Ethics (Thursday, September 7, 6th period)

[sith_happened]

If there was one thing Darth Vader excelled at, it was making a memorable first impression.

He waited until the classroom was full, then stalked in, cape flaring behind him.

He twitched his fingers as he reached the center of the room and the door slammed shut behind him.

"I am Darth Vader," he intoned over the even mechanized breathing of his suit. "I trust you have already heard of me." His masked face scanned the faces in front of him. If he was at all affected by the negative thoughts and emotions being directed at him, he wasn't showing it. "You will refer to me as either Darth Vader or Lord Vader. Any other address will result in detention." He began pacing the room. "You should be grateful for that. Very few have ever been granted advanced warning of my actions.

"Today we discuss how far over the line you would go to save someone you love." Vader's voice turned cold. "I don't want to hear that you wouldn't go over a line. Would you lie for someone? Steal for them? Kill for them? Does it matter to you if it's friend or family? Does how much you love--" and yes, the word sounded awkward coming from that particular visage, "--that person affect how far you would go for them?"

Vader crossed his arms over his chest and waited for the first student to speak.

Jamie sat back and thought about the question. "Honestly, I've broken some laws in order to protect people I care and at least thought I've loved. But when it comes right down to it? I think the bigger question is 'What would you do for a Klondike Bar?'"

"Do you dare to mock me?" Vader snapped.

"No, sir your lordshipness," Jamie replied looking very serious. "It's just that I know some people who will do anything for that chocolatey coated ice cream loaded, big and thick and no room for a stick!

The leather of Vader's gloves creaked ominously as he loomed over Jamie's desk.

Can't choke them, can't choke them...

"Because if you think about it," Jamie continued oblivious to any kind of looming or choking thoughts, "There's probably someone out there who values a Klondike bar more than love. Have you ever had a Klondike bar sir?"

"Does it look like I eat ice cream?" Vader bellowed. A book on his desk flew across the room to slam into the wall.

"Detention," Vader growled. "And be grateful for it."

Jamie reflexively cringed as the book slammed against the wall. "Um. Right. Very grateful. Thank you sir. May I have another?"

Mwahaha. Vader nodded, then stalked away to a different part of the room.
