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

[sith_happened]

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.

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."
