Friday Ethics Class #2, 8-10am

[brambless.livejournal.com]

Tara looks excited, as students trickle in, bouncing slightly on the balls of her feet.

"Okay, we've got a lot to get through today. Two announcements to start:

First, Teacher's Assistants have been chosen. I have a carrot - Major K! - and a stick - Angelus. If you're having trouble grasping a concept, talk to Major K!. He'll guide you through the thinking. If you think you've got a hold on it, talk to Angelus. He'll challenge your thinking, give you the opportunity to clarify your position.

Second, and related to the latter - this class is not an easy A. At some point in this course you will find yourself challenged and confronted. For many of you, that will be today. If you walk out of this classroom before class is over, and without checking it with me, I may be understandably upset. However, I recognise that if you get angry or upset, you may need some time alone, or away from the group. To that end, I present to you the Emo Closet Time Out Room." She walks to the back of the classroom and opens the door to what previously was a supply cabinet. Inside is what looks very much like a white padded room. "This room is soundproofed. You can cry, scream and punch things all you want, and I will not penalise you for leaving the class or the discussion. Major K! or I will come to check on anyone who goes to the Emo Closet Time Out Room, in case you need help or support. Feel free to tell us to leave you alone.

Now, we've got our first debate to hear, a discussion topic to... um, discuss, and your first out of class assignment. Which you are going to kill, or at least seriously maim, me for giving you.

"Ms MacLay? I...I can't. I can't do this to him." Phoebe's voice is shaking. "If I have to fail, so be it. But I will not do this to him."

Re: Assignment: Pairings

ooc: Bel was supposed to be the Master. I typed it wrong. Can you mentally swap them around? I can't figure out how to edit the comment without deleting it and that'll make everything confusing. Given that, does Phoebe's reaction change?

Re: Assignment: Pairings

[sensethevisions]

OOC: Yes, her reaction would change in that instance. She trusts him implicitly.

Re: Assignment: Pairings

[brambless.livejournal.com]

"Alright, Phoebe. Does your feeling change if he is the Master, and you the slave?"

Re: Assignment: Pairings

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looks from Tara to Cole and then back to Tara. "Yes," she says softly. "If he would prefer to be in the Master position, I can accept that."

Re: Assignment: Pairings

Angelus gives Tara a quizzical look as one of the pairings is rattled off. He passes her a note (http://www.livejournal.com/users/notsouledyet/16253.html?thread=452477#t452477).

Re: Assignment: Pairings

[ooc: was copy & posting too fast and screwed up. A Lot. Fixing in character between Phoebe and Bel - Phoebe's not comfortable Mastering, have 'allowed' them to swap. You may mock me at your leisure. Feel free to react IC, but recognise it's being fixed IC as we speak.]

[ooc: Gotcha.]

Logan grins and winks at Parker.

Re: Assignment: Pairings

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus gave Logan a small hi sign from in the midst of his various conversations.

Re: Assignment: Pairings

Parker's look should kill him dead on the spot. The look she turns on Angelus is no more friendly.

Added to list QUINN / BRIDGE

[ooc: Sorry you two, somehow had you on my Monday class list. Am bad. Will never post again before getting child to sleep.]

Re: Assignment: Pairings

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Since Rory showed up to the Monday class, is that why she's not on the list? Because I can throw her in on Monday again to do this, but I want her in the Friday session.]

Re: Assignment: Pairings

[brambless.livejournal.com]

[ooc: she's in the Friday session for good, but still partnered with someone in the Monday one. Uneven numbers and last minute changes don't mix. Sorry! Consider her fully informed about the assignment, however, and if she wants to approach Chiana before Monday she's welcome to. I suspect rumours will be *flying* around campus.]

Beka took one look at Logan's grin and stalked, without a word, into the Time Out room. On her way past Tara and Angelus, she glared, seething and shaking. "I'll come out when I can make sure no one dies."

Re: Assignment: Pairings

[brambless.livejournal.com]

Taking a deep breath, Tara opens the Time Out door. "Beka?" she calls softly. "Can I talk to you?"

Re: Assignment: Pairings (Late to Class)

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Lisa comes into class late, still a little blissed out on cough syrup and feeling ill. "Ummm... Cameron?"

Re: Assignment: Pairings (Late to Class)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"We should talk," Cameron says as he just returned from checking up on Janet. He clearly didn't look happy about any of this, but he was a bit calmer already.

Re: Assignment: Pairings

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge looks at his partner's name and gulps, hoping she's forgiven him for- or at least forgotten about- kind of abandoning her at homecoming.

Cameron

[brambless.livejournal.com]

When Cameron comes back to the class, Tara meets his eyes, questioningly. "Cameron? Have you made a decision?"

Re: Cameron

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'm afraid I can't do this. I talked to Lisa and she said she didn't mind if I dropped the assignment." Cameron replies.
