What It Takes To Be A Badass | Friday | Period 2
Loki didn't really know what the fuck to think of the stupid ass flying biting fish outside but he knew he wasn't in the fucking mood to deal with it. Not today. He'd go out later and play baseball with their fucking heads.
"I'm glad that everyone looks to have their faces intact," he said and left the situation outside to that. "Now, we're going to talk about something that most people take for granted when trying to be badass. Talking. If you want people to believe you, you've gotta be able to talk the talk. Sure, some of you might think your look is all you need but a few words here and there can be enough to strike fear and intimidation into people larger and stronger than you."
Loki had done that enough. He knew how to be so specific and so grotesque that he could make grown men cry. "So, here's some things to remember. Don't fucking stutter. The minute you look like you're showing weakness, you're going to be thought of as a pansy ass. Don't use big fucking words. If you start spouting off shit that only you and the members of Mensa know, you're just going to confuse people. If you're going to lecture them, talk fast and make sure your details are strong. Don't just reiterate the same point over and over. Make sure they know how you're going to beat their asses or how you're going to terrorize them. If you're going to curse, don't sound nervous about those words. Act like those words are yours and that you invented them. And be fucking confident. You're not going to do any fucking damage if you're acting like you're about to piss yourself."
He hoped no one did that here. "So, that's what you're going to do. Stand up and talk. Try and make me believe you know what you're doing. Oh, but there's a catch."
There always was.
"I'm going to give you the subject and you have to tell me about it or convince me of something. Make me change my mind. Act like you know your information and this is a fucking cake walk? Got it? Let's go."
