Paranormal Activity, March 22nd

Alaric had asked everyone to come to the danger shop for class today and when the students came in they would notice they were in what looked like the world's largest living room or something. Just a bunch of TVs in a row with X-Box's hooked up to them and comfy couches to sit on.

"Everyone pick a couch and get comfy. We're gonna use the TVs after I'm done lecturing," Alaric said as people started shuffling in. "Speaking of lectures, nice work last week. You did my job admirably."



"Today we're going to be covering zombies. Again, not something I've had personal experience with but I am a big fan of Romero movies...and Weekend At Bernie's." Don't you judge him. "Zombies typically come in two metaphorical flavors--the voodoo kind and the "hell's full so the dead are walking the earth" kind you see in most movies. I'm gonna explain both today but today's activity deals with the latter."

Alaric launched into a lecture where he started off explaining the voodoo zombies that most likely weren't zombies at all, rather just people who were buried accidentally or had been drugged on purpose to cause zombie-like brain damage so they could be sold into slavery. Then he got into the zombies that most people would be familiar with. Brain eating ones that were a threat because of their numbers and one bite from them meant it was all over for you. Then he went into how to destroy them, noting that you should always go for the head and fire is not your friend 'cause flaming zombies would still try to eat you.

"Okay, so, I'm not exactly gonna make you guys get your clothes all gross by killing whatever fake zombies I could make this room come up with so instead you're gonna try your hand at a video game. It's less traumatizing and you won't have to do laundry later," he said. "Feel free to play by yourself or partner up. Working in small groups is best for an actual zombie attack anyway."

"I don't think so. And honestly, with things like increased speed and strength? Who would want to?" Although she could do without the whole random bouts of stress induced blood hunger, not that Dru was going to mention that bit.

"But you just said it has been nothing but trouble," Raven pointed out, concerned.

"Because my dad is dead. And the vamp that did it would like nothing more then to have me as some sort of happy snack." Minor things, really. "But for what I'm probably going to wind doing after I leave here? Hunting? Maybe this will give me an edge and keep me alive."

"Very well, then as long as you...." Raven caught herself before she blurted out something like "are not biting people," and instead said, "...have accepted this, then I hope you are right, and you can use your gifts to protect yourself and others." Much like she used the powers her father had given her to help and heal rather than destroy.
