Ethics [Monday, January 7, 5th period]

[sith_happened]

If there was one thing Darth Vader excelled at, it was making a memorable first impression.

He waited until the classroom was full, then stalked in, cape flaring behind him.

He twitched his fingers as he reached the center of the room and the door slammed shut behind him.

"I am Darth Vader," he intoned over the even mechanized breathing of his suit. "I trust you may have already heard of me." His masked face scanned the faces in front of him. If he was at all affected by any negative thoughts and emotions being directed at him, he wasn't showing it. "You will refer to me as either Darth Vader or Lord Vader. Any other address will result in detention." He began pacing the room. "You should be grateful for that. Very few have ever been granted advanced warning of my actions.

"Today we discuss how far over the line you would go to save someone you love." Vader's voice turned cold. "I don't want to hear that you wouldn't go over a line. Would you lie for someone? Steal for them? Kill for them? Does it matter to you if it's friend or family? Does how much you love--" and yes, the word sounded awkward coming from that particular visage, "--that person affect how far you would go for them?"

Vader crossed his arms over his chest and waited for the first student to speak.

{OOC: Roster and syllabus here. I'm starting my first day of work in an internetless environment tomorrow morning, so Vader will be responding late. Please don't burn the classroom down while I'm gone :).]

Boggle at the teacher

Throw notes, stare, whisper with your neighbor.

Remember that Vader will be watching.

The entrance? Not so impressive. He'd seen all of it before except the mechanized breathing.

If Vader had come through the wall he still wouldn't have been impressed. So young to be so jaded.

Neil would get around to answering the question.

For the moment...he was boggling.

"Holy wow."

Steerpike was unimpressed. Well, except for the door thing. That was pretty cool.

He decided that he would go for the "Lord Vader" option. This teacher seemed to have power, and if Steerpike could win his favor, he might just grant him some of that power.

The heavy breathing was sort of weird but other than that Draco wasn't too weirded out by Lord Vader. Frightened, yes. But not weirded out. One dark lord wasn't too different from the next.

Marco felt he now had proof for his insanity theory. And proof for 'it's all true' theory.

Molly had heard a lot about Vader. Even seen him around a few times. This was the first time that she had been close enough to get the full effect though.

She could see why Luke didn't like knowing that Vader was there to watch him. Molly had seen a lot of bad guys over the years, but there was something about Vader that was just so much more... she thought he would have gotten along well with The Pride.

It takes a lot for Kaoru not to look completely freaked out by his new teacher in the black mask... but he's had a lot of practice keeping his calm.

Irulan didn't know a thing about Darth Vader but appreciated his flair for the dramatic. He wouldn't be amiss in the Imperial Court.

She was wearing her own best hat headress to class too.

Valentine was most pleased that his teacher had a real face. At long last, a person on the island whose emotions were broadcasted clearly for all to see!
Granted, he was something of a grouchy individual, but it was nice to see someone who wasn't a hideous flesh-faced freak.

The man reminded him far to much of the Judges (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Final_Fantasy_XII_characters#Archadian_Judges) from back home.

Balthier cringed and rolled his eyes. "'Out of the frying pan into the fire' as they say." He mumbled.

Jaye's seen Vader before, but now she can think about a few important questions. Like how to get a puffy paint daisy on the back of his helmet.

Turtle...plans which way to leap out of her desk when it starts moving around.

Katara tried not to stare though she did a rather bad job. Then she thought of how Aang would try to handle this 'teacher' and had a difficult time constraining her giggles.

She did, however, take notes this time. With the very difficult to use pen.

What. the. fuck? Weiss'd heard about this guy but geez. Drama queen. Scary, scary drama queen who Weiss would never, ever fuck with something that should prepare him well for Jack Bristow in years to come.

John watched quietly. He'd heard about this guy so much from Aeryn that he'd been expecting someone eight feet tall and covered in muscles. This guy was...not. John didn't know what was worse.
