[OOC: Thanks to

bridge_carson for the random inspiration for this class. Low-impact and character-rich? Woo. Class Info Post.]

The Tick was sitting at his desk looking slightly tired. Lockheed wasn't in class today. It was probably going to be an easy discussion.

"Hello, class! Lockheed is not with us today. He had something else to take care of. Today, we're taking a slight detour in our discussion. Today, we're talking about your experiences."

"I know that we have a lot of people from different cultures here, so I thought it would be keen to talk a little about Justice in your original environment! Please share some information with the class about a Justice organization from your home. It can be a superhero team, the military police, your local sheriff's department, or even the occasional lone individual who tries to write the wrongs in the world. As long as they are for justice and, I suppose, according to my earlier statement, are organized, share that bit of you with us!"

"Your metaphor of the week is the shift key on a keyboard."

"For extra credit that is actually related to the lecture for once, please name your favorite Defender of Justice from your home!"

The shift key, like Justice, is something you rely on in your daily life without noticing that it's there. It's only when it's gone and everything runs together on the printed out copy of Society that you realize how much it affected you. Once the shift key is gone, it's only a matter of time until the Period of Equality and the Comma of Peace are gone as well.

And then? Chaos.

Anakin thought for a very long time before he wrote his extra credit assignment.

My favorite Defender of Justice is my Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The archives might be full of tales of heroic Jedi of the past, but ~~Obi-Wan~~ Master Kenobi will be one who will be remembered for generations. He is calm, he is patient, he is wise. He is already known as the Great Negotiator in some circles for his ability to get two sides to agree on issues that most beings would have given up as lost causes far sooner, and I have a feeling that this reputation will only grow with the increasing tensions back at home. He is the epitome of what it means to be a Jedi and to devote your life to the Force. I wish I could become half the Jedi Master Kenobi is.

Yeah, it's a little fawning. But it's Obi-Wan. Far away from home it's easy to overlook the parts of his Master's personality that drive him absolutely insane.
