Hunting 101, Thursday

[likethegun]

For today, Sam had decided to get everyone together in a regular classroom, and he waited for everyone to come in and have a seat before getting up from where he was leaning against the desk.

"Hey guys. I'm gonna assume everyone's here for Hunting 101. Uh, welcome," he said, smiling to get rid of some of his nervousness. "My name is Sam Winchester. I don't think I've had the pleasure of getting to know any of you yet, but that's what the first week is all about, right? So, I come from a family of hunters - supernatural hunters, not like, random animal hunters. Our family business is finding demons, ghosts, and any other creatures that are hurting people, and taking them out. But, I also graduated from Fandom, so I know that not every special creature you might run across is necessarily evil." Hopefully, that would be reassuring to anyone special in the room. "My goal with this class is to help you recognize the signs that something evil is around, and start to know how to take care of the problem. Considering how often this place gets invaded... well, we'll see if it's all useful."

Sorry to anyone who didn't know about the invasions yet! "For today, I just want to get a feel for who's here. Let me know your name, and any experience you might have with the supernatural. Oh, and if you have any weapon training, that would be good to know too."

"My name is Frank Doyle and I was but a small child when I first encountered something that I have very deliberately repressed so I'd thank you for not asking for details. More recently I ended a monster-hunting relationship with a church due to an incident I'm currently trying to repress, in relation to which I expect that you'll offer the same level of not butting in," Frank said. He took a drink, because if course there was a glass on his desk. Did you not hear him about repression? "But in between those events were plenty of other monsters, ghosts, demons, and the occasional old groundskeeper in a rubber mask to whom a group of meddling kids were a constant irritant, to say nothing of their pet dog. I don't have any deeply personal reasons to not get into any of those, I just don't care enough about record-keeping to keep them straight."

"And I know a thing or two about weapons."

It was only through years of practice that Sam was able to keep a straight face and simply nod in understanding. "Okay, I... will refrain from asking too many questions about your past," he said. "But it seems like you're going to be well-equipped for this class."
