Ethics [Monday, April 9, 5th period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin leaned against his desk as he waited for the students to arrive. "Okay," he said, clasping his hands together. "We spent a few weeks talking about the Seven Deadly Sins. Today we'll talk about the Seven Virtues: chastity, abstinence--which aren't the same thing, believe it or not--liberality, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility."

Anakin...was good at pretty much none of those. "These words could all be used to describe Jedi," Anakin continued, walking around the room, "though, admittedly, not me as a young apprentice. As difficult as it is to avoid the pitfalls of the sins, the ideals of the virtues are equally as hard to attain." He waved a hand. "Pair up and discuss which of these virtues you'd excel at, and which one you would find the most difficult."

He turned a warning eye towards Dean and Sam. "If you two get into another argument today, Force help you," he warned. "Patience has never been my particular virtue."

Listen to the lecture!

Or fall asleep or doodle.

He'll catch you.

At some point during the lecture, a tumbleweed rolled into the classroom. It didn't seem to mean any harm, but it was curious about what was going on as tumbleweeds in Fandom often are. After a few minutes of listening, it got restless and rolled back out of the classroom. Patience, it seemed, was not the tumbleweed's virtue either.

Anakin raised an eyebrow as the weed passed by.

Strange town.

Dean doodled small bunnies in the margins of his notes as he listened to the lecture, but his head shot up and he scowled in protest at Anakin's last warning and had to swallow the "Hey!" that he almost called out.

Sam took diligent notes, but that didn't stop him from scowling at Anakin's warning. It wasn't like he meant to fight with Dean.

Turtle found it difficult to draw anything making fun the virtues, really, so she just drew that tumbleweed she just saw pass by. Tumbleweeds? Really easy to doodle.

Steerpike was somewhat more preoccupied today than usual. His notebook did manage to include a list of the sins (with patience circled several times in an impatient manner), but it also included such esoteric phrases as "all black clothing?" and "must go shopping today".

Talk about the virtues!

Or pair up and play hangman. As long as you're talking, Anakin doesn't care.

Unless you're Dean and Sam, of course.

Irulan looked around for a partner.

Turtle plopped herself beside Irulan. "Hey, Irulan," she greeted with a grin. "Wanna pair up?"

John kinda knows which one he'd suck at but he keeps it to himself for now. He looked around for a partner.

Muttering under his breath about unfair scoldings, Dean looked around for a partner who wasn't Sammy since apparently he wasn't allowed to talk to his brother if they weren't guaranteed to completely agree.

Looking at John, he asked, "Want to pair up?"

Katara tried to figure out what 'liberality' meant as she looked for a partner.

Re: Talk about the virtues!

Sam didn't want to take a chance on talking to Dean and accidentally getting in trouble again, so he glanced around and smiled when he caught Katara's eye. "Hey, do you still need a partner?"

Re: Talk about the virtues!

Blair bounced and looked for a partner.

Molly looked around too and saw Blair. "You want to partner up?"

"I think I like the sins better than the virtues. They kind of make life very boring."

"I'd have to agree," Valentine stated with a nod. "Humility and patience are not exactly strong points of mine."

Talk to Anakin!

[sith_happened]

He's totally approachable.

Ignore that whole "completely unapproachable" vibe he throws off.

"Er, hey?" Jake said, walking up to Anakin. "I think I've missed a couple of classes. I was sort of unavoidable detained."

Re: Talk to Anakin!

Dean crossed his arms over his chest. "I don't think that's entirely fair."
