Hunting 101 - Wednesday

There was an assortment of items on the table at the front of the class, neatly laid out so everything was visible.

"Today we're gonna talk about the tools of the trade," Dean said. "Aside from a can do attitude and moderate death wish."

Hunting: fun for all the girls and boys. Just like a slinky!

"If it exists, there's a way to kill it. These things are the most basic items you can use on a majority of the crap out there."

Sam shot Dean a dirty look in the hope that he could discourage him from mentioning death wishes and, you know, scaring their students. "Salt is great because you can find it just about anywhere, and it can be used to guard yourself against evil spirits, and to keep them in place if you can get a circle of it around them fast enough."

Bitch, please. Dean was made to scare students. "Works on demons too. Won't stop 'em for long, but a face full of salt will sure ruin their day. And we know what you're thinkin'. Salt? Really? It's an old school purifying agent. Think of it as nature's response to the freaky shit in the world. Which would lead us into another old school purifier... fire."

"The only way to really get rid of a ghost or spirit is to burn whatever's keeping them tied to here. Usually it's their bones but sometimes you have to get creative," Sam said. "You also have to be careful--salt won't hurt you if you use it wrong, but fire... well, you know."

"Don't set your own ass on fire." Thanks for the clarification that they didn't need, Dean. He cleared his throat, picking up the iron poker on the table. "Iron also works on ghosts. Hit 'em with it and they can't hold themselves together for a little while. It's a handy club if dealing with other monsters too."

"Holy water... okay, that's probably a little harder to get unless you go to church a lot and bring a flask with you, and it's probably not something most people have on hand, but hey, that's what this class is all about," Sam said with a smile.

"We got a sheet with the blessing for you guys," Dean added. "Hope you brushed up on your latin."

"And if you didn't, we can help," Sam said quickly, shooting another look at Dean. It was creepy how all Deans had the same annoying qualities. "Take a look at some of the stuff we have and see if there's anything you think you can use."

All Deans were the best, Sam. Learn to live with it. Or, you know, end up in hell. Too soon? Too soon. "Partner off and think up what else you think should be in your hunting kit."

"Definitely," Raven said. "I hope they at least know not to attack unless whatever it is is actually hurting someone."

"Well, that's the Law, where I'm from," Alec said. "These two... don't give me the impression that they work via legal methods. So I'm not so sure."

It was still weird to admit this to random mundanes, but it had become a force of habit lately. "Not for everyone, but for the people who are supposed to hunt these things, yeah," Alec said. "I'm something called a Shadowhunter. Which makes me sort of an expert."

Shadowhunters had ego problems, generally.

Raven nodded, side of her mouth quirking up. "Then why are you taking this class?"
