Management Theory [Tuesday, January 13, 4th period]

When the students arrived (past the levers, down the roller coaster, into the lab coats, et cetera), they would find Yzma resplendent on a giant throne. Toby was next to her, shirtless and shining and way too excited about their uniforms still.

"First impressions are very important in management," she told them as she gazed way, way, way down upon them. "Today, you will work on the way you walk into a room." She clapped her hands and a doorway appeared out of thin air next to the students. She clapped again and a rack of swooshy capes in various colors appeared next to it.

"Take the cape and walk through the door!" she announced grandly. "If you do it correctly, you will be rewarded with a crack of thunder! If you do it with less than absolute authority, you will hear a different noise. And then I will turn you into a cow."

She probably wouldn't do that second bit.

She pointed at a student at random. "You there!" Like she was going to learn their names. That's why they were in uniforms. "Begin!"

It was beginning to disturb Inara how well she was able to perform the tasks that Yzma was asking of them. Once the cape was securely fastened, she promptly began ignoring the cape, striding quickly but firmly through the doorway, nose and chin slightly raised.

It should be noted that Inara's hair, dress, and cape all swooped majestically as she pointedly noticed absolutely no one else in the room. After all, the whole point of dressing and swooping and striding was so that others would notice her.

Companioning was good for learning to be properly noticed, without looking like you were trying to be noticed.
