Revolutions: Week 5 Period 5

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

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.]

Parker was bouncing a little ball of paper in her hand. It might say Satellite K around the edges. Alas. There is no one to throw pass it to. Yet.

Kawalsky was already too busy thinking about who he'd use for each role to notice Parker's nefarious scheme.

Parker waited until she was very very certain Aly was talking to someone else--

--then tossed it underhanded onto Kawalsky's desk.

Unfolded it said: Hijack a Satellite! Free the Airwaves!

Charlie scribbled a hardly legible note back and threw at Parker a little harder than was necessary. He smothered a grin.

You're on crack. Share.

Parker read the note, grinned, and wrote an answer, balling it up to throw it sideways, then look very demurely ahead.

Only if your guerrillas support my insurgents! Then the crack will be a trade good!
