Classics 201, 1st class

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream stands before the class, his head held high, dressed in his formal robes. He speaks in a clear, strong voice.

"Hello, and welcome to your first class of the semester. I hope it will be enjoyable for all of you.

Start by reviewing the classroom rules. I would like each of you to sign them at the bottom and turn them in to me. This will serve as our contract for the semester.

Most of you studied with me last term; welcome back. The new student, John Connor, is to be my assistant. Treat him with the respect this role deserves.

Our lecture today will be an overview to refresh your minds about ancient Greek, which was the last tongue we studied last semester. We will spend the rest of the month working on Greek translations and readings.

As always, I will be in my office after class. Creature languages immediately follows this class, but I will be there for the rest of the day."

The administrative business taken care of, Dream delivers his lecture.

This is Anders's only class for the day, and he didn't have to wake up early for it. So he's even more upbeat and bouncy than usual as he comes into the classroom, coffee in hand and his books and supplies packed in the brand new backpack slung over his shoulder. The fact that he did even better than he'd expected to in last semester's Classics course is definitely helping to ease his nerves today.

He gives Dream a cheerful wave as he goes to his seat and pulls out a pen and his notebook (properly octagonal, of course), ready to pay attention to the lecture.

"Mr. Anders, thank you for staying with this class. Is there anything in particular you hope we will cover this term?"

"Well, I'm all fascinated by the ancient Greek religion now, 'cause of my project and all. I wouldn't mind going into that a little bit more, or maybe you could give me pointers on books about it?"
