Hyrule History and Legends!; Friday, Second Period [12/02].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Although it was certainly not intentional, Sidon found his headfins draped in tinsel that day, merely from his head being close enough to the ceiling more often than not that they just naturally caught on the stuff draped from above, and they clung. But he hoped it at least looked quite festive and fetching, and maybe he'd even leave his newfound shiny drapery for the party later.

But, for now, there was a lesson to be had, a lesson about a certain sword, of which there was a (very poorly done) drawing of on the board that day.

"Hello, my eager little Hylian historians!" he greeted brightly from the front of the class, the tinsel itself seeming to gleam from the radiance of his smile. "Today, we talk about something briefly mentioned in last week's class, the weapon of the great Hero, the mysterious, the powerful Sword that Seals the Darkness!"

( Just call it the Master Sword, GOD. )

"Now!" Beaming thanks to the rousing encouragement of his own words, Sidon clapped his hands together and opened his armed eagerly toward the class. "Let us hear your thoughts! What do you think of the legend of the Sword that Seals the Darkness? Are there tales of such mythical and powerful weapons in your own cultures? Let's share them, and perhaps ruminated on what makes legendary weapons so appealing and effective as stories and legends and whether or not there is any truth behind them."

Topics in Sith Philosophy, Friday

Lana greeted the class calmly, despite the tinsel caught in her hair. Even the Force hadn't been able to get it all out.

"Today I thought we'd talk about something a little different," she began. "For the most part, I've been presenting aspects of Sith philosophy to you that might be positive or negative, or have aspects of both, and I've been doing my best not to be judgmental. Today I would like to present to you an aspect of Sith beliefs that, while it follows logically from the basics of the philosophy, is absolutely not to be followed."

She crossed her arms. "The belief that the strong should lead is admirable, although the meaning of that strength is debatable. However, what it has led to in the Sith Empire, and what is only recently being changed, is the belief that only Sith are strong, only Sith deserve to rule. Practically, this has led to non-Force users largely being relegated to second place, and non-human and non-Sith species being treated as lesser beings. So, what we should discuss, rather than debating if this is a good thing, is how this may have come about, how to work through it as a culture to learn better, and if you see any aspects of this in your own cultures and how you can work through them."

She paused. "Preferably not by attempting a violent coup." Malgus.

Library - Friday

[onlyajones]

Jo was rather distracted as she turned up for her library shift, there was tinsel in her hair and no matter how hard she tried to get it off, it was still there.

Eventually she stopped for a while and then started to focus on reshelving and tidying up, she didn’t have a whole lot of books to reshelve so once that was done, she sat down at the front desk and tried to stop touching the tinsel but found that it was rather difficult to ignore it now that she had finished her general work that morning.
