fandomhigh | Charming Your Way Into and Out of Things, Monday, Period 2

Rejoice, class! The Spirit was actually present this week! They were in a normal classroom, and he was sitting on the edge of the desk up front with his legs stretched out, and his hat on the desk next to him. The rest of his outfit wasn't going anywhere, though. Not even the coat. He nodded in greeting at the students. "Hello, kids," he said. "I am the Spirit, and this is Charming Your Way Into And Out of Things. If you're in the wrong place ––" He smiled at them. "–– please consider staying anyway. Charm helps everyone and makes the world a little bit sweeter for all of us."

It had for him, at least. And he was technically dead so he needed all the sweetness he could find.

"I apologize for my absence last week, but I was urgently needed back in Central City. My thanks to Mr. Langstrom for stepping in." And for accepting mysterious letters as a valid mode of TA recruitment. "I won't make you introduce yourselves again, so this week, we're getting right to the basics. What all of you kidlets think charm is, and what it's good for. And after some discussion on that point, I'll ask you to pair up and practice a very basic charming action: complimenting each other. Now, let's get to it."

There's not much of a lecture, but the Spirit wants you to discuss stuff with him as a group! "So, come on. What do you consider charming? What's a charming person have? A dashing smile? Excellent manners? How do you think a person can benefit from being charming?"

Or just listen to others say stuff. That's cool too.

This guy looked almost exactly like Theo thought a guy named The Spirit would look. And he was really glad the guy was back because another week of teaching would have been awful since he had no idea how to do.

"Uh, I guess charming's...someone who can make you smile," Theo decided. "Even when maybe you don't wanna smile."

"Well, charm is essential to making the world a more friendly place," Rilla said. "There's no reason to go around being rude all the time when you could just...ignore the unpleasantness and obvious oddities."

Like a man in a mask teaching the class, for one.

"I think a lot of time someone who's charming can get away with a lot of stuff others can't," Mercy suggested.

"The most charming thing is really engaging when you're talking to someone," Mira said. "And if you can engage them enough, they won't even see the Bothan stunner coming, which will give you plenty of time to see if there's a bounty you can pick up on them."

Yes, that was how she benefited from her charm. Violently, and then monetarily.
