Ethics [Monday, January 7, 5th period]
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 :).]

"Exactly how big and nasty is the thing in question that I'll be cowering from?"

"Well, it's fortunate that this is a hypothetical question, then, given that I really don't have anyone to care about... but I imagine that I'd be very proficient at cowering from you, Lord Vader."
Sucking up. Sucking up was his best line of defense.
Aside from fleeing, of course.

He turned and walked away.
