Cons & Confidence Men: How Not to Get Taken, Class 2

[magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com]

Sophie had listened to Radio, and suspected no one would really be concentrating on schoolwork today. Not even amusing schoolwork. Those with family or others visiting would be thinking about them; those who didn't, would be thinking about it too.

"Today, we have a TV day. A choice of films; The Girl Nikki. A spy film with several double-crosses. Cancellation Slip. A series about a spy abandoned by his people. Bullseye. A freelance bodyguard who has to be a human chameleon to accomplish his objective."

"Choose any of the films or series mentioned, and point out a confidence strategy that you can use in the future."

[ooc: ocd up, and due to Field of Dreams we have movie day!]

"Nothing," Emma muttered, switching to verbal speech in hopes of deterring the other girl. "I just don't like being fussed over during class."

It was also easier to lie when talking like this, than when using her telepathy.

See this face, Emma? This is Karla's 'not believing you' face.

She's making it right now. At you.

"So after class I'm allowed to fuss?" she whispered.

"No, after class you are going to go back to the warm and loving embrace of your family and be a happy daughter," Emma retorted quietly. "Don't be dense, darling, it doesn't suit you."

"Actually, after this class, I have several others," Karla reminded. "But point taken."

She just wished things weren't so...fraught with her parents.

"I'm really looking forward to the 'since you've been dead' talk," she added, turning back to the teevee.

"'Dear mummy and daddy, since you died, I grew taller, grew tits, and discovered a fondness for people who are horrible influences in all the best ways. The end,'" Emma offered.

"Well, taller, anyway," Karla said with a slight grin. "Though the horrible influence thing is true."
