Ethics [Monday, January 22, 5th period]
Vader came stalking into the classroom precisely on time, cape billowing behind him.
The door slammed in his wake. Hard.
"Today we talk about gossip," he growled. And Force, did he hate that syllabus right now. "Last week we explored the truth. This week, we focus on manipulating the environment around someone."
He pointed at the radio he'd brought into the classroom. "The pirate and his minions are masters at the art of euphemism and shading, twisting and massaging the truth to give their listeners a complete different impression." He paused. "And Force knows we gave them enough fodder this weekend."
He paced in front of the class. "Today, each of you will begin a rumor in this classroom about a student, teacher or person living in town. It doesn't need to be true. It certainly doesn't need to be polite. It can even be about someone in this classroom." For a moment the only sound in the classroom was Vader's breathing. "But think very, very carefully about the consequences of saying something negative about me." He paused for another moment to let that sink in before continuing. "You will then tell this rumor to the person next to you, who will pass it along to the person next to them. You can pass it along verbatim, change the context or manipulate it however else you wish. At the end of the class, we should have 21 new rumorsand a bunch of people angry with each other, mwahahahaha."
He pointed at a student at random. "Begin."
[OOC: Sigh. My work schedule still blows. Verbal fights are encouraged. Actual fights will result in immediate detention. Anyone mocking Mufasa or James Earl Jones will automatically get detention.]

He wasn't really sure why anyone would miss the guy who had written a comprehensive guide on the Future Fruit.
