How to Win Friends and Influence People Class 2: Sept. 11

Glinda was waiting at the front of the classroom, and seemed less cheery than usual. Although there were still snacks in the form of a cake and tea. "Today's lesson covers the fundamentals of handling people. They are as follows: First, don't criticize, condemn or complain. Second, give honest and sincere feedback. Third, motivate the other person to genuinely want to achieve what you are aiming for.

"Today's activity will revolve around that. I want you to pair up. You will take turns proposing the craziest idea you can think of, and the other will try to critique without coming across as namby-pamby or overtly harsh. Any questions? No? Then let's begin."

[OCD up! Up super early for SP justice. Roster, syllabus, and other fun things can be found at that link. See OOC note for how to make today more interesting.]

Jack could do this without WTFing at the girl who looked like a cross between a drowning victim and a really sloppy goth painter....though now he's thinking of going with Plan B to discuss painting goths.

"So, I'm thinking we all need flying cars," he said, dropping into a chair next to her. Pfft. Introductions could wait.

Illyria considered this. "To hurl at our enemies?"

"Well, to hurl something that big at an enemy, you don't need a flying car. A regular car will do. Or just a big hunk of metal. But cars that fly? We need that." He nodded.

"Why? Your race shows very little ability to master the sort that merely crawl on the earth."

Not overtly harsh, right?

"My.... So you're saying that your people would be better suited to flying cars?"

He was not getting huffy, really. Okay, maybe a little...

"My people are dead; they would have little use for automobiles."

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that about your family," Jack said, deflating a bit.
