The History of Sex: Workshop 6, Period 3 (Thursday, June 19)

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Barney liked just talking when he felt like it rather than waiting for students to shut up and pay attention to him. This was probably because he always assumed they were paying attention to him. "How far man has come from cave dwellers who picked a prime steak by clubbing her on the head and dragging her home to leaving a voicemail requesting a hook up. It's all about language and communication. And sex, of course."

It was much nicer all the way around, Tink thought. Especially if you had very cute hair and didn't want it messed up by all that icky head-dragging. Didn't Tink have very nice hair? She personally thought her bun was very chic today. It was always stylish, but it had an extra zing right now. Had he noticed?

"Your hair is telling people how incredibly hot you are and that it would be their pleasure to buy you a drink and take you home for some horizontal R&R," Barney told her.

Oh, oh he was ever so charming! This happy wriggle of hers said that he was ever so charming. Did they see that, children? Communication! She didn't need a boring stupid voice to be eloquent and magnificent! He didn't need jingly bell noises in order to flirt! Flirting was universal!

"Excellent point, Ms. Bell. Which is why we're having you students attempt to make a date with someone here in class without speaking in any formalized language." Barney was rather proud of this idea.

Body language, students! Body language was essential when you were dealing with interdimensional beings! No one had time to memorize four thousand different languages, and if you met someone hot at a bar, you would need to know how to communicate. How to convey very basic ideas such as "so, you wanna get naked?" and "you're not a hooker, are you?" and "you don't have Space Herpes, right?"

"All necessary and valid questions. So pair off, hook up, but remember, no 'language!'" Barney loved him some air quotes.

Except the language of loooooove. Or drunken regrettable hook-ups. Close enough! Now go!

[WHEE! CLASS!]

The Speechless Activity [6/19]

Communicate your deep desire to get to know someone else on a meaningful, physical level.

Reno considered. Reno considered for a very quick moment.

And then Reno undid all the buttons on his shirt.

He figured that would be good and straightforward.

Toby thought his big brother was totally hot and walked over to say hi.

Then he remembered he couldn't talk. He hit Reno with an interested eyebrow raise.

After a moment's thought, Gwen did her best attempt at approximating Jack's body language that she could.

Pity there was no roof handy to stand about on.

Dean grinned, finding Gwen's body language vaguely familiar. He caught her eye and gave her an eyebrow waggle.

From his seat, Sokka grinned at her and waggled his eyebrows.

Jenny lit a cigarette and stood around looking sexy-cool and basically 'like Jenny Sparks' with it.

Re: The Speechless Activity [6/19]

Sokka rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue at her.

Mac was definitely out of her element with this, whether she could speak or not.

She'd be the one sitting off to one side, hopeful that maybe someone else was just as awkward.

Re: The Speechless Activity [6/19]

[isourking.livejournal.com]

Oh, look. Someone just as awkward across the room giving her a smile and wave that tries to be nonchalant but really just looks kind of nervous.

Re: The Speechless Activity [6/19]

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

From his seat, Sokka blew her a kiss.

Kevin, already shirtless, took his bottled water and poured it over his head.

Wet was sexy. Dead sexy.

Re: The Speechless Activity [6/19]

[gobrookeyourself]

This was actually new, but Brooke didn't think she'd have any problem here. She just tried to look as hot and confident as possible.

Re: The Speechless Activity [6/19]

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

From his seat, Sokka waggled his eyebrows at her.

Re: The Speechless Activity [6/19]

[intraspective]

Ino had to grin at this. Okay, sure, totally not a problem. See the pose? Totally an invite.

Re: The Speechless Activity [6/19]

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

From his seat, Sokka winked at her and nodded.

Re: The Speechless Activity [6/19]

Yeah this wasn't actually an exercise that Dean thought was going to be a challenge. He leaned back against the wall and let his gaze rove over the others, with his coolest expression on his face.

Re: The Speechless Activity [6/19]

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn so flunked cool, but she figured flirting with Dean couldn't be that difficult. Who knew they could get graded on it?

Anyway, as she casually strolled by where he was standing and paid no visible attenttion to him whatsoever, she added a Buffy-coached and approved hair flip, then kept on walking.

Sokka leaned back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, kicked his feet up on the desk, and suavely waited for the ladies to come flocking.

Alec glanced at him, arching eyebrows inquisitively.

Francine wasn't sure she knew how to communicate I don't have Space Herpes (or wanted to know). She did have certain aspects that tended to speak for themselves when it came to attracting boys, though. Sometimes whether she wanted them to or not. In this case, she wanted them to. A deep breath tended to help with that.

Re: The Speechless Activity [6/19]

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

From his seat, Sokka waggled his eyebrows at Francine and gave her assets an appreciative glance.

Alec smirked and perched on the edge of a table, leaning back on his hands. He was going for relaxed, with lazy confidence and a hint of come-hither - let's see how it works.

Re: The Speechless Activity [6/19]

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

Toby saw that look and came hither, biting his lip as he approached.

Sam really hated this class sometimes, and it was showing in his first natural expression.
