fandomhigh | Revolutions: Week 9 Period 5

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?"

Nice and collapsey please!

Note-taking or passing. Questions for Aly?

Pair up (or not), figure out how your government will react, present the solution and Aly will reply with the revolutionaries' response.

She's around for quite a while after class.

*still wants a weetiny Revolutions class*

Bridge Carson

Bridge wanders over to talk to Aly, maybe looking a little sheepish.

"Bridge," Aly said in greeting. Maybe looking a little amused.

But then it was Aly so maybe not.

"Hey, Aly. I, um. Heard you talked to Xander yesterday," Bridge says by way of greeting.

"You mean the radio was actually right for once?" Aly replied. "I didn't call him cute though," she added teasingly.

"Well, Seely *did* mention something about a harem... but I have a hard time picturing you or, well, pretty much anyone else he mentioned as being part of a harem."

Isabel Evans

"You know, I appreciate that," Aly said.

And that topic hit a little to close to home for Isabel's comfort. She sat in the back of the room and kept her head down.

Steerpike

"Thought you might," Bridge says with a grin.

Princess Irulan Corrino

You okay? Bridge scribbles on a piece of paper and slides it in Isabel's direction.

Isabel shrugged. A little too close to real life.

Aly laughed at Bridge before raising an eyebrow. "So...mudwrestling?"

Sam Carter

Irulan thought about it -- if a House would actively rebel against the Golden Throne, how would she react? First, of course intelligence. She would gather all the information she needed about the opposing House then slowly coopt whatever support it had by relentless propaganda and if it comes to it, and it will. She would order an attack against the opposing House, force them to react in such a way that would inflict maximum damage on the public as to dismiss any thoughts that the rebels were 'martyrs' or heroes and once all favor turns to her side again, she would have them quietly executed.

Sam cast a worried look at Isabel.

S.T. Anders

Sam was thinking that the easiest and most orderly thing to do would be to appoint a liaison until the heir could be trained to be an effective ruler, and then ease him or her into position.
