Ethics (Thursday, September 28, 6th period)

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?"

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

Bel grinned. "It works. That way I don't have to rely on anybody else."

"Mmm," Tyler said thoughtfully. "But it was also the easy way. Like, if I were to get you to give me a cookie, I'd be taking a risk. Using your powers is playing it a little safe for you."

Bel shrugged. "Well, I could just take them from everyone," he said. "Would you prefer that?"

"Not especially," Tyler said. "Just pointing out you took the easy way." He scratched his chin. "Now, if you gave me a cookie and then tried to get it back, that could prove something."
demonbelthazor: (Bitch please)

"Like I'm gonna fall for that?" Bel said.

"You might be dumb enough," Tyler said honestly.
demonbelthazor: (*glare*)

Bel glared. "I am not!"

Careful. Tyler could tell he had hit a sore spot.

"Fine, you're not," Tyler agreed smoothly. "Though I wonder why it upsets you so much."

"What, I'm supposed to smile and say thank you when you call me dumb?" Bel said.

"But I didn't. I said you could be dumb enough to fall for it. You could also not be," Tyler said. "...now, about your cookies?"

"Dream on," Bel said. "You're not getting a crumb."
