Sensitivity Training, Thursday, September 8th

[onepunchguy]

Guy looked no happier about teaching Sensitivity Training than he did last week. The key difference, however, was that this time he was armed with a book all about this crap. So, prepare to have sensitivity shoved all up in your face. Indigo Tribe style."Apperently, in order for you all to really learn this cr--stuff, you need to be in a trusting

Trust Exercises

Pick a partner. Pick an activity. Do it.

Hope Guy doesn't laugh.

Ironically Jack felt more comfortable doing this exercises here at Fandom than he would back home. Especially if Jo was his partner. In fact if Jo was here, Jack was pretty sure she and guy would be of the same mindset of this class.

Anyhow, these were the thoughts in Jack's head as he looked around for a partner.

"You're tall," Quinn informed him. "Do you drop people? Don't tell me you drop people."

Yes, she was doing a trust fall. It sounded slightly less annoying than the dancing, and she'd spent enough time cheering to know she could catch herself if things went wrong.

"I haven't dropped anyone yet," Jack said after a moment's pause to think. "In fact, I'm really not a dropping thing kind of guy."

See if you drop things in Eureka? Things blow up. Jack preferred to not have anything blown up. Hence no dropping things.

"I'll partner with you if you think you can manage not to start dropping things now," Quinn proposed.

"All right, I promise," Jack said holding up three fingers. "Scout's honor. No dropping. Dropping things? Bad."

And there was a final nod as if that cemented the deal.

"Good." Quinn said firmly. She was going to trust him, and if he messed up, she'd kick his ass.

... metaphorically speaking. No, actually speaking. She hadn't decided.

She got into position in front of him. "On three?"

"Three," Jack agreed positioning himself behind her and... yes taking extra caution to make sure he would catch her.

Judging by her tone... she could probably kick his ass.

"Ready."

Quinn let herself fall into his arms. The thing of it was, the falling-or-flying part was one of the things she honestly missed about cheering. It almost felt too soon when she landed in his arms.

"That was pretty cool, Jack," she said, as she pushed herself back to her feet. "Thanks. I knew you didn't drop people."

"Would that be because you asked and I told you no?" Jack asked in a teasing manner. See? Grin on his face. Totally teasing.

Re: Trust Exercises

"And because you don't look like a guy who'd let a pretty girl drop on her ass." Flirting. A little. It helped to keep you in practice.

"Well, that just leads to a pretty girl turning into a pissed off girl which is no fun for anyone," Jack... Mostly joked. "So! Think you can handle catching me? Because I'm good with skipping that and the whole bit with mirrors and acting like a mime."

Re: Trust Exercises

[chief_cheerio]

"I was really hoping not to have to do the mime thing," Quinn admitted. "Just gives me the heebies. I'll catch you."

She held up a hand to stop any objection. "I used to cheer. I know how to keep people from falling down, promise."

"All right," Jack said with a nod as he got into position. "On Three?"

Re: Trust Exercises

[chief_cheerio]

"One, two..."

Quinn's arms were out, and her legs were braced so she'd be able to catch his weight.

Re: Trust Exercises

"... Three!"

And just like the Nestea plunge, Jack went backward and was caught perfectly by Quinn.

"Nice!" Jack said as he straightened himself up. "You're much stronger than I thought."
