Ethics [Tuesday, September 18, 2012]

"Pop quiz time," Anakin said, holding up a stack of papers. "Please take this test and then we'll compare our results to the national average. Let's see how ethical Fandom is in comparison to the rest of the country."

Not counting certain Republican presidential candidates...Anakin'd had to turn off his cell phone so that Rory's (irate, but amusing) texts wouldn't interrupt class this morning.

Sorry, class, he's been a little distracted by cynicism.

Hello, TA!

Hello, teacher!

Questions snagged from here!

Atton Rand

Korra

Man, Korra did badly enough on poop quizzes when she already had more than a month's familiarity with the language they were written in.

Really? They were doing this now?

A.

A.

Atton didn't see the point in lying about being an unethical bastard.

A.

Really now.

Atton dotted in an easy C.

Like he cared.

Sparkle

a. Y.
b. N.
c. What, like this one?
d. N.
e. N.
f. Wouldn't you like to know?

Yeah, Sparkle was raising an eyebrow at this test, and then shaking his head. Whatever.

A.

Exaggerating was something that Sparkle did. He didn't see why it should be any different on a job application. Though he was contemplating exaggerating what sort of a person he was, here.

Nah. Screw it.

A.

Duh.

A.

It wasn't like the people who already were ahead would hold themselves back to when it came to staying there.
