Ethics [Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 1st period]

Today's class was taking place in the Danger Shop where there wasn't a desk to be found: only a cloudless day, a beating sun and apparent kilometers of oceans surrounding five small dingies that were neatly labeled with four or five students' names, or in one case, four students and one lemur.

Anakin's voice came over the speaker system: "Welcome to your first practical Ethics class. You've all been shipwrecked. In a moment, the dingy you're in will be the only thing you will see. There is no land for hundreds of kilometers, no fresh water, and you've run out of food. The only resources you have are the other people--or in one case, the people and lemur--you have in the boat. Will you turn to cannibalism? If so, who will be the first to go?"

Hope you weren't hungry for breakfast, class.

"Again, if you'd prefer not to participate in this class, shake your head strongly and you will be taken out of the simulation."

With that the students were apparently left to their own devices.

Kenzi looked at her fellow students, then the water. "Please tell me one of you has a superpower to create food. Somehow." She had one idea. And it was gross.

"Food's less important than water," Lex said. "Unless someone happens to have a pocket desalinator handy, we'll have all died from dehydration before cannibalism becomes an issue."

"Thanks, Lex. That's... reassuring. If we drink each other's blood, we might last longer." Okay, ick. It was out there.

Lex shook his head. "It'd just make the dehydration worse." He'd gone through a Dafoe phase a few years back and looked this kind of thing up. Just in case.

"Crap." Kenzi said, glaring around at all that water. "So, we can't eat each other, not that I want to, and we can't drink each other, and... what was the point of this, again?"

"I don't suppose we have the materials to make a still?" Lex finally suggested.

Kenzi blinked, patting herself down, then shrugged. "You tell me. What do we need?"

Lex racked his brain for details. "Clear plastic for a start. Lots of it."

Kenzi looked at her Goth outfit, she looked at her purse, she frowned and asked, "Does a black vinyl bustier work instead? How about some knee-high boots?" Hey, clothes could be sacrificed to a good cause. It wasn't like she wasn't wearing layers.

"More than that."

She looked from Peter to Lex to Hanna, and growled. "Okay. One of you has to turn into a set of human oars so we can find freaking land."
