I think it's time to work on elocution. In order to have a little fun with it, and because we are such a small class, we will be reading Fox in Socks alloud until it rolls off the tongue like a State of the Union address. Open your books...

Continuing our discussion of the week, we've addressed sex and violence, but now I want to focus on the more subtle means of persuasion...things a cynical person may call "manipulation." You've all read, or at least opened, your book, so who'd like to chime in first?

Elizabeth nods. "You're right. They'll just have to try and win this election the old fashioned way!"

"'Try' being the operative word," Rory says with a grin.

Elizabeth laughs. "Indeed it is. I really need to sit down in HQ with lists and the like, and see where we are."

"Well, Parker's off...somewhere, but she said we can use HQ if we want. And I guess Logan's taking over managing while she's gone?" she asks, the slightest trace of a blush visible when she mentions Logan's name.

Elizabeth tries not to smirk at the blush, and looks down at the desk, biting her lip.

"Yeah, I was planning on heading there. I get, ah, too easily distracted in my dorm room."

It's her turn to blush slightly.

Rory wonders what could be so distracting about a dorm room.

"Well, I'll probably end up over there at some point tonight. I need to catch up with you guys, since I joined the ticket late."

[ooc: *snerks* Wait until Rory visits 239/240 one day ;)]

"Cool. I'll try and make it tonight, but I'm gonna have some homework I expect, so I'll need to get that done first. But if I can join you, I will."

*Notices Rory and Elizabeth engaged in private conversation*

Ladies, do you have something to contribute, or would you rather pay attention to our discussion over here?...



((ooc, wanted to make sure you two were done before I said that.))

*looks up*

Sorry, Professor. We were just discussing manipulation and persuasion in the context of the upcoming elections.

[ooc: Thanks! :)]
