True Heroism! The Olympian Way! Session 7. Period 3
For today's final, Hercules again directed the class into the Danger Shop.
"We have done many things, fought dragons, rescued kittens, designed outfits. But this class is also about the Olympian way, so today we go to the great deeds of Olympic heroes. And I don't mean those of Jesse Owens, whose deeds were that of legend as well."
He grinned as he gestured to what lay ahead of them. In front of the class was a big wooden door, the kind one would normally expect in front of a dungeon. But surely they'd done a dungeon already?
"Ahead of you lies the mighty labyrinth, that which Theseus conquered," Hercules said. "Ah, but you are thinking, 'Hercules, why not one of your own triumphs?'. Those I am saving for my fall class. This... this is a classic. You should be happy I did not pick Icarus! Though... Warren here would be at an unfair advantage, there." He laughed.
"The task is almost sheer elegance in its simplicity," Hercules said. "Get to the center of the labyrinth, where there is punch and pie."
He pressed open the doors to the labyrinth.
"Oh, and there is a minotaur in there. And some trolls. And a few goblins. Just to make it interesting."
He laughed, and gestured for the class to enter.
"I shall see you at the center!"
[ooc:OCD first, por favor Open class! Woo!]

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves/Prepare to Set Out
"Thanks, I guess," Warren replied, blushing just the slightest bit all over again. "I still think colors like this are better suited to tropical parrots, but so long as they're not hideous," grey, featherless, infected, infected, infected, "and they still work, I think I can live with it until it fades."
Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves/Prepare to Set Out
"Perhaps Karla was on your mind when you decided to have this done. She might be flattered to learn that." She wasn't suggesting Warren lie, of course, but it was a possibility, wasn't it?
Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves/Prepare to Set Out
"... That sounds about as likely as any other theory I've managed to come up with to explain this," he admitted, finally.
