Padme stood at the front of the classroom and waited until everyone was seated.

“Today is going to be a little bit easier on you. No homework and an extra bit of time for your papers. All this is on the condition that our speaker today gets your full and undivided attention.’

“I’d like you to meet Chancellor Palpatine (chancellor_bob) of the Galactic Republic. He has agreed to take time out of his busy schedule to talk to you about the role of head of state and answer any questions you may have. Chancellor?”

Chancellor Palpatine offered a warm smile to her and to the class that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “It is indeed a pleasure to be here.” He gazed over the classroom, his eyes resting on Skywalker a few moments longer then on the rest. “And such attendance even in light of the troubling times you are now experiencing. Let me assure you all: this will pass and you will find yourselves a stronger and more united community than before… I have foreseen it. Myself and your esteemed professor are in the middle of our own spot of dark times in the form of a civil war. To have so many divided and locked in such senseless violence… it breaks my heart. But I digress. I am here to talk about my coverjob.’

“Now, this is actually my first time talking to students, believe it or not. So perhaps the best way to start is opening the floor to questions.”

C'mon, old guy, boy like you, what do you think? Maybe I'll have to talk to him after class then. He sounds like he really knows his stuff and has a lot of insight to offer.

Eww. Eww. He's one of the best in the galaxy at what he does--he manages to keep more than 5,000 Senators pointing in a lot less than 5,000 different directions. I'm sure he'd be happy to speak with you.

OMG, you know he wants you. Of course he does.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

A galaxy of eww. He wants me for my mind, dammit. Lalalalalala.

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Of course he does. The brain is the primary sex organ after all. He wants to corrupt you. *sticks out her tongue*

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Lalalalalaa. Not listening. Nope.

Oh hell. He can read minds and subtext. I am so screwed.

Cookies for each Jedi with his bed short-sheeted?

This works. I'll even blood them. But if you want me to kill them... we need something more than candy. Girl can't be too easy.
