Ethics (Thursday, September 28, 6th period)

[sith_happened]

Vader swept into the room precisely on time, slamming the door hard enough to reverberate down the hallway. He dropped a box of cookies onto his desk.

"Today we talk about how a strict sense of right and wrong interferes in efficiency," he said, pacing the room and clearly intending to intimidate as many students as possible. "Employees who do not believe that there will be consequences for their incompetence become lazy, stupid, and easily replaceable."

Vader took the box of cookies from his desk and passed it around the room. "Each of you has a cookie," he said. "You will spend the rest of the class period using the tactics of fear, shame and guilt to get the other people in this classroom to give you their cookies." And yes, that word sounded incredibly strange coming from him. "Whoever has the most cookies at the end of the class will get to keep them."

He crossed his arms over his chest. "Are these tactics unethical? Does it matter if you get what you want?"

Collapsing, please.

Only in this thread, though. Vader won't care if you collapse anywhere else.

Eyerolling, comments about how cracked out Vader's ethics are, all go here.

Jack listened, eyeing off his cookie, wondering 1) if he ate his cookie, would people be more likely to give him theirs, and 2) if tactics other than fear, shame, and guilt were allowed. As the lecture continued, he quickly concluded that they weren't.

He was pretty much ignoring Vader's attempt at intimidation in favour of mentally bemoaning being cut off from his main skills.

Rory was poking at her cookie and seriously wondering if anyone should be eating them.

Aeryn's just a little disturbed at how easy could be. Okay, more than just a little. Also, she's wishing against the weapons ban for once as it's the only thing keeping her from carrying a gun at all times, and that woul be sure to get people to give her their cookies.

Seely ate his cookie.

Like to see someone get it now.

Jamie might rolling his eyes. It's tough to tell in the giant helmet he's wearing.

He is breathing heavily but it's doubtful he's that excited about the lecture.

John ate his cookie. Aw, crap. On the bad side, he probably didn't need the sugar. On the good side, he had a napkin wrapped with three more in his pocket.

Sam ignored her cookie, even though it was taunting her, and took a head count of how many people would need to eat for a hypothetical in-class picnic.

Gimme your cookies!

[sith_happened]

Guilt, shame, intimidate, steal...Vader doesn't care.

Asking politely might confuse him, though.

Rory sat with her cookie and waited patiently for someone to try and take it from her.

Re: Gimme your cookies!

Just try it. Seriously. Aeryn's all about the giving.

Jamie reaches into his backpack and pulls out a vase that he picked up at the Island of Ikea.

He throws it against the wall where it doesn't break but just bounces onto the floor.

"EVERYONE HERE WILL NOW GIVE ME THEIR COOKIES!"

Bel crossed his arms and scowled. This was dumb. All he had to do was grab cookies and shimmer, no problem. But then he'd have a lot of people pissed off at him.

So instead he shimmered to town and bought a bag of cookies of his own, then shimmered back to class. There. He didn't need their cookies now.

Tyler sat and played with his cookie. He wasn't giving it up without a fight.

Stark looked down at his cookie, trying to decide if it was worth trying to keep or not. He could always get more cookies.

Alanna sat with her cookie.

Isabel sat with her cookie and watched to see if anyone left their cookie unguarded so she could grab it with her alien-fu.

Krycek was looking at his cookie and trying to decide if he really cared about keeping it.

Zero put on her very best sad expression probably not as good as the icon and hoped to look pitiful enough someone would give her cookies.

After class

[sith_happened]

Because Vader's totally the kind of person you want to sit around and chit-chat with.

Except not.

Not only am I adorable, but I also have a gun.

Give me all your cookies or I will kill you either with cuteness or this gun... Possibly a combination of the two.
