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."

Jamie added a small black helmet to the sock for extra intimidating power.

"TELL ME WHERE THE REBEL BASE IS!!!" The sock puppet yelled followed by some loud breathing.

"Jamie?" Isabel said seriously. "I've got plans this weekend that do not involve detention. Can we call it a draw and move on to the discussion side of things?"

"Sure," Jamie said looking a little disappointed as he put his sock away. "Of course if we're talking about using violence at school to use interrogation I don't think that would really work well here. Too many people with weird powers. It would most likely end up in a stalemate unless one of the partys was on the extreme side."

"I'm sorry," Isabel apologized. "If it was any other weekend I would have said keep going cause you're funnier then hell. But Greg and I are heading out to the mountains to go see leaves. I'd much rather do that then be in detention." She thought about what he said, "You're right. Plus I think too many people here have been through too much to just roll over and give up information. So things would have to be taken to an extreme level."

"That's okay. Vader gave me another detention for decorating his office," Jamie replied. "I forget that other people in the world don't have to do detention. So far last week was the only time this semester I came through class without one. Sounds like you and Greg are going to have a good time."

"We are," Isabel smiled happily. "He grew up in Southern California and I grew up in the desert. So neither one of us ever really saw Fall before. It should be nice."

"The only detention I've had since I've been here was because I won the stupid lottery. And it was honestly one of the worst days of my life," she said seriously. "So I try and avoid it at all costs. But decorating Vader's office would almost be worth it. I take it you didn't go for the stark evil overlord look?"

"Well I figured he needed something light and refreshing to help break him out of this crabby mood," Jamie explained. "So I painted his walls pink with a giant happy face and covered the ceiling in glitter. I don't understand why he was so unhappy with this."

Isabel facepalmed. "Oh my god. Jamie you're insane. But I love it."

"You know everyone says I'm insane except the voices in my head tell me something completely different," Jamie joked. "I'm always wondering who's right."
