Philosophy classroom: Ethics class #3, Monday, 2-4pm

[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.]




"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."

Angela didn't do the assignment, so she doesn't take a cookie.

She couldn't eat, anyhow.

Her wings are not the most comfortable thing to sit in a desk chair while wearing.

Tara quirks an eyebrow at Angela's wings, and smothers a grin. "Still Halloween," she observes quietly.

[ooc: which means I get to use my own spiffy Halloween icon again. Because it's so perdy.]

Angela manages a weak smile. "I kind of didn't make it to the ball last night, so no one saw my costume, and ... I feel like being someone else for the day, you know?"

[OOC: It is! Excellent manip.]

"It's a wonderful costume," Tara smiles back, encouragingly. She bites her lip, and adds "'come as you aren't'" quietly. "So, angel-girl, who do you want to be today?"

Angela blushes. "I guess ... I like the idea of being completely good and innocent but extremely powerful at the same time, you know? I know there's a bunch of corny angel stuff, but the idea itself doesn't seem corny." Angela realizes how serious her answer sounds and switches her tone, embarassed. "Or maybe I just wanted to walk around with wings and long hair for a day."

Tara's eyes are soft as she replies, "It's not corny, Angela. Being the light without the shadow..." she smiles a little, closing her eyes for a moment. "What a lovely thing to be, even for a day."

"You look beautiful, Angela," Shane says, her tone both appreciative and reassuring as she smiles. She pulls her oft-chewed pen from her pocket and taps it idly on the desktop as she slouches in her seat .

"Thank you," Angela says to both Tara and Shane.
