Trooper Station; Monday [10/21].

[died8yearsago]

Okay, the whole candy corn rain on Saturday had been cute if it was the island trying to work itself up into a Halloween mood like it did for Christmas, but this whole fake blood coffee thing (real blood did not look like that!) was crossing a line. You just didn't mess with people's coffee; this was almost as bad as the whole thing with pumpkin spice and the Perk. At least Rosa could still caffeinate with some hot leaf water, but come on. Everyone knew that hot leaf water couldn't even begin to compare to coffee...

Thankfully, the troopers were providing an interesting enough distraction for Rosa, which came with an interesting revelation. Because, despite the current state of the coffee, they continued to actually brew themselves pots of it, and pour themselves mugs, carrying them around as they went about their business. She was a little astonished that they could still drink that stuff when it was basically just corn syrup (although, really, was that any worse than what came out of the pot when Ralph made it?), until she realized....they never actually drank it. She realized, in that moment, that she'd always watched them make coffee, pour themselves cups, walk around with those cups and keep them on their desks, but they never actually drank it. After all, how could they, with those helmets on? They just went through the motions, as if they only did it because they were expect to, like it was just another part of the job.

If anything, her fascination with this revelation and going back and trying to think of other weird 'just pretending to be normal' behaviors that the troopers exhibited provided a good distraction for the fact that every sip she took from her mug of hot leaf water was just filled with disappointment and resentment.

The Park, Monday Afternoon

[uncertain_dume]

No, it wasn't Friday. But the weather today was nice enough out; no rain, only a bit of a chill in the air, and enough of a workout would make that chill perfectly welcome. Kanan had made arrangements with Rey to head out to do some more training, and so he'd packed up a couple of the bamboo training swords, his ever-present disassembled lightsaber, and, a new addition to the training regime today, his holocron, and had set off to the park.

By the time she'd be arriving, he wasn't doing any fancy flips or anything, no. He was mostly just turning the ornate, softball-sized cube over in his hands, contemplating it without actually opening it. His Master had given it to him once so that he could better understand the role of questions within the Order. Now there was no Order, and he was left questioning his understanding of the role he had without.

But, he supposed, the least he could do with what little he had was teach it.

Community Center Class: Modern Earth Entertainment, Monday

Peter was standing up front this weekend a bit exasperated.

"Sorry, guys. This is one of those weeks that we're watching whatever the player wants to show us, apparently. I'm not sure if it's the squirrels or the gremlins or just the DVD thing itself this time, but I guess it missed some of you. So - enjoy?"

He pressed play.
