Creature Languages, 3/16, Period 3

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream stands before class in his robes, a raven perched on his shoulder. There is a stack of vocabulary handouts on the table in the front of the room.

"This is Matthew. He will be teaching you today," Dream says, then steps aside.

Matthew takes flight, circling over the heads of the students, before perching back on the lectern and opening his beak. He speaks in English.

"Hey. I'm Matthew, like the boss said. I used to be a man, I smashed up my car, now I'm a raven. It happens."

And if birds could shrug, that's what he would be doing. "Anyhow. It's pretty cool. I'm even used to eating rats now, and our culture's pretty neat, if I do say so myself."

"I hate this lecturing thing. Study your vocabulary sheets and then ask me a question. Raven's better, but if you have to speak in English, go ahead."

With that, Matthew snaps his beak shut and watches the class expectantly.

"I should do that! And that means I could go to the library which means..." Blair paused and bounced. "Research!"

Molly gave Blair an unsure look. Research didn't sound like that much fun.
