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."


  1. John Conner/Gwynn Hood

  2. D'anna Biers/Aeryn Sun

  3. Rory Gilmore/Stark

  4. Seely Booth/Zero Hopeless-Savage

  5. Jack Harkness/Tyler Durden

  6. Sam Carter/Jamie Madrox

  7. River Tam/Alanna Trebond

  8. Belthazor/Isabel Evans

  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!]

"But how else am I going to do right by you and the little guy? Gal?"

Zero frowned. "Are you from, like, the nineteen-fifties or somethin'? And, I dunno." She held the egg out to Seely. "Does this look like a guy or a girl to you?"

"So now I'm in trouble for having a sense of responsibility?" Seely asked. He looked over the egg. "Girl, maybe?"

"You can provide moral and, should you so choose, financial responsibility to the mother of your child without marrying them," Zero pointed out. "My sister an' her Henry have two kids, an' they're not married." Zero squinted at the egg. "Maybe it's intersex."

"Choose to provide?" Seely cradled the egg. "Of course I'm gonna provide for them. What kind of a deadbeat do you take me for?" He blinked."Isn't it a bit young to be doing that?"

"Well, y'never know," Zero said. "But I'm glad to hear it. And you don't know what that word means, do you?"

"Let's just go with girl, then," Zero said quickly.

"Okay," Seely grinned. "Any ideas for a name?"

"I always liked Anarchy for a girl," Zero mused. "But I think I might save that for my first flesh child. How about Ova? Or is that too on-the-nose?"

"Sounds kinda cute," Seely replied, rocking the egg.

"Yeah. How d'you want to divide up custody?" Zero asked.

"Well, since you won't marry me, I guess we'll have to alternate, or something."

"D'you wanna switch off days, or one of us keep her until Sunday or Monday an' then switch?" Zero asked.

"Continual switching might mess with her sense of stability," Seely replied.

"That's true..." Zero said, eyeing the egg speculatively.
