Friday Ethics Class #3, 8-10am

[brambless.livejournal.com]

Two boxes sit on Tara's desk. One is filled with homemade cookies, with a small placard labelled 'To all those who attempted the assignment - help yourselves!'. The other is a bin to return the Master/slave badges at the end of the class.

Tara smiles as the students settle down.

"I told you last week that part of the point of this assignment was to separate out the issues of slavery and abuse. There are many, many issues with slavery, even without abusive elements attached, and I want to tell you how proud I am of all of you for attempting the assignment - especially those of you who were uncomfortable with it. I have a lot I want to say, but I'm going to bite my tongue and let you all speak, first. Tell me about your experiences with the assignment - what was challenging for you? What was easier than you thought it would be? Do you have any insights you would like to share?"

[ooc: If you would provide linkage to any RPed assignment bits and pieces, I would be forever grateful when it comes time for grading. Also, those of you who made icons? I adore you, and worship your icon-fu.]


Before class lets out, Tara makes a short announcement.

"I would not ask anything of you that I am unwilling to do myself - including act as a slave. Anyone who completed the assignment is eligible to 'win' me as a slave, under the same terms of the assignment as you performed. I realise many of you are probably glad that this is over, but if you are interested, or want revenge, please put your name down on the sheet provided. I will post this as a voting list, and the involved parties will decide as a class who is to Master me, and what is to be done with me."

[ooc: Off to bed. Play nicely, see you all in the morning. Um, my morning. *as usual, kicks stupid timezones*]

Angelus, who himself was dressed a bit nicer than his usual (much like Tuesday) and who was still annoyingly chipper, passed by Callisto to aim a flick at her ear.

Before it could connect, though, he paused, tilting his head as he looked at her with puzzlement. "When did you become Mormon?"

"Mor-who?" Callisto offers Angelus the trenchcoat. "Oh, the clothes. Widow Twanky doesn't really go for the whole leather look, and much as I do so want to hear her lecture me on the subject, I think I'll take a pass on it."

"Well that sucks," Angelus said with sympathy. He held the coat up. "Sure you don't want to keep it until after the weekend? Hide the shame of wearing white?"

"Sure Darla won't get possessive and try to eat me? Sir is far too kind to me." Callisto holds her hand to her heart.

"I keep telling you I think she'll like you I'm known for my kindness," Angelus grinned as he took a seat. "Also the way I look in a great pair of pants."

"Fine, just remember if she ends up killing me, I'm coming after you. Going to get the 'Evil' badge changed then?" Callisto smirks. "Somebody's in a good mood today. I wonder why that could be."

"Like I'm not distracted enough without picturing how hot you'd look in game face Moi?" Angelus pretended innocence. "I can't imagine. Is my mood not always upbeat and filled with love for humanity?"

Re: Before class starts

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Oh distracted's what they're calling it nowadays? Do you really want me to answer that?"

"Huh? You say something? When you're right you're right," Angelus said. "So when's your visitor getting in town?"

Shakes head "No idea, for all I know she's already terrorising the populace."

"Your family likes to do that too?"

Re: Before class starts

"Not in the same way yours does. This is more of a psychological attack."

Re: Before class starts

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"We do those too," Angelus said. "We're just not against involving knives if we have to."

Re: Before class starts

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Do you involve musical numbers too?"

Re: Before class starts

Angelus looked horrified. "Oh God no."

Re: Before class starts

Callisto nods "In Widow Twanky's case, Oh gods yes."

"You poor thing," Angelus said with full feeling.
