NNSE, Monday, First period

"I hope you've enjoyed the last two classes," Lulu said, a mildly devious sparkle lighting her eyes. "However, we're going to depart just mildly from our main topic to discuss something less related to sex and more related to relationships. Today, we discuss what you do when you're in a relationship with more than one other person. In this world, at least, this is called 'polyamory'." She wrote the word on the board. "Obviously, for many of us, this wouldn't be considered the... default for relationships, although I imagine that, with all the possibilities out there, there are some worlds where it is.

"Polyamory is an umbrella term for a number of non-binary ways of looking at relationships. It involves plural relationships, where more than two people are sharing their lives together, as well as various forms of open relationships, in which two people are committed to each other but also share committment -- or even just sex -- with other people, whether a small group of 'friends with benefits' or the option to simply go and find other sexual partners as they will. There are many other permutations and combinations possible, as you can see in this packet thanks Wiki.

"Your activity today is to get together in groups of two or three, at which point you will simulate..." Lulu hesitated for just a moment there, but certainly long enough to let imaginations run wild as to just what was to be simulated. "... a verbal fight in a polyamorous relationship. Consider the possible struggles: one partner wishes an open relationship while the other does not; three partners are struggling over an imbalance in a triad relationship. I wish you to roleplay out these encounters to get an idea of how, in fact, these relationships are not so different from traditional monogamous relationships.


[OOC: I'll be gone for a couple of hours through the early evening to work on a group project for school, but other than that I'm around all day. Surprisingly not NSFW for once, but who knows where the comments will go. Plz to be waiting for OCD is up!]

River listened to the lecture thoughtfully, her mind connecting to her own experiences, past and present.

A fight? River could do fights, she supposed, but she wasn't sure she wanted to. Still, she was here and she would make an effort.

Anemone was desperately trying to pay attention, especially considering the topic, but her headache kept getting worse. Grimacing slightly, she laid her head down on the desk to listen instead of take notes.

Spotting River, Anemone moved to sit by her. "Mind if I join you?"

River shook her head. "Need a third one. Or should we start fighting by ourselves?"

Jack paid very much attention to the lecture.

Despite having a bag on his head (http://inthereflexes.livejournal.com/8971.html) so he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

"We can always start with two. If someone else wants to join in, then we can gang up on them." Anemone shoved her hair out of her face and smiled. "When in doubt, derail the conversation onto someone else's faults."

River gave a nod. "So we fight. You prefer him to me." She tried to make that last comment sound sulky and annoyed.

"Is this seat taken?" asked Jack in the bag.

"I don't prefer anyone to anyone!" Anemone rolled her eyes in annoyance, waving at the free seat with one hand. "You knew about this from the beginning, don't start complaining now."

"Not complaining about his existence, just the fact that you spent the whole of last week in his bed." Yes, she was actually starting to look angry. "Without inviting me."

Sokka tried to take notes, he really did. "You can DO that?!?!?"

"Well, now, there's plenty of me to go around," he said from inside the bag, totally blushing already. "Would you like to spend next week with me, then?"

He's trying hard not to picture that, for he must concentrate on the class, not the ooooshinymentalpicture.
