Ethics [Thursday, April 4, 2013, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

"Well, it's the week leading up to prom, so of course this--" Anakin gestured to the air around them, looking even more annoyed than usual (if you could even tell), "--is happening. Your assignment today will be writing very long--not dirty--essays about the ethical consequences of acting entirely on the prompting of your hormones. Things to think about include unplanned children, sexually transmitted diseases, destroying pre-existing relationships, and secret marriages that lead to galactic strife."

That last one was probably just you, Anakin.

"I've brought you books from the library to use as sources," he added, pointing to what he hoped were the most boring books on anatomy and relationships in the whole multiverse. "Please don't talk to each other. It'll only make things worse."

This was a sobering subject for Victor -- sobering enough to completely wake him up from that dream he'd had about Olive and Emma Frost pillow-fighting in catsuits. He wrote a few paragraphs about how following his hormones had cost him two relationships, then gingerly cracked open one of the anatomy texts.

A page of sober medical language about chlamydia seemed to be about 50 times more effective at dousing his interest than any cold shower had ever been.
