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.

Like your teacher wants you to eat someone.

Or the not-very-helpful instructions.

Lex Luthor, Hanna Marin, Kenzi & Peter Wiggin.

Toby Logan, Jack Carter, Lucrezia Borgia, Petra West, and Tony Stark.

Angelia Jones, Jocelyn Fairchild, Luke Castellan, and Princess Rosella of Daventry.

Annie Edison, Juliet Darling, Mercy Thompson, Richie Ryan and a lemur that's usually Topher Brink.

Anakin has included the nutritional information of lemurs in the boat just to be thorough.

Hank Venture, Katniss Everdeen, Nathan Young, and Seifer Almasy.

After class--he's nowhere to be found beforehand.

Slowplay is win, especially with this many people across so many timezones and availabilities!

Lex Luthor

For some unknown reason, Lex had the oddest feeling of deja vu.

He pulled off his jacket and used it as a makeshift shade. Sunburn, even the simulated kind, was even less fun when you were bald.

Nathan Young

There was no fucking way Nathan was going first. No fucking way. He could maybe be convinced to eat someone if he were high on something really fucking powerful but with his immortality, getting eaten probably wouldn't be a bad thing since he'd come back.

Still, he wasn't letting that happen and was sitting in a spot where he could keep an eye on everyone lest they make a move unexpectedly.

Annie Edison

So... okay, this was probably the weirdest class Annie had been in yet, just for the subject matter. Ignore that she'd taken a summer of zombies class and was on her second class with the talking pony. Eating someone had never been considered in those. Not getting eaten, sure, but...

"Where did he get the nutritional information of lemurs?" Annie wondered.

Because sorry, Topher, you were so going to be the first to go, no matter what the caloric content.

Juliet Darling

"Is there another choice?" Juliet wondered. "Maybe we could teach him to swim and he'd be a fishing lemur."

It would be cute, and, anyhow, Juliet did not want to eat monkey.

Jack Carter

Kenzi

"I don't know about you guys," Jack said as he sat down in the boat. "But I'd prefer not to eat anyone. I don't suppose anyone has a fishing pole?"

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.

Peter Wiggin

"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."

Peter... had gotten a little carried away writing this morning. In his defense, writing a peace treaty that was supposed to restore the entire planet to political and military stability kind of took precedence over Ethics class, at least in his opinion.

He came to a pause two steps into the Danger Shop, and blinked at the ocean. "...Okay then."

"Sorry, guys, what did I miss?" Peter asked, when he arrived... from elsewhere, about ten minutes after everyone else had long since gotten to the whole shipwrecked business.
