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

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."

  6. Sam Carter/Jamie Madrox

  7. River Tam/Alanna Trebond

  9. Maia Rutledge

  10. Elizabeth Weir



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!]

That...wasn't a curve Sam had been expecting. "So you're going to be the primary caregiver? And you'll take care of the egg while you're eating bon bons and watching soaps?" It wasn't like they'd be living together, after all, so it didn't make a difference to her how Jamie chose to spend his free time.

"Isn't that the American dream of any young man?" Jamie said with a laugh.

"Is it?" That was news to Sam.

"Sure it is!" Jamie replied. "You get to work and me and Rafaella will just stay at home. Don't worry. I'm a great cook."

Sam snickered. "You'd have to be better than I am. This actually sounds like it might work. I'll take nights, you can take days?"

"Works for me," Jamie said tickling the egg. "As long as you keep her on a soy diet."

The egg didn't giggle. Because it was an egg. "Why soy? I mean, it's an egg and doesn't eat."

"Soy is very healthy. Plus no growth hormones they put in the cows," Jamie said as if this was the most obvious thing in the world.

"But she's still not going to be eating it," Sam pointed out.

"You're going to starve our only child?" Jamie asked looking horrified.
