Vader stomped into the classroom, slamming the door so hard behind him that it cracked across the middle.

"Today I will give you your midterm assignment," he snapped, cloak swirling around him as he paced. "The master-apprentice system of education has long been traditional in my galaxy. The Jedi used it--" his tone was laced with scorn as his helmet swiveled towards Rory, "and my own Sith still use it. We will be following in the Sith tradition."

He pulled a piece of paper from his desk. "I have paired you up into master and apprentice teams. Throughout the coming week, you will work together. Masters, your goal is to train your apprentices to a level of usefulness in a skill of your choice. Apprentices, your goal is to become better than your master at that skill and ultimately become the master. You must provide a united front to the rest of the world while seeking to undermine each other at every turn. Next class you will report to me about the weaknesses and strengths of your partner and how you would hypothetically use them to gain the upper hand in your relationship."

And if Vader sounded a bit bitter about this particular arrangement, well, he was.

"I have heard about the master-slave exercise in the previous Ethics class," he growled, voice heavy with menace. "This is a completely different concept and anyone who tries to turn this into non-hypothetical exploitation will be answering to me personally. You will be wishing for detention when I am finished with you." He made sure to look at every student as he said that. There would be no misinterpretation of his intentions in this.

He turned his attention to the paper in his gloved right hand. "Listen for your names. I will only be saying them once."

At the end of class, he looked around the room again. "I will be holding office hours on Saturday and Sunday if any of your visitors choose to speak with me and hear how inadequate I find all of you." His helmet swiveled towards Rory again. "Other than that, do not bother me."

"I'm not sure what I can learn from you, my master. Perhaps, how not to be an ass? Or, your famous brownie recipe?"

John leans forward, tenting his fingers in front of his mouth.

"The power of my brownies is strong indeed young apprentice. However I feel you've not reached that plato that would enable you to handle the ingredients for which it calls." She smiled and then leaned back into her seat. "I can teach you many things my young one...all the secrets of the universe could be opened up just for you." Maia's voice sounded mysterious now.

"I am eager to learn, my massster." John leaned forward and tilted his head down, looking sinister.

Maia had to keep very hard from laughing out loud at this. "Come by my dorm this weekend, room 217 and we shall see if you are ready to learn my young apprentice." She did a mock Vadar breathing for a second and then stopped with a nervous giggle as she glanced around.

Vader was totally staring at her.

Maia spotted him and immediately turned her 'vader' breathing into a mock coughing fit, rubbing her throat in the process and acting like it hurt to swallow or as if she had caught some dust in her throat. She turned her attention back to John now, still making noises as if she were clearing her throat.

"Will do. Should I wear a cape?"

Having just been caught sight of Vader looking at her and feigning a coughing fit over her vader breathing Maia shook her head, "Uh no, no a cape isn't needed." She cleared her throat. "it's ok." She swallowed again.

"Okay. I'll stick ot jeans or something, then. It'll be fun."
