Public Speaking [Tuesday, March 19, 2013, 1st period]

Today's Danger Shop was full of the bright lights and cameras of a television news show.

"Hi there," Josh said, looking up from where a shop-generated makeup artist was putting foundation on his face. "You guys have gotten pretty good at talking in front of each other, so it's now time to up the stakes." He waved his hand around. "Welcome to television. You're going to get made up and stuffed into appropriate attire and then you'll be on Capitol Beat to talk about the issues of the day--specifically the squirrel news strike. Please try to come up with three coherent points to make and then try to to get a word in edgewise--the other moddable hosts can talk."

He glanced down at his notes. "Oh, and when we're done, our press secretary is Jace Wayland. Congratulations, kid."

"Okay, related to the squirrels--shouldn't their replacements be, oh, I don't, something with opposable thumbs?" Josh demanded. "Or robots or something?"

"The squirrels seemed to be doing a fine job without their opposable thumbs, and I don't believe we should be judging reporters on whether they have thumbs or not," Jace said. "Seems like a nice way to get sued by some kind of union."
