[Tactics of War] Monday 6-8 PM

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.]]

So you want to have Mac wander in after class for a little face off?

Janet looked around for Sam so she could ask exactly what Eighth wanted to talk to her about. If Sam had any clue.

Janet was hanging around after class--out of earshot, but keeping Eighth and Sam clearly in view.

You know, because she was paranoid slightly cautious about things like letting her best friend have a conversation alone with her evil robot duplicate.

OOC: I hope this isn't going to be a problem? If it is, I'll delete it.

1. Getting men to take them seriously especially after making comments about the placement of reproductive organs.
2. Finding new and varied ways to hurt men after they make one too many incredibly lame PMS jokes or make fun of your best friend for stupid powder-blue Mongolian-derived dresses they were forced to wear.
3. Being accused of being soft of less good at your job because of some pesky, sadly unconsummated UST your gender.

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

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]

Mac was still there after class was over.

Watching Eighth like a hawk.

1. Promoted less than their male counterparts, and scrutinized in more depth on personal affairs.

2. Still not allowed to serve in active combat positions, despite dying in support roles that take place in combat zones.

3. Persistent use of 'girl', 'woman' or 'lady' as an insult, in order to motivate soldiers to be tougher, harder, stronger. Ridiculous, when I can beat up most of the guys in the junior and senior classes who don't have super-normal abilities and maintain a decent manicure at the same time.
