Ethics [Monday, January 15, 5th period]

[sith_happened]

Precisely on time, Darth Vader swept into the room and slammed the door firmly behind him.

"Today we talk about lying," he said, his masked face scanning the faces in front of him as he prowled around the classroom.

"Everyone lies," he stated flatly. "To hide things, to manipulate others, to avoid...unpleasantness." There was a definite hint of scorn in his voice at that last example. "In class today, you are required to pair up and only tell the truth." His cape whirled behind him. "And I can tell if you are not. Such disobedience will result in detention."

He paused for a moment. "And I don't believe in that axiom where if you cannot say something nice, you don't say anything at all. I do not require you to be nice. I require you to be honest." He glanced down at the student roster. "If everyone comes to class today, there will be an odd number. That final person will be interrogated by me."

He crossed his arms over his chest, his mechanical breathing the only sound for a moment. "Name. Place of birth. Classes you are taking," he barked out. "Proceed from there."

"That sounds like it could be a fun class."

"I have no idea. The teacher is kind of opinionated. I could be sweating my way through for all I know," Weiss said. "So, is your name really Turtle?"

Turtle winced; she didn't like the direction this could take. "No."

"Sooo, what is your real name?"

There was a pause before she responded, shrinking in on herself with raised shoulders. "Alice," she lied.

Well, she already had detention. The next stop would be getting a bad grade, and she sure as heck never cared about those.
