fandomhigh | Ethics [Monday, January 29, 5th period]

Vader swept into the room precisely on time, slamming the door hard enough to reverberate down the hallway. He dropped a box of cookies onto his desk, then pulled a box of water pistols from under his chair and put them next to the cookies.

"Today we talk about how a strict sense of right and wrong interferes in efficiency," he said, pacing the room and clearly intending to intimidate as many students as possible. "Employees who do not believe that there will be consequences for their incompetence become lazy, stupid, and easily replaceable."

Vader took the box of cookies from his desk and passed it around the room. "Each of you has a cookie," he said. "You will spend the rest of the class period using the tactics of fear, shame and guilt to get the other people in this classroom to give you their cookies." And yes, that word sounded incredibly strange coming from him. "You may not use any cookies you might have brought with you into this class. Whoever has the most cookies at the end of the class will get to keep them."

He crossed his arms over his chest. "Are these tactics unethical? Does it matter if you get what you want?"

Molly and Katara walked over to Blair's desk and sat down so that they were both facing him. "Hi, Blair," Molly said with a big smile.

"Hey guys!" Blair grinned and bounced. "What's up?"

"I was just wondering if you'd met Katara yet," Molly said indicating Katara. "She's my assigned little sister and I'm helping her meet more people. Katara, this is Blair. He's one of the nice guys here."

"Hi Blair!" Katara said, grinning back at him. "Molly says you're really nice. I'm so happy to meet you!"

"Awww! That's really sweet, Molly, thanks!" Blair smiled. "It's great to meet you too, Katara."

"Yeah, Blair's not like those mean boys who raided our party on Friday night," Molly said with a pout. "He'd never do something like that to us."

Katara's pout matched Molly's. "They were awfully mean. I don't know why boys would do something like that. We just wanted to have fun."

"I don't think that was cool of them at all, man." Blair said, frowning. "But I'm also not a huge fan of exclusionary slumber parties either. Maybe the guys just felt left out and exercised their rage in an inappropriate manner."

Molly was still pouting. "They could have mentioned it sooner. The posters were up for days and days. They could have even had their own slumber party. They didn't have to mess with ours."

"If they had just mentioned it," Katara added, puppy dog eyes now added to the pout. "We would have figures something out. Instead they decided to steal our stuff."

"That's really cool of you, man." Blair smiled. "I'm sorry it didn't work out this time but maybe next time you can have some sort of sleepover meditator."

"Oh, we will," Molly said with a nod. "But that doesn't make us less sad for this time." Her eyes got really big and she pouted more. "Blair, they took one of my hats."

"And put our...umm, underclothes... up in a quilt in the lobby," Katara sounded both shocked and very, very sad.

"Dude, not cool." Blair frowned. "Do you know who they are? Do you want me to talk to them?"

Molly shook her head. "I don't know who took my hat. Ray is going to find it for me," she said.

"You could help us out another way though," Katara said, wide-eyed still.

"Good for Ray." Blair said and nodded to Katara. "Sure. Whatever you guys need."

Molly bit her lip and glanced over at Katara before focusing her very very sad eyes on Blair. "You might say no, though," she told him.

"And we don't want to ask too much or anything," Katara added, looking terribly, terribly sad.

Blair leaned forward to look at both of the girls. "Seriously, guys. I'm here to help."

Molly looked over at Katara again and then back at Blair. "Can we have your cookie?" she asked, making her eyes even wider than before.

"Please?" Katara asked sweetly.

Blair blinked and eyed the girls for a long moment. "...that'll make you happier?"

Molly nodded.

Katara did, still giving the puppy dog eyes.
