Baby's First Fieldwork [Tuesday, Period 3]

[jedigrammarians]

Hey, Aphra was there at the front of class today, surprise. And class was also meeting at the Danger Shop, double surprise.

"So I was feeling nostalgic and decided to show you somewhere I always planned to do a dig when I was your age." Also she'd forgotten to organise an actual trip because she'd been tiny. Or dull of regrets about being tiny and awkward around cute girls. "It never actually panned out, because it went from being inadvisable to visit to interdicted to really, ridiculously off-limits, only the very bravest and daring and, okay, kind of dumb, need try." Not that she hadn't ended up going, just it had been less of a dig, than a grab what you can now, work out the value later.

Aphra pushed a control and not at all ominouslandscape sprang into being. "Welcome to Malachor, scenic, isn't it?" She paused to let anyone who might have a bad feeling about this get it out of their systems. "Anyway, best we can tell, a couple of thousands years ago, the Jedi and the Sith had one of their big dust-ups here, there may have been some Mandalorians involved too, it's one of those situations where there weren't really a lt of eyewitness accounts after, and it all ended about as well as you'd expect from that tidbit about the lack of witnesses.

"Pretty cool, right?"

Library, Wednesday

Jenkins' class yesterday had definitely caught Peridot's attention. Sure, the reptile had been interesting, but the extinction event was what had really given her reason to hunker in and want to learn more. How many of these events had Earth been through? Was it likely to happen again? If it was liable to be the Cluster all over again but from the outside instead of within, should she start making plans to retreat from the world and set up a home base elsewhere?

... Was there an elsewhere?

There was a small mountain of books on her desk on the topic, but a small mountain was more than enough to obscure a furiously studying Gem from sight entirely.

Summer Games [Wednesday]

[sith_happened]

A fully grown Anakin Skywalker was back in his normal spot in the park, megaphone in hand. In addition to the normal bleachers, the park had a number of tables set out with an inordinate amount of craft sticks and hot glue guns.

More worryingly, there was a giant bullseye spray-painted onto the grass.

"Welcome back!" Anakin said, absolutely blustering past the part where last week he'd been 17 years old with a deeply regrettable haircut. "Today you will be building catapults out of craft sticks and glue! It must be capable of propelling a meter tall object towards that bullseye--" he pointed to the grass helpfully. "Whichever team comes closest to hitting the buillseye gets to keep the fish for the week. Do not tank on purpose just because you don't want the fish!"

He glared at everyone to make his displeasure known about that. "You have an hour and a half to work on and complete your design! Please listen for your name to know which group you belong to! Group One: Peter, Norman, Kitty, and Paris. Group Two: Hannibal, Liam, Astrid, and Kanan. Group Three: Sabine, Rosa, Jono, and Tip. Group Four: Zack, Ahsoka, Cristina, and Verity. Group Five: Steve, Bobby, Cara, and Miguel. Group Six: Sidon, Hera, Rey, Amaya, and Uma."

[OOC: EDITED TO ADD: There are also rubber bands, rope, buckets, cloth, macrame gremlin ensembles, and other moddable stuff hiding under the tables. I totally remembered. Really. Cough.]
