How to Make Friends and Influence People [Tuesday, April 15, 2014]

Anakin was typing as angrily as someone texting with two thumbs onto a comlink could when the class arrived. People were being Wrong on the Internet about The Amazing Race, Anakin's favorite show, and that couldn't be allowed to stand...and Rory had taken a hard line years ago about giving people migraines by thinking very hard at them. Typing in all caps was all he had left.

"Sometimes people are stupid and wrong," Anakin began, finally looking up, "and no amount of sweet talking will fix that. Today you have three scenarios to work through: one online, one using a telephone, and one in person. Think of this as prep for your final exam: break some truth to these people."

He went back to texting. Angrily.

Oh. Elsa was doomed on so many levels, here.

"... I..."

Well, she knew how to turn on the computer. She'd learned that much.

That was about where her computer knowledge ended, utterly and completely.

Oh, Cosette would totally do that. She thought of it as a considerate gesture, granted.

"Pardon, Monsieur Skywalker," she said, quietly, so as to not draw undue attention. "But I think you may have had a little bit of a mishap with your shoes today."

Oh, silly extranet people. Silly, silly people.

Joker created two accounts, one for each side of the argument, and began arguing both points more coherently and cogently than any of the actual forum posters.

The message Joker left was very passive aggressive, full of things like, "You know, if you're secretly a superhero and have to go save the world every time you make plans, you can tell me..."

"PSSSSST!" Joker hissed at Anakin, in the loudest stage whisper ever. "BOOTS." He pointed down at his own feet, by way of explanation.

Never let it be said that Korra backed down from a challenge. Even when that'd be a good idea.

"So, rushed morning, huh?"

But Elsa just had to be taught how to use a radio the other week!

"I'm afraid I have no idea what in the world I'm looking at," she confessed, sheepishly. "I mean, I know this is a computer, and... there's something called the 'internet,' but that's about the full extent of it all..."

What did she care about teams and threads and why would anybody want to clear a cookie?

"I don't think these people would even know a troll to see one."

"That I did not." Mostly because oatmeal wasn't that much of a thing in her world. "Though I'd believe it after being around Meelo."
