fandomhigh | Communication: Week 1 (Thursday, P5)

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!]]

Collapsey, darlings.

And confuse others with your nametags.

Answer Bob's two questions. Yes, the ones he didn't actually ask.

At the end of class, Bob pointed at a random student and asked, "What's my name?"

[[First random student to ping in wins!]]

He's copying down the whiteboard before erasing it.

So we don't fall out. *hopes this works*

Jeff Murdock

Jeff blinked. "I'm not entirely certain what you're attempting to communicate," he said, "But then I rarely am so I may have missed a bit. Communication's tricky, there's a lot of, you know, unexpected pits and everything, I wouldn't want to trip over a question or anything."

Jeff was holding the weird, scratchy note in his mother's handwriting he'd gotten on Tuesday. He held it upside down, turned it back around, held it further upside down, turned it around, and finally said, "...Bop? Bot?" He flipped it over again. "Oh! Bob. That's an interesting surname, that is."

Meg Manning

Naminé

Bob shrugged and tapped the name badge that said 'Jay'.

Meg figured she confused people enough just by looking like Jo so she put her own name on the nametag.

Jeff stared at the name badge.

Then back at the little note he had.

Two and two connected to make seventeen.

"...Jay Bob?" he said, "Doesn't that get confusing?"

Bob nodded, starting to smile a little.

Naminé drew a tiny blonde stick figure in lieu of an actual name for herself.

"I've got a hard enough time coping with one first name," Jeff said, a little sadly, "You must be an expert."

Naminé lifted her sketchpad, the page in question showing a red-haired girl holding a star-shaped fruit (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Rellyjean/namine/drawings/_whiteroom_6.jpg).

Well, she considered it an answer.

Jeff's nametag said, proudly, 'JEFF'.

It was also upside-down.

He hadn't noticed.

Summer Roberts

Jeff came up to Bob after class, suitably impressed. He was scratching the back of his head. "Er, sir, Jay Bob? I have this question, you know, I have lots of questions, I've just got to be careful about them, you never know when a question is going to come up unexpectedly."

He scratched some more.

"...How do you stop?"

Summer's nametag had 'Autumn' written on it. At least it was still a season.

"What would have made finding out my name easier?" Bob sounded so much smarter when he talked.

Bob grinned and flashed her a thumbs-up before adding 'drawings' to 'TYPES'.

Bob gave him a curious look. Stop what?
