Self Confidence the Ares Way, [Thursday, Period 2]

Ares smiled at his class. It wasn't a particularly comforting smile.

"You all acquitted yourselves satisfactorily during last week's class," he said. "Most people would have just gone fleeing to the hills. However, despite your valiant efforts, most, if not all of your fellow villagers have been slaughtered and what few remain have banished you in a fit of blame?"

"What do you do? Do you try and futilely beg forgiveness from your peers? Do you attempt to raise an army to prevent your town from ever coming under attack again? Do you become obsessed with trying to destroy the one who attacked your village in the first place?"

"Break up into groups and discuss what you would do, how you would go about it, and how this would have a positive effect on your self-confidence."

After a great deal of thought, Karal chose this group.

It was the only one that might possibly lead to a solution other than all out war, or something which sounded far too close to assassination for his comfort.

Altra stared at him for a bit before trotting over to sit next to his desk, keeping a wary eye on Ares. :Interesting choice.:

Karal just shrugged and fiddled with his pen.

Demyx shrugged. "I guess begging forgiveness could work. Me? I'm all for begging forgiveness, then hiding out somewhere and ignoring the world until people forget it was my fault."

Cedric picked this group solely because he felt a defense would prevent anything like a slaughter from ever happening again. He took a seat and waited.

Naminé nodded to Cedric. "I'm not fond of war, but I shan't ask forgiveness for only doing what I could to protect the town last time. I suppose since I'm not one for obsessive destruction, either, that leaves me here. Do we have a plan?"

This group felt right to Vi, so she took a seat. "I guess the first question," she mused, "is, what are our resources?"

Katara nodded at Vi. "It depends if we really are helpless or not."

Z joined this group, although she had doubts, such as why they were attempting to protect the village when they had been exiled.

Sam debated between the last two for a minute, before finally picking the last option. It was the most familiar one, at least.

Wyatt had to go with obsessive destruction. He wanted to hunt down the demons who killed his parents, after all.

All right, Naminé had a legitimate question this time.

"If the rest of the village was facing their doom, and we did our best to save them, but failed ... why have we been exiled? That hardly seems fair."

Naminé considered, then nodded. "All right. I didn't know if it was indeed unfair, or if I was misunderstanding. If that's the situation, then so be it."

Naminé was there. Naminé, as usual, had no idea what Ares was talking about, but she was there to answer questions. Mostly with boggling and "I'm not certain, either" and "It doesn't make much sense, does it?"
