"Of course, now that we've evicted that elephant." I reached over and hugged her a little. "Thank God it's over."

She returned the hug. "Exactly, and with the hunters gone all of us can move on with our lives."

"Get with your partners and get started. You have half an hour." The psychology teacher clapped her hands and went back to grading while students moved around the lecture hall to find their partners. Tassek had found himself with that goth girl who'd talked to him in the library. The one with the vampire friend. Greeeeaat. He sighed a little and flipped through the assignment sheet, looking over the requirements.

Ah yes, the dreaded group assignments. Something she always hated in high school, now college did it as well. She drummed her painted black nails against the paper, reading over it. "So, how has the search been going?" She asked, reading over the first question.

Oh, right. That. "A friend found out where they were and told us. We got them home a few days before Christmas."

"That's wonderful. They were like little Christmas presents then." She paused. "First one is psychosis." She wrote it down.

"Yeah, sure. If Christmas presents tried jumping you." He copied down the answer and then looked at the next one. Well, that looked familiar. "Next one's depression."

"Guess it was a surprise present then." She looked at the next one. "Next one is...Bipolar disorder II, since it focuses more on the depression."

"Those are supposed to be fun. ADHD."

2015-07-16 23:12:10

●

"Mmmm, well I'm sure getting them back was fun. Narcolepsy."

2015-07-16 23:12:54

🌀

"Sort of. Come on, that one's just obvious."

2015-07-16 23:14:23

●

She smiled. "Only if you can recognize the symptoms quickly, you'd be surprised."

2015-07-16 23:16:59

🌀

"Does the public see narcoleptics and think they're just lazy? I'm starting a campaign for this. Narcoleptic awareness day."

2015-07-16 23:19:05

"Why, do you know someone who has it?"

2015-07-16 23:19:57

🌀

"You could say that." It was a pain to talk about if he didn't have to, and he wasn't in the mood right now.

2015-07-16 23:22:01

●

"Wonderful. Make sure they don't pass out in traffic. Next one is paranoid schizophrenic."

2015-07-16 23:22:50

🌀

Was that the stereotypical assumption? Why not while swimming, or eating, or javelin-throwing or something? They'd all end just as badly. "Anxiety."

2015-07-16 23:26:12

●

"Now /that/ one is an easy one. The fear of communicating gives it away easily."

2015-07-16 23:27:06

"That could apply to one or two others. Anyway, only a couple more left, then the poster." They had to make a poster on one of the disorders when they were done.

●

"Mhmm, and I'm a wonderful artist, so I'll do the drawing. Insomnia."

2015-07-16 23:31:11

🌀

"We'll see about that. Stockholm Syndrome."

2015-07-16 23:36:20

●

"What, can you do better? Cyclothemia."

2015-07-16 23:37:25

🌀

"I don't know. Maybe. Which one for the poster?" That was the last question. He got up to go get the paper they'd need.

2015-07-16 23:38:02

●

"Hmm...." She looked at the list of disorders they could choose from. Once she came back she pointed to it with her pencil. "Lets do this one." Psychopathy.

"Alright. Show me your supposed skills, then." He handed her a couple of markers and used another to write the title and information.
