fandomhigh | So You Say You Want a Revolution: Week 2, Period 3

"You all found your way back," Aly said with a teasing smile as the bell rang for the class to begin. "I'd be impressed, but I've met Fandom students before."

"Before we start, I'd like to introduce my TAs for this term - Ino Yamanaka, Rinoa Heartilly, Percy Jackson, and Nico di Angelo. Four isn't usual, I know, but we're trying something new this time around. I'd like each of the TAs to head up a small group of their classmates. When we work in teams or have small discussions, that's the group you'll be with."

She went to flip over the whiteboard to show the groups she'd set up.

*Percy Jackson
Cally
Faramir
Jason Todd
Makita

*Rinoa Heartilly
Cara
Kyle Reese
Leda
Proto

*Ino Yamanaka
Cloud Strife
Karla
Leia Organa
Shira

*Nico di Angelo
Elphaba Thropp
Katniss Everdeen
Luke Castellan

Aly glanced at the groups then back at the class. "If you hate who you're with, talk to me and - yeah, never mind. If you hate who you're with, deal with it. You don't always get to work with your friends when planning a revolution. Pull your desks together, and spend some time getting to know each other if you don't already.

"Last week we talked about the reasons why you personally would rebel against a government. What I'd like you to do today is to stay in the small groups and talk about why you - as a group - would rebel against something. You can look at it seriously or rebel against mandatory cheerleading uniforms for the whole school, but remember, revolutions aren't put together by one person. It's always a group effort. So today, let's start with that."

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Cloud put his desk along the others of his group, expression neutral. He was at least content with himself about not freaking out for the recurring themes he was talking about, but what else would he expect for a class about rebellions?

He was going to stay silent and attentive for the moment, though.

Poor thing, really, wasn't it that Ino was supposed to get him to talk?

"So," she said playfully, though it didn't touch her eyes. "Your reasons for a rebellion?"

Cloud was a poor, poor thing indeed. But hey, get over it or get out right? That, or he really had no idea why he would start a rebellion, other than the same stuff everyone used as excuses.

"To send a message", replied at least, wondering if Ino had actually talked to him without the playful tone ever, besides the infirmary conversation, and even then... "Depending on what are you rebelling against, or who, the message varies, of course." It usually was related to 'stop screwing around with the world' though.

It was unlikely, really, that she had.

"Send a message?" Ino asked, raising an eyebrow. "What sort of message is worth lives?"

Probably that would freak Cloud a little, for a while. The serious tone, that is.

Cloud had to raise an eyebrow in response. "Why a rebellion need lives as a requisite? Rebellions come in different kinds." And sizes, but he didn't want to sound like he was selling hamburgers.

"By all means," she replied, and yes that eyebrow of hers could go a little higher. "What sort of non-violent rebellion would you indulge in?"

Could wasn't eager to test the boundaries of his own eyebrow, so he would be assuming a neutral expression now. "One that has the same effect than a violent one, without the unecessary death." One could dream, after all.
