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!]

Seely looked around for Zero.

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

Re: Find Your Partner/Get Your Baby

[swerval_zero]

"The answer is 'squall no,'" Zero said.

"But we have a kid together," Seely pointed out.

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

Alanna sat down next to River. "I'm gone off world this weekend."

"The egg could get to travel then," River said hopefully.

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

[ooc: afk til about 3pm FH time]

Tyler looked more amused than anything as he made his way to Jack. "Hi, honey, how's junior?"

Re: Find Your Partner/Get Your Baby

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack snickered abd held out his hand to reveal their egg. "Junior looks nothing like us. I think there might have been a mix-up at the hospital."

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.

Bel was indeed back, having returned to Fandom late last night. He sat down beside Isabel, after warily eyeing the class for any potential trouble. He stared at the egg in confusion. "We're supposed to watch over an egg?" he said.

Re: Find Your Partner/Get Your Baby

"Not just an egg," Isabel said seriously. "Congratulations. You're a daddy. But before we start planning the college fund, I believe you owe me an explanation?"

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!))

Re: Find Your Partner/Get Your Baby

"Um," said Rory, "this is kind of weird. I didn't know anyone still did this." She picked up one of the eggs. "Okay, want it to be a boy or a girl?"

[Psh, no worries, I won't be home until 11 EST myself.]

Re: Find Your Partner/Get Your Baby

[stykera]

"Um," Stark said helpfully. And then he looked at the egg, which was just an egg as far as he could tell and it looked more like potential breakfast than a boy OR a girl. "You've heard of this before? Pretending eggs are babies? And, um, a girl? If that's okay."

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

Brain still set to 'What The Frakkery?' mode, D'anna took a seat across from Aeryn.

She stared blankly at the egg for a moment or two before finally moving her mouth. "So..."

Re: Find Your Partner/Get Your Baby

[can_be_more]

Aeryn sighs, still staring at the egg. "Have a gender preference?"

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.

Gwynn blinked. "Not it?"

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

Re: Find Your Partner/Get Your Baby

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Guido?" Sam made a face. "Um, no."

Re: Find Your Partner/Get Your Baby

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

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.
