Ethics Class [Dec. 6, first period]

When everyone entered the class they found Qui-Gon standing up at the front of the classroom and no Anakin in sight.

"Hello," Qui-Gon said when everyone had settled.

"Master Anakin is... ah.... rather indisposed at the moment." With a faint smile, he pointed to the small Jedi action figure sitting on the edge of the desk who had been posed with an arm above his head waving. "No, I don't know why he's suddenly an action figure. I just plan on ~~taking full advantage~~ keeping him safe until he's not anymore.

"Luckily, when I ~~broke into~~ checked his office, I found Master Anakin's notes for this class so we can do more than stare at the action figure. Today's topic is lust." Qui-Gon paused to change the pose on the Anakin figure so now he looked like he had his hands over his ears. "A topic that is not for the faint of heart or toys under two feet tall.

"If you're a healthy normal member of a species that reproduces sexually, it is pretty much a given that you will feel attraction for another at some point. There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing inherently wrong in acting on that attraction if all parties are consenting and you don't turn off your brain when you do so.

"Like many other so called carnal sins, lust in itself is just a feeling. It only becomes a problem when we let it take over and do our thinking for us." He smiled again faintly. "Hormones are not generally the best decision makers. Leaving the decisions up to them will tend to lead you into all sorts of trouble.

"Master Anakin, had arranged an assignment that is supposed to let us all experience for ourselves one possible outcome if we ever mistake our hormones for our brains." Qui-Gon went behind the desk and picked up a tiny droid. "From his notes, these are programmed to simulate infants that we are to take care of. They include sensors that record whether the care is good or whether they've been chucked in a closet until next class. It appears we are all parents for the next week." Another grin. "So congratulations, it's a droid.

"They are also programmed to act like a very young child which means there will be a lot of loud crying," Quii-Gon continued. "Some of it may even be the droid.Anakin also left a list of who is to co-parent with who. I, and several other students apparently made very bad lust induced choices and so have found themselves single parents. But most of you will have a co-parent to share the responsibility with.

"So as I call your names, please come up and retrieve your droid."

....talk to your neighbours, snicker about the barbie doll sized Jedi Master

Sokka raised his hand. "If they ARE chucked into a closet for a week, will that negatively impact our grades?"

"I won't be the one grading them -- assuming Master Anakin's time as a toy is finite -- but I would assume yes, it would."

Jaina was torn. On one hand, there was the option to facepalm/stare at her action figure grandfather and wonder how hard Mara would laugh if she knew. On the other, she didn't want to think about the project pretty much at all.

So... the first thing was the easy choice then.
