Cooperating with People you Hate, Friday 4th period

Class was back in the Danger Shop, and Lana looked faintly concerned, which meant you probably should be, too.

"I'm not convinced this exercise will work with non-lethal incentives, but we're going to try it, and I encourage you all to take it as seriously as if it were life or death." The lack of killing students was definitely nice when you were a student, but it did make planning lessons more difficult.

"Today's task is to get to the top of that plascrete wall." She pointed at the tall edifice behind her. "Whichever team makes it to the top first - without use of the Force or other powers - will get ice cream. Or rather, gift cards to the ice cream shop, because I didn't want it melting first. However, before you get there, you each must complete a task."

A fair distance in front of the wall were two plinths with buttons on them. "One person from each team will step up to one of these, and you'll each press a button. If you both press green, you'll both continue on as you were. If you press red and your opponent presses green, you will get a grappling hook and your opponent will get doused in lubricant. However if you both press red, you both get doused in lubricant. So you must decide - how badly do you want to try to win, and how much can you trust somebody on the other team?"

She really wished she had popcorn for this.

"What was it Faith used to say in these situations?" she mused, pretending to think about it for a second. "Ah, yes, 'I am taking you down with me, sucker!'"

Well, Faith said 'fucker,' but there were children present, and Ghanima was still a teacher. Which was why modeling consent via negotiations was important.

"May the best win," she said sweetly, and brought her hand down on the red button.

So now they were both lubed up, but that wasn't really going to slow either down.

Anakin leaped--non Force-assisted but still pretty sprightly--towards the climbing edifice.
