Hubris from Revelation: the Social Engineering of Ultimate Truths [Monday, Period 2]

[atreideslioness]

Ghanima had had a sense of tingling unease all weekend, like something was scratching behind her eyes, wanting to be seen. A tingling she had pointedly ignored, which had only served to make it so bad, she had taken to bed and not gotten any of the prep for today's class finished.

She wanted no part of the prescience of her brother or father, thank you.

"We're watching a movie today," she said as everyone came in. "There's a handout right over there, and we'll actually discuss Hinduism as a religion next week."

[OCD up!]

I certainly think so, Ben said. Doing anything exciting this week?

Nothing that comes to mind outside of lightsaber practice and reserves, she answered. Unless some other food decides to come to life this week.

Although she hoped not.

Want to see a holo--movie--that doesn't have Face in it? he asked.

Tahiri absolutely beamed at him. Is Kashyyyk covered in trees?

Ben flinched. Sort of?

[weetuskenraider]

Even Tahiri's mental voice swore in Tusken. Stang. I -- sorry, Ben.

Not your fault, he said, waving his hand in a placating gesture. I shouldn't have burned them down.

But you -- For someone so quick to crack a joke, she could occasionally be slow to pick up on them. Well, you'll be more careful next time, won't you? Fine. I can just say yes for once.

He flashed her a smile. It's a date, then.

You know, this is getting to be a habit, Tahiri teased. Sounds good to me.

Re: Watch the Movie

Thursday? he suggested.

Re: Watch the Movie

[weetuskenraider]

I can safely say my schedule is clear that day, she replied after pretending to consider this very intensely.

[momslilassassin]

He beamed at her. Good.
