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."

Talk through your problems - CM [04]
Your reasons for disagreeing with each other are as follows:
Dave vs. Kate - Laurie believes that Surgeon is working with the aliens, and is trying to prove it without revealing her own knowledge of the invasion.
Loki vs. Rilla - Loco bought beer instead of water at the last township, and princesses only drink wine.
Rilla vs. Dave - Laurie ruined the beer by leaving the lid off the barrel, NOW IT IS FLAT BEER.
Kate vs. Loki - Fortunate used Surgeon's scientific equipment to make toys. Without asking.
Dave vs. Loki - Laurie let slip that Faortunate was with the party. What if her father and husband to be find out and come after her.
Kate vs. Rilla - Surgeon thinks Loco is too peppy. Surgeon hates peppy.
[You do not have to play all these disagreements out.]
Re: Talk through your problems - CM [04]
People touching her toys? People being too peppy? She was all over both of these. Less so with the aliens. Because aliens.
Re: Talk through your problems - CM [04]
Rilla failed at this so hard.
