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.

Dana was slightly off put by her tutors appearence, but tryed to continue anyway. "Well. I don't know if there would be a line if I lved someone enough." She thought a moment, "Perhaps it would be easier if there was. But I think If I loved someone enough, there would be no line. I guess it would depend on the line as well. If there was no line, and I would do anything for someone, then I wouldn't cross it at all, but if there was a line, and i drew it... I guess as long as I drew a line I would not cross is, but if the love was enough, then there would be no line."

Vader paused, processing. "There's always a line," he said finally. "It's just a question of whether you choose to ignore or not." He put his arms across his chest. "Your mother is being held hostage. In order to retrive her, her captors are requiring you to kill your best friend. You have three hours. What do you do?"

Dana thought about her mother, and her best friend. "Kill her captors."

"Any regrets doing so?" Vader asked.

"I would be regretful for the loss of life, but not for doing it. Not in the moment at least."

Vader nodded, satisfied with her response. He moved off towards the next student.
