15 Ways to Protect Yourself and Others - Period 3, Week 2

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly sat on her desk as she watched her students file into the room.  Start of the term was always fun especially with these students.  She waited until everyone had found a seat or at least a comfortable place to lean and began.

"What we need," she said.  "Is a baseline that we can start with.  So what I want from you today is to pair up and discuss your own experiences." She paused.  "Your own or something you've seen done, a time someone tried to protect you.  I don't want this to be an exercise in emo or browbeating so while I'm sure none of you would take it that way, let me just have said it."

"This can be anything.  It doesn't have to be a life and death situation. You can have tried to protect your sister from dating the guy you didn't like."  Aly grinned.  "I'm a little sister though.  Trust me when I say that never works."

"But what I'd like you to do is talk about what works in your experience.  What doesn't.  Is the hardest thing protecting someone from themselves?"  Aly shifted on the desk slightly, her hand reaching to stroke the black beads at her throat.  "Most of you know I'm bored by theory.  So this is going to be our 'theoretical class.'  Next week we'll get into practicalities now that this is out of the way."

"And by the way, just so you know if I'm not around or you can't find me, Zuko and Dean Winchester are your TAs.  Be nice to them."

Throw paper airplanes if you must.

Eve threw a paper airplane, but at least she sent it away from Aly. And careening into a desk.

She obviously did not have a future career as a professional airplane designer.

Sokka raised a hand with a smirk on his face. "I can't be nice to Zuko," he said. "He's the person that I protect people FROM."

Aly raised her eyebrow in response. "You're not protecting people from him in this classroom, right?"

Inara took notes, but didn't really know what they said--she was a bit distracted.

Pair Up and Discuss

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Can be from real life, can be theoretical. Aly just wants people thinking.

Protecting his sister? Yeah right.

Zuko might not be looking like he needed a partner, but he wouldn't bite if anyone decided to team up with him. Much.

Molly plopped down next to Zuko, a grin on her face. "Hey, Zuko. You start." She blinked at him and waited for him to talk.

Claire looked around mostly for someone who'd be willing to talk about themselves, and wouldn't expect her to confess everything.

Cranky kid versus cute girl? Guess who Wyatt decided to sit down beside. "Hi," he said.

Re: Pair Up and Discuss

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

Eve sat there and looked around, not sure who to pair up with -- curse the new semester, she didn't completely know who everybody was yet!

Re: Pair Up and Discuss

"Hi, you want to pair up?" asked Prue.

Chad was sitting there making a list of people he'd protected in his head and frowning at how small it was as he waited for someone to partner up with.

"You look like a protect-y kind of guy," Sokka said cheerfully. "I'll bet you've protected almost as many people as I have. No need to be jealous."

Adam thought about who he'd protected lately, as he looked around for a partner.

Z looked around for someone to pair up with, and tried to think of how she'd protected someone.

Talk to the TAs

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

If they would like to ping in and be talked to...

Re: Talk to the TAs

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko was there and he did not need people to be nice to him.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean was there also.

Talk to Aly

Because she's around
