Friendship is Magic!, Tuesday, January 14, 2025

[sith_happened]

"Since some of you mentioned being friendless and alone last week--" Not one of them had put it like that, Anakin, "--we've decided to facilitate you making friends here in this class!"

"And we thought we'd take a cue from one of the island traditions." Ahsoka had what looked suspiciously like a seating chart. A seating chart that someone had put a lightsaber through. Several times.

"Three Minute Dates," Anakin agreed. "But this time you don't have Tino to blame. In case you don't know how to start with small talk, I have prepared three talking points: 'My favorite color is,' 'I hate the winter because,' and 'Anakin Skywalker is the best teacher for this reason.'"

He beamed at Ahsoka. "It's helpful!" It wasn't.

Ahsoka cheerfully did not offer an opinion on Anakin's helpfulness or lack thereof. "We'll be doing things a bit more free-form." Seating chart. Lightsaber burns. Organising this had seemed a lot simpler when they'd come up with this idea. "More three minute mingling, talk with someone, when the chime sounds, find someone new. If you find yourself gravitating towards certain people, that's probably a sign."

Anakin nodded like he had the first idea what it would be a sign of. "Let's get started."

And that was why Ahsoka had more friends than you, Anakin.

Listen to the lecture!

[sith_happened]

Friendless and alone, huh.

Make friends!

[sith_happened]

Five pings a piece, give or take! Make friends! Bond over Anakin's amazing skills! Talk to the teachers!

Anakin Skywalker

Re: Anakin Skywalker

[sith_happened]

Anakin tried to look approachable, but he tended to have resting "go far away from here, NOW," face, so it might not be working.

Ahsoka Tano

Re: Ahsoka Tano

[snipsnspecks]

Ahsoka looked generally serene, and not at all like she wasn't entirely sure how she and Anakin had ended up mingling as well.

Belle was always happy to converse with others. Particularly about books!

Oh, you know Graham was stoked about this! He might even be taking a moment to try to triangulate the best plan for making the most friends (or at least talking to everyone)!

[wildgalegirl]

Charlie was always happy to make new friends, so come see her!

Gray

Re: Gray

[napking]

Gray would love to make new friends!

Assuming he didn't fall asleep...but maybe that wouldn't happen? He could hope.

Re: Jonathan Sims

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Jon...had no idea how to make friends. Mostly people just adopted him whether he wanted it or not.

So he was sitting awkwardly and fidgeting.

Rey Skywalker

Re: Rey Skywalker

[thatwaslucky]

Rey didn't mind Three Minute Dates! ...when she signed up for it. Mostly she was looking a little awkward right now.
