Basic Questing! Wednesday, Period Four

"Greetings, one and all!" Thor, clad in cape, helmet, and all, greeted the class once they'd all arrived and gotten themselves seated. "I am Thor, Son of Odin, and I welcome you to Basic Questing! This course will involve a mixture of classroom discussion and practical exercises that will hopefully result in you being prepared to undertake the type of journey that bards write songs about!"

Thor began to pace the length of the classroom as he continued speaking. "There are many types of quests, of course. Some cultures have their young set out with a task that, upon completion, will prove to their elders that they are worthy of being considered an adult. Sometimes a quester seeks to return a stolen object or person to their rightful home. Other times they simply seek the glory of a good fight! These are all, of course, excellent reasons for undertaking a quest."

"As is customary on the first day of class, I'd like you all to introduce yourselves. Name, year, why you're taking this class, and one object you would deem essential on your own heroic journey," he pointed at a random student and gestured for them to begin.

Once the introductions had concluded, Thor addressed the class as a whole once more. "I am looking for someone to take on the position of Teaching Assistant. If you're interested, please speak to me after class."

What. What?

As the lecture progressed, Vider would be digging her increasingly-crumpled class schedule with its weirdly spelled days out of her bag, smoothing it out and verifying that yes, she had missed the teacher's name before, that was really what it said, and also, what?

She could swear that was not what Thor had looked like the last time she saw him, and couldn't imagine why he was teaching in a high school and she hadn't heard about it, but, well, gods. Who knew with them?

"Lord, I am Vider Bearskin," Vider said proudly, lifting her chin. "I'm fifteen and a sophomore, and I went on a quest kind of by accident this spring, and I'd like to be better prepared the next time it happens. And one item I would take on a quest is money. A lot of it." Gas didn't pay for itself.

Hi, Thor. You were hot. Isabelle would have no trouble introducing herself with a smile here. "Isabelle Lightwood, sixteen and a junior. And I'd bring my whip."

"I'm Billy Kaplan, I'm a senior, and I'm here to learn more about questing before, well, things go haywire at home again and I accidentally end up on a quest." That was a good way to explain world ending catastrophes, right? "Oh, and I would bring my spells."

When Vider approached Thor after class, she went down on one knee, as one did before a god, and respectfully lowered her eyes. "Lord, if it is an assistant you require, it would be my honor, though I serve the Alfather." She just wanted that set right out there, Thor. She wasn't going to go switching allegiances again, she'd already done that once and pissed off one god. It never hurt to go sucking up to other ones.

Why yes, she did still think like Lokiskin, why did you ask?
