Philosophies of Good & Evil, Tuesday
At the front of the class stood two figures. A man, hair short and dark, who looked to be somewhere between his mid 20s and his early 30s; he wore a black leather jacket and a Metallica t-shirt, and he eyed the class with a sense of bored disaffection. Beside him stood a blonde woman that could be anywhere from mid-30s to 40s, dressed in a green, tunic-length blouse and loose grey trousers, and smiling pleasantly.
Go on, class. Play ‘who’s the Sith and who’s the Jedi’. We dare you. (The woman's yellow eyes might give it away. If you were clued in to that sort of thing.)
“Hi,” Atton drawled. “My name is Atton Rand, and I’m a goody two-shoes who likes long, brooding walks on the beach, answering questions with really annoying riddles, and pretending meditation is a personality trait. Or, well, technically I’m just a Jedi Master, but you’d be surprised how many overlaps that Venn diagram has.”
Lana rolled her eyes. "And I'm Lana Beniko, a Sith Lord, who obviously enjoys torturing and killing people for fun, cackling maniacally, and taking over the universe in my spare time. Oh, and very large shoulder pads."
“They’re fashionable,” Atton said. “Somewhere. On the surface of the sun?”
"Some Sith would be better jettisoned into a sun," Lana admitted. "But it does make for very open architecture."
“Sometimes I daydream about jettisoning specific Jedi Masters I won’t name into the sun,” Atton sighed. “Anyway, this is the introduction class, so congratulations, today you get to slack off. Give us the basics. Name, class, where you’re from, how used you are to this kind of nonsense, yadda yadda…”
"And just for fun, define good and evil for us," Lana said. "In your own terms, but briefly." Look, she had to be a little evil.
“Like I said,” Atton said, faux-brightly. “Slack off, handle the softballs.”
