[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."

"Number two, because does anyone ever get along *fantastically* with a roommate?"

Shiro thought back to living with Chiaki, Ororon, the old bag and his brother. He grimaced.

"No." He admitted, "I don't think so."

"Not number two, then?" Lana said. "Um... One?"

"Nono." Shiro shook his head, "you were right the first time. I was agreeing with you. No one gets along with a roommate." He snorted, his arms folding, "they're evil little pricks who trap you in stuff and then leave you there and forget about you for..." He continued muttering.

"Wow... sounds like yours is even worse than most. Maybe you could request a room change?"

Shiro blinked.

"Its not that bad..." he said carefully, "I mean, sure, James is...well...James...but I think there are worse people to be paired with.....right?"

"I don't know," Lana said truthfully. "I suppsoe it depends on your perception of things."
