fandomhigh | Monsters and Humans, Friday, Period 4

From the way Drac strode into the classroom, head high, confident, cape billowing majestically... you wouldn't guess that he had just been led through the worst of the sewers from the hotel by a snickering gremlin.

He'd changed his clothes just before entering the classroom, though, and not even a hellhound could smell any of the sewer on him now, but a twitch at the corner of Drac's eye that meant SOMEmonster was going to get in trouble when located later.

He gave the room a glance; almost everyone was human-like in appearance! Drac dropped his stoic pose for half a moment to sag in despair that even here the children felt they should have to worry and fear about how they look.

He straightened quickly, though and nodded. "My name is Count Dracula, and I will be teaching relations between Monsters and Humans. Something with which I am very familiar." Another twitch.

"Today we will start by getting to know each other. Let us go around the room and say our names and what type of monster we are. And maybe something that you want the others to know about your kind." He gave a side glance. "Like how gremlins are totally not to be trusted, even when you pay them."

"My daughter, Mavis, will be my Teaching Assistant, and I will be choosing another before the end of class today. Oh. And please, feel free to return to your normal state," he waved a hand dismissively. Seeing his fellow monsters hide was making him depressed. "We are all monsters here; no need to fear."

...

He gave a dangerous smile full of fang. "Unless you're a gremlin named Gregory."

[Yeeeah, today Drac twigs to the fact that the primary population on the island is not "monster."]

After over a hundred years of hanging out with Wayne and Wanda and countless other werewolves, Drac could tell when there was one nearby - even one who was in human form. So he just raised an eyebrow at the boy.

"Yeeeeeees. Human." Drac believed you, Jackson. Really. "And something we should know about you?"

Funny, Jackson felt exactly like his honesty was being doubted. His jaw tightened – well, it did so even more than it already had. This was a pretty stressful day.

He shook his head with a tense little shrug. "Can't think of anything."

And this from the former kanima. For shame, Jackson.

It was probably the fact he was being doubted. Funny how that worked.

"I see. You've never been misunderstood and are completely uninteresting?"

Jackson's lips thinned, but he forced out a, "Pretty much."

... It severely pained his ego to say that.

Jackson was going to be such a favourite student, yes.

"Well, then. I'm sure you'll be the best of students." Or the one Drac always called on. One of those two.
