301--Theory
Yesterday you played poker. You were to watch one another for body language. Poker is all about reading people. Today, we're playing poker again, but this time were upping the stakes. We're playing for real money. Each of you come and get fity dollars, in singles and change please. Please pay attention to how your own, as well as others, body language changes now that it's for actual cash...which, yes Anya, you will get to keep all your winnings. Go.

[Sharply] No strip poker, Chip!

*Metaphorical* losing of shirt. Used casually to indicate that I'm going to take more money than he's got and the only thing of value that he's got is his shirt -- which he will then have to give to me.

Although, Lindsey, if you're up for it, strip poker could be a great idea. [blinks innocently at CJ] It would really heighten the ability to read other people's body language if they didn't have clothes to disguise it, right? Plus we could examine how people lie to each other *and* how they act when they feel vulnerable and exposed at the same time.

[Sighing and rolling her eyes, she looks completely exasperated]

Shut up, Chip.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Shutting up. [leans over to Lindsey] Maybe after class?

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

You wish, Harkness.

*Lindsey in no way considers this proposal. In no way at all.*

And what makes you think you'll win?

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Long experience and practice. I have a lot of skill that I use when needed. Of course, it all depends on whether it's going to be a short, quick one or a long, slow one.

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Uh...right. Moving on.

You think anybody else is gonna show? Or is it just you and me and a pile of money?

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Well I'm trying to convince Parker and Zero to show since my pseudo-parents are going off to shag their lover tonight (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/372645.html?thread=17561765#t17561765). But I have no objections to you and me alone. Do you?
