Ethics [Tuesday, September 30, 2nd period]
When the Ethics class arrived in the Danger Shop, they stepped into an entirely different world.
An incredibly dry, hot one. That smelled really bad.
Anakin waved his hand around the room. "Welcome to the embodiment of gluttony," he said, "the palace of a Hutt."
He concentrated on the controls on the far side of the room, and the simulation sprung to life: dozens of beings drinking, eating, and dancing, with all activity centered around a vile slug of a beast laying on the raised dais at the front of the room.
In a place of honor on the wall was a man, face twisted in a silent scream but his features obscured beyond recognition, encased in silver. Anakin ignored it as he walked past to point at the creature on the dais. "That," he said, nose wrinkling in disgust, "is a Hutt. This particular version was named Jabba, one of the most powerful crime lords in the galaxy." A grim smile turned the corners of his mouth up. "At least until he met my children."
He shook his head. "That is neither here nor there. Today is an interactive experience for you, class. Take a good hard look around. See the effects that gluttony can have."
His eyes went flat. "Touch any of the dancing girls and you'll regret it. That's a promise."

Re: Explore Jabba's Palace!
Seeing the big slug made Myn's fingers itch for his rifle. Or, even better, an X-Wing with a full array of proton torpedoes.

"It would be better if it were a rapidly expanding gas cloud."
Just because there was less of a chance, that didn't mean there was none at all. Disgust happened to override filters sometimes.
