Revolutions: Week 9 Period 5

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly was perched on top of her desk again as she watched the students come into the classroom.

"I hope you didn't miss me too much last week though it sounds like Bridge was an excellent substitute."  She grinned at Bridge.  "I'm sorry to say I don't have pie for you all.  Hopefully you won't hold it against me."

"Today we're going to switch things up a bit.  This whole semester we've focused on what it's like from the revolutionaries' standpoint. But I spent the past week in my country looking at things from a different angle - from that of the reigning government."

"So today, in small groups or pairs, I'd like you to react to a scenario as you would if you were the government of a country.  Go in with all your guns blazing, try to talk to the dissidents, infiltrate them, try to capture them and ship them off into exile, it's up to you.  Once you decide a plan of attack, I'm going to tell you how the revolutionaries react to your plan and you can respond once more."

"I'm sorry to tell all you strictly democratic souls, but today, you're all representatives of a monarchy.  Your intelligence service has brought information to you of a lost 'true heir' to the throne being spoken about in the streets.  A coalition of mainly merchants - your middle class - has started to form around this supposed heir, and the people of the streets seem to be turning towards that banner."

She grinned.  "You all have quite good instincts from the stirring things up side, let's see how you do when your objective is order in your country.  Any questions?"

"I know exactly what you mean. And I can't wait. It'll be fun," Isabel smiled. "I'll buy the hot dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jacks."

"All of which are vital," Anders agreed with a nod. "Wow, can it be spring already?"

"It is. Opening day is in just a few weeks," she nodded, not thinking about how only random chance managed to get her back here for it.

"A few weeks is too far away," Anders said, with the barest hint of a pout. "It needs to be opening day now. They moved the stupid time change, why can't they move that?"

"Because some things are just too sacred to mess with," Isabel laughed.

"Point." Anders chuckled. "And what's more sacred than baseball?"
