Ethics [Thursday, February 17, 1st period]

When the students arrived in the Danger Shop, they found themselves standing in front of an enormous fountain before a giant building.

"Welcome to the Bellagio in Las Vegas," Anakin said with a tiny smile. "Today's lesson is about the sin of gluttony, or overindulge." His hand waved to encompass the sight before them. "In other words, it's pretty much what Las Vegas exists for. Go inside and explore--there is a buffet of more kinds of food than should be legally allowed, and places that promise riches for very little effort. You get a half hour, then return here and we will discuss why this sort of place is so appealing."

Explore the Bellagio!

Eat until you're stuffed! Gamble until you're rich! (Anakin has rigged the machines so you'll win steadily for the first twenty minutes, then lose your shirt in the last ten.)

Peter knew how to count cards. And while it was hard to do so without a spotter, he was going to murder at Blackjack.

Then, when things started going really sour and he'd lost a good chunk of his winnings on plays that he felt shouldn't have, he stopped while he was ahead.

Even if it was fake money, he was going to practice some restraint, since that seemed the topic du jour.

Katniss would never ever ever turn down free food, especially when it was this good. Much as when she had been in the Capitol, she promised herself that she'd just try a little of everything.

That didn't work out well, and she felt sluggish and slow by the time she began making her way back.
