Extraterrestrial Civilizations - Class 4 [1/31, Period 4]

[stargazer-ellie.livejournal.com]

This afternoon found Ellie's desk surrounded by half a dozen stocky teddy-bear like creatures, poking at everything they could get their hands on. Ellie snatched a calculator away from one, giving him a warning look, and addressed the class. "Today's guests are Ewoks from the moon of Endor. They don't speak our language, but fortunagely they have a protocol droid with them to translate." She gestured to the silvery humanoid robot who now moved forward.

"Please give the Ewoks your attention," Ellie continued. "And remember, they may look cuddly, but they're not mere teddy bears."

Guest Speaker Ewoks [1/31]

The Ewoks chittered, the protocol droid translated. They spoke of living high among the trees of Endor's forests, in villages built between the trees. They hunt and trap on the forest floor. They use spears and slings as weapons and have not progressed past stone-age technology, but they claim to be quick learners.

Ewoks have a tribal culture, with a Council of Elders ruling over them, and the Council, in turn, headed by the Chief. A medicine man also lives in the Ewok village, a healer and a keeper of mystical lore.

The Ewoks awaited questions.

Chad mostly stared for a good, long time. He seemed to be unable to decide if these things were incredibly cute or possibly absolutely repulsive. It was like they were made with the intent of being cute, but had evil marked on their faces. What did you ask essentially evil teddy bears that could potentially gnaw your calves because it wasn't like you could reach them?

One of the Ewoks wandered over to Chad and poked him with his stick.

Lana couldn't help feeling a little, "Aw, so cute," about the ewoks. She tried not to let it show too much, though she was sure she had a s big smile on her face.

An Ewok wandered over and started examining Lana's clothes.

"What sort of mystical lore?" Stark asked about the medicine man. He was just very curious as to what sort of mystical things fuzzy little bears thought about.

An Ewok (translated by the droid) began excitedly chittering about soul trees, the Great Spirit of the Forest, the Light Spirit, the Night Spirit, and Brother Sky.

Carmela, predictably, thinks the Ewoks are cute.

Of course, Carmela thinks talking trees and eyed-eyed, ten-legged giant bugs are cute.

One of the Ewoks climbed up on a desk next to Carmela's and started playing with her hair.

Summer couldn't help staring at the Ewoks. They were so cute. She figured she probably shouldn't say that out loud.

Re: Guest Speaker Ewoks [1/31]

One of the Ewoks looked Summer over and tried to take her hand to lead her away with him, chittering excitedly.

Rory didn't squee.

Except she did make a little high-pitched squeaking sound for just a second.

"I have a tiny stuffed toy Ewok," Rory said to no one in particular. "His name is George. You all really are just like I've heard."

Re: Guest Speaker Ewoks [1/31]

An Ewok chittered at Rory as it began trying to go through her belongings, looking for anything interesting.

Cameron stared at the Ewoks for a moment before he remembered he was supposed to ask questions. "You really live in the trees?"

Kyo simply stared at the Ewoks. He was much too preoccupied trying to figure out if they would be as tempermental as Kagura to try and frame a question.

Naomi smiled at the Ewoks, she thought they were very cute but she didn't say that outloud, "what are some of your traditions?" she asked.

Re: Guest Speaker Ewoks [1/31]

[multiplez]

Z stared at the Ewoks. Like Chad, she couldn't decide if they were terrifying or cute. "Um," she said. "What is your justice system like?"
