fandomhigh | Networking to Success: Wed, Period 1 (5/14/08)

Nathan? Wearing a suit and tie as always.

"Welcome to Networking to Success," Nathan said. "I'm your teacher, Nathan Petrelli. You can call me Mr. Petrelli. That includes those of you who may have a more... informal relationship with my brother, Peter." Why no, he wasn't looking at anyone in particular here. Not at all.

"Unless you're hoping to live the life of a hermit, you're going to need to know how to network. That is, you're going to need to meet people, make a good impression, learn how you can help them and how they can help you.

"With today's class we're going to start with the basics." Nathan grinned. "This is one of the few classes where introducing yourself actually is part of the cirriculum. But we are going to put a spin on it."

Nathan passed around a handout. "Handshakes are an important part about introducing yourself. As you can see, how you shake hands can make or break your first impression. So I want you to go around and introduce yourselves to one another. That's name and a fact about yourself. Doesn't have to be fancy. Where you're from or your favorite hobby is fine. Do all that with a handshake and let the other person do the same to you. Try to get as many people as you can. The more you learn this week will help you with next week.

"I'm here if you have questions. Or you can talk to Lana, who's the TA."

Romeo smiled and flexed his finger muscles, preparing to shake as many hands as possible.

[OOC: Very very SP until 4-ish.]

Dick stepped up to Romeo and held his hand out. "Dick Grayson. Nice to meet you."

"Romeo Montague," Romeo returned. "I am pleased to meet you as well."

"Does being happy about meeting each other count as a fact about us?" Dick asked.

"I forgot we were supposed to give a fact," Romeo returned. "Can the fact about me be that I don't follow directions well?"

"Sure," Dick said. "And my fact will be that I like to wait for somebody else to give a fact first."

"We're quite the fascinating pair, are we not?" Romeo said. "I'll give you two more facts for your pains; I am to be a senior, and I am from Verona Beach."

"I think I can match that," Dick said. "I'm an incoming junior from Gotham City. I'll even one-up you. I have a motorcycle."

"I've never been on one," Romeo said. "I did have a car, but it's at home." And probably not so much his anymore.

"My motorcycle's not here either," Dick said. "I'll probably get it whenever I go back home for a visit."
