Dream is wearing a sombrero today, and he does not look at all silly. Really. He has also put a plastic pumpkin full of hard candy on his desk for students to take from as they wish.

A dragon naps curled up on a blanket on the corner of a classroom. Some students may recognize him.

Hello.

To mark All Hallow's Eve, we will be discussing supernatural events in class today. I hope you find them entertaining. I have also handed out vocabulary sheets of words used around this holiday.

Classics students: I will read to you Homer's account of Achilles' encounter with the ghost of Patroclus. Note how the description of the ghost compares to our modern concept of spirits, or hauntings, and write a paragraph about this for class Wednesday.

Languages of Asia: The Jiangshi, or "hopping corpses," are the vampires of China. Many folktales feature them, and I will recount a few now. For homework, write a paragraph on how these vampires compare to the vampires of your home dimension.

Dream dims the lights in his classroom.

He is an excellent storyteller.

I wish you all a pleasant Halloween.

Evelyn signed in and listed to the story, taking notes every so often.

Draco signs in and listens to the ghost story. He is fairly amused at the muggle concept of ghosts and is reminded of the ones at Hogwarts.

Sam signed in and tried to listen to the ghost story, but was mostly distracted by her own thoughts and concerns.

Janet signed in and took a seat near Sam. She listed to the ghost story while doodling in her notebook.

Rogue signs in and listens attentively. She walks and acts as if she's in a dream, a tiny smile on her face the whole time.

Thomasina signs her name to the roll, takes her seat and proceeds to make careful notes in her exercise book whilst listening to the Professor read.

Rory signs in, setting ~~Toto~~ Vladdie by her desk in his basket, and listens to the story.

Connor signs in, and takes his usual seat. He settles in to listen to the tales.

Murphy signs in a few minutes later.

For some reason, he takes a seat a few spaces away from his twin.

Connor galnces at him, eyes the empty seat directly beside him and gives Murphy a confused look.

Murphy bites his lip and turns away, seemingly focused on his notetaking.

Connor wonders if he did something to upset Murphy, and thinks if anyone has a right to be upset it's him since Murphy never showed at the Halloween Ball last night.

Signs in, listens.

Sonia signs in and listens intently to Dream's story.

Anders signs in and listens. He's intrigued by how much this sounds like something he could've read back home.

Not that he could've heard someone tell it nearly as well back home, though.
