Ethics, Tuesday, February 10, 2015, 2nd period
Do you hear the sound of mechanized screaming, kids? Do you have a bad feeling about this?
Good. It's terrifying robotic toddler week!
"The issue of ethics is about more than simply the greater fate of the galaxy - or your personal relationships," Obi-Wan said. He was trying not to side-eye the robotic toddlers too much; did you have to make them so creepy, Anakin? "Within our old Order, it was said that a Jedi did not truly become a Master until he had trained a younger Jedi. Caring for another is a daunting task in its own right."
It's so they don't get attached! It's very Jedi! And not all Anakin just being a jerk!
...it was about 80 percent Anakin being a jerk.
"Depending on your universe of origin, it's entirely possibly you're expected to either take care of younger siblings as a primary caregiver by now or be preparing to marry in the next five years." His lips quirked up. "And Fandom has certain...quirks...regarding Valentine's Day and children unexpectedly popping up, so think of this as preparation if small children you never met wake you up Saturday morning."
Obi-Wan's eyes darted briefly towards Anakin. "...As that is apparently a risk you take by attending this school."
HE HADN'T KNOWN.
HE DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY THE JOY THAT OJ WOULD BRING HIM.
Anakin shrugged. "It happens. They don't stick around for very long." He pointed back to the droids. "We've paired you up. You'll each get one baby for the week--they are old enough to walk, but are not yet toilet trained. They also don't like napping, but need to once a day."
They also hated baths like burning but he'd let them discover that for themselves. "Today you get to name your little darlings and figure out childcare arrangements for the week."
"Good luck," Obi-Wan said. At least the thought of the students dealing with such an ornery baby-- ah, the idea that the students would be learning something truly important, he meant, truly-- was enough to bring amusement back to his voice. "But know that if you abandon the babies, we will know."

Re: Pair up!
Nope. He'd just leave that thing with a nanny that he'd hire or something.
Re: Pair up!
"I am never having children," Elsa declared, looking up at her partner, slightly more pale than her usual. "If I was ever on the fence about that fact before, this really, really cements that."
She hadn't even touched it yet.
Re: Pair up!
He'd take a fail on this one or he'd put it in a box and send it to Gansey.
Re: Pair up!
At all.
Even a little bit.
She could take the hit to her GPA, here.
"What... do we do with it?"
The answer was probably not going to be 'love and nurture it and name it George,' was it?
Re: Pair up!
Re: Pair up!
"... Do you think they'd let us get past the door without it?"
She was willing to try.
Re: Pair up!
Re: Pair up!
Re: Pair up!
... Oh.
"What he said," Elsa murmured, ducking her head down low. And now she really rather wanted to go crawl under a rock or something.
They could have been maybe a bit less obvious about wanting to bail on this one.
Re: Pair up!
He had fantastic self control.
Re: Pair up!
She was not calling that thing a her. It was a nightmare robot and a scourge sent down to torture them all. She was not going to acknowledge its personhood, thanks.
Re: Pair up!
Re: Pair up!
She was so stuffing this hideous thing in a closet.
Re: Pair up!
Not really but did they have a choice?
Re: Pair up!
And once they neglected the thing for the whole week, it would probably be detention anyway. But Elsa was quite okay with not having to deal with that particular consequence until next week instead of right now.
"Excellent. I'm glad we could reach an agreement in that regard."
That poor droid baby.
