My Life as a Buddy Movie | Period 2 | Wednesday | June 3

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

For some reason, getting out of bed and heading to his way too fucking early class had been a lot easier for Loki today. In fact, everything felt a little easier and he even looked more relaxed while waiting on the students to file in. Once they had, he didn't even move from his sprawled position to start the lecture.

"Compromise," he said airily, "is one of the cornerstones of working with someone. I mean, you very well can't have any kind of good working relationship without some push and pull from both sides."

And that innuendo hadn't come out accidentally. Huh. Loki smiled at the class, almost genuine today. He liked his class. He really did.

"Compromise is the finding agreement through communication through mutual terms of acceptance. You're finding a fucking middle ground and you're sticking to it. If you refuse to compromise, you're probably going to be labeled as a power hungry freak who's close minded and restrictive and no one's going to want to work with you."

He'd known people like that.

"And I wouldn't want any of you to be labeled that," he said with a bigger grin. "I'm sure most of you are used to getting what you want but partnerships require you to set that aside. You can't put yourself fucking first or it's going to become a dictatorship, not a partnership and I really don't want to work with someone who tries to fucking order me around. You must be willing to give things up in order to come to the best possible solution for the both of you. You have to flexible. You have to be willing to bend and push and pull. That's how compromise works."

Flexibility was one of his most favorite things in the entire fucking world, oh yes.

"For today, I want you to be flexible with another person. Compromise. Bend. Give and take. What are you compromising about? Let's say...you and your partner share a room. And you both need it that night for some...special time with a special friend. You're going to have to convince your partner that you need the room. Come to a compromise with each other. Work the kinks out. Talk to each other. Communicate."

Loki's mind was really stuck on flexibility, apparently.

Once the lecture was completed, Loki gestured for them to get started and kept an eye on the class.

There's a lot of pretty people here, after all.

...of course Fiona's eyes went to Griff. That was relatively normal. What she was thinking once she did, however, was a bit out of the norm. She turned a little pink before finally looking away.

Gabrielle . . . kept trying to stare, except she didn't have the attention span for it, somehow.

She kept wanting to see if she could go home for the weekend yet . . .

Riggins...was zoning out instead of looking at people. But it probably wasn't hard to guess what he was thinking about.

Jon was taking notes.

Not on the lecture, but on the fact that people seemed a bit weird this morning.

Ellie put her head down and tried not to stare at anyone. Or think about anything.

Griff was generally just staring at the table and avoiding looking at anyone.

Except for how he'd glance up for a moment, turn red and look down again. He needed to just go into hiding for the embarrassment.

Ender wasn't looking at anyone. Or anywhere, as he fought an internal battles with irrational forces he'd really rather not deal with.

It was a hobby.

...there was a lot of people in this room that Jack could be staring at. In fact, he probably was. And making sure that his arms were on display. Everyone wanted tickets to the gun show.

Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Pair up and try to come to a compromise with your partner on getting to use the dorm room for a night with your special friend! Be flexible!

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Effy might actually be more willing to work with a compromise than usual today. Might want to make the most of the good feelings while she's got them.

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[cutsthestrings.livejournal.com]

Fiona was feeling all sorts of out of sorts, enough so that she was sharpening her pencil with a fingernail.

...hopefully someone approached her.

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley sat, frowning a bit. He really didn't think the scenario applied to him.

As much as he was wishing it could. He certainly wasn't about to approach anyone for the activity.

Gwen yawned and stretched languidly, looking about for a partner.

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[awesomebigsis.livejournal.com]

Ellie still wasn't looking at anyone as she waited for a partner.

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

He wasn't sure who he wanted to pair up for this, but he was open to anyone who wanted him.

The TA's [BM 06/03]

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Loki might be wondering if they're both flexible.

Re: The TA's [BM 06/03]

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Effy was very flexible, thank you, and she would probably tell anyone who asked as much.

She was around, and maybe even looking more approachable than usual.

Re: The TA's [BM 06/03]

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Yah, you betcha she was flexible, and like Effy, she'd be up for sharing the info.

Lounging in a chair, she looked entirely cheerful and easily approachable did anyone require her services.

Loki [BM 06/03]

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Loki is DEFINITELY flexible.

Re: Loki [BM 06/03]

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber set on his desk an iced white chocolate mocha (it had really sounded good this morning) and an assorted box of yummy looking donuts.

Speaking of flexible...

"I've got pomegranate today," said Daisy, offering one half out to Loki as she came around at the end of his class with a little smirk on her face.
