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!

"Nope! Definitely not," Arden said. "I didn't expect mortal danger."

Charlie laughed. "We're supposed to be safe in the danger shop, but who even knows how this happened. We'll be fine, though. Threats seem to work well and I can do some defensive charms if necessary."

Arden gingerly patted her zombies again. "I'm very glad that our exam isn't to kill everything in here. I'll settle for getting away."

"Better to get away and live to fight another day," Charlie agreed. "But I think something just went wrong with the Danger Shop. I'm sure it will be fine soon!"
