Language Classes, Friday, Oct. 21

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

As he did last Friday, Dream has stocked the table at the front of the room with candy, popcorn and sodas and rolled in a large-screen TV.

Hello.

We are watching movies again today. Classics students, here is a filmed production of Oedipus Rex. I was not satisfied with the filmed versions of the play that I could find in this world; here is one pulled from the dreams of Sophocles.

Languages of Asia students, we will continue Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon from last week. You should be able to pick out certain words and phrases in the dialogue, though Mandarin and Cantonese are quite different.

As always, I remind you that I will pay special attention to students who fall asleep during the films.

Thomasina signs the roster and takes her seat. She is absolutely thrilled by the idea of getting to see a production of Oedipus Rex as it would have been staged by Sophocles, himself.

Sam signs in and wishes idly that Daniel was a student as she watches, armed with a large cup of coffee. He'd probably get a big kick out of this film.

She looks around for Janet, but then remembers that her friend is now in Ethics on Fridays at this time.

Evelyn entered with her head down and signed in. She took a seat at the back of the class and kept her head down.

Sam notices Evelyn and writes a note:

Evie? What happened yesterday? Are you okay? I got your phone call, but you ran off without telling me where you were going, so I couldn't help.

Rogue signs in and watches, fascinated.

Evelyn's eyes fill with tears when she reads the note. She hadn't meant to worry anyone.

Sam...I'm not sure what happened yesterday or what I might have said. It appears that I was drugged with some sort of toxin that had me acting strangely and had me terrified. I am so sorry, Sam.

"Professor?" Rory asks, approaching his desk. "May I ask you a question? It's for a journalism project."

Sam reads the note, shaking her head.

As long as you're sure you're fine now, I'm not at all worried. Next time just try and tell me where you are, okay? We're good, see?

She gives Evie a smile as she hands the note over.

Evelyn smiles back, but she still feels bad.

I think I'm okay, just my throat hurts from all of the screaming I did. Apparently I spent a lot of time running from place to place in terror.

Re: Classics, 10/21

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam winces at the note. Been there, done that (well, almost).

Yikes. But you got help, right? Other than your throat, this won't come back, will it?

Re: Classics, 10/21

[egyptianlove.livejournal.com]

I don't know because I don't know what exactly happened or what was used on me. All I do know is that for 24 hours I was terrified that someone with a big knife was going to kill me.

Re: Classics, 10/21

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

That's horrible! Does anybody know anything at all?

Re: Classics, 10/21

[egyptianlove.livejournal.com]

Not as far as I know. I plan to find out, though. Would you be willing to help?

He falls asleep about five minutes into the movie.

Dream inclines his head slightly.

Go ahead, Miss Gilmore.

Standing next to Murphy, Dream wills himself into Murphy's dreamscape and takes a look around.
