Ethics office hours

Tara's in her office bright and early for office hours although once Spider Jerusalem gets back to her with an appointment time she's closing up shop.

"Sure, Logan," Tara replies easily. "Is this in Master role, or out of it?"
fh_jackass: Logan Echolls (Peace)

"Not sure," Logan said. "Parker's been having some trouble with the slave role."

Tara nods. "I'll assume in role, then, if you're coming on Parker's behalf. Take a seat and tell me what's going on."

Logan sits down. "She's not playing along," he says.

Tara takes a seat across from Logan in the circle, and crosses her legs. "Explain what you mean by that, please. What guidelines have the two of you set out?"

"I gave her the key to my house, and offered her full use of the place for the week, and since it's just a tad nicer than the dorms, figured she'd appreciate it. Also arranged for her to eat at Luke's on me, anytime this week. All I asked of her is that she be nice to me and my friends. And she wouldn't even do that!"

"Sounds like you've been doing the taking care of her well. Would you like to explain to me how she ended up in the clinic?" Tara smiles sweetly. "Rabbit let me know last night. I assume you've just come from there, of course."
fh_jackass: Logan Echolls (Hmm...)

[personal profile] fh_jackass 2005-10-25 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
"She has an ulcer, apparently," Logan says. "I figured that since my mere presence causes her stress, it would be best if I avoided the clinic for today."

[identity profile] brambless.livejournal.com 2005-10-25 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Fair enough," Tara replies, inclining her head. "Did she tell you about the ulcer? And what caused her to end up in the clinic?"

[personal profile] fh_jackass 2005-10-25 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Logan shook his head. "I didn't know about it until she started vomiting blood."

[identity profile] brambless.livejournal.com 2005-10-25 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay," Tara nods. "So tell me about the bit where she was being difficult. Before the blood vomiting started. What did you ask her to do, and how did she respond?"
fh_jackass: Logan Echolls (Elegance)

"All I asked her to do was say something positive about vampires for our journalism project," Logan said. "Not build the Great Pyramids or anything. And she just kept spewing out insults. I finally told her to forget this assignment and I'd figure something else for her to do, and she flipped out."

[identity profile] brambless.livejournal.com 2005-10-25 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
"You remember the morally objectionable clause?" Tara grins wryly. "Sounds like that one tripped hers. She should have just said so, though, instead of 'flipping out', as you say. What's your safeword, by the way?"
fh_jackass: Logan Echolls (Serious)

[personal profile] fh_jackass 2005-10-25 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
"She suggested 'Lorelai,'" Logan said. "And yeah, I figured. That's why I suggested that we do something else, when I realized that this really wasn't working for her."

[identity profile] brambless.livejournal.com 2005-10-25 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Tara bites her lip, thinking for a moment. "Well, if Parker's really having that much trouble with it... how about you swap? I mean, you seem to be trying really hard on this assignment, I wouldn't want you to be penalised because your partner's not playing fair."
fh_jackass: Logan Echolls (Serious)

[personal profile] fh_jackass 2005-10-25 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Logan nodded. "That might be for the best. Who did you have in mind for me to switch with?"

[identity profile] brambless.livejournal.com 2005-10-25 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Tara blinks, surprised. "With Parker. Obviously she's not comfortable letting someone else take the control, and I'm sure it doesn't matter to you which role you take. If she's happy to switch roles, are you good with that?"
fh_jackass: Logan Echolls (Worried)

[personal profile] fh_jackass 2005-10-25 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Logan considered this. "Honestly, I wouldn't trust her at this point. She's vindictive, and she's furious with both Angelus and me. She might do something harmful just to get back at us."

[identity profile] brambless.livejournal.com 2005-10-25 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
"I certainly wouldn't want to put you in a position you were uncomfortable with, Logan," Tara assures him. "But you're allowed to say no to anything that you feel is unsafe on physical, emotional and psychological grounds. Technically, she has only the power you let her have."
fh_jackass: Logan Echolls (Emo Logan)

[personal profile] fh_jackass 2005-10-25 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Logan picked at a bit of dirt beneath his fingernail. Finally, he nodded. "Okay," he said. "I'll switch."

[identity profile] brambless.livejournal.com 2005-10-25 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Tara beams at him. "That's great, Logan. Thank you for being so cooperative about this. I'll check with Parker to make sure she's fine with that, and let you know."
