Tactics of War [Monday Evening]

[replicarter.livejournal.com]

Irritated to leave her prisoner behind, Eighth certainly looks distracted as she walks into class late. After passing the sign in sheet around, she eyes them all carefully.

"Surprise, sweethearts. Pop Quiz." And she passes it out with a small, secret smile.

You've captured the child of a warlord from a distant galaxy and have learned all about his world, his technology and his military forces – albeit from a child's perspective. You, of course, have a superior fighting force and you are great need of the superior technology of this distant galaxy. This particular far-off civilization has previously been ravaged by a similar army to your own and should be somewhat prepared. However, that previous invading force COULD see your army as invading their territory and that you are attacking their personal enemies and would be affronted and therefore attack you back. (A) Should you attack? (B) Should you collect more information?

"After you finish your pop quiz, please read the following document. Being able to openly state your intentions and deceiving the other party is a skill for every tactician, as well as being able to tell little white lies that cover up exactly what you are up to.

Pair up and roleplay, as it where, a little disinformation yourself. Try to find out your partner's Valentine's Day plans while spinning your own tale of deception.

Oh -- I'm afraid I will need to speak to you again, Mr. Mitchell. See me after class for real this time."

TELL ME SWEET LIES

Anakin looked around at his classmates and prepared to lie like a lying thing that lies.

"Hey, Anakin," Callisto said. "Need a partner?"

Re: Pair up

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin grinned. "Sure. So do you and Angel have big plans?"

Re: Pair up

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"No, we're not really planning anything big," Since she'd told him to surprise her, and thus Angel was doing the planning which wasn't a scary concept in the least, that was true enough. "You got anything planned?"

"Oh you know: dinner, dancing, candlelight," Anakin said, then rolled his eyes. "By myself. Because I'm not seeing anyone and this doesn't seem like a day for friendly dinners that wouldn't end up completely misinterpreted."

Bridge bounces around and looks for a partner.

Re: Pair up

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Bridge? You partnered up yet?"

Re: Pair up

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Nope!" Bridge answers cheerfully. "And I'm assuming you're not either or you wouldnt've asked. So... yes. Let's do this thing, then."

Re: Pair up

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Yes, let's," Sam said, scooting her chair over. "So, any plans for Valentine's Day?"

Re: Pair up

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well, Rory asked me out," Bridge answers, completely truthfully. And totally doesn't glance over at Anakin and attempt to send pleasedontkillme, pleasedontkillme, pleasedontkillme vibes in his direction.

Ivanova looks around for a partner.

Re: Pair up

Pip slides into the seat across from her. "Yo."

Re: Pair up

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Ivanova lifted an eyebrow at his greeting. "Yo," she replied, her lips twitching in a wee smile at the syllable she never thought to hear coming out of her mouth.

Re: Pair up

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"So, we're supposed to lie about our plans while figuring out the other persons, right?"

Re: Pair up

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"Precisely," Ivanova replied, resting her chin on her free fist, her other still bound across her chest in its sling. "So, have any plans for Valentine's?"

Alanna tried her best to vanish into her chair.

And really, since everyone probably knows a large part of what Aeryn's going to be doing on Valentine's Day, she just shrugs and says, "I'm recreating the Valentine's Day massacre at the bank. You?"

Re: Pair up

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Sneaking home to my world to spend time with my boy." Alanna replied, without any emotion.

Re: Pair up

[can_be_more]

"Have fun with that," she says, because she's wonderful at conversations like this normally. "Where's your world?"

[Of course it's bedtime...]

Re: Pair up

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Um, a few dimensions over. How are you planning on recreating the massacre?"

Susan considers going invisible, but decides against it and glances around for a partner.

Parker waves to her. "Hey, Susan. Haven't seen you in a while."

Re: Pair up

[http://users.livejournal.com/susan_death_/]

"Hi, Parker," replies Susan. "How's the ankle?"

Re: Pair up

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Fine, now." Parker's never going to stop feeling a little guilty about that. "So. The excitement of Valentine's Day. Or not."
