Communication: Week 1 (Thursday, P5)

[silent-robert.livejournal.com]

Silent Bob has never quite looked the part of a teacher, not even without his hetero lifemate - who was, surprisingly, completely absent. Bob did keep looking towards the window with some kind of trepidation, as if not sure who had gotten into the grappling hooks and was about to make an appearance at any moment.

He was wearing a 'HELLO MY NAME IS' badge, but the name on said badge was 'Jay'. Students he'd had before got a little wink to play along as they would take a sticker for themselves.

He also had his ever-present whiteboard (very handy for remaining silent) and the title 'COMMUNICATION'. When everyone had settled, he skipped the introductions and spoke.

Yes, spoke.

Silent Bob said, "Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy, and mutual valuing." Without saying another word, he wrote 'TYPES OF COMMUNICATION' on one side of his board and then 'REASONS TO COMMUNICATE' on the other, turning back towards the class and leaning against the teacher's desk with that expectant sort of 'your turn' look on his face.

[[OCD on the way up. Name thing will be explained in the threads. Today is also my first day of class, so I'll be gone for a chunk of the afternoon but will be around to play later on. Bob is still looking for a TA. Play away!]]

"Nice to meet you, Cassandra. Do you want me to...?" He trailed off, picking up his pen and motioning to her nametag.

"Oh, um, thanks." She offered a grateful grin along with the nametag.

Sam smiled again and wrote her name out before offering her the nametag back. "There you go. You're a new student, right? I just mean I haven't seen you around before."

"New," she nodded in confirmation.

"Are you getting around okay? I know this place can be a little daunting to newcomers. I've only been here for about a year."

Cassandra nodded, "Yeah. I've got a good sense of direction."
