Relationships: How To Do It The Right Way - Monday - Period Three

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Marshall had handwavily asked the students to meet him at the Danger Shop today. It looked like a normal classroom for the moment.

“Okay guys, today we’re going to cover where a good place to meet future girl/boyfriends is. I am not going to say that these rules are set in stone. Love is a very mysterious thing and can strike anywhere,” Marshall said. “You could meet your future husband or wife in a ball pit at McDonald’s. Just make sure they had an okay reason for being in the ball pit in the first place. There are some sick weirdos out there...”

“So, let’s start with bars. Bars...great place to meet people, yes. Great place to meet potential boy or girlfriends? Not so much. Most people at bars are looking for, well, you know what they’re looking for,” Marshall said. “Not that is a bad thing. But this class is about relationships, not one night stands. Weddings and funerals? Also not good. It’s just wrong to pick up people at funerals. Weddings seem like a good idea but single women are usually emotional wrecks during weddings and the men are most likely drunk. Any number you get from weddings should be dialed with caution.”

“Good places to meet people: schools, the park, places with karaoke, laser tag, grocery stores…pretty much any place where you are doing normal everyday things. It’s less pressure to be cool for everyone involved,” Marshall said. He paused. “Okay, laser tag and karaoke aren’t really normal but if you find somebody interested in either then they are definitely a keeper.”

“So you’re at laser tag, the grocery store, whatever and you find somebody you’re interested in. That’s only half the battle. You’ve got to actually start on a conversation and ask for a date,” Marshall smiled. “Which is what we’ll be doing today.”

“I’ve assigned you all a partner and a place. One of you will have the job of asking the other person out on a date,” Marshall said. “Good luck.”

Chris was listening, though he hoped he wouldn't have to go through this step for a long time... if ever again.

Brooke was listening, if wondering why she'd ever be playing laser tag.

Well. Alright. This class wasn't so bad today. She could handle this one.

Inara listened to the lecture, really liking this professor very much so far. What he said made sense.

Anemone had her crayons out, and was busy drawing pictures of disastrous dates as she listened.

Funerals? Dick couldn't get over that part of the lecture. Seriously, funerals?

Summer was listening. This was going to be...interesting.

Oh, Francine listened. She listened with all her might. When she wasn't trying to control the gales of laughter at the idea of her being suave enough to ask somebody out.

Hit on people!

The Danger Shop will turn into whatever place Marshall assigned you. Remember, you want a date, not a one night stand.

The Grocery Store – Bumblebee/Inara

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Bumblebee has to ask Inara out on a date.

The Park – Chris/Francine

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

And it’s not just any park. It’s Central Park at midnight. Scary, huh? Find romance among bums and thieves. Francine has to ask Chris out.

Karaoke – Worf/Summer

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Worf has to ask Summer out. You get extra points for singing.

A Funeral – Lucas /Angela

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Don’t worry, it was nobody either of you were particularly close to. Lucas has to ask Angela out.

Laser Tag – Brooke/Ino

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

You two are on opposite teams. Oh! It's like some Shakespearean tragedy! Brooke has to ask Ino out.

A Bar – Anemone/Dick

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Anemone has to ask Dick out.

The TA!

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Once he pings in feel free to talk to him.

Re: The TA!

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris was around.

Talk To Marshall

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

If you want.

OOC

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Almost used all my Marshall/Lily icons. Almost.

Feel free to slowplay these to death 'cause I get the whole timezone thing. Well, okay, I don't because I live on the East Coast and we all know that's the right time. Get with the program, people!

Re: OOC

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

East Coast is totally the right time, yes.

Except when it's 4:45am and I've been awake for an hour because my body decided it hates me.

Funerals are insane. The chicks are so horny, it's not even fair. It's like fishing with dynamite. Grief is nature's most powerful aphrodisiac, look it up.

Also, Central Time is the right time. We get our TV shows an hour earlier and thus get to go to sleep earlier! We don't have to stay up late to see how whether or not someone was convicted on Law & Order!
