Ethics [Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 1st period]

"There is a saying on this planet that before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes and that way you're a mile away and have their shoes," Anakin began, holding a piece of paper in his hands.

Do you have a bad feeling about this class? Do you?

"In that spirit, I have paired each of you up with a classmate. Your assignment over the next week is to spend two days together, one for each student. You'll show how you live, what you're studying and what you do with your spare time in an effort to foster understanding of the various cultures and backgrounds that are pushed together here in Fandom. Your other teachers have been given notification of this assignment as well, so don't worry about interrupting their classes with your new shadows."

He glanced at the paper. "There are 17 of you in this class , which means that the odd person out is paired with me. Congratulations, Ulrik, that's you."

Hope you enjoy children, Ulrik...

"The rest of you, please listen for your names, then go meet up with your new friend." Because he knew how Fandom students could be, he added, "Actually wearing their shoes is not necessary."

Anakin then read off the following pairs because the RNG is cruel:

Jessica Drew & Korra
Miriam Black & Sholeh Zeela a Zhahar
Anakin Solo & Matt Murdock
Chaz Villette & Bucky Katt
Stannis Baratheon & Peeta Mellark
Marasiah Fel & Atton Rand
Alec Lightwood & Minako Aino
Sparkle & Jim Kirk

"We had, like, one talk at the welcome picnic, he made it clear that he thought I was some kind of freak," Sparkle replied, shrugging. "Maybe I'll check up on him again sometime. You know, throw a little 'told you so' at him about this place being messed up. Annoy the shit out of him."

Because he could! Being annoying was fun, dammit.

"I would be in favor of that," Jim said because anything that drove Jackson was nuts was something he wanted to support. "So, you hanging around my room for a few days should make him extremely happy."

"Sweeeeet," Sparkle replied, bouncing a little in his seat and clapping his hands. "Oh, this week is gonna be awesome. And on Sunday, you can come to my shift at work and we can burn all the ugly merch in the burn barrel. Or, like, Jackson's fungus-infested socks, but you have to be careful about spores with shit like that."

A legitimate concern.

"See, we might not kill each other after all!" Jim said, snickering. "We'll just be too busy causing mayhem and destruction to everyone else."

Or to Jackson.

Poor, poor Jackson.

"If you ask me, that's the most productive use of my time I've had planned out in years."

Others might disagree.
