Heroing [Tuesday, period 2, class #2]

[is-my-penis.livejournal.com]

"Hello, class!" Captain Hammer bellowed as soon as everyone was seated. "Today, we're going to talk about sounding heroic. In order to strike true fear into your nemesis...es. Nemesiseses. Nemisi...." He shook his head. "Bad people you fight! In order to strike fear into their hearts, they need to hear you coming. Now, some people believe in 'battlecries.'"

Captain Hammer's use of airquotes didn't necessarily indicate any sarcasm. It more indicated that he didn't know how to use airquotes.

"Which are fine and good. I prefer to just speak loudly at every opportunity! Some heroes like to sing, and that's fine too. Other heroes like to...talk to their villains. And a lot of villains talk back." He shook his head. "They think they're 'witty.' Anyway, class! Your job today is to pair up and hold a heroic conversation! Do it loudly! Sing if you want! Use catch phrases! 'Banter!' Just be heroic while you talk to each other!"

Tahiri was, by the end of class, pretty convinced that the teacher wasn't using airquotes so much as he just had some kind of weird tic or nervous habit.

Okay, banter made sense to someone who'd grown up around Han Solo's kids.

But singing?

Sure, they'd had a Bith Jedi with them on the Myrkr mission (poor Ulaha), but she hadn't been along for that.

Tahiri had a sudden, vivid, but thankfully brief mental image of Tesar Sebatyne bursting into song mid-fight, and proceeded to bury her face in her arms on her desk to smother the inevitable giggle attack.

Ben glanced over at her, eyes sparkling.

Which probably wouldn't help with the giggle fit any.

Not. At. All.

Tahiri caught sight of Ben and actually did laugh out loud, then buried her face in her arms again, her shoulders shaking.
