Ethics, Wednesday, September 4, 2019 [1st period]
Anakin swept into the classroom precisely on time, making sure the door slammed shut behind him thanks to a little nudge from the Force.
Hopefully everyone was already awake and not hungover because that noise was loud.
"I am Anakin Skywalker," he said, Jedi robes swirlingoverdramatically Snape-like around his ankles, "and this is Ethics class." His eyes roamed the room. "It's nice to see some familiar faces because this is a class that is always relevant. Ethics--your personal moral principles--can evolve over time, and something you find unthinkable one year might become routine in another. The point of this class is to examine where your own personal line is before you are faced with a dilemma in the real world, panic, and make a wrong choice."
Like, say, turn to the Dark Side and kill a whole lot of people. For decades. Theoretically.
"Traditionally, the first week of classes is devoted to introductions," Anakin concluded. "So today I want your name and the second worst decision you've made. The one that makes you wince internally when you are trying to go to sleep at night and your brain is playing the greatest hits of the stupd things you've done."

Re: Introduce yourself!
Delirium considered that. "Is that more dusty linty back-of-an-old-closet sort of taste or would it be more fuzzy milk that's been in the fridge so long it's grown its own lint sort of taste?"
Re: Introduce yourself!
This, too, got some proper consideration to it.
"Neither," Vette decided. "It would be more the soggy fuzz that happens when you trudge through a Nal Hutta swamp for days on end so that your socks fall apart inside your boots and that gets all mucked in with foot sweat. That kind of lint."
Re: Introduce yourself!
"I don't know a Nal Hutta swamp," Delirium apologized, "I think it's different than swamps here. I don't think there is a swamp big enough here to trudge through for days."
Re: Introduce yourself!
"Trust me, you are not missing out," Vette promised her. "Those things are full of ... not actually Hutts, most of those are in palaces or up on the moon, but it definitely stinks like them anyway."
Re: Introduce yourself!
Delirium was delighted with the word, though. "Hutt! Hutt Hutt Hutt!" She held her hand up and a football materialized in it and she threw it. It disappeared a moment after leaving her hand. A chorus of a crowd cheer sounded around her and she threw her arms up in a victory pose. "Touchdown!"
Beat.
"That kind of Hutt? Probably not. That kind doesn't stink. That kind is pretty cool."
Re: Introduce yourself!
"I... don't know that kind of hutt, but if I could do that to the kind of Hutt I did know, I'd be one happy Twi'lek."
Seriously. A lot.
