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!

A whole other world, though! "What's a mall? What's fro-yo?" And, "what do you mean by 'normal'?"

Troy shrugged a little. "I don't know," he said. "I guess that there's really nothing special about Riverside, or even the greater Greendale area, except that we've got two community colleges when, really, do you even need one? And fro-yo is frozen yogurt. It's not really that good? But it's popular." So naturally he felt inclined to like it. "And a mall is, like...a big building with a lot of shops in it, but I don't think a whole lot of people actually go there to shop, just to sort of hang out for a while?"

And he wasn't really surprised to hear that Wei Wuxian might be from somewhere that didn't even have a mall, but there was still a little sympathy in his expression for it.

"A marketplace indoors? That's a clever idea! You could shop inside away from the rain and the sun," Wei Wuxian said. "What's a community college?"

"It's..." Troy took a moment to consider the best way to describe it. "...like a regular college, but worse? And more...community-y? I'll probably end up going to one, since I probably lost out on my football scholarship with that keg flip." Here, he shook his head, to make sure to convey the proper amount of sadness for such an ill-fated tragedy. "Definitely Greendale over City College, though. Greendale has that commercial with the student who gives a thumbs up in a cool way."

Which, of course, meant Troy would have to demonstrate that cool way, cheesy grin and all, for Wei Wuxian, and then he'd totally get it, too.
