Topics in Sith Philosophy, Friday
Class today had been advised to meet in the Danger Shop and wear sturdy clothing. When they arrived and walked in, they would find themselves on a wide plasteel porch beyond which was a garden. The plants in it probably looked a little odd to Earth-born students, but some were clearly planted in rows, while others grew wild. The scene was overcast.
"Today I thought we'd engage in a popular Sith pastime," Lana said. "Gardening. Some people are surprised to find how engaging Sith find this practice, but honestly, it involves destroying weeds and pests, wrestling your plants under control, and getting things to look precisely how you want them."
She had a feeling Nell might object to the Sith approach to gardening. She hadn't even bothered to ask if they could help with her greenhouse.
"It also, at least on Dromund Kaas, involves actively fighting the planet itself." She gestured past the garden to the jungle around them. "Occasionally literally. Gardening on the Sith homeworld is an act of defiance. I haven't programmed any hostile wildlife in today, though. If you'd like it, let me know. I also haven't programmed in the incessant rain and lightning. You're welcome."
She opened a crate at the edge of the porch. "We've got tools here, and holos of the plants you want to keep and the beneficial insects. Anything else, get rid of. If a plant has bad leaves or sections, prune it. Let's see how much of our aggression we can channel productively, and how much of an insight this gives you into Sith philosophy."
