"Morning everyone. Happy finals week," Alaric said with a smile once everybody came in. "Hope you studied for your test. Or, well, at least showed up to class so you have an inkling what's going on."

Yeah he doubted most people actually studied. Luckily it wasn't really needed if they showed up to class.

"The test is fairly simple so don't get too bent out of shape about it. Relax. Breathe," Alaric said as he passed out the test. "Before you start I want to say that you guys have been a great class and I hope you've learned at least one thing in here. If you didn't learn anything at least pretend you did if I happen to ask."

"Hope you haven't had lunch yet today 'cause today we're covering Wendigos," Alaric said, starting the class off on a high note, as always.

( Mmm cannibalism )

"Welcome back, guys. Glad to see you're all your own age again," Alaric remarked with a smirk. "I bet you'll be glad to get back to the student life after spending the weekend as adults."

Oh, Ric, no they weren't.

( Succubuses...succubai. Whatever, Latin is stupid )

The lights were dimmed and the screen in the front of the classroom was pulled down by the time students came into the classroom today. The smell of popcorn was probably a pretty good indicator of what kind of day it was gonna be.

"We're gonna have an easy day today. Personally I think we all deserve the treat since it's so freaking cold out." What the hell, spring. What the hell. "Also I tend to find that movies--while mostly inaccurate--will help keep you on your toes in a dangerous situation. They're like entertaining 'what not to do' warnings."

"So today we're gonna watch a movie that's set a couple hours away from this very island that is either about a ghost or a witch. Or a ghost of a witch. I never quite figured it out," Alaric admitted. "The movie is over ten years old and is kind of cheesy so I won't hold it against you if you want to heckle it. Just be nice to the janitor and hold off on throwing popcorn at the screen."

With that Alaric turned the lights off all the way and started the movie.

Alaric had asked everyone to come to the danger shop for class today and when the students came in they would notice they were in what looked like the world's largest living room or something. Just a bunch of TVs in a row with X-Box's hooked up to them and comfy couches to sit on.

"Everyone pick a couch and get comfy. We're gonna use the TVs after I'm done lecturing," Alaric said as people started shuffling in. "Speaking of lectures, nice work last week. You did my job admirably."

"Okay, so last week I asked you all to pick a topic to research on so you could teach you fellow classmates a little something today," Alaric said once everybody had come in. "One might think this is me being lazy but for teaching purposes I'm going to say it's an exercise in public speaking."

No, it was him being lazy.

"So, with that in mind, someone should volunteer to present first," he said. "And if no one volunteers then I will make my TA go first because it's her job to do the stuff no one else wants to do. So, for Caroline's sake, someone volunteer."

With that he moved away from the front of the classroom and picked a desk to sit at because he so wasn't the teacher today.

"I apologize for my absence last week," Alaric said once everybody sat down. "I was called out of town unavoidably."

No, Damon had wanted someone to hang out with Monday night and Alaric couldn't get rid of his hangover come Tuesday morning.

"Today is gonna be an easy day. Well, actually it's gonna be an easy day in preparation for the hard day you have next week," Alaric said, smiling. "You've heard me lecture enough so next week you guys are going to do the work for me. We are supposed to cover Greek mythological creatures so what I want you to pick one, do a little research and next week you're gonna stand up in front of the class and tell everyone what you learned about the creature you chose."

Alaric started handing out a list of possible things people could pick. "I want you all to tell me what you want to do your presentation on before you leave class today so nobody does two of the same thing. Oh, and the kraken isn't on that list but you're free to do that as well."

Just so long as they shouted "Release the kraken!" at somebody before classtime was over.

"You all are free to leave after you tell me what you chose. Gives you more time to do research."

Something absolutely tragic must have happened for Alaric to allow Caroline to teach of all things. Give feedback on formal wear? Definitely. Paint a float? Sure! Set a car on ramps to get worked on? Perhaps in desperation! But lead young people toward knowledge? Yeah, not so much a Caroline thing.

