Conflict Management [20.03]

[idontlooktired.livejournal.com]

Class was being held in the danger shop today. The floor was springy, bouncy even, and had a number of large circles drawn on it in white paint.

Along one wall were a number of inflatable sumo suits.

"Today we are going to look at resolving a conflict through physical means. There is a long history of resolving disagreements in this way, such as duelling and trial by combat. Trial by combat did, in some circumstances, permit the use of champions, to fight on behalf of the accused. Interestingly enough, there's a school of thought that believes the modern legal system is just a slightly more civilised version of trial by combat, with barristers as the champions."

Harriet shook her head. "Having known a number of barristers in my time, I'm not so sure I agree with 'more civilised'. Nevertheless, today we are going try out our own version of conflict resolution by physical means." She swept a hand at the suits. "Sumo wrestling. Suit up, find a partner, and pick a ring. The first person to force the other out of the ring is the winner."

Sky was very interested in the lecture, but was astounded when he heard the part about fighting someone else in an inflatable sumo suit.

Suit up and SUMO

[idontlooktired.livejournal.com]

Don a suit and inflate it (feel free to handwavy that), then find a partner and get them out of the ring!

Even though he had some misgivings about this, Chris donned a suit and looked around for a partner.

Gwynn was confused by the point of this...so there she was, looking at Chris.

"Would you like a partner?"

Re: Suit up and SUMO

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Chris said. "Do you understand the concept of Sumo Wrestling?"

Gwynn shook her head.

"Me either," Chris admitted with a smirk. "But it's a Japanese cultural thing where this huge men wrestle each other."

Lana managed to get into the suit and inflate it as she looked around for a partner.

Sky was very unhappy as he approached Lana, not sure how to move effectively inside the suit, and knowing he likely looked ridiculous- about as ridiculous as he did in the banana costume, he thought. The fact that his friends weren't there to take pictures, and his boyfriend was not there to laugh at him, was some slight consolation, however.

"Looking for a partner?" he asked Lana, trying to smile.

Re: Suit up and SUMO

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sure," Lana said. "This is... pretty ridiculous, isn't it?"

Re: Suit up and SUMO

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"It is," said Sky, nodding agreement. "Of course, I dress up like a banana for my job once a week, so looking silly isn't really new for me."

Talk to the TA

This class is MADE OF AWESOMESAUCE. Thank you for giving me yet another chance to make Sky embarrass himself in public. ;x
