.

Thanks mate!

Is it too late to sign up, Professor? And will this class conflict with my Manipulation, Myth, and Magic course (which also meets on M, W, F)?
