The Fifteen Labors of Fandom, Session 7, Period 1
Hercules had plans for today, oh yes he did. He also had a completely new outfit. Complete with pants! And belt pouches! He had the class assemble in a classroom, and clapped his hands together once it was time to start the session.
"One of the things about heroic deeds is that sometimes the simplest is the most important," Hercules said. "This week's task will not take place in this classroom, but out and about this weekend, as it is the glorious time of Homecoming! I want you all to do one thing this weekend for someone who could use a good deed. Perhaps you will help an old lady cross a street, or ask some shy person to dance with you at the dance, or perhaps you will save someone who is being bullied. These are all good deeds, often overlooked as unimportant, but they are far from it."
He raised a hand, a single finger outstretched and pointed at the ceiling. "But don't think you are getting out of class early, either," he said. "No, today I want a class discussion. I have been focusing on bringing out the best qualities in each of you through trials of skill, perseverance, and wit. Today I want everyone to share a labor they've endured outside of this class, and how you feel it helped shape you."
He pointed at a student at random. "You, you can start!"
[ooc:OCD comin' up! Class up and ready!]

Re: Share a 'Labor'
"Well," she said, in a modest tone that really wasn't, "there was this one time I traversed to the land of Tamir in search of a magic fruit that would save my dying father from a sudden illness and, while I was there, I just so happened to save the kingdom from an evil tyrant of a witch, rescue a frail fairy queen, and release an unfortunate young prince from a terrible spell. I suppose something like that can test a girl's mettle well enough, and it certainly helped shape me to appreciate the things I have, as well as know I have the confidence and ability to do what I must for the people I love and care for, as well as to do the same for people I've only just met."
