The Island Hates You (Yes, You), Thursday Period 2

Class was in the danger shop and lucky for everyone, Cara understood the controls. Because Magnus? Magnus botched quite a few skill checks there.

Oops.

"Hello, my name is Magnus Burnsides. Fighter. Sometimes rogue," he announced cheerfully before looking at his teachin' buddy.

"Cara," Cara said from her place next to a large covered box that was shaking and making hissing noises. Probably nothing to worry about there. "And the island hates you."

It was a class name and a statement of fact, handy!

Magnus honestly looked like he wan't to dispute that, but a glance at the hissing box stopped him. "Yeeeeeah. It kinda does. Sorry, kids. But. Buuuuut, we're here to teach you how to kick it's ass!"

Or to have fun watching them try. Look one of their teachers was earnest and the other was Cara, this was all going to end in tears at some point. Probably sooner rather than later. "Normally this is where introductions come in, but first an example." A pointed example. A pointed, toothy example.

Okay, it was a box of gremlins. Three guesses whose idea this had been.

Sorry, kids.

Magnus was already hauling his shield forward and--why yes, yes there was a tiny little gremlin on it to show he had fought these little motherfuckers before. Possibly in the battle to get them into the box. He was soooo lucky he had a high AC. "Let's do this."

With the kind of cheerful security that came with only being successfully bit when you weren't wearing head to toe leathers and gloves, Cara tipped the box over towards the class, releasing the gremlins.

"Well, they don't have any gerblins here as far as I can tell," Magnus said, seriously considering the other options.

"Do gerblins get this much drool everywhere?" Yang asked, keeping her gloves on as she started making a little pyramid of the teeth she was pulling out of her poor sweet weapons. "--Because it's disgusting. At least Grimm disintegrate and don't get bodily fluids on you."

"One, no. There was one that we met who looked like the rapper Common." Do not ask how. "Two, what is a Grimm and how might I fight it?"

She wasn't going to ask how, she was just going to assume that a gerblin could shapeshift. Because why not? Maybe it was like a psychic Grimm.

"A Grimm is a murderous creature with no soul that feeds off negative emotions like candy, and would very much like to kill you and eat you," she said cheerfully. "They look like they're made out of shadows and bones and you have to hit them a lot and take off the head, usually, and manage not to die in the process."

Magnus paused, tilting his head as something pinged in his memory at that, but immediately static-ed out the moment he almost had a handle on it.

"I'm down with fighting that."
