[Tactics of War] Monday 6-8 PM

[replicarter.livejournal.com]

Eighth purses her lips and glares at her students as they file in.



“I hope you are all well and had a pleasant spring break. I apologizing for missing class two weeks previous but I see you survived my absence. Pity.

Now, please pull out your notebooks and pay sharp attention and take good notes.”

She lectures on the English Civil War (called the Anarchy) between King Stephen and the Empress Maud which occurred around 1135 to 1154 A.D. It should easily be obvious who Eighth supports as the rightful ruler of England, especially considering her marriage choices and ability to form worthy allegiances with the right men.

She also tells the story of how Maud escapes from a besieged castle – once cloaked in white and lowered from a snowy tower wall and thus camouflaged and once carried out as a ‘corpse’ and easily whisked away to safety once passed the guards.

“Now, for your in class assignment – and do turn it in before leaving - I want for you to write three discussion points for next week’s class concerning the difficulties and challenges women leaders have in wartime. If, for example, you come from the background of Miss Sun where gender is irrelevant, please discuss examples from cultures that are not as enlightened as hers.

Also, I would appreciate it, Miss Carter, if you remained after class for a moment, thank you.”

[[ooc: *sniff* This is RC’s last class teaching at FH. Much love, kisses and happy mind probing to you all.]]

Eighth rolled her eyes right back.

"You know," said Janet quietly since this was her last chance, omg. "I wouldn't have had a problem with you if you weren't powerhungry and out to destroy all organic life everywhere."

"Oh, whatever," she mumbles back.

Janet shook her head a little sadly. "You know I'm telling the truth."

Cameron signed in and hopes he won't get any complaints about that extra assignment as he never got the instructions for it.

Upon seeing Cameron, she vaguely remembered that she had forgotten something very important. She made a note to buy a planner.

Parker signed in, looking mildly nervous that the aspiring galactic overlord was back. Didn't she have an elsewhere to be?

Re: Sign in.

She flashed Parker a wide, cruel smile. She liked this one.

Sometime after class had started, Mac quietly slipped into the back of the classroom (well as quiet as one can be on crutches) and leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.

If one didn't know better, you'd think he'd was watching Eighth throughout the entire class to make sure she didn't try anything.

[ooc:Just establishing Mac being there. He won't attempt interaction until after class]

RC ran and hid under her desk. She glowered and looked away.

Aeryn signs in.

However, at actually being called on her background, that's when Aeryn gives a sharp-edged little smile and walks out of class without a word.
