"No, look, I -" Bob stopped abruptly as the students began filing in, and gave the room's console a dirty look. He was not at all sold on what it had decided was a properly relaxing meditation room, but he wasn't about to argue with it in front of class. Mostly because he didn't think he was winning.

"Get comfortable," he told them all. If you could. He was just going to pace as he talked. "Now that we've had a bit of fun and games with magical influence, you should all have a better idea of how you stack up against something like that and what it feels like. The next step is learning to fight it. The best way to do that starts with knowing it's happening. Not all magical influence is as blatant as a rock yelling 'tell everybody about me!', after all."

He waved them toward the squishy pillows and light-up...whatever they were. "Most techniques to learn your own mind are fairly similar and start with meditation, so that's what we're doing today. Whenever you're ready."

He'd just wait.

Calmly

Boggle at the room.

"This isn't something you'll finish completely today," Bob said dismissively. "What I'm doing is showing you how to start; I highly recommend doing it on your own. If you have any questions now or later, let me know. For now, we'll start with me guiding you, so get comfortable, relax, close your eyes if you like, and listen to my voice."

[Mod your meditation experience! Tips here; he'll mostly be going for calmness and then leaving you to awareness of your own thoughts.]

The ghost is in, and in a very good mood after this weekend.

Once she pings in.

I never realised how many meditation tapes and videos were out there. Eesh.

Nathan Byrn

Nathan wasn't always the easiest person to relax but he'd give it a try. He sat down, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to relax his body.

Elsa of Arendelle

Elsa was quite happy to make herself comfortable against one of the pillows and try to calm herself down. After the whole robo-baby in Ethics class... thing... she could really use some relaxation exercises and some inner-self-awareness... whatever.

The room was colorful, but not in an unpleasant way, and she found herself idly wondering where to get some of these squishy pillows for herself.

Elsa is here! On her own! No robobaby to be seen!

... If that was because she'd managed to get Ronan to take it or because she'd stashed the thing in a closet before class and ran ~~hasn't been played out yet~~ was anybody's best guess.

Anders

Anders had developed a tendency to be very aware of his body whenever Nathan was around, which normally wasn't a problem but got rather in the way of meditation. He sat on the other side of the room, nestled smong the pillows, and closed his eyes in an attempt to focus on Bob's voice,

Vider Bearskin

Meditation on its own was boring. Vider supplemented it by playing solo frenzy games, since controlling the frenzy was the main purpose of a berserker meditating in the first place.
