Magical Bestiary | Tuesday, period 2

The Danger Shop was set up like a pleasant room, sunlit polished wood all around. It was comfortable and just slightly dinged up. "Good morning," Bob greeted the students. He looked them over critically, noting the new faces. "This is the Magical Bestiary class, where we plan on learning all about a number of magical creatures - what sorts there are, what you can and should do if faced with them, and how to determine when you're faced with them."

He might have smirked just a little at that and hoped the returning students weren't of a mind to talk. Then again, Bob smirked a lot. When he wasn't scowling.

"This week is the week for introductions. In addition to your names, I should like to know what sorts of magical creatures, if any, you have experience with. If you've had friends among them, fought them, or what have you. To begin, my name for those of you who aren't aware is Hrothbert of Bainbridge. You may all call me Bob, or Sir if you're the formal type." He waved one hand dismissively. "I care less how you address me and more how you learn, since one is more likely to get you killed than the other."

Then the smirk was out in full force. "Although address me too disrespectfully, and I can and will make your life miserable." He went back to smiling pleasantly and pacing a bit. "My world is home to any number of creatures; I have personally encountered vampires, werewolves, ghosts, demons, dragons, natural spirits, and unfortunately even an old god or two. Before coming here," he clarified. "I've also lived with and taught any number of wizards and sorcerers."

He clapped his hands together. "So, names and prior experience, please. And Anders, assuming he's there, you'll be my TA again, if you've no objections?"

"Candy that nobody likes," Mabel explained, matter-of-factly. "All of the candy that people throw away after the Summerween festivities are through, all congregated in one place and taking a sad and pathetic and frankly pretty terrifying life of its own."

She gave a shrug of her shoulders.

"You know, like black licorice and candy corn and Blor̈ch."

"It's a little more nasty than gummy chairs, but not quite as nasty as Homework The Candy."

That explained it all.
