[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Quiz! For those not in the know, Tick's quizzes deal in general knowledge, hypothetical situations, and metaphor. Big shock, isn't it? Have fun. Please get them done by Saturday, but I'll accept any turned in before next Tuesday. All good? Good. Class Info Post.]

The Tick was standing by his desk when the class walked in. Lockheed was back in his usual spot, holding a cup of soup and slurping loudly at random moments. He of course kept this up until the last person handed in their quiz.

"Welcome, class! Congratulations on surviving after Tuesday's class. Today you have your first quiz for Justice this semester! Hopefully Karma is smiling at us in earnest and you'll all do just fine on the quiz and return safely to class next Tuesday. Good luck!"

Tick then handed out the quizzes.

1. Bugs Bunny: What is his deal, in terms of Justice?

2. Imagine two puppies quarrelling. Would your usual methods of negotiation/force to stop the fight still be applied? How would things change?

3. Explain the difference between Vengence and Justice with a metaphor involving the common farm animal of your choice.

EC. Please write a brief descriptive paragraph using a comparison between Justice, squirrels and the color blue.

1. Bugs Bunny: What is his deal, in terms of Justice?
Bugs Bunny is using the powers he has to effect the galaxy around him in a capricious and irresponsible manner. That his punishments often line up with what could traditional be considered Justice is more coincidence than design. Master Bunny should be shipped off to the Jedi Temple for a few months of hard lessons about what manner of responsibilities go with phenomenal cosmic such potentially reality-altering powers.

2. Imagine two puppies quarrelling. Would your usual methods of negotiation/force to stop the fight still be applied? How would things change?

Judging from my experience with puppies like Vladdie and Sean, getting them to sit down at a negotiating table at all would be completely out of the question. So would any form of aggressive negotiation. They could be distracted using shiny objects like glitter and will possibly forget the entire altercation happened at all. In the event of some deep dislike, well, sometimes beings don't like each other. I would do my best to make sure that they didn't come into close proximity to each other in order to reduce the risk of violence.

3. Explain the difference between Vengence and Justice with a metaphor involving the common farm animal of your choice.

The domestic nerfs of Alderaan, when properly supervised, are much like Justice. They go about their nerf-y tasks (I'm a Jedi, not a nerfherder, what the hell do know about what nerfs do?) and no one pays any attention because the system is working. It's only when Society, represented by the nerfherder, looks away from the herd that they can turn to Vengeance, trampling all in their path for, I don't know, whatever nerfs would trample nerfherders to ge to. Then you have a bruised and broken Society and Justice running amok, possibly ruining some kind of rare plant life.

EC. Please write a brief descriptive paragraph using a comparison between Justice, squirrels and the color blue.

Justice is like a serene lake in Naboo full of calm blue water. If the lake is managed well enough, a few squirrels throwing nuts into it--the members of society who just can't leave beautiful things alone, if you would--will not disrupt the lake. Of course, if there's an evil lake monster who has been hiding under the cover of Lake Justice only waiting for its moment to rampage through the countryside of Society, well, we're all screwed then, aren't we?
