[Roster]

There are drinks set out on a folding table near the unlit campfire, and a couple of baskets filled with apples, oranges, and bananas, because sometimes you have to balance out all the doughnuts/twinkies/s'mores, after all. There's also a cardboard box at each end of the table, as yet unopened. Xander is standing in front of the table handing out cups.

"You'll probably each want something to drink, because I'm gonna make you talk, and some of you might be the type to get dry throats when you do this kind of talking.

Last week we looked at one specific job someone might have on a team; this time, we'll go with a skill that can be useful for anybody when you're trying to support your fellow Scooby-types -- or your flashy superpowered leader, if you have one. I figure we'll probably switch back and forth between those two things each week for most of the workshop, and look at putting them together towards the end.

So what skill comes in really handy when you're trying to investigate a crime, stop the bad guys, rescue the princess or otherwise save the day for goodness, justice, puppies, and truth?

The ability to lie your ass off.

I know that sounds kind of contradicty, like 'jumbo shrimp' or 'bad pie,' and some of you guys may not be down with bending the truth until it squeaks, but the fact is that sometimes you' might have to, at least for a while. You may need to cover for your friend with the secret identity, or your entire group that just cut class to go slay ~~vampires~~ dragons, or yourself, if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. And hey, maybe you'll get lucky enough not to need it -- but it's a skill you should have, just in case."

"I'll have to remember to pick up some mouthwash for him." Nadia tilted her head. "And you think of Germany when you're unconscious?"

"He told me to lie back and think of England," Jamie explained. "I found thinking of Germany to be less exciting."

"So you get excited when thinking about my boyfriend's homeland?"

"Well England has the Spice Girls and Elizabeth Hurley while Germany has lederhosen and people named Horst," Jamie replied. "You do the math."

"Your misconceptions about European cultures distrub me." Nadia frowned. "As does my boyfriend's predilection for touching lips with mutant boys."

"He's done CPR on other mutants?" Jamie asked.

"Um . . . you could call it that,"

"Well what should I call-"

Jamie stopped for a second.

"Wait. Your boyfriend makes out with mutants on a regular basis?"

Nadia facepalmed. "not anymore"

Jamie blinked a few times. "You'll have to excuse me. I'll be over there in the corner having my own personal 'crying game'."

Nadia nodded into her hand, despite having no idea what the 'crying game' was.
