Conflict Management [Fouth Period]

[thefearwasreal]

Today, they were out on the prairie, the wagon barely visible in the mock pre-dawn light.

"We've mostly been focusing on non-violent conflict management solutions so far," Oz began, leaning against the side of the wagon, a box in his hands. "Mostly because they're the least likely to result in even more conflict, but at the same time sometime peaceful methods don't work that well, and you have to move onto more aggressive strategies. But on the other hand, violence tends to beget more violence and before you know it, you go from a disagreement over where to get waffles to everyone in the near vicinity being dead or injured." Not that Oz would admit to that incident ever actually happening.

"So what do you do? You go to mock violence. Video games, coin tosses, rock paper scissors, all stand ins for the real thing. Which is what we'll be working with today."

"Because it turns out that after three weeks travelling with each other, you've all found a way to get on each others nerves. Each of you have disagreements with the others, which you're going to try and talk through today. If you can't settle your disagreements peacefully, you've only got one solution." Oz opened the box. "Paintballs at dawn."

Library, Saturday

Cassidy happily shelved books on her shift at the library before she settled down at the desk with a new book on hand to hand fighting techniques. Accompanying that book was a book on military tactics, as well.

Yes, she was still being a diligent studier of different tactics as Ender had told her before. For some reason, taking his class made her want to make sure she took as much advantage of the materials she had at her disposal than ever.

The library was open and she would be happy to help you.
