fandomhigh | Myths and Legends of the Deep {Thursday, Period 2}

"Welcome to Myths and Legends of the Deep," Summer began, as soon as the last student settled in. "For those of you that don't know me, I'm Summer Pitt. You can call me Summer or Miss Pitt, if you prefer."

Summer passed out the syllabus before continuing. "Throughout this course, we will cover myths and legends pertaining to the ocean. Today, we're going to take it easy and just start with introductions. I'd like your name, grade and what myth you'd like to cover the most. It can be anything you can think of and it doesn't have to be on the syllabus," she explained.

"I also know that we all come from different worlds, so some of these might actually exist where you come from. So, please, let me know if that's the case and I'll gladly change to a new topic if you want me to."

Summer didn't want to make her students uncomfortable, after all.

"Next week, we'll be meeting in the Danger Shop." I'm also looking for one or two TAs, if anyone's interested."

[OCD is up. Have at it!]

Leda

Nico di Angelo

Jason Todd

George Lass

Princess Ariel

React to the syllabus, chat with your neighbors, you know the drill.

Percy was still feeling the effects of the sparring match from Nico so he was glad the lecture was short and he didn't have to try and pay attention. Yes, despite being able to heal himself, his headache was a reminder of Nico and the hilt of his sword.

Luke was in a remarkably good mood because he wasn't the one that made an ass out of himself yesterday. So he was gonna sit back and enjoy this.

Leda wasn't happy. Strider, or possibly Leander kept signing her up for these classes. Trying to make her face her fears hadn't dispelled them yet, there was no reason to think it would work this time.

Was Nico in class? He was having a hard time realizing that anything was going on besides being slumped at a desk doodling on paper someone had given him. Unlike his cousin, the effects of their spar involved visible bruising that made him wince when he tried to rest his head against his hand.

Jason was very grateful that he hadn't been involved in any fighting yesterday, but he might have been a little distracted from the lecture by watching Nico to see if he looked like he was going to keel over at any moment.

Eventually Nico caught Jason staring and mouthed, "What?" as if he had no idea why Jason might be concerned for his health.

"Sit still," Jason mouthed back. Maybe if he did that, Jason would be able to notice if he started leaning to one side.

Nico's eyebrow lifted in confusion and he winced, gingerly touching his temple with cold fingers to ease the ache. "Whatever," he shrugged, not knowing what Jason was going for with sitting still.

Jason just facepalmed and went back to trying to give at least a little of his attention to their teacher. He'd have to check on Nico once they were outside of class, and could actually talk.

Name, grade and a myth you'd like to cover over the course of the semester.

"I'm Percy Jackson and I'm a sophomore," he started, hoping his voice didn't sound like he had a headache. "As for myths, I'm easy. I know a lot about Greek myths though so maybe something besides that."

"I'm Luke Castellan and I'm a sophomore." He didn't appreciate the reminder that he was probably the only 19 year old sophomore in existence. "And, um, I guess the Bermuda Triangle seems kind of cool I wouldn't mind learning about that."

He just didn't want to get in the water, okay?

"I'm Leda, a senior, and uh, I guess the myth of Atlantis sounds cool." It actually sounded the least scary to her which was why she picked it. Though still, the thought of being stuck in a city while it sank beneath the waves? Nightmare fuel.

Oh shit, was he supposed to talk? "Another sophomore, Nico di Angelo," he said, not having heard the instruction but winging it based on what those before him had said. "I...agree Percy is easy, and I know a ton about mythology, just not much about boats." Other than certain cruise ships.

Luke tried to pass off his laugh at Nico's answer as a cough but it didn't work out too well. Oh well, he'd take the glare for it.

"I'm Jason Todd, and I'm a sophomore. I don't really have a preference for myths," he said, avoiding the word "easy" unlike some morons. "The Greek ones, uh, fascinate me the most." Gee, wonder why? "But mythology in general is cool."

"George Lass," she said. "Senior. I wanna hear about those weird ghost ships. Everyone's gone, no one's on it, but it's still drifting through the night?"

Sorry. She'd been morbid even when she was alive.

She's here, both before and after class. And if anyone's interested in being a TA, come talk to her.

It's Thursday, which means it's almost Friday. Yay?
