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?"

Gimme your cookies!

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.

Seely grinned charmingly. "Rory."

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

Jack couldn't resist. "Hey, Aeryn. I don't suppose you want to give me your cookie?"

"Aeryn," Seely grinned. "Want to give me your cookie?"

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!"

*breathes in*

*breathes out*

Bel reached over to take Jamie's cookie.

Aeryn tries to convince herself that she doesn't want to headdesk. Which doesn't work, because she really wants to. The only reason she doesn't is because that would look really stupid in class. "You have a death wish," she notes.

Tyler cracked up and applauded the show, with one elbow firmly guarding his cookie.

Seely smirked. "Too late, but if you give me yours I could always give it back later."

Stark just stared. And then stared some more. But he held on to his cookie.

"Apoplectic with fury" would come close to describing Vader at the moment.

Only angrier.

"Explain!" he roared.

He was an inch away from tossing Jamie into a wall and dealing with the consequences later.

"Why?"

Re: Gimme your cookies!

[demonbelthazor]

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 looked at Bel out of the corner of his eye. "INteresting approach to the assignment."

Isabel made very sad eyes at Bel. "Give me a cookie?"

River stared at Bel, and tried to look as unstable as possible.

Re: Gimme your cookies!

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

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

"Give me your cookie or I'll break your arm. Or kick you somewhere it hurts." River smiled, hoping it made her look crazy enough to be scary.

Re: Gimme your cookies!

[stykera]

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.
