School Assembly, Wednesday, September 15, 2020

[sith_happened]

The auditorium looked like a regular auditorium, the chairs were arranged in a normal way and Anakin was pretty sure that the chance of teddy bear maiming was extremely minimal this week! He climbed up onto the stage and strode to the rostrum. "Hello again, students, and welcome to our third week of extremely productive and life-enriching talks. This week's is brought to you by two of our esteemed business leaders from town--Beau Lionett & Yasha Nydoorin--and they are hear to discuss with you--"

He reached for the cue card the office had provided, "--Using Your Destructive Tendencies for Fun and Profit! Wait."

Too late, Anakin, here come the speakers now!

Wei Wuxian had a notebook and pen and was ready to learn. He'd just discovered retractable ballpoint pens, and he couldn't stop playing with his. Click-click. Click-click. Click-click.

"New pen?" Shuri asked.

Wei Wuxian grinned and held up the pen. "Yes! Isn't it great? It holds all the ink inside and you can close it so the tip's protected!" He clicked it again to demonstrate.

Shuri found his enthusiasm endearing. "They've been around for a bit where I'm from, but they are still pretty great," she said, then held up her tablet. "I prefer typing my notes."

"What's that?" he asked eagerly. "Is that like a phone? It's bigger than the other ones I've seen."

"Oh, it's much better than just a phone," Shuri said, beaming as she turned on its floating screen and let him borrow it. "I made it myself. It's a computer."

"You made it?" Color him impressed. He carefully turned it sideways to see if he could see how it worked. "How did you make it? What does a computer do?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[scoffs_at_tradition]

Shuri gave him a detailed explanation without--hopefully--overwhelming him with jargon. "And a computer does basically whatever you want it to!"

"Is it dangerous?" he asked.
