fandomhigh | Magical Ethics: Week 2, Period 1

Alysha sat at her desk as the students came in, flipping through what might've looked like an art book if any of the students looked closerly.

She looked up right as the clock flipped to eight. "Everyone have their coffee today?" she asked. "Or, I dunno, gone for a run to wake up?" Screw running, ugh.

"Just so everyone knows, Edmund Pevensie and Tony Foster are the TAs for this class. Which means if you have a question, they might be able to help with it, and if I'm not around, they'll get to run the class from my notes." She grinned. "Hopefully both gentlemen can read chicken scratching."

She stood up, moving around to the front of the desk and leaned back against it. "I said last week we'd get to introductions, and here we are. What I'd like to hear from all of you is your name, your class, and two things you can do better than other people. Can be magic or special abilities, doesn't have to be and one thing you're bad at. So - I'm Alysha Gale which most of you should already know. I'm 24 which means I already had to deal with high school, and I bake the best rhubarb pie in my family -" wow, Auntie Ruby would argue with that, but she wasn't there "- and I can identify just about any Sumerian artifact out there." Thank you, ROM and your crappy grant funding. "I'm pretty crap at making potions."

"Also I want to know what you think the worst thing a person can do is."

Because that was really the kicker sometimes.

She pointed to a random student. "You first."

As you do.

Or chat, take or pass notes.

Name, age, two things you can do better than other people, one thing you're bad at.

And the worst thing a person could do.

(might as well save the kicker for the end, huh?)

Once they ping in.

Because she's there before and after class.

I should be around though there may be insanity if

atreideslioness keeps poking me.

LIKE THAT.

Karla

*pokes you both*

NOT DIRTY

NO WITH THE POKINGS!

Karla was having a hard time thinking of two things she was the best at. She was good at a lot of things, but not really 'the best.' Not if she was including Kaeleer in her considerations. If so, there was the honest (and sometimes painful) fact that Jaenelle was and always would be better than Karla at Craft. She was Witchfor the Darkness's sake! Jaenelle was better at all the things Karla defined herself by.

"My name is Karla and I'm 15. I'm the best at tormenting my cousin and playing cradle," most pathetic 'bests' ever "and I'm bad at being a lady."

As for the worst thing a person could do..."I think the worst thing someone can do is to twist and destroy others solely, especially for profit or ambition. To break their minds and their spirits--never mind whatever they do to the flesh--until that person is lost in the Twisted Kingdom, unable to ever be whole again. Killing is kinder."

Leda

"I'm Leda. And uh...I'm really good at ~~screwing up my life~~ surviving on the street and scrounging for supplies. I'm not very good at taking orders. And the worst thing you can do is ~~turn someone into a dog~~ violate someone's free will."

"Hi Leda. Why would you need to take orders?" Alysha asked. "Are you a solider?"

"Good to have you in class, Karla. What's cradle?" Alysha asked, giving a bit of a smile at that description of Karla tormenting her cousin. Alysha understood that one, yes. "And what is the Twisted Kingdom to be lost in?"

"No but Elven parents aren't really the type to let kids make their own decisions. They tend to just tell the kids what they're gonna do."

阿祖拉
Azula, Princess of the Fire Nation

"Cradle is a card game we play in Kaeleer," Karla explained. "It's very complicated to learn because there are a bunch rules--especially when you start introducing variations. As for the Twisted Kingdom," Karla's face clouded "it's my people's term for madness. To walk in the Twisted Kingdom means to be insane, to travel the landscape of one's own broken mind."

Introductions again. How wonderful.

"Princess Azula," she began, the speech almost rote. "Sixteen. I'm the best at leading an invasion, I'm an even better Firebender. People claim I do not play well with others."

Or stay sane but she wasn't going to advertise that.

"I'd consider you a worm beneath my boot if you betray the Fire Nation."

The one crime, really, Azula can't forgive. Lie, cheat, scheme for the Fire Nation but never against it.

Liz Sherman

Tara Maclay

There was a little hedgehog perched on Tara's desk, and she glanced at it before answering. She spoke softly and slowly to minimize her stutter.

"Tara Maclay," she began. "S-sixteen. I'm good at reading auras and taking care of people. I'm n-not very good at public speaking."

This was self-evident.

"I think the worst thing someone could do is lie to someone they say they love about something important."

Griffin O'Conner

Having thought getting away for a while would make all the sharing Ethics seemed so keen on better, Griff was both tan and disappointed this week to discover the sharing was still uncomfortable.

"I'm Griffin, sixteen, and I'm quicker than most and decent at drawing." Not so bad, he could deal. "I'm terrible at cooking, even after a class in it, and the worst thing a person can do is not be there when needed."

"I'm Liz Sherman and I'm 17," Liz said when it was her turn, "I'm good at photography and learning, I'm not really good with being in a crowd,"

In response to the question she replied, "I think the worst thing a person can do is deliberately hurt someone for their own enjoyment,"
