"I apologize for my absence last week," Alaric said once everybody sat down. "I was called out of town unavoidably."

No, Damon had wanted someone to hang out with Monday night and Alaric couldn't get rid of his hangover come Tuesday morning.

"Today is gonna be an easy day. Well, actually it's gonna be an easy day in preparation for the hard day you have next week," Alaric said, smiling. "You've heard me lecture enough so next week you guys are going to do the work for me. We are supposed to cover Greek mythological creatures so what I want you to pick one, do a little research and next week you're gonna stand up in front of the class and tell everyone what you learned about the creature you chose."

Alaric started handing out a list of possible things people could pick. "I want you all to tell me what you want to do your presentation on before you leave class today so nobody does two of the same thing. Oh, and the kraken isn't on that list but you're free to do that as well."

Just so long as they shouted "Release the kraken!" at somebody before classtime was over.

"You all are free to leave after you tell me what you chose. Gives you more time to do research."

What little there was of it.

Bod's mind was mostly elsewhere so he was glad that the lecture was short. He was idly tapping his pen against his desk and staring blankly straight ahead.

An easy day, oh that was music to Kate's ears. With all the stuff she was dealing with this week she wouldn't have exactly had the brainpower necessary for paying attention to any big lecture.

Aw, man, really? An actual freaking report in front of the class? And here Kennedy thought she'd make it through Fandom High without ever having to do that.

It might've been an easy day, but she was totally pouting about this.

Pick from here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_mythological_creatures) or choose something else. Kraken is totally an option.

Bod scanned the list, trying to find something that jumped out at him for some reason. There were a few thing so he scribbled them down and decided to choose later.

Without thinking about it too hard, Kate went for the Furies. It was probably for the best if no one decided to read too much into that.

Good lord, there were so many. After picking and discarding a few ideas, Claudia finally decided to go with a sphinx.

It was probably unsurprising that Kennedy opted for the lamia, huh? She was pretty sure there was a bunch of stuff about that in the books Constance had sent her, and the less time spent researching the better.

Which was the contingency plan; the first plan of action was to try and get the information out of Constance directly.

Raven decided on the Phoenix, due in no small part to her own recent rebirth. And it reminded her of Elizabeth's fiery Soul-Self.

George was going for Cerberus. Why not.

Calvin picked dryads. Hot babes who were trees, how awesome was that?

Dragons. Scully traced the picture of one curled around the base of a tree, and decided to write hers about Ladon. There were other topics more familiar, or that resonated, but she found the idea of something fierce appealing today.

Helen chose the pegasus. A winged horse. Why not?

Once she pings in.

Of course Ric would make them do research, ugh. Caroline was so offended. Also, where was the ode to his awesome TA who had rocked out the lecture last time while he chilled all hungover with his boyfriend? Nowhere, that's where.

Caroline would be at her seat, totally not sulking because she was going to give the most excellent presentation ever.

Who is hangover-free. Hurrah.

Personally I'm fond of kampe.

Oh, and dudes, you can handwave all you want next week I don't even care.

I claim cultural pride and whatever, but I totally wish there was more stuff about Philippine mythical creatures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_mythical_creatures). That stuff scared me forever growing up.

negl, that Manananggal thing sounds freaky as hell.

RELEASE THE ME.
