Paranormal Activity, March 15th

"Okay, so last week I asked you all to pick a topic to research on so you could teach you fellow classmates a little something today," Alaric said once everybody had come in. "One might think this is me being lazy but for teaching purposes I'm going to say it's an exercise in public speaking."

No, it was him being lazy.

"So, with that in mind, someone should volunteer to present first," he said. "And if no one volunteers then I will make my TA go first because it's her job to do the stuff no one else wants to do. So, for Caroline's sake, someone volunteer."

With that he moved away from the front of the classroom and picked a desk to sit at because he so wasn't the teacher today.

George had not remembered to do the assignment. Luckily, she'd read some on Cerberus last week, while picking the topic, and now was going to try to remember enough to fake it.

"Cerberus is a dog," she said. "A hellhound. He guards the gates of Hell. He's got three heads because --" ... shit, she didn't remember why he had three heads. "-- to, uh, to make him a better guard dog. So he can ... see in more directions. He's there to ... to make sure people didn't come into Hell who weren't supposed to. And that people didn't leave, either."

This was going so well.

"There was a labor of meta for Hercules? Where he had to ... like, he was given all these stupid tasks he had to do? And the last one, he had to go subdue the dog, without using a weapon, and he did it because ... you know. He's meta for Hercules. So ... he beat the labors and got to ... win. Whatever they had bet on the whole ... labors, thing."

Was that long enough? She hoped it was long enough. Because she was gonna nod, once, and then sit down.
