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.

"Do we want to keep the king?" He wasn't used to fighting people.

"I thought we did," Rinoa said. "I guess if we get the castle empty, and he's somewhere else, that's kind of like a surrender, isn't it?"

She frowned, drumming her fingers on the table. "What is it we want?" she said. "I mean, are we taking the castle because we're making a statement, because we want to end a war, because it's a bargaining chip to use to get something else back?"

"I don't know. I'm only used to taking control of resources." Whether that meant stealing, destroying or commandeering property from the machines was what made each mission different.

"I was our strategist," Rinoa said. "So for us, we were trying to get the president of Galbadia, but we wanted to capture him alive. We wanted to make him release Timber. Killing him, or killing his underlings, would just rouse public support against us."

"The Principal's office...I mean throne room is pretty well protected. You've got a room on top of it and there's no easy way in." He crouched down to get a better look. "What's under the building?"
