Conflict Management [Fouth Period]

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."

Rilla didn't look the remotest bit pleased to get to shoot her classmates.

Okay, some of these... were totally things Kate would disagree with people over without playing the part of some drunken amnesiac.

People touching her toys? People being too peppy? She was all over both of these. Less so with the aliens. Because aliens.

"Please don't hurt me."

Rilla failed at this so hard.

"I know nothing, don't hurt me," Dave pleaded. "I'm pretty sure you owe me for not damaging our robot baby."

Dave was ready to talk through any and all problems, even if he was having trouble remembering the story up to now due to the movie day last week.

"Beer isn't good for us anyway!"

Yeah, no, Rilla.

"Glad to hear you're not that upset," Dave said. "But we really should just stick with water."
