fandomhigh | Revolutions: Week 15, Period 5

The class met in a normal classroom today. Aly waited at the front of the classroom for everyone to come in.

"Afternoon, everyone. Welcome to last class of the semester. This is supposed to be a final exam, but without sending you overthrow the school administration - which I am not endorsing-" she added quickly, glancing at Jamie ~~if he was there~~. "There's really not much of a scope for a practical examination."

"So I hope that you've all learned things. And I hope that you don't hesitate to put what you learned to use in defense of your people, your country, or anyone who needs it. I have the notes here from our first class. What I'd like you to do is look over your answer to the question 'when are revolutions appropriate, and what would it take for you to rebel against the current power structure.' Take a look and then tell me if your opinion has changed. Why or why not?"

After the discussion was over, she nodded. "I've enjoyed having you all in class. If I can help any of you in the future, let me know. And given that our topic this semester has been war and revolution, I'm going to leave you with a quote I found from one of the founding statesmen of this country. It's something to think about: 'I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, [...] in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music...'"

[OOC: OCD's up. Quote is from John Adams and way shortened. I love you all like pie and give you pie. Or cake if that's your thing. And, umm, because I forgot in the OCD, let me know what grade you think you deserve when you sign in or in the OOC thread]

Bel nodded. "Something's going on around here, and I want to figure it out so these visions stop upsetting her."

"Can I help?" Anders fiddled with his pencil for a moment. "I'm not exactly a fan of seeing her all upset."

"Just help her relax and feel safe, I guess," Bel said, frustration in his voice. "And if you see anything suspicious, let me know."

Anders nodded. "I can do that," he said, a little disappointed that he wasn't much help at anything more proactive. "Keep an eye out and be morale guy. Totally."

Bel eyed Anders. "That's all I get to do, too, you know," he grumbled.

"Seriously?" Anders blinked a little bit.

"Do I look psychic?" Bel said. "I don't know what she's seeing, either."

". . . point," Anders conceded. "I don't know, I just thought, y'know, you turned me into a watercooler and all . . ."

"If I knew what was causing what she's seeing, you think I'd be sitting here in class?" Bel said. "I'd be out kicking some ass."

"Okay, okay, I get it!" Anders held his hands up in surrender. "We should probably go back and keep an eye on her as soon as we get out of here then."

Bel nodded in agreement. "That's the plan," he said.

Anders feigned innocence as he looked up at the ceiling. "Well, so much for my plans to make a quick stop at the bathroom on the way back . . ."

Bel couldn't help but smirk. "Something on your mind?" he said.

"Maaaaaaybe," Anders drawled. "But you know, if we've gotta be the morale guys, it might cheer her up to watch."

Bel snorted. "Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what you have in mind."

"I have nothing but all of our best interests at heart," Anders said solemnly.
