Ethics [Tuesday, March 23, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

Today Anakin's desk was covered with droid babies in bassinets. Each baby had a tiny stuffed Ewok tucked next to it. Hush.

"Today we talk about lust," Anakin said, pulling his attention back from the wall he'd been staring at, trying to get a handle on a bad feeling he'd been having since stepping foot on the island yesterday. "Or rather, the unintended consequences that can happen when you take action without precautions."

He smiled. Evilly. Some of his lesson plans might have changed this semester, but he had been looking forward to the droid babies with something close to unholy glee this go-around. "Meet your little projects for the next week. They're heavy, they cry, and they will record everything you do with them. So if you stuff them into a closet for the duration, believe me, I'll know."

After all, he'd built all of them.

He reached for a list of paper. "I've paired you up together." His smile turned a little more evil. "And some of your babies are a little fussier than others."

Listen to the lecture [3/23]

[sith_happened]

Ahh, droid babies. Aren't they cute and not at all creepy?

Was Bruce giving a death glare throughout the lecture? Why yes, yes he was.

Re: Listen to the lecture [3/23]

[bitchprince]

"What?"

...

Really, Anakin, did you really think you could improve upon what years of lectures about muddying the succession had done to Arthur's conception of 'sleeping with women'?

He just stared. "Technically," he started, sensibly, "...this isn't supposed to be a problem until I get married."

Bod...didn't know what to make of this. He could barely take care of himself sometimes so he was a little skeptical about being entrusted with something like this.

Claire was not too keen on the idea of taking care of a fake baby for an entire week.

Re: Listen to the lecture [3/23]

Dru was on edge. She couldn't decide if the pain in her head was due to the previous night's drinking or if it was something more otherworldly. The fog on the way to class had given her a bad case of the heebie jeebies.

Andy wasn't sure if this was entirely fair. After all, he'd be able to do stuff with a real baby that wouldn't work on a robot. He wasn't sure he wanted to think about taking care of a kid without that little ace in the hole.

Pair #1: Griffin O'Conner (TA) & Effy Stonem

[sith_happened]

And your handsome little screaming boy.

Re: Pair #1: Griffin O'Conner (TA) & Effy Stonem

Oh, right, they would have the loud one, wouldn't they?

Effy was hardly the expert at dealing with babies, and even less of an expert at dealing with electronic ones. Maybe Griff was secretly the paternal type... A girl could hope.

In the meantime, "Got any bright ideas on shutting it up, dad?" She could take her amusement from teasing her new fake babydaddy. Making him flail was a pastime.

Pair #2: Andy Gallagher & Claire Bennet

[sith_happened]

And your little girl!

Re: Pair #2: Andy Gallagher & Claire Bennet

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Okay, at least they got a girl. Claire was now considering going shopping for cute little outfits.

Maybe even a wee baby cheerleading outfit.

"So, what should we call her?" she asked her partner.

Pair #3: Arthur Pendragon & Illyria

[sith_happened]

And your baby boy!

Re: Pair #3: Arthur Pendragon & Illyria

[bitchy_smurf]

Illyria eyed the thing with distaste and no small amount of confusion. "It's a--" Robot was conveniently supplied for her, complete with Texas accent; out of spite she reached for "--golem," instead.

Pair #4: Bruce Wayne & Jean Grey

[sith_happened]

And your little girl!

Re: Pair #4: Bruce Wayne & Jean Grey

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Bruce's girlfriend was a bird and they had a droid baby to take care of.

He didn't hate everything right now, but he did hate a lot.

Pair #5: Calvin & Dru Anderson

[sith_happened]

And your screaming baby boy!

Re: Pair #5: Calvin & Dru Anderson

[not_tylerdurden]

Calvin was just going to stare at the baby while he tried to decide if it was disturbing, awesome, or awesomely disturbing.

Pair #6: Dan Humphrey & Leia Organa

[sith_happened]

And your twin boy and girl.

Oh, really, like you didn't see that coming.

Re: Pair #6: Dan Humphrey & Leia Organa

[imonscholarship.livejournal.com]

No, Dan did not see that coming. He did not see that coming at all. "Why do we have to have two kids?"

Judging you so hard right now, Anakin.

Pair #7: Jacob Black & Nobody Owens

[sith_happened]

And your baby girl!

Re: Pair #7: Jacob Black & Nobody Owens

[therewaslife]

Bod was holding onto his skepticism as he eyed the small droid thing.

Pair #8: Layla Miller & Zack Fair

[sith_happened]

Unless Layla knew this was coming...

There's still a baby boy waiting for you!

Re: Pair #8: Layla Miller & Zack Fair

[puppy_fair]

"Awwwww," Zack said, leaning forward to scoop up the baby. Droid. Baby droid. "It's cute."

It was perhaps very fortunate that SOLDIERs didn't need as much sleep as your usual human being. Because Zack was going to be sleeping far less than usual, this week.

Talk to the TA [3/23]

[sith_happened]

Unless he's already busy being a fake dad.

Re: Talk to the TA [3/23]

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

Griff would rather not talk to anyone, especially the cruel professor who assigned tasks like this to people not dealing with the actions that caused these consequences, thanks.

Talk to Anakin [3/23]

[sith_happened]

No, he won't babysit, Leia.

Or lend you a protocol droid.

Re: Talk to Anakin [3/23]

[likes_scoundrels]

"You think you're funny, don't you?" Of course Leia had to go over to her father to present the bitchface.

OOC

[sith_happened]

My favorite class of the year :D

Re: OOC

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Please to excuse Jean from class. She is a bird.

...and should totally get a free pass because she already has a kid, kthnx.
