Speech Comm

[Again in a turtle neck, she moves easier than the day before. Less wincing, and she's smiling radiantly. The desks are gone, replaced by small square tables and chairs.]


301--Theory

Today we're going to discuss non-verbal communication. Body language. It's essential that we know how to read one another because nonverbal communication makes up more of the message than you'd imagine. Words delivered flatly do not pack the same punch as a message accompanied by a physical manifestation of ethos, pathos, and logos.

So today...we play poker. [She passes out decks of cards and chips] Pay attention to the body language of your fellow players. You'll be expected to use this info tomorrow, so you can take notes if you need to. I've got cheat sheets and rules on the tables for those of you who don't know how to play Five Card Draw.


((as a player, you need to try to describe in detail your physical reactions...for your fellow players work tomorrow. Thanks!))

[Jack notes how many she has discarded and deals her three to replace them. His manner remains relaxed and casual.]

"Shh," Rory says. "You knew what I meant." She bites her lip, carefully arranging her hand with an air of great concentration.

Anya picks up her cards and smiles very BIG. She looks around, trying to read the others.

She places two cards down and announces, "I'll take two."

Anya picks up her new cards and is very pleased. She still has her smile and now has a gleam in her eyes. Oh yeah, she's taking this one.

Anya smiles and sits up just a bit straighter.

"I bet two of these red chips."


ooc: do the chips have monetary amounts attached, or are they even different colors?

Boy, is this going to be the blind leading the blind...

"Err... this card says we deal out four hands of five. I can certainly do that much."

He shuffles well enough, but the cards get hung up on one another on the bridge. Blushing, he hastily deals the hands. ((Sydney, let's make it that you're on dealer's left, Paige on your left, Lily on Paige's left, my right.))

Having rearranged her hand to her liking, D'anna shrugs and puts two chips into the pot. Her expression is as neutral as possible as she leans back in her chair.

Rory frowns, and bites her lip. She puts a single chip in the pot.

Veronica takes a seat at table 4. She hopes she doesn't get stuck with partners that hate her.

Allie comes in and notices Lilly's friend sitting alone. She goes over and joins her.

*Since at least two of the girls don't seem to know how to play, Lindsey deals the first hand, starting with Piper.*


((I'm off for the night now, but Lindsey will have a tendency to smirk when he has a good hand. He'll attempt to cover it up, but he'll still smirk a bit. He'll also attempt to look bored when bluffing, but he'll still be looking around at everyone else and so he'll fail at the looking bored.))

Parker looks at her cards expressionlessly, taps them on the table, then asks for two.

Parker cocks an eyebrow at him. "Take a seat. And give us your wallet now."