"Wow, okay! So, Ric is...somewhere obviously not here," Caroline started, smiling at her peers and hoping no one just up and left right away. "But class must go on, and I've got his emergency plans. Weirdly, they involve showing a movie, which is so below my skillset when it comes to the paranormal, right? I mean, I'm from one of the most supernatural towns in Virginia. We had old timey witch hunts and vampire dens and a whole bunch of randomly appearing werewolves! Okay, and seriously? What is up with werewolves and like, living in recreational vehicles and wearing old, dirty clothes? These guys should have just as much cash in hiding as the vampires. Living it up is totally possible over time, okay?"

Right, class. "But I digress. It's a movie day and our feature film is Battle of the Dragons, starring that super hot Jesus-wannabe Oscar winner. And some dude in an eye patch. Um, I think the paranormal aspect is dragons? Because some people must think they're real. If they are, I'm just gonna be over here, hoping never to meet one. Unless it means I get my own bearded Jesus to protect me."

And lo, she pressed play and shut her trap.

Current Mood: rejuvenated

Alaric, thankfully, had not any kids show up for the weekend. Valentine's Day was tough enough for him, he didn't need to babysit some AU kid that happened to be his and Isobel's if she hadn't decided being a vampire would be fun. No, instead he drank in his apartment and watched some Julia Roberts movies.

What? It was the only thing on.

( Sure it was Alaric. Sure it was )

The fact that his TV kept playing chick flicks instead of the damn weather channel left Alaric pretty irritated. He so hated romantic comedies. He asked the kids to meet him down at the Danger Shop, which had been transformed into a shooting range.

( Nothing says romance like a shooting range )

Current Music: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll

Today the class was held in a regular classroom, with no graves or shovels or anything else like that around. Just a man holding a cup of coffee, looking tired.

Which probably came as a relief after last week's hard labor.

( Class undah here )

Alaric seemed to be in a better mood this week thanks to the fact that his apartment had heat again and he didn't have to trudge through like a foot of snow to get here. The good mood translated into Alaric preparing a long lecture and a stupid-ass activity that would give him great joy to watch people try to pull off. He asked the students to meet him in the Danger Shop, which had been transformed into a pretty large graveyard with a section closed off for desks and a chalkboard since there were notes to be taken before they got to the dirty work.

And there would be dirty work today.

[OCD up]

Alaric had managed to get a generator going in the classroom, so the lights were on and it was warm, but he wasn't in the best of moods and the students probably weren't either. What can you expect of a classroom full of people who couldn't have coffee this morning?

Well there was coffee now, along with hot chocolate, and a projection screen that had the title menu of something called An American Werewolf Rome playing on it. Alaric was standing by the light switch in the room, ready to dim them as soon as he was done talking.

"Okay, well, congratulations to those of you that trudged through the snow to make it in. You'll either be ecstatic or pissed to know you made your way here for a movie day. Sorry, it's hard to remember to bring lesson plans and all that stuff when your power is out," he said. "But I've brought warm drinks to make up for it."

"So this movie isn't the best film ever in terms of acting and storyline, but the special effects are pretty cool and it is about werewolves though all the facts aren't completely accurate. Well, we'll get to that next week," he said. "And sorry about the gratuitous ass shots in the film."

Or he wasn't sorry, if you enjoyed that type of thing.

When the students came into the room on Tuesday they might have noticed that it smelled strongly of old lady (or like a bunch of dried out flowers, rather), but Alaric was acting like he didn't notice anything. If you thought it smelled like old lady now, just wait until later.

"Okay, guys, today we're going to be covering vampires. I'm sure you all know what vampires are, but we're gonna go over the basics anyway for sake of easy test questions when the final comes," Alaric said with a smile. "I realize there are a few vampires in the room, but I promise to be as unbiased as possible. I know you're good people."

You know, when you're not killing innocent carnival workers or biting your golden retriever-like boyfriend, Caroline.

( My handwavy. Let me show you it )

[OCD up]

When students filtered into the classroom on Tuesday they'd see a new teacher sitting at the front desk, immersed in a texting spree with somebody. He made sure that his phone was put away the second class started, however. Had to set a good example and everything.

"Welcome everybody. Just to make sure everyone is in the right class: You all know this is Paranormal Activity 101, yes?" Alaric waited a minute just to make sure anybody who had came into the wrong class had a chance to make a swift exit. "Okay, good. I'm Alaric Saltzman, but please, call me either Ric or Mr. Saltzman. Nobody calls me Alaric."

( And the rest goes under a cut )
