"Which is this?" Robert asked as they walked up to the door. "The science class?"

Cam shook her head and ushered her parents in ahead of her. "No, it's that really long name one. Mythical hilariousness or something."

Janice hadn't noticed yet. "Damn dragon!" she was busy yelling. "I don't have any magic points left to heal myself now!"

"Dear, it's the crazy one." Maria said quietly, placing a hand on her husband's arm. "Maybe we shouldn't talk to her."

The last member of Janice's party, who had 53 hit points left, got hit with a seventh-level fire spell for 1064 points of damage and died in a brilliant conflagration.

"Oh, for pete's sake!" she exclaimed, tossing the controller into the air in disgust and spinning around in her chair.

Just in time to catch sight of the visitors, naturally. "Yeah, whaddya -- can I help you?"

"Are you the teacher for..." Maria looked down at the schedule in her hands. "Myth...class?"

drjcovington October 21 2006, 21:18:38 UTC

Janice nodded briefly. "That'd be me. You got a kid in the class?"

brootsfamily October 21 2006, 21:36:44 UTC

"Yes, our son Jack Broots." Robert said, looking down over his glasses at her. "You might have him listed as JC."

"Ah, Broots." Janice definitely remembered his short story about being a super-spy, and hid a grin behind her hand. "Yeah, he's in the class. He's . . . got an interesting imagination."

brootsfamily October 21 2006, 22:35:36 UTC

"Imagination?" Maria repeated. "Is that a good thing in your class?"

drjcovington October 21 2006, 22:45:48 UTC

Janice nodded firmly. "Imagination's a sign of a more open mind. And this class is all about looking at what we know as myth in a different way."

"This is probably where he got the idea to like boys." Robert muttered and Maria shushed him, asking another question.

"Broots seems to enjoy this class, but I'm not sure I understand what you do here."

Janice did catch Robert's comment, but if the Playstation wasn't enough of an indication that she'd adapted pretty well to the twenty-first century her lack of (obvious, anyway) reaction was.

"What's not to understand?"

brootsfamily October 21 2006, 23:29:37 UTC

"Myth into history into..." Maria trailed off. "Are you a history class or a mythology class? What do you teach my son?"

drjcovington October 21 2006, 23:55:07 UTC

"History, mythology . . ." Janice shrugged. "They're intertwined, really."

brootsfamily October 22 2006, 00:03:26 UTC

"Do you smoke in class?" Robert asked, not really caring about mythology or history. "Cigar smoke could put some hair on Jack's chest."

drjcovington October 22 2006, 00:09:47 UTC

Janice stared at him, then before she could help it, looked down at her own chest.

". . . I've never had that problem."
