CJ looks smitten, and the fact that she's reading the school paper only makes it worse.


301--3rd period

Still on family, gang. Being here, at this school, you've formed bonds. I would like a six degrees diagram of your closest relationships, followed by theirs followed by theirs. This will wind up looking like a mind map, but it's really useful in persuasive communication when you understand who knows who and how to push those big, threatening buttons. Start now, you'll probably want to list people. The whole thing,artfully done, will be due Monday.

401--5th period

I'm so glad none of you feel a need to hold back in this class. That's good. I love that you express yourselves. Now...I have the video of the SotU, and we're going to watch it. Because i am a benevolent despot, we're watching it on mute. Jump in at any point and comment on the nonverbals. Gestures, expressions, body language, both positive and negative.

"I'm surprised. She's kind of... outgoing. She was dating Rover, the old head of security."

"Oh, yes. Gotcha now," Elizabeth nodded. "So, she's dead. Huh."

"Yep," she said. After a pause, she added, "And I wonder what it means about me that saying that doesn't seem weird to me anymore after some of the other things I've seen and heard here."

Elizabeth giggled. "I know what you mean. Strange has been redefined since I came to Fandom."

"That's quite the understatement."
