Ethics [Thursday, November 9, 6th period]

Vader swept into the room and slammed the door behind him as usual.

"Immortality," he intoned, pacing in front of the class, mental walls incredibly strong. On this topic most of all, he had no interest in students poking around in his head. "Many beings have made life-altering choices in order to avoid dying, or to try to avoid someone they love dying. They've broken under torture, they've made pacts with powerful beings, they've sold their souls like a commodity. They've cloned themselves, murdered thousands, created machines to stop the passage of time."

Vader's cape billowed out around him as he turned. "Today's discussion is not about why all sentient and mortal beings seem to fear death. Today, you shall discuss what you would be prepared to give up if it would guarantee that you would live forever."

The last thing Bel needed was heavy thoughts on virtual immortality (barring a vanquish potion) as opposed to girlfriends aging, so he remained mostly silent, thinking about Vegas instead.

"For me? Nothing," she said shortly. "I wouldn't want to be immortal."

"It's not really my choice," she said. "And I almost did, anyway. I'd certainly rather not die young and painfully, but cheating death is a bad idea."

"It cheapens life," she said.

"Death? Yeah. Been there done that," Jamie said trying not to yawn. "It's tough to die when there's another duplicate out there who can step into your place. Or if you're from where I'm from you just wait a while and when the writers want your character back some weird cosmic event will bring you back to life. I've known people who have died at least three times so... yeah. No big."

"I'm not saying it's an easy choice," Rory said. "But you don't know what you're doing when you mess with things like that. You can't anticipate what'll happen down the road."

"If you get your visions like Jedi do, then it's not very clear," she replied, crossing her arms. "The Force shows all possibilites, no matter how remote. You can't absolutely predict the future."

"No, just more evil and, thanks to you, more alive."

"No, being smart, they wouldn't," she replied.
