Revolutions: Week 5 Period 5
The classroom was unbarricaded today and there wasn't singing yet. Aly sat on her desk as the students came in and watched them find their seats.
"Afternoon, all," she said with a bit of a smile once everyone had found their seats. "The past couple weeks, we've talked about the larger issues of forming a revolution. Why you'd do it, how you'd start to recruit people to your side, even," she grinned, "a practical demonstration."
"Today we're going to look a bit more closely at one of the most important parts of a rebellion - your people. No revolution ever is run completely by one person no matter how good they are. What I'd like for you do to today is determine what roles you think you would need to fill in starting a rebellion. And if you like, who you would try to talk into taking those roles."
She paused, looking around to make sure people were following. "For example, in the Copper Isles, the leaders of the rebellion ended up with titles of wise one, cunning one, strong one, warrior and the crow." Aly rolled her eyes. "Stupid names and the roles are fairly obvious, but there was a prophecy and this and that." Aly smirked. "It shouldn't be too surprising which title was mine."
"So if you have any questions, please ask, otherwise determine the roles you'd feel are necessary - and this can be for whichever technological or magic type of society you like. Next week, we'll talk more about the roles and the organisation of your core members."
[OOC: So many apologies for less than stellar class. I can't seem to find my brain, and I have much sickness so Aly pings may be slow.Please wait for the OCD is up.]

where I am quite possibly a small boy that Z will take a shine to, who'll eventually return from even further in the future as an older, but less corporeal, shiny ball of light?"[OOC: Now, with the sense-making.]
