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."

Anakin nodded. "And how have you applied this mistake to your life moving forward?"

She looked at him steadily, trying to decide how much to say. "I'm very careful of where I go and who might be around. And I've learned not to trust any man alone."

Anakin looked a little heartbroken to hear that, but nodded. "Have you taken some of the self-defense courses?"

Nell shook her head. "They make me a bit nervous. But perhaps I should."
