Classics/Foreign Lit, Period 2, 4/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream is seated cross-legged on his desk as he greets his students. "Hello. Today's task should be easy enough; use the books around the room and in the library, if needed, to work on your final papers. I would like you to choose your topics for class on Thursday, and then the papers will be due on May 4."

"Please let me know if you have questions.:

John signs in, totally not sleepy.

John peered over her shoulder. Totally innocent.

Did not totally innocently flash the "thumbs up" sign.

Nadia's smirk turned into a grin. Good for you!

She tried not to think too much about having dreamed that John had been married to Angela.

Okay, dinner, then! I'll meet you at your room? Or his room?

John does not write disparaging remarks about Sydney in his notebook. Certainly not sideways so that Syd could read.

I suppose. Fill me in on juicy gossip?

John, before notepassing, asks Dream generic questions about a generic final paper. He does not do it to ask if Dream's a fan of butter and jam.

T3 canon. Weeeeee!

Okay. and where's his room?

Re: Classwork, Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/25

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia totally didn't blush.

Re: Classwork, Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/25

[nadiathesaint]

Great. Dinner it is! Nadia considered suggesting Cafe Fina as a good spot, but didn't Walter work there on Tuesdays? Damn. Chinese sound good?

He mouths "Nope" and smirks adorably.

Re: Classwork, Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/25

[nadiathesaint]

Yay! She glanced over at Dream. Right, we should probably work on our papers, now.

[ooc: and I'm off to lunch. be back in half an hour.]

John totally didn't grow a halo.

Mouths "I hate you more" with a "mwwwwah!" kissy noise.

Elizabeth signed in for Foreign Lit.

Re: Classwork, Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/25

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth has several books surrounding her as she works on her laptop. Including an Italian dictionary.

And, returning the favor, Dream does not tell John he prefers marmalade, or ask how he feels about the works of Mary Shelly.

Anders has a free period next, so he figures while he's here, what the hell? He hangs back for a while at the end of class, hoping to talk to Dream.

"Sir? This, um, isn't about my final paper or anything, but if I could ask you a quick question?"

Re: After Class, Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream nodded. "You may."

Re: After Class, Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/25

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Thanks, sir." He shifted from one foot to the other awkwardly, fiddling with the strap of his backpack and not daring to look up. "I, um. When you have a dream that seems way more real than you're used to, does it have to mean something, or could it just be a fluke?"

Re: After Class, Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

"Dreams are fragments," the professor said. "They all mean something, but they are not all true, no. So it may be, as you say, a fluke."

Re: After Class, Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/25

Anders nodded slowly. "Dreamed I was rich and successful and the only person left on my entire planet. Been kind of wondering if that was me being afraid of what might happen to me if I got too ambitious," he said, carefully leaving out the part about Cally being gone; that was a fear he didn't want to voice again.

"Is that what you believe, Mr. Anders?" Dream asked. "It is as good an explanation as any."

He brought a hand to his chin briefly. "It is not something that must happen, simply because it was dreamt."

Re: After Class, Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/25

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"It --" It wasn't strictly true, but Anders nodded again. "I am scared of success turning me into a jerk, yeah. It could've been a warning. Is that possible?"

Re: After Class, Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/25

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

"Many things are possible," Dream said. "But no, I do not think that is necessary your destiny."

Anders let out a long breath and was surprised to realize he'd been holding it in. "Okay. That's all I really needed to know, sir." He grinned awkwardly. "One less thing off my mind while I work on my final project, I guess."
