Room 313, Thursday evening

[solo_sword]

Jaina had spent a good part of her time after classes either in the junkyard, collecting parts, or in the garage, adding them to the hoverboard, which still wasn't entirely at the hovering stage yet. Maybe she wasn't as up on how repulsors worked as she thought she was. Which was why she was trying to call Anakin (the brother, not the grandfather), but she still wasn't getting an answer.

"Next time I go to a strange planet, I'm making sure it's in a decent time zone," she muttered.


[Door's open, as is post. I demand entertainment. And maybe a song and dance.]

"Anakin. The younger younger one. I'm currently failing at hoverboards, so I'm hoping to talk him into sending me a part," she admitted. Look, time went faster there. It could get to her tomorrow for all she knew. "Which class?"

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"What's a hoverboard?" She was more than happy to listen to the details, even if she didn't understand what Jaina was talking about. "Um, communication, ironically."

[solo_sword]

"It's exactly that, a board that you can stand on or ride while it's hovering in the air. Vi put the idea in my head while she was here, but I can't get the main components working correctly because I've never actually taken them apart to see how they worked before," Jaina explained.

"And that's either the best or worst-taught class I've ever heard of. I reserve judgment."

"Have you taken them apart now?" With all the parts scattered around, it was sometimes difficult to tell. "I'll keep you posted. Is everything all right with your brother, I hope?"

[solo_sword]

"Not yet. Working on it. And I think he's fine," she said. Her connection to Anakin wasn't nearly as strong as it was to Jacen, but she liked to think that even at this distance she would know if something happened to him. "He's probably just training, or en route somewhere. Or he's like little brothers everywhere and left his comlink somewhere."

She shrugged. "So are you done with classes for the week? What'd you think so far?"

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"I don't know about little brothers, but I'll take your word for it." She set the books on her desk, then curled up on the bed.

"They're good so far. I think Lulu really knows what she's talking about, though I almost wish I wasn't taking her class with Gavin. What about yours?"

[solo_sword]

"Interesting. I got to shoot at monsters in one, which was a plus," she said. And also she was learning about Ethics from a former genocidal Sith, which was a whole other topic. "Lulu... Was she the one who taught, uh..." She'd only seen it in the course description, but by her facial expression it should be pretty clear that Jaina was right on which class it was.

"There's a class on shooting monsters?" Inara looked intrigued by that, if not particularly eager to take it herself. "And yes, she was. I took one over the summer with Professor Bluth, but his methods and information were too misinformed for me."

[solo_sword]

"Advanced Tactics. We got to suit up and go shooting simulated creatures. Good practice for Fandom," Jaina said. "And okay, call me naive? But shouldn't Sex Ed be one subject where the teacher is definitely informed?"

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"Yes, thank you!" Inara threw her hands up in the air, "Because a misinformed and deluded student body does no one any good! Students could end up hurting each other, and making bad choices, or even making children, because he was just so wrong!"

[solo_sword]

"They really should start screening teachers," Jaina said, shaking her head. "Maybe he was an experiment in finding out how much the students actually knew. If I think of it that way, I might be able to live with the idea that he feels qualified to teach that."

She put her head in her hands. "I don't think I've heard less intelligent or immature discourse on any subject. He actually had us soliciting prostitutes."

[solo_sword]

Jaina stared at her. "He what? In school?"

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"They were holograms, but the principle's the same," she grumped. "Not that there's anything wrong with prostitution, but there's a way to go about it so everyone still has their dignity."

[solo_sword]

Well, she wasn't going to say anything, but. "Nothing like setting a bunch of awkward teenagers who might not know how to even talk to each other on holograms with the intent to hook up in exchange for payment. Wow. I just... wow."

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"It was a disgrace," she said firmly. "So far this class doesn't seem like that."

[solo_sword]

"Good," Jaina said. "Maybe people will learn something besides how much they can hit their head into the wall before they regret it later."

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"That would be nice."
