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."

Class exercise!

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.

Jamie sat down next to Alanna. "So is this the part where I grill you?"

Re: Class exercise!

Alanna glared. "Alanna Trebond. Born in Trebond, Tortall. Mother died at 18 the same day my twin and I were born." Morbid? Who? Alanna? "I have no clue what classes I'm taking."

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.

Jack cautiously approached Rory and slipped into the seat next to her, smiling sympathetically. "Hey. Want to pair up for this?"

Re: Class exercise!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Rory said, offering a small smile in return. "Um...full name would be Lorelai Gilmore, but I obviously don't use it. I was born in Stars Hollow, Connecticut, and I'm taking Communications and Media Studies, Interstellar Relations, Literature, and Ethics, obviously. Which I actually think is the most ironic thing ever for this guy to be teaching. And now my player is scampering off to bed before she falls asleep on her keyboard omg."

Seely looked around for a partner.

Re: Class exercise!

[swerval_zero]

Zero sat down next to Seely and said, "Oi, mini-Angel. Y'wanna do this?"

Re: Class exercise!

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Seely grinned back. "Seely Booth. America. Ethics, Spying, Criminal Justice, Hunting, and War Theory."

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

Re: Class exercise!

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Excuse me," Gwynn said slightly haltingly. "I am in need of a partner?"

Re: Class exercise!

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Krycek nodded to her. "Sure." He turned in his seat to face her, smiling slightly. "Alex Krycek. I was born in New York City and I'm taking Applied Science, Constant Vigilance, and, obviously, Ethics."

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

Isabel came over and took a seat. "For some reason I'm suddenly very, very grateful to Rita Skeeter."

Re: Class exercise!

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam smiled at Isabel. "Do I want to know why?"

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

Re: Class exercise!

[can_be_more]

Having been very honest earlier in the week and not getting killed for it, Aeryn's pretty sure she can handle this one. "Want to get this over with?" she asks.

Re: Class exercise!

[demonbelthazor]

Bel nodded. "I can answer that honestly," he said. "Yes. So, uh, Belthazor, San Francisco, and Pop Culture, Hunting 101, Criminal Justice, Good Omens and Bad, and Ethics, of course. You?"

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!

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia sat down across from Tyler. She smiled shyly. "Hi there." She said then remembering to cross her arms over her chest.

Re: Class exercise!

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"Hi yourself," Tyler said, noting the crossed arms. "You want to start or should I?"

Re: Class exercise!

[stykera]

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

Re: Class exercise!

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth was calm and collected. Really. Not flailing at all at this assignement.

"Need a partner?" she offered casually.

Re: Class exercise!

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