If you thought a little thing like weeks of unrelenting trauma was going to stop your final exam, you didn't know Anakin very well. He at least look vaguely sorry about it between texts on his comlink (that was only half to avoid talking to Obi-Wan).

Smooth, Anakin. Very smooth.

It was Obi-Wan who cleared his throat and began speaking after the exams had been distributed. "It is traditional for this class to end in a written exam," he said. "No choice listed on these sheets is wrong--" though he and Anakin might disagree about which ones were least wrong, ahem, "--as we are primarily interested in your reasoning. Please be thorough."

"And legible," Anakin added. He coughed. "And if anyone feels the need to talk about this weekend, or last, for that matter, we're around after class."

Question 5

[sith_happened]

You're involved in a conflict of your own. There's a time limit: if you don't do something quickly, the entire planet, or even galaxy, might suffer. But your mentor insists on stopping and helping every single lost soul he comes across along the way. Do you:

a) Support him in this: you should help on the small as well as the large scale, after all.
b) Go along with it, but make your disapproval very clear and try to speed things up.
c) Argue with him loudly and provide an incentive to stop doing it.
d) Abandon him and all of his lost causes and go save the planet yourself.

d. He can catch up with me if he's serious.

B. But on the condition that I can veto some of the more time-consuming/less consequential tasks. A kid is missing? We can help. Someone's sheep are stuck in a tree? WE CAN COME BACK LATER.

C... ish. I'm not big on loud arguing, but saving every lost soul does little good if there's no planet or galaxy left for them to live their lives in. Prioritize, take care of the bigger picture first, and then when the more immediate danger has passed, THEN go back and focus on the smaller, less pressing matters.

(E) Dump the mentor and let the conflict sort itself out. Nothing I do is going to make a difference.
