Ethics (September 14, 6th period)

[sith_happened]

If the classroom looked a bit like a discount Swedish furniture store had exploded inside of it, well...at least the projectiles were now easily replaceable.

Which might be a good thing.

Precisely on time, Darth Vader swept into the room and slammed the door firmly behind him.

"Today we talk about lying," he said, his masked face scanning the faces in front of him as he prowled around the classroom.

"Everyone lies," he stated flatly. "To hide things, to manipulate others, to avoid...unpleasantness." There was a definite hint of scorn in his voice at that last example. "In class today, you are required to pair up and only tell the truth." His cape whirled behind him. "And I can tell if you are not. Such disobedience will result in detention."

He paused for a moment. "And I don't believe in that axiom where if you cannot say something nice, you don't say anything at all. I do not require you to be nice. I require you to be honest."

He crossed his arms over his chest. "Name. Place of birth. Classes you are taking," he barked out. "Proceed from there."

During the lecture

[sith_happened]

Not that it was terribly long, but there's always time for death glares and freaking out in Vader's class.

Alanna sat absolutely still during that lecture, her violet eyes simply following Vader. At some point, a small black head popped out her bag blinked at Vader, and fell back into the bag.

Lying, truth. He could do this. There would be no flailing. Bel paid attention to the lecture, but didn't really take any notes.

Isabel knew all about lying. She kept her face impassive as she listened to the lecture.

Ok, after having class with Doctor Crazypants and her quills of doom, was just as freaked out about having class with a cylon as she was last week. VERY.

John focused on the lecture, trying not to fry his brain on a freakin' cyborg talking about honesty.

Class exercise!

[sith_happened]

Pick a partner, tell the truth.

He doesn't care if you get into an argument, but if it starts getting violent, detentions all around.

Alanna sat, waiting for a partner. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest and she didn't appear to be in the best of moods. Her bag...was randomly moving on its own.

Rory sat with her arms crossed, looking very, very approachable for any potential partners.

Except not really, but it's hard for Rory Gilmore to look unapproachable, even when she's clearly not at her best.

Re: Class exercise!

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely looked around for a partner.

Krycek waited for someone to approach him, not looking at all bothered despite the tension in class.

Sam sat down and waited for a partner. Hopefully this wouldn't be too painful--she was basically an honest person.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel had a bad feeling about this assignment. He drummed his fingers on his desk and looked around for a partner.

Re: Class exercise!

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler was not looking forward to this one.

He wondered if Tyler being on his Student ID made it his real name for Vader's purposes.

Re: Class exercise!

[stykera]

Stark looked around for a partner. Telling the truth wasn't going to be that difficult, right?

Re: Class exercise!

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John looked around. If everyone else had already partnered up, does that mean he gets to work with the professor?

Talk to Vader after class

[sith_happened]

Because you're insane or something...

"Excuse me? Your lordshipness?" Jamie said approaching the dark lord in a very polite manner. "I wanted to apologize for the whole Klondike bar thing last week. Apparently there are some people in the world who do not want a Klondike bar."

Jamie didn't really believe that but hey...

"Anyhow, in order to get us back on the right foot I got you something."

Jamie holds out an asthma inhaler.

OOC

[sith_happened]

Obligatory OOC comment: If you smart off to Vader, he'll chuck you in detention. And while he can tell if you're lying, I'm not that good. If you want to get caught in a lie, please mention it in your narrative.

He's also going to be shamelessly eavesdropping on all of your conversations.

Have fun!

Re: OOC

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Lalalala! Detention is my friend!

Re: OOC

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

I take it back. If you wanna give her detention, go for it. I'll...work it out.

Re: OOC

[demonbelthazor]

I'm going to be afk for part of Saturday, but feel free to chuck Bel in detention if he deserves it. ;)

I'll get D clued-in to the "Zomg, nottacylon-sith, SIIIIIITH!" soon. I had planned to have it happen last weekend but that didn't quite work.
