fandomhigh | Ethics [Thursday, October 12, 6th period]

The door to the Ethics classroom rocked back on its hinges as per usual, but instead of a cloaked Sith Lord, a small ball hovered its way into the room.

It was black. It was shiny. It was incredibly menacing.

It surveyed the class for a long, quiet moment before Vader entered the room.

"This is an interrogation droid," he snarled, even angrier than most days. "There are times when asking politely for information accomplishes nothing."

It was very clear that the interrogation droid had no capacity for talking, though. It was an extremely advanced instrument of torture.

His gaze swept the students gathered in front of him, pausing for a moment on Rory before resting on Jamie. The only sound in the classroom was the whirring of mechanics from the droid and Vader's breathing.

"Today, we will conduct an experiment," Vader said, still staring at Jamie. "Half of you will be Rebel traitors who possess information about the location of your secret base." Those students received a slip of paper on their desks. "The other half of you are Imperial guards trying to obtain this information from your prisoner. I, personally, do not care what form your...questioning takes, but you cannot use actual physical violence."

There was a long pause. "In this particular exercise. In a real interrogation, it works very, very well. If you reach a stalemate in your negotiations, you may talk with your partner about how far you would be willing to go if the school would allow you to use physical violence, or if you had more time to get the prisoner to become...more pliable. Sleep deprivation also works very well."

He waved a gloved hand at the students. "Begin." He stared down at Jamie. "I have some questions for you, Mister Madrox."

He's a scary, scary guy, yes?

Yeah, okay, watching this? Kind of made her miss the necklace, since she was used to playing with it a little when she was nervous.

She settled for trying to look uncaring and sucking on her pen instead.

Alanna was glad she was a spy because her method of interogation would have involved physical violance.

Isabel is not at all happy with the lecture or the topic but at the same time, she's more concerned about Aeryn and what she witnessed at the park. She waited until Vader was occupied elsewhere and before slipping a note onto Aeryn's desk. I was in the park this morning. What/Who was that? Are you guys okay?

Aeryn reads the note a couple times before writing back. Long story. Problems back home.

Home? Crap... Be careful. One of the aliens followed you.

Somehow unsurprising. I'll keep safe.

And she adds, Thanks.

Isabel hesitated for a moment before finally writing another short message.

Your mother?

Aeryn pauses again, and nods.

She doesn't want to push, but she can't help being curious. And worried.

Are you okay?

Aeryn's answer this time is the automatic one. I'll be fine.

Jamie watched the floaty ball with fascination and pretty much ignoring the entire lecture.

Why?

Floaty Ball! It floats!

Vader stalked over to Jamie's desk as everyone began pairing up. "My office was painted pink," he snarled. "Explain."

"It goes well with black," Jamie replied brightly. "Did you like it? It's part of the beautification committee thing I'm on."

The top of Jamie's desk creaked under the pressure Vader was putting on it. "No."

Jamie looked at his desk briefly and shrugged. "I'm sorry to hear that. Would you like me to try a different color? Maybe teal? Ooo. Fuchsia?"

"Stay. Out. Of. My. Office," Vader snarled.

"So I should probably cancel the order for the Hello Kitty area rug then," Jamie replied with a sigh. "Which is too bad because I'm sure Professor V would like it."

"I don't care what V likes," Vader growled.

This lecute made Seely feel very uncomfortable, he just wasn't sure why, beyond the obvious of course.

This was a little intense, especially after the scene in the park earlier. Tyler watched carefully.

Stark was trying not to twitch overly much during the lecture. It wasn't a terribly successful attempt.

Torturing people for information wasn't something he wanted to think about, ever.

Sam wasn't at all pleased about the lecture topic and tried to block both her and Jolinar's memories of being tortured from surfacing.

Krycek mostly listened, but his thoughts were full of silos, foreign prisons, and campfires.

Yeah, scary ball. Ooh. For once, Aeryn's decidedly not focused on the lecture.
