Ethics Class [Thursday, January 12, 2012, 1st period]

[sith_happened]

This class had been a big hit (if you weren't Topher) last semester, so Anakin was bringing it back. Welcome to floating on dingies in the middle of nowhere, class!

There were set into groups of three and four, and though they were in the Danger Shop, they couldn't see any of their other classmates or land, only endless water.

Anakin's voice came over the speaker system: "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 you have in the boat and any powers you and they might possess. 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.

Ryan opened her mouth to suggest that the others probably wouldn't want to eat her because she had a parasitic infection. But she quickly decided against that. No need to give away her secret over a classroom simulation.

"I have a small knife, and I know how to gut a fish if we can catch one," she suggested. "But getting fresh water might be a higher priority. We'll die of thirst before dying of hunger."

"And no guarantee we'll catch any fish, so we can't rely on that for a water source," Gabrielle agreed. Traveling around with Xena taught you all kinds of interesting if supremely icky survival techniques. She tapped a finger against her lips, felt her stomach lurch with the boat's bobbing, and quickly started tapping at the pressure point on her wrist instead. What were the odds she'd end up eating raw squid this time, anyway?

"Right. Do any of you have any powers we can use in a situation like this? Barring that, something we can use to trap condensation from the night air?"

Dorothy shook her head. "I don't even have pockets in this dress," she admitted. "I suppose I could tear some of the fabric off, if we could use that?"

Her survival techniques involved such things as 'lunchpail trees' and 'letting other people deal with the issue of food'.

Ryan shook her head as well. "I know some survival skills for living in the rainforest, but I don't think we'll find a lot of coconuts out here."
