At the front of the classrom she stands, looking well rested and as professional as ever...except that she's wearing a man's button down shirt and a tie...with a denim skirt.

leeadama and caroline_todd are the only students enrolled in this class. Today is devoted to a discussion of whether to continue with only 2 students, or if they can transfer into 201.

*When you enter there are two paper cups on your desk. They both have the same amount of a clear, odorless liquid. On the board is written: DO NOT DRINK FROM THE CUPS!!!*

I had this unit planned long before the events of the weekend, and I think it is particularly fitting that it's happening now. This weekend was an excellent bonding experience...you know, like paintball war games but with...*blinks*...moving on.

Ok, trust.

Trust effects the manner and efficiency of communication. But what does that mean? In the traditional sender/message/receiver paradigm, in order for the message to be conveyed clearly there is a level of trust that is required between the sender and receiver. This is why advertisers use *uses air quotes* doctors in ads for pain medication. This is why used car salesmen talk about cutting a deal. A level of trust makes..and this relates to last week...trust helps facilitate influence and persuasion.

Ok, so the trust game. In front of you are two cups. You may ask me 5 questions to decide which one to drink and which one to dump. If you trust me now, you will believe what I say, if you don't, you won't. Either way, Dr. House has been made aware of this game and is standing by.

Fire away.

((ooc:each player ask in a new thread please. It'll help keep the confusion to a minimum...like how the Tick's interviews went. You know.))

*Jack mumbles something about evil teachers and helpless students and underwear and unfair payback and goes for a drink of water*

*She smiles and watches him walk out, then walks over to a tablet on her desk and writes:

Jack O'Neill=A+

*Jack comes back in*

Teww duh twoof. Dat wud for duh batwoom ting, white?

(Tell the truth. That was for the bathroom thing, right?)

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Actually, no Jack. It was because I trust you to take it in stride and not hold it against me. *Smiles wickedly*

And I think you already punished yourself for what happened in the bathroom... *winks at him and walks away*

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Yo'w wucky yo'w a teachew.

(You're lucky you're a teacher.)

[OOC: Poor Jack, damn him for trusting you! Surprisingly his trust is hard to get rid of, mainly because it's even harder to get in th first place.]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((ooc: poor Jack indeed...it may be worse to be CJ's friend than her student. She picks on you cuz she likes you...in an appropriate teacher/student who has seen her mostly naked way.

And it's just lidocaine, it'll be gone in 5 minutes. Not lasting damage that will keep him from performing...um, certain things that are mouth and tongue related. ))

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Well, at least Jack's used to being picked on, have you seen Janet any of his friends?

Hee, for five whole minutes Jack won;t be able to be a smartass. He may explode.]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((Splodey!Jack would make CJ cry and I think we've seen enough of that for a while. By the power vested in me, your torture is over.))

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[Yay! No splodey! W00t! If Jack sees CJ cry he would spaz. Quietly and hardcore.]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((Now, see...did you really have to give me that plot buuny? Sheesh...))

[OOC: Wow. That reminded me eerily of Chris Rock.]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((Chris Rock?!?! CJ poisons Jack for real now. *snerk*))

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Ack no! I meant what you said. Reminded me of one of his lines "It's alright cause it's all white!"]]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((Don't care...arbitrary poisoning on the way...

Ok, not really. I got what you meant. I kinda meant for to sound that way. Two things I never say irl are 'it's all good' and 'my bad'...and yet there they are, creeping into my speech along with 'wicked'))

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Can it be poisoning with chocolate?

Dude, you should totally hear me speak IRL, it's incredibly weird and has actually scared people on several occasions.]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((me too. People question my qualifications to teach English when I clearly have little respect for it when I speak it.))

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Dude for such a grammer-nazi I sure as hell butcher it when I speak.]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((and you say dude about as much as I do. Kindred spirits of language, hee))

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Seriously it's like every other word out of my Mouth, I used to hae the most awesome Hurley-Dude icon but I switched and it got all losteded and stuff.]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((on a good day dude is my verbal punctuation...on a bad day, let's just say me=sailor))

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Oh I'm always getting in trouble for cursing, I just pair it with weird things. I called my friend a cock-bag a fwe minutes ago in fact. It was funny.]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((Anya!mun and I come up with some jewels as well. Assbitch is a fave, as well as cockholster.))
