Language Classes, 10/31
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.

He misses her, he says, with quiet certainty.

That is the hope, yes.
He doesn't say how unlikely he believes it is; it is right that the young should have such hope.

*is impressed by Dream's storytelling skills*
*wonders why she hadn't heard about Chinese vampires before*
