Revolutions: Week 11, Period 5

Aly looked tired and a bit worried when the class filed into the classroom.

"In case anyone is thinking of skipping class next week, it'll be our second class on making things go boom.  So whether that makes you decide to miss class or be sure to show up early, there it is."

"This class, however, we're going talk about a faction that we haven't really touched on more than tangentially yet.  And that's the military.  No matter what happens in a revolution, you're going to have to deal with the country's military at some point.  Try to get them on your side, figure out a way to keep them shining brass until you're firmly in power, send them out to the northern frontier to play in the snow, fight them face on - all of them are valid options."  She smirked.  "I don't advise the last really."

"Today, I'd like you to pair up and discuss strategies for handling the army and navy of the government you're trying to overthrow.  Anything goes, but try to look at the benefits and possible negatives to the strategy you choose.  Any questions?"

[OOC: Sooo many apologies for the less than stellar class.  I'm going to be afk from about noon until later tonight so SP is happy if you'd like to talk to Aly.  And please wait for OCD is shiny and up]

Talking to people yesterday had helped, but Bridge was still kind of quiet and withdrawn and not at all bouncy.

Isabel smiled at Bridge as she took the seat next to him and then started to take notes. She knew all about quiet support but she was more then willing to talk if he needed it.

Anders was sitting in the back of the room, very guiltily not looking at his best friend, or anyone else. He didn't seem too hung over, and he was walking just fine on the leg he'd broken, but he looked flat-out miserable.

"What did you do to yourself?" Parker whispered for once not throwing notes.

"Broke my leg," Anders said flatly. "Flying my Glider around drunk last night."

*Headdesk*. That one doesn't even require comment.

"Do you have good drugs?" Parker asks, her head still on the desk.

"Leg's fine now." Still that same toneless voice. "Wyatt apparently has healing powers."

Parker looked sideways, and cautiously said, "That's good to know." Her eyes narrowed. "What else is wrong?"

"Depending on who you ask, I'd say nothing's wrong any more," Anders replied, still as toneless and dull as ever. His expression hinted that he wouldn't be volunteering any more information than that, though.

"Okaaay." Parker watched him a moment longer, and said, "We're talking later. Because the zombie imitation is freaking me out."

"Braaaaaaaaaaaains," Anders replied in the same monotone. "Nothing to talk about anyway. Doesn't matter."

Parker stared at him a moment. "Right. And I'm throwing all my shoes off the Causeway."

You'd think that would have gotten a reaction. Nope.

"If that makes you happy, Parker."

Oh yeah. So interrogating him later. Bright lights and smoking cigarettes in his face might be required.

Good luck with that. He'd probably space out in the middle of the interrogation.

Anything to keep from crying.

6's notions of revolution never really worked in fighting the military. He really only had fisticuffs and swordfighting on his side.

Aeryn's mostly looking better. If tired and kind of like going out was a bad idea.
