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."

"He's a bit headstrong for that," she replied. "Takes after his dad."

"Then his destiny might be just as unpleasant," Vader replied.

"I couldn't save Anakin," Rory said, and even if Aeryn had said it was a good idea, she was trying very hard not to cry. It wasn't exactly working, though. "I'm not letting you kill his son."

Vader had no idea what to do with tears.

Inwardly, he was flailing.

The mask was very helpful--nothing of his inner turmoil showed on the outside.

"Then I suggest telling him to be less like his father," Vader snapped, voice laced with scorn.

"I'd sooner let you kill me than do that," she snapped back, not trying to hide the tears now.

Vader stared at her for a long moment. "I won't kill you," he said finally. He pointed towards the door. "Don't give me a reason to change my mind."

"Stay away from Luke," Rory said, running her thumbs under her eyes and heading towards the door.
