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."

"It's another world from what I've been able to tell." He said quite honestly. "Very different from here, but with the handwave research that I've done so far I've found that it might not be a different as I first thought. There are things that are similar, but very different at the same time. For example, a bus, here it is a large vehicle used for public transportation of the populace, generally ground transportation with wheels and all that. Now in my world, we have something similar, but it flies and honestly you’d be hard pressed to find ground transportation that wasn't walking or by riding a chocobo. Wheels are very old fashioned and nearly prehistoric to us; yet at the same time, we don't have television, telephones, or this worlds mass marketing of music and entertainment."
