“Alternate realities,” she said, once her class had assembled for the period. “Simply by virtue of being here, at this school, every single one of you has at least some small experience with the concept and what, exactly, an alternate reality entails.”

Juli leaned back, hands crossed over her stomach. “In some cases it’s as ‘simple’ as winding up in a world profoundly changed by the alteration of a single event--whether large or small. A war won in one world was lost in another version of the same world, for instance. Or, on a smaller scale, a person gets into an accident and winds up falling in love with someone they’d never have met if not for that. In another version the accident never happens, and they meet someone else.” She smiled faintly. “I have heard even of people who have awoken as a different version of themselves. Older perhaps, or a different past, or a different gender even.” Listening to old radio broadcasts did pay off sometimes.

“Following that concept, today all of you will be considering two scenarios wherein you are but are not yourselves, and do your best--with the information provided—to hypothesize just how extreme any differences from your present self might be. This is an exercise in creativity; feel free to run with it as you will--whether alone or in a group.”

You are a government agent whose suicided due to personal issues. The government then brings you back to life, as a cyborg, against your wishes and ensures that you can neither attempt to off yourself again, or attack them. You must work for them.

How do you react?

Sky had to think long and hard about this question- especially because he'd never been suicidal before. He could, at least, relate to the whole "government doing things do you against your will" part of the scenario.

"I'm not sure I can imagine that," he said finally. "I've never thought about suicide, or what would drive someone to it, before... and the way I'd react... there are a lot of variables to consider. For example, how would my cooperation be ensured? I could be programmed to be a mindless, subservient drone, making the problem of obedience a moot point. If I still retained some free will, however, I'd probably harbor the want for revenge, to do something to correct the wrong that was done to me."

He wasn't at all thinking about what awaited him when he became Red Ranger or anything, nope.

"That sounds like a plot to a bad movie." Anathema commented. "And I'd be very, very pissed off and find ways to mess up the work they assign me."

Pretend you are a twenty something year old permanently stuck physically, but not mentally, at the age of twelve. You will never grow beyond that stage. What issues do you foreseen cropping up on account of this? How would you react?

"That's not really a theoretical for me," Anemone mused. "Eureka and Sakuya, my, um, sisters? Cousins? Something. As human-form Coralians, they were the physical equivalent of a fourteen-year-old human female when they were born, and neither has aged since. I'm the most developed of the three, but that may be because I started out human, rather than being pure Coralian."

"Issues are pretty straight forward. No one takes you seriously, everyone treats you like a brain-damaged child, and you're too short to reach the cookie jar forever. It really kinda sucks."
