Life Skills; Monday, First Period [03/13].
Guess what, everyone? Class was not meeting in the Danger Shop classroom today! It was still the Danger Shop, but it was set up to resemble whatever location had definitely been decided on last week as a potential party venue, and there were boxes of decorations, supplies, and snacks (you know, the ones that had also definitely come up during last week's planning and discussion) ready to go, even the weird stuff (assuming, of course, that there had been weird stuff, because, well, Fandom).
"Alright, guys," Summer said with a grin, her mood markedly improved and even effortless for some reason this week, "so, this week, we're continuing on the party theme, by putting our thoughts and ideas into action. Based on the discussion in last week's class that definitely happened, I pulled up everything that came up, and we're going to spend the first part of class setting up the fake party, and then we're going to actually have the fake party among ourselves. But it's not just a party. Because we get into it, we're going to talk about how to socialize and behave at a party that goes a little bit beyond the tried and true 'just get really drunk and see what happens.' This includes ideas on how to feel more comfortable mingling and talking to people at parties, as well as less awkward conversation starters for said parties.
"Now, some people are naturally social types who won't find this sort of thing hard, but there's nothing wrong if you're not as outgoing, too. I would like everyone to try to have a party conversation and employ some of these things we'll be talking about in a second with as many of your classmates as possible. Good practice if you're not naturally inclined toward socialization, and a good way to chat up your friends if you are."

She was very into sampling the refreshments. The way she'd be able to recommend specific items to her guests!
