Friday Ethics Class #2, 8-10am

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.

"I can do flowers," Angelus said. "How about food? Is there a restaurant in town that you like? Soft, too. In case someone was pressed up against them for some reason."

"Haven't really checked any out. Not much of a foodie. Back home isn't exactly the height of culture and sophistication. Nifty. Even though I can't possibly think of a reason someone might be pressed against them."

"Deb's diner seems to be a favorite," Angelus said. "Not the fanciest place around but as far as I know nobody who's eaten there has turned into a frog. I could place a standing order for you to have any meal you wanted delivered to your door. You know we could test how soft they were. For the safety of our fellow students, of course."

"Deb's the one who made the cookies for the JA meeting right? And anything that keeps me away from cafeteria food is useful. We could. But thorough testing takes time, and I have so many things I have to be doing today. Another time perhaps?"

"Correct," Angelus said. "And I know she does deliveries. I'll make the arrangements. Can't have my girl starving. When you're right you're right. Count on that raincheck though."

"Excellent, ready supplies of bribes are always handy. I'm touched. Of course."

"Bribes, rewards, six of one, half-dozen of the other I'll do what I can to make myself publically available," Angelus said. "Study Hall, common room, the like. Start whenever you're ready and I'll follow your lead. You could be."

"You'll know when I'm ready. There will possibly be robes involved, just saying. I'll see you around. Sir."

Callisto winks at Angelus and leaves the Emo Closet Timeout Room.
