Library [10.21]

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Knowing that this coming weekend was the 'Parent Weekend' nonsense had put Anemone in a strange mood, alternating between melencholy and spiteful. She had grabbed a poetry book from the shelves as a distraction, in a legitimate attempt to broaden her literary horizons. They were probably going to study it sometime in class, and she didn't want to feel like an idiot for not knowing any poems.

And voices are / In the wind’s singing / More distant and more solemn / Than a fading star.

Anemone tossed the book across the room with a snarl and stomped off in search of a decent comic book. Poetry was stupid.

The Fandom High Library was open, but beware of flung books.

Ethics [Tuesday, October 21, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin leaned a little uncomfortably against his desk as he waited for the students to take their seats.

"Today we talk about diligence, temperance, and forgiveness," he said quietly, "and we're going to use examples from last week's exercise to do so."

He flipped the hologram to life, focusing on a shot of Palpatine's face. "The goal was to save this man, the democratically chosen leader of your galaxy, at the cost--if necessary--of your own lives. After the first dozen or so droids shooting at you, you certainly had the option of retreating and leaving the mission for someone else to complete. So when does diligence turn to foolhardiness?"

The holocam switched to footage of two Jedi, blue blades flashing, taking on an older man wielding a red lightsaber. The battle was moving at least three times as fast as the exercise had. The older Jedi went ricocheting into a wall, then the second one, fire in his eyes, closed in on their opponent. A few moments later the Sith dropped to his knees with two lightsabers held to his throat.

The Jedi wielding the lightsabers looked an awful lot like their teacher.

"Temperance," Anakin said softly. "Do you kill him now? He's dangerous. He held the head of a galaxy-wide government hostage. He injured your partner. He certainly tried to kill you first. Or do you capture him and leave him to the whims of the courts?"

He shook his head. "Finally, forgiveness. You save the chancellor, at great personal expense, only to discover he's not the kind of man you thought he was. Your act of heroism has managed to make the situation at home much, much worse. How do you forgive yourself for it? Can you forgive the others who put you into that position?"

"Good afternoon, class," Jean-Paul said. "Take your seats and please be quiet; today is your midterm and I would hate to have to fail any of you." Well, actually he wouldn't, but. "Your task is simple: turn in to me by the end of this period a brief essay discussing a superpower you have or a superpower you would like to have, and the evidence for and against such a thing being possible beyond, 'Well, I can do it.' Begin."

Hunting 101 - Class 7 (Tuesday period 5)

When the students come in they saw a number of items laid out at the front of the room. Those who had some experience with such things would recognise a portable electrical crucible, as well as clamps and molds and what looks like some bars of silver. There were also several handouts for them to take laid out beside the sign in sheet.

"Today," John began where everyone was seated, "we're going to be moving away from ghosts and haunted objects into more solid supernatural things.( Specifically, today we're going to be looking at shapeshifters. )

Home Economics [Class 7] - Tuesday

"Today is our last day of cooking," Lulu began, "before we get into the other half of the class. I may revisit the topic later -- there is one specific cooking topic I wanted to cover that I've not yet done -- but for the most part, next week we'll be into clothing and textiles.

"Which means," Lulu said, "that today you have your midterm. You have all the materials you could possibly need, and various recipe books. Have at, and cook something. Anything. Your midterm grade will be dependant on both the complexity of the dish you decide to make, and how well it is executed."
