Ethics [Thursday, December 14th, 6th period]

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

As everyone came into class, they could see that Krycek had laid out a handout on every desk. He waited at the front of the class until everyone had taken a seat before starting, looking rather cheerful.

"Relationship ethics," he began, then spread his hands, smirking. "Yes, I'm serious. That's what my syllabus says and we're running with it. I'm sure you'll all have fun."

Krycek held up one of the handouts, paraphrasing the first part. "'A basic and trustworthy relationship that one has to another human being, that cannot necessarily be characterized in terms of any abstraction other than trust and common protection of each other's body.' And, as it says, honestly is generally considered a major focus in an ethical relationship.

"I think we all know that it's not always possible to be completely honest, 100% of the time, right? People will be people, no one's perfect, and all that. Sometimes there have to be lies, mutually acknowledged or held by one party, in order to maintain the relationship at all." Krycek remained somewhat amused as he continued. "So when, if ever, is it okay to lie to your partner? When is it okay to invade your partner's privacy? What counts as invading your partner's privacy in the first place?"


After the main discussion, Krycek pulled out a carton of eggs from behind the desk. "Now this is your final project, which will wrap up next week."

He held up one raw egg, grinning slightly. "Congratulations, kids, you're now egg-parents. You'll be caring for an egg for the next week, reports to be made in our last class of the term. I've assigned some pairs and a couple of people as single parents, so go ahead and find your partner - or come get your egg-baby if you're alone - and use the last part of the class to name your baby, decide if it's a boy or a girl, and figure out who gets custody first."

Once everyone had split off, Krycek raised his voice for attention one last time. "So you know, I'll be listening to radio. You can't leave your egg-baby unattended - treat it just like a real baby. And don't think you can get away with breaking your egg, because I'll know. Believe me, I have my ways. So happy parenting and I'll see you all next week!"

[OOC: Wait for OCD is done! I'm going to bed now, omg, but I will be on about 9am PST and around for as much of the day as I can manage. Have fun!]

Try not to egg each other on too much.

River looked at the eggs. At least they weren't noisy. But as she had explined to Blair, babies weren't high on her list of things she wanted. That included metaphorical babies in the shape of eggs.

Sam may have glanced at Jack for this, wondering what he had to say.

Aeryn's used to being ragey at this time every Thursday, and while she definitely starts out that way, she's completely thrown off by the appearance of the egg babies. "It's an egg," she says slowly, completely not getting it.

"When is it okay to lie to your partner?" D'anna repeated. "That depends heavily upon your partner and the sort of relationship set up."

Find Your Partner/Get Your Baby

I think this shell be very interesting. Or eggscrutiating, possibly.

Seely looked around for Zero.

"I think I'm supposed to offer to marry you," he said.

River looked for Alanna. She hardly knew her and now they were supposed to have an egg-baby together.

Jack leaned back in his chair and waited for Tyler to find him.

Isabel's done this before so she's not too freaked out by the idea. At least an egg is a little easier to lug around then a five pound bag of flower. Still, they were going to need a baby sitter when they went to Tortall.

She looked around for Bel, wondering if he was going to make it to class or if he was still on his road trip.

Stark really has no idea what's going on. So he's going to wait and hope Rory does.


((Alas, I am AFK until 9 or 10 EST!))

Aeryn does not look happy about this, but she's waiting for D'Anna anyway.

John? Totally not all about to get up and hop over to the egg carton nursery and pick up his very pale lovechild.

"I call 'not it' until I can rig up a freakin' baby sling."
John realized what he just said and headdesked.

"Hello sweet little baby egg," Jamie cooed. "Daddy loves you very much. I think I'll call you Guido."

Elizabeth was just staring at her egg, a slight look of disbelief on her face.

Maia shrugged and headed up to get her egg baby. "Single Parenting. Hurrah!" She said with a grin.

Talk to Krycek

This probably all sounds pretty rotten...

Re: Talk to Krycek

"Um, Kry? You do know Seely just broke up with my best friend, right?" Zero said.

Re: Talk to Krycek

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"...you sit around just thinking up ways to traumatize me, don't you?" D greeted.

Er, rather, mostly stated, slightly questioned, and possibly greeted.

Re: Talk to Krycek

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Do we have to clothe it and pretend to feed it?" asked Elizabeth, still keeping a healthy distance from her egg.

Re: Talk to Krycek

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia looked at her egg, "So um, do we get points taken off if we don't change it's nappy..uh her nappy/his nappy. Ok it's a boy. I am going to name him Harold. So, do I get points taken off if say I don't "Change" Harolds nappy?"
