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?"

"Nope," she said cheerfully.

Isabel laughed. "No. And asking again isn't going to help. I have lots of practice ignoring annoying people."

Alanna pouted and took Faithful out of her bag. She poked the cat who sighed and did his best to look cute and adorable. "Cookie?"

"Leave me alone now and I'll make Annie share her catnip with you," she offered.

Faithful purrred and blink up at Isabel with his violet eyes. "Cooookie?"

"No!" she grinned, figuring she could put up with pretty kitty pleading till the end of class.

Alanna wasn't giggling, really. "You're so mean Isabel. Look at how adorable he is! And you're making him sad!" I'm not paid enough Faithful thought and tried to look even more adorable and sad.

"I'm not sure I'd describe that look as sad," she chuckled. "Burdened and put upon perhaps. With overtones of bored and annoyed. But definitely not sad."

"He's not annoyed!" Alanna said. "Are you bored?" "Of course not." Faithful said in a monotone.

Isabel looked at her watch. "Well look at it this way, you only have about 30 minutes more of pleading ineffectively."

Faithful trotted over to Isabel and silently challenged her to a staring contest.

Isabel grinned and propped her chin on her hand, meeting Faithful's gaze.

"Mrowr." Faithful purred at Isabel, his eyes not wavering.

"Shrimp salad for dinner," she said.

"Yummmy." Faithful said, his eyes not twitch. His tail on the other hand did twitch. Right by Isabel's head.

"Cheater," Isabel laughed.

"Cat." Faithful corrected.

"Still no cookie."

"But I won!" Faithful pouted. Alanna was using her bag to cover up her head but her shoulders were shaking from laughter.

"You twitched your tail in my face," Isabel pointed out. "And broke my concentration. That's like me doing this!" She held out her hand and slowly raised Faithful a few inches into the air. "Tell me that would break your concentration!"

Faithful glanced down for a second. "Nah." He smiled down at Isabel. "Mrowr! Re-match then? For the cookie? I'll even do it from here."

Isabel laughed and held out a cookie. "Forget it. It's yours."

Faithful snagged the cookie and gave everyone a very superior look. "Mwah!"
