Scoobying Workshop #6, Afternoon 6/27/2006 (Main Campfire)

[soldtoarmenians]

[Roster]

On the table by the unlighted campfire this time is an array of snacks - but the choices range a wee bit from Xander's usual fare of sweet, sweet, and more sweet with a side order of occasionally-healthy-but-still-sweet. There's some sweet stuff there, but it's surrounded by things like Cinnamon Altoids, mega-sour Warheads, a couple of bags of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, and really, really, really salty licorice.

Xander, his fingers finally de-splinted, waves a hand at the spread. "Help yourselves; it's there if you need a little inspiration for today's activity. Which is a really, really hard one, so you'll need a lot of practice - lemme demonstrate." He pops a piece of salty black licorice into his mouth, and makes a face.

After chewing and swallowing with a grimace, he says, "Words are great; I love words. They're pretty essential for stuff like lying and talking yourself out of kidnap situations. But sometimes on a team, you're just not gonna be able to express yourself in words. Maybe because the bad guys might hear you, or maybe because you know if you open your mouth you're gonna tell your team leader exactly what you think of that plan, and that might not be the brightest thing to do at that moment which never tends to stop me -- but you've got to do something. That's where a repertoire of expressive faces comes in handy."

Xander grabs an Atomic Fireball and drops that in his mouth, then makes another face. "Get the idea? You don't have to use the candy; it's just there if you need it. What I want you guys to do today is talk to each other about anything you want -- but no actual talking. You only get to talk with your face, not your voice."

[OCD up! Play away!]

Talky-Face!

[soldtoarmenians]

Your complex assignment: make faces at each other.

[Icon-war! Most of you have probably played this game - you comment with a "." or some other easy-to-type character, and your icon speaks for you. If you have limited icon choices, you can also just pick a neutral one and post a (reasonably-sized omg) picture as your comment -- preferably of your character, but if that's not possible, go for anybody making the expression you need. Google images is, as mentioned last week, our friend. If you do use pictures, though, please upload them to your LJ gallery or your own website, so we're not leeching bandwidth from whoever owns the original.]

Whisper or pass notes

[soldtoarmenians]

If you've got conversations that can't be accomplished by making faces, hey, it's Xander. He'll try not to notice, unless for some reason you want him to.

Re: Whisper or pass notes

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana tried to listen to the directions, but with Whitney whispering in her ear it was nearly impossible.

Finally after one particularly poisonous comment, she just couldn't take it any more. She stood up and screamed at him, heedless of the other people in her workshop. "Just stop it! Stop it! I can't take this any more!"

She burst into tears and fled from the workshop.

Talk to Xander

[soldtoarmenians]

Questions? Comments? OMGWTF booger-flavored jellybean? You can use words for this one. ;-)

This lesson is three flavours of awesome and I only wish I had the time and energy to participate as I should.

So you get Jude's one emotion other than a mellow smile.
