Anakin walked into his classroom precisely on time and gave the students assembled there an appraising glance as the door clicked shut behind him. If you were late, you weren't getting in. "I'm Master Skywalker," he said in a voice that was intended to carry, "this is Ethics, and we're going to skip the introductions--I'll figure out who you are--and move straight to our first discussion."

He paced around the room, cloak flaring out behind him, as he handed out the syllabus. "Today's topic," he said, pointing to the top of the page. "Self sacrifice: knowing the difference between saving people and being a pretentious twit."

"Any time I ask a a group of people what they would do to save someone they love, they all blither on about how they would set the world on fire, lie, cheat, steal, kill, die, et cetera, et cetera. I've been at this school too long to believe that half of you haven't already been put into this situation and I'm in no mood to hear adolescent ramblings about how wonderful you were or might hypothetically be. Instead I want you to give me a concrete example of a time you admitted to yourself that a problem cannot be solved, and that to sacrificing yourself wasn't a statement, but merely pointless?" His gaze swept the room. "How long does it take for you to realize you can't fix everything by yourself?"

He would hear the replies and choose his TAs from there.

"Yes, Dinah's is New Gotham," Karla said. "I didn't mean to have gotten you excited for the wrong place."

"It's okay," Hayley said. "I'm gettin' used to the idea that no one's ever heard of it."

Karla slanted a grin at her. "Don't worry, no one's ever heard of my home, either. And it's an entire world that no one's heard of."

"Well, maybe people could visit it?" Hayley said. "Like you visited New Gotham?"

"I'm planning on putting together a trip home sometime," Karla said, nodding. "There are so many places I want everyone to see: Sceval, SaDiablo Hall, Amdarh..."

If she didn't actually mention her own home Territory, she doubted Hayley would notice.

"Well, I'd love to see it," Hayley said. "Though I guess that's kinda forward of me to say, since I only just met ya."

"I guess we'll have to work on being better friends before I schedule my trip then," Karla teased.

Karla was really the last person to take anyone to task about being forward.

"Oh, that sounds like a great idea," Hayley said. "I always like havin' more friends."

"And stop by my booth at the cultural fair, all right?" Karla suggested. "It'll be fun!"
