Ethics [Thursday, October 1, 1st 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."

A genetic trait, apparently.

Karla looked up at his admission, reaching out to place a comforting hand on his arm. Then she bit her lip and dropped her arm back to her side. It wasn't her place to do that.

Though she did send out the smallest tendril of warmth and understanding. "I'm sorry," she said quietly. "In Kaeleer, slavery hadn't existed for over fifty-thousand years."

"Glacia used to be," Karla said, refusing to turn and look with him. "That I can no longer say the same--hurts."

"I am not pleased about all the parallels between our worlds sometimes," Karla said. "It's amazing how much things can change, and so quickly."
