Practical Folklore, Monday 2nd period
"Welcome to your final," Jon said once everyone had settled in. He was holding a stack of papers like a dork, and the Danger Shop was configured like a boring classroom for the moment. "Today we'll have a brief exam and some essay questions." He gestured at the woman standing next to him. "Along with some help from our guest lecturer."
Liliana gave the assembled class a small, pleased smile and a nod.
He passed out the papers to each of them. "First of all, I'll be using this room to call up a few examples of each being we've discussed, and I'd like you each to look at them, speak with them if you wish, and determine what they are and how you'd deal with them, and write that down." Call it a mixed practical and written exam.
Surely this could not go badly?
Jon went back up to the front desk and punched buttons, and an assortment of beings with shirts labeled "1", "2", "3", and so forth appeared before the class. He looked to Liliana to make sure the zombies seemed okay.
With an examination that would make an art appraiser proud, Liliana looked over the zombies that she'd helped input into the Danger Shop and nodded her approval. Tony was right, this had been easy.
Not that the zombies were alone. There were zombies, vampires, women perched on rocks combing out their hair and singing, men with eyes that shone lambent in the light and looked a little shaggier than one might expect and many, many more.
"Right. Here we go." Jon pressed a button, and the beings came to life and started milling around. Ask your questions, students!

Re: Talk to Jon OR LILI
For a moment, Liliana considered raising more zombies to assist, but then decided absolutely not. She was minimizing her involvement with this as much as she could after the fact.
"There are easier ways to handle it," Liliana said as the fae let out a despairing wail before they turned into dust. "See?"

A werewolf in an 'Accelerant Boffer System' tee-shirt and a witch with a D&D hat both stopped to look into a non-existent camera, which gave Liliana the opportunity to crook a finger and reave their souls.

It was lovely.
Re: Talk to Jon OR LILI
Assuming she would probably get to that, Jon moved on to the next one. He was already feeling a bit light-headed, so hopefully he could make it through enough of these to keep the students safe.
Too few people on Fandom were afraid like sensible beings!
