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."

Peyton certainly had no interest in touching the dancing girls. She was actually more than a little freaked out by the whole thing.

Lee kind of stood in place for a while, just taking everything in. Might as well know where everything was before he actually started getting into the thick of things.

Ender drifted. With no particular goal in mind other than a sense of barely repressed curiosity, he was in a perfect state of mind simply to observe.

Ender was around. He might have been a little difficult to spot, though.

The dancing girls didn't really look like they wanted to be there - the chains, for one thing - and that really wasn't Michael's kink. He was wandering around looking at the decorations and pets instead.

Oh, look, it was just like home. Except for the part where Tahiri'd never actually been in a Hutt's palace before. Heard plenty, sure, from Sliven and her Tusken tribe, and heard more than a little about this exact Hutt's palace from Master Luke, but never actually been in one before.

It was fascinating, once she got past the fact that it smelled worse than a Jawa sandcrawler could even hope to smell, and of course she had no intention of touching any of the dancing girls. (Knowing that Master Mara Jade Skywalker had been disguised as one of them? That'd put her right off that notion.)

"Ugh, wish I'd actually worn shoes for once . . ."

She be happy -- despite the look on her face -- to show a student or two around the place, if they wanted.

Ella wrinkled her nose in sympathy. "I think I'm going to sterilize my clothes after we leave."

Firekeeper looked around, one hand resting on Blind Seer's shoulder. Even the softest of Hawk Haven's and Bright Bay's (or was it Bright Haven now? The human insistence on naming their territories was so strange) nobles were nothing like this.

She was also pretty glad to be comparatively nose-dead right about now. The scents might be artificial, but that didn't stop Blind Seer from drawing a comparison between this place and the sewers beneath Thendulla Lypella.

Toby was more than a little horrified by the slug dude. He'd welcome any distractions.
