Basic Weaponry; Tuesday, First Period [01/03].

[special_rabbit]

The class was back in that spacious outdoor training grounds with a certain medieval flair from the first class, with plenty of room for movement amongst the collection of practice dummies, as well as several racks of the Weapon Du Jour! gleaming in the bright fake sunlight, and the usual air of excitement that came from at least one of the teachers with regards to getting to explore another type of weapon yet again.

It shouldn't be hard to guess which one!

"Welcome back, everyone," Amaya started, giving the students a nod, a grin, and a small pump of her fist. "Last week, we went over daggers, and we're...expanding on that notion a little bit with a weapon that may seem similar in design and concept, but, when you get right down to it, is quite a bit different in how you use it. They're some of the most basic and ubiquitous of weapons, possibly the first thing that comes to a lot of people's minds when they think of weapons, ones that some might find a little archaic but never fails to do its job of slicing, dicing, poking and prodding, and that is the mighty sword."

( MUCH mightier than a pen! )

"Any questions before we begin?" Amaya nodded to the class again, lifted one fist to pound decisively into the palm of her other hand. "If not, then let's get started!"

Topics in Jedi Philosophy, Tuesday

[unusual_sith]

"Welcome back." Lana smiled and nodded. "Today is the second day of the Jedi code, since the first seemed to go well. 'There is no ignorance, there is knowledge'. This one generally has more agreed-upon interpretations than the last. Knowledge does away with ignorance, and is something to be sought after. While I am attempting to have you draw your own conclusions, and I encourage it, I must say this is my personal favourite line. I'm a fan of learning."

She was a nerd.

"First, do you agree with that interpretation, or do you have another? Then, do you agree with it? If so, how would you go about following it and embodying it? If not, make your case - how would you act or react in spite of this? Or would you simply ignore it?"

She nodded at them to begin.

Sexier Crime: the Show! [Tuesday, Fourth Period]

[good_for_six]

"Today we're going to be discussing an entire genre of sexy crime," Isabela excitedly told the class. "Film noir!"

"It's all about men tricked into doing incredibly dumb crimes by far more intelligent women." Because no one teaching this class had ever done anything illegal or ill advised in order to impress an attractive woman. Ever. "Of course then there's this whole blah blah reinforcing the accepted social order so then she usually dies and he gets remorseful and may also die. Which does take away from the whole sexy bit a little."

"But sometimes the sexy lady survives! Like intoday's movie, which honestly would be a lot shorter if the male leads had ever considered the benefits of a threesome."
