Dione and Sunano both knew the answer to this. "It wants revenge..." she said and Sunano continued: "...or is just power-hungry!" She turned red when many confused, but mostly angry, faces turned towards her. "Either way is possible..." she whispered and lowered her head shyly.

Midnight glances over to Roin and said quietly, "Oh, it's nothing important at the moment."
She then looked to Blue, "I agree with both Dione & Sunano - but I thought of another reason." she said trying to think from all angles, "Maybe it needs a new home. Not EVERY monster we'll encounter wouldn't just be attacking our planets for no reason."

GS Sailor Midnight Midnight glances over to Roin and said quietly, "Oh, it's nothing important at the moment." She then looked to Blue, "I agree with both Dione & Sunano - but I thought of another reason." she said trying to think from all angles, "Maybe it needs a new home. Not EVERY monster we'll encounter wouldn't just be attacking our planets for no reason." "Midnight has given a good reason. Now, if the monsters are merely trying to find a new home as something happened to their old home, who becomes the villains?"

I would be us if we were attacking them because they wanted to stay here, but then again if they attacked us first it wouldn't be our or the monsters fault. It would be either fate's fault or the creature which attack the monsters home.

Blue nodded, "What are other reasons creatures might come to our world and attack?"

To take back what was there's, (so like if someone got kidnapped they would want him/her/it back) because they broke a rule, they have a prisoner which is theirs, for some mess up reason to distract the people by battling while two lovers get some alone time because it is forbidden to love on or another (saw it on my name is earl)

"Some of you have good answers. Others of you have the typical answers." Blue paced around the room. "That brings us to your first assignment: The Moral Dilemma!"
Blue then passed a sheet of paper to each person in the room. "Now read carefully. While there's no wrong answer, your style will determine which side of the spectrum you lean towards. You will have 1 1/2 hours to think and write your answer."
The paper itself read: You have pursued a dastardly villainous maigican who has been using his magic to steal money and various valuables, as well as a very specific medicine, from all over the city, and finally cornered him at his hideout. You also find that he is the sole provider for a sick young girl, no more than 6 years old, whom he has been taking care of. The only reason she's alive now is because of the money and medicine he's stolen and used to keep her as healthy as he could. The magician is ready to accept what fate he must, but you see him glance at the girl with concern. What do you do?

Midnight reads over the paper & doesn't take long before writing down her answer.
"First, I'd reprimand him about not getting a better job to take care of the girl so that he COULD afford her medicine and her care, then yell at him for not taking her to the hospital. In my mind, there's no excuse for not trying harder rather than to revert to stealing. If I cared enough, I'd take the child to social services. But, since I'm also not a homewreaker I wouldn't. The magician hasn't been killing people (that I would have known about), and it's already too late to return what he stole. I'd talk him into setting up a fund raiser to get money for the kid the LEGAL way. It's not like every person is a cruel hearted b*****d to not give money to a sick kid. Also, screw the media - even though word's out that this guy's a theif & whatever whatever.... It's not like he can't just go & buy the medicine with the fund raiser money. Hospitals are not allowed to deny patiences treatment. If there is a dumbass in the medical industry, I'm sure they'd get chewed out anyway for not selling medicine to a man with a sick kid."
She then handed in her paper when it was time.

I would inquire about the child and his relationship with her. Depending on the type of care she needs, I would then address his current method as sole provider, compared to other, potentially more preactical means. If her medical costs are really far out, I would suggest getting help from family if it was available. At any rate, I would attempt to console the issue of theft, with a more 'earning' approach. If the thief is willing to discuss and/or work out the matter face to face, then the possibilities of further outcome really various, concerning specifics. I would express that if he truly cares for this girl, he will do whatever it takes, but he must also take into consideration what's best for her. His current actions, if unchanged, could jeapordize his ability to take care of her, should he be detained, or worse yet, killed. How would he take care of her then? And if there's no family to help out in the first place, what then? If it becomes clear to me that his priority is the well being of the girl, and if that is the reasoning behind his actions, then I would attempt to reason with him. I would orally recognize both the good and bad he has done. The good for him and the girl, and the bad, as experienced by others as a result of his actions. Such delicate situations require delicate attention. I would let him off the hook only so long as I had his personal guarantee that the stealing would stop and that he check the girl into some form of professional care. As far as the money goes, there's too many ways to make money, not to make money. If he doesn't know how, I'd point him to some local job fair listings, discuss his professional talents over tea, or what have you, try to get to know the guy and give him the feeling that I'm on his side. I mean really, even if he is a little stupid for how he goes about it, going through all that for the sake of a young girl is admirable. I would just help him in redirecting his efforts. Of course, I would remind him, as a warning, that if he continues his current behavior, I will do everything in my power, for THE SAKE OF THE GIRL'S FUTURE AND HEALTH, to put a stop to him. And that could very well mean ending what they have together... and that neither of us wants that.

Dione read the paper carefully, then decided on her answer. ´´I would lock up the wizard and take care of the girl. I want to hear the full explanation of his actions instead of just trusting what he looks like and what looks as if it has a good reason to it. You can never be too trusting or you'll be tricked, trapped, attacked. I would also ask the girl about the situation and let her decide what will happen to the wizard. I suppose I would threaten/make the wizard promise me that he will get an honest job that earns him enough money, but take care of the child until I'm completely convinced he's capable of taking care of her and really wants to do it.´´ Sunano was troubled on what to answer for a while until she finally found the right answer. ´´I would do what I can to help him take care of the child and make sure that he never does something evil again. I might get new allies, friends or family.´´

Blue examines the papers after they're turned in. "Interesting answers, I must say. Alot of you lean towards the lawful side of the spectrum, though one of you takes to a darker attitude towards it."
Another chart is drawn, A pie chart noting Neutral, Light, and Dark.
"This is fine. Sometimes, if you are going to be a team, you can't all sway towards one way, or you'll just be asking for someone who knows and/or easily counters your methodology to come by and eliminate you all. Next is a video on this topic. Feature is an All-Light and an All-Dark group of heroes."
Blue sets up the video so the class can watch. During the course of the video, though both teams saw success, they were ultimately defeated. One by its polar opposite, and the other by a villain that was able to easily predict and manipulate their actions based on their common attitudes.

"eh.." Midnight thought. "What he says makes sense. Even I know not everybody can have the same ideas on different matters. people just don't work that way." She sat quietly as she watched the video.

*Illumina comes close to Blue, a little shyly.* "Excuse me," she whispers, "There's something I'd like to address. It's relevant to the class, I'm sure. But it's actually not something I'd like to bring up in front of the others. I'd hate for everyone to see something they shouldn't. Or at least, I don't know if they should. But if anyone here, I think you're the kind of person that would either understand, or at least respect what... some other part of me has to say."
