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.

"Kitty is my roommate and a good friend...as is Lockheed."
Re: Office hours and language lab, 10/31
She's been gone since Thursday. Something happened in town. We're trying to find out what -- Lockheed's memory was confused.
Re: Office hours and language lab, 10/31
"Sir, he's my friend...when we find out what has happened, or even sooner, would I be allowed to keep him with me, for awhile. I would like to do something for him and help find Kitty. He and Kitty..." Phoebe swallowed. "They've always been there for me, no matter how alone I've felt."
Re: Office hours and language lab, 10/31
As for Lockheed ... I'll ask him when he wakes up. He is comfortable with me, though, and I can talk to him, which is useful."
[OOC: Kitty's player is still writing Lockheed -- check with her about where she wants the dragon to go. Also, it looks like this plot kind of exploded while I was offline, so ... lots of reading to do.]
