Basic Weaponry; Tuesday, First Period [03/14].

[special_rabbit]

"Morning, everyone!" Amaya greeted the class with her usual eager grin. "So far in this class, we've talked about some of the more sophisticated of the basic weapons that have proven worthy through the test of time and improved on various technology through the ages, but today, we're going to step back a little and explore a more basic weapons....as the title of the class might suggest we would!...that you don't really see as much of today, but really, that just goes to show how diverse weapons can be, and that you don't even need a whole lot of fancy metal and steel to have a good effective weapon! Don't get me wrong! Sometimes, nothing's going to beat a solid sword or axe, and I'm not just saying that because my career depends on it! But that's the beauty of weapons, really. You have choices. And today, with that in mind, we're going to be be talking about the atlatl!"

And this was when Rosa stepped aside to gesture at the table that was behind her, with several atlatl's waiting to be used, with the world's most unenthusiastic "Ta-dah."

Look, wasn't it enough that she'd even let Blackstone convince her to keep up with the 'ta-dah' in the presentation in the first place for this lesson?

( Yeet them Spears! )

How exactly did a early modern 21st century former Brooklyn cop learn to be so good with an ancient hunting tool that was actually illegal to use in several countries? That was a good question. No, she would not be answering it.

"And that," Amaya concluded, "is that. Now it's your turn. If you have any technical questions, feel free to ask them, otherwise, head on over to the training ground, grab your weapons, and give it a try!"

Topics in Jedi Philosophy, Tuesday

Lana greeted the students when they arrived, then settled back to begin. "We've been talking about the Jedi as a whole, but I shouldn't leave you with the view that they're a monolith. Different Jedi have different views, of course, but different temples have different views and policies, too. The Green Jedi of Corellia are adamant about their attachment to their home planet, for instance, and we've discussed what the Jedi in general think of attachment. They also encourage marriage and raise their own children to some extent.

"Even within the more mainstream Jedi, some temples will refuse to admit anyone over a certain age, usually about five or ten, whereas others will teach anyone no matter how late they come."

She smiled. "There are even different versions of the Jedi Code, though perhaps we'll leave that for a class of its own. For now, let's discuss to what extent having a central authority - in this case, the Jedi Council - is beneficial to maintaining conformity, and to what extent letting separate groups govern themselves is preferable."

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

Today we have dubious archaeology and daddy issues, " Aphra announced to the class. "Which I'm sure all of us can relate to!"

Right? Right?
