Ethics, Wednesday, September 18, 2019

[sith_happened]

Anakin was nowhere to be seen when Ethics class began, but there was an enormous bowl of (real, this time) Halloween candy on his desk.

There was a sign next to it that said, "TAKE ONLY THREE."

Inside the bowl were full-sized candy bars, as well as smaller "fun-sized" ones, Reese's Cups, Starbursts, those weird Bit o' Honeys, and even apples and boxes of raisins.

Was there a trick here today too?

Oh, probably. Pick your treats anyway.

Okuyasu had half a Snickers in his mouth. He didn't swallow before talking.

"...it said three," he replied. "This is three."

Well, two and a half, now.

"You can't say I didn't follow the rule!"

"I can't," Anakin said, sounding amused. "I just wanted to know why you picked the ones you did."

"Oh!" Okuyasu said. "That's easy, this was the way to take the most of it. Like, apples are cheap and so are those tiny candies. If someone offers you free stuff you should get your value out of it."

He was a very... frugal teen.

Anakin hid a smile behind his hand. "It's definitely an approach."

"I'm probably gonna save these two for later," Okuyasu declared, answering a question Anakin had in no way asked. "If I tried to eat them all now my tummy would get real upset and that wouldn't be good at all."

"Arigato for the treats, though. You sure this is a lesson?"
