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.

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!

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.

Jon sat down across from Effy and grinned. "So. Compromise. $20 and you can have the room the whole weekend."

Bribery worked better than compromise.

"What are you going to be doing with yourself all weekend?" she wondered, leaning forward on her elbows.

"Probably trying to compromise with her roommate," he told her with a grin.

"You might end up sleeping on the roof," she pointed out, smirking. "Have fun with that."

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

...hopefully someone approached her.

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.

Griff spotted Hurley frowning as much as he was about this activity and made his way over, taking a seat. "Um, if you partner with me, I'll let you take the room."

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Dude, I'll let you have it," Hurley said. "Makes more sense that way, huh?"

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"No, really, I don't need it," Griff muttered, turning red and attempting to hide behind his hand.

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"...you okay, dude?" Hurley said.

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Not really," he answered, glancing around the room.

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Anything I can do, dude?" Hurley said. "You don't look like you're one hundred percent."

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Nothing to be done," Griff sighed. "I'm just stuck in my head a bit, sorry."

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"I know what you mean, dude," he said. "So, uhhh... think we just covered the activity?"

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Yup," he nodded. "You got the room, I'm out on my rear."

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Sorry dude," Hurley said. "Next time?"

Re: Class Activity [BM 06/03]

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Sure thing," Griff replied.

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

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

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