Ethics, Wednesday, September 4, 2019 [1st period]

[sith_happened]

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 swirling overdramatically 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."

Evie smiled, happy to see she had a class with her roommate.

When Tisarwat had noticed that Evie was in this class as well--it was sort of hard not to notice her, really--and when she caught her smile, she smiled back.

It was still an adjustment, going from sharing a sleeping space with the ten other people in her decade, to just one individual--and one fish--but she'd like Evie so far, and it was better than being all by herself--with the fish.

It should be interesting, getting to know her a little better in the framework of this class.
