Team-Building for Fun and Profit! - Thursday, Third Period [07/06].
If anyone couldn't tell by the class description, Prompto was kind of taking the charge with this one, and his eager bouncing that day had the added effect of a panic-driven adrenaline rush earlier when he realized his class was today when his last class had been on Thrusday, which had been a whole ordeal and--you know what? Never mind. He shook his head and focused on the task at hand, which was getting the class started and rolling now.
"Hey, everyone! Thanks for coming, and welcoming to Team-Building! For Fun and Profit, although, admittedly, mostly just Fun, but the Profit is clearly the friends we'll make along the way!"
Yes, he had been waiting way too long to use that, thank you.
"If you don't already know us, I'm Prompto Argentum, this big guy here is Gladio Amicitia," Gladio lifted his chin with a crooked grin and the dude with the specs is Ignis Scientia." A lift of Ignis' hand and a nod. "And we've been working together for a long time, through a lot of different things..."
Was there a slight pause there, a little bit of a wince, especially with the turn his dreams had been taking these last few days? Absolutely. And there was maybe something similar going on with Gladio and Ignis at that moment, too, although they were always much more subtle and reserved in literally everything, compared to Prompto.
"So we know each other," Prompto continued, "pretty well. And that is sort of our first lesson for the day. First classes are always about introductions, and when you're working with a team, it's important to get to know each other! Teams work better when you're comfortable and familiar. And knowing things like people's likes and dislikes lets you know more about their personality."
"And knowing their strengths," Gladio added, "means you can get a good idea of what they're good at and how to utilize that effectively in a way that makes the most out of what they do best."
"And knowing their weaknesses," Ignis contributed, "allows you to know what to avoid, as well as perhaps even plan ahead to know what your enemy might try to exploit to use against you."
Prompto gave a little bit of a chuckle. Leave it to Ignis to really throw in the darker side of these things, but he was not wrong! "And so," he continued, "what we're focusing on today is just getting to know each other. But not by the standard introductions that we do around here; just stating your name and why you're interested in the class doesn't create that sort of synergy we're hoping to accomplish here. We're just going to go around and talk to each other. Kind of like a mixer! If you want to put a margin on it, your goal is to take some time to talk to everyone in the class, at least a little bit, and get to know them better, even us three! We're part of the team, too. Get to know their name, what they like and dislike, some of their strengths and weaknesses....whatever might be helpful along the line of this class that'll really make the team work work, you know?
"So let's not waste any more time, we've got a pretty good size class here, plenty of people to chat with, so let's get going!"
There was a slightly awkward pause, as Prompto didn't seem to know quite how to finish it off, but, with a faintly amused snort, Gladio took a second to just clap his hands together loudly and said, "Break!" And, well, that...worked, he supposed!

There was definitely a reason that Connor was the tech genius of the group.
