So You Say You Want a Revolution: Week 9, Period 3

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Hope you all enjoyed your guest teacher last week," Aly said, looking tanned from a week in the Copper Isles. "The Doctor gave you all a good report -" she smirked, remembering the exact words "- except for something about not arguing about grammar? Good call, life's way too short."

She gestured to the class to gather around the cut open (think dollhouse) scale model of the school. A scale model in all aspects like only the Danger Shop could provide. The school was set up as a working castle with an outer wall, guards, an armory, and all sorts of little people wandering about to do their daily jobs, milking cows, making bread, patrolling the walls, sharpening their swords, etc. The Principal's Office had been transformed into the throne room of a tiny king. "You're working in your groups today, and what I'd like you all to do is come up with a plan to infiltrate - and hold - this castle. You're getting way more information than you'd normally have in a situation like this so make use of it. Also you can use any personal powers or skills you have in your group, but I'd rather that's not all you focus on. If someone can melt the stone of the outer wall, that's great, but you still might need someone to subdue the fighters inside or the talk the King into surrendering. Use all your resources including those listed on the board to make up your plan." She glanced around, looking for any questions. "And I can't promise that your class next week won't be actually carrying out these plans."

When she flipped around the white board, the board only read:

Use your imagination. No guns. Bombs are fine.

Like you're off to storm the castle!

If you've got questions, here's the place to ask 'em!

Percy didn't have any questions but he was actually trying to make use of his training and skills to figure out the best way he'd take a castle. He'd helped defend Camp Half Blood so it wasn't too far a reach for him.

Percy glanced around at his cousins for no reason at all. Really.

Taking a castle was a smaller scale (ha ha) then Leia was used to thinking in, but it seemed like it would be fun, so she was game to try.

Luke was zoning out a bit more than usual today (he was tired, dammit), but he managed to get the jist of what was going on. Sort of. Surely Nico would explain it when they got into groups.

"Why no guns?" Makita whined objected. "My skills are just as much a part of me as someone with magic. If you're allowing bombs, disallowing guns is hypocritical."

This was a bigger task than Jason had had to think about before, but he was really intrigued by the idea. If nothing else, Bruce would approve of the no guns rule.

In groups!

Nico's Group [Rev 11-03]

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Surely the son of the God of Death has some ideas.

Rinoa's Group [Rev 11-03]

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

And Rinoa certainly has never thought about storming the castle.

Kyle examined the model. "The wall is new, but I've thought about how to defend the main building before."

Percy's Group [Rev 11-03]

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Percy might find this easier if there was a moat.

Re: Percy's Group [Rev 11-03]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

Hey hey, Percy didn't need a moat to do things. He could summon up water from within him (even if it had nearly killed him that one time) so they were good.

Of course, he was still thinking and wondering if he did want to use those powers of his in front of people that weren't his cousins.

Ino's Group [Rev 11-03]

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Somehow I think a ninja might have some good ideas here.

Talk to the TAs [Rev 11-03]

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

They should be a barbershop quartet.

Re: Talk to the TAs [Rev 11-03]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

Percy so wasn't going to sing in any quartet, thank you. He was here though and as attentive as he usually was.

Re: Talk to the TAs [Rev 11-03]

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Somewhere in the back of his mind Nico really should have that sort of fear...or of gremlins. Luckily he was clueless about things implied here and so he was only his normal TAly self.

Re: Talk to the TAs [Rev 11-03]

[angelo_wings]

Rinoa would take alto in that quartet! She had a clear soprano, but it wasn't as strong as her alto for harmonizing.

Talk to Aly [Rev 11-03]

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Who has probably thought about this more than she should.

Re: Talk to Aly [Rev 11-03]

At some point, Roy had slipped inside the class. He stuck to the back, watching Aly's students with some amusement as he more than likely thought up his own strategies.

Once class was dismissed and the students filed out, he got to his feet and moved to the front of the room. "Miss Alianne."

Re: Talk to Aly [Rev 11-03]

Aly glanced up, pleased and amused by his arrival. She'd noticed him come in, of course, but had paid no attention to him, figuring he'd make himself known when he was ready. "General Mustang. Isn't this a surprise."

Seriously, mod what you like and go for it. Everything's free game. And have fun. :D
