Characters: EVERYONE
Format: ACTION/PROSE/IAMBIC PENTAMETER/LIMERICK
This log is: open
Location: Classroom D7
Summary: It's politics class! Today we're having group discussions about the disadvantages of constitutional monarchy. Or what you're having for lunch, either one.
Warnings: to be added

[your teacher is sitting at the desk, marking your homework from the previous week. There aren't many sheets in front of her, mainly because very few students actually bothered to hand in any work. She doesn't seem entirely worried by this, and will only look up if someone makes a wide movement or voices get too raised.

The tables seat six apiece and are scattered around the room with enough space to walk between them easily. There are textbooks and notes on every table relevant to the debate, although the information tends to vary wildly on what world and timeline it's purportedly from.]

ROOM FOR TWO MORE PEOPLE ON THIS TABLE, JUMP IN WHENEVER/WHEREVER <3

[allurprincess]

Ah, good because... it works...? [DID I SAY SOMETHING WRONG, GRENN?]

Whatever gave you that idea, Sora! Nothing wrooonngg.

[summerstars]

[Leaning forward to lean her elbows on the table and her chin in her hands, Grenn grimaces.]

I suppose it does. But despotism always works until they either go bad, or someone decides they don't want the ruler there. [A few of her fingers grabs the hair she can feel brushing them and gently tugs.]

I mean, you can say any given system works, you know. Until people start to suffer. [Grenn glances up at Sora from under her lashes where she's been staring at the table. She's not exactly sure what she want to say, mostly because Sora seems to not have thought about this at all, and is just (adorably) confused...]

[allurprincess]

Despotism? Is that really a word?

[lost in a sea of big words, here. Help. She grasps onto something easier.]

But then you just tell the ruler what they're doing wrong. When they see that they're making people suffer, they'd have to change.

[summerstars]

Um... yes. [Grenn has to supress a giggle, but manages to swallow it completely and just nods.] We could find a dictionary if you want to check.

[Then Sora continues on, and Grenn makes abstract figures on the table. Abstract figures she soon realizes would form the shape of the mining drone suits and the huge mining ships that once upon a time was the chosen (available) weapons for effective air and ground battle for people who had been opressed too long.]

Some people enjoy watching others suffer, Sora. Other people just don't care, just want to live their life as they want it to be, no matter who they hurt. [Grenn shrugs, but bites her lip, wondering if it's really the time and place to say things like this. Does Sora really need to know?

Grenn isn't sure why she's hesitant over this, but it's just... something. She's vaguely frustrated that someone could actually be this... innocent? idealistic? But at the same time, why the frag not?]

[allurprincess]

Everyone can change, Grenn. They just need help sometimes.

[or sometimes you need to beat them up until they see your point.

OVERWHELMING IDEALISM HI]

[summerstars]

Well, yeah. I just think it becomes a problem when thousands or millions of people have to die to make those changes... [Grenn grimaced and shook her head, rather sure this was safe to say; people had rebelled through the ages due to bad government or social situations, people died for these things.

That just never changed.

But also, that didn't mean any new government installed after rebelling was good, or stayed good.]
