Tonks became mental after Remus died

Hey, you don't make fun of the Don.

Last Christmas by George Michael

The 1st one is Slade's Merry Xmas Everybody

I haven't seen the rest of this episode, but here's my reading from my limited knowledge: > Walks around stifled, can barely breathe (listen to his single short hiccup of an exhale), is like a head on a stick. He needs to take a few deep breaths, to breathe through his balls as Elliot Hulse says, and get connected to the rest of his body (roll his head around, stretching his neck and feeling it, loosen his shoulders up feeling that while taking a deep breath, crack his knuckles and be aware of his hands and arms, something to twist his spine, maybe some full body circles, roll his hips around on his legs, pop a quick squat breathing into his pelvic floor, do some knee raises, and rotate his ankles. Doing everything I said would take a literal minute of his time. Without this mind-body connection and awareness, he'll have intrinsically poor body language and voice projection. He's cut off from his pelvic floor/kundalini chakra. He should be in touch with that so he can feel and realize his sexual energy. (Note: if you do this without being social with people you'll just be a creep staring at them lol.) You'd be surprised at how great women's peripheral vision and awareness is. They've maybe first detected him before he's even met them, and judged him (correctly) that he sees himself as low status and unsocial in that moment. This kills any implicit attraction off the bat. During this time, he's unaware of the social atmosphere around him. He's meandering through the crowd, seemingly aimless. He should be in a state of diffuse awareness, soaking up the vibe of the party. It's a party! People are here to have fun, albeit with people they work with (thus they need to maintain a certain level of professionality and not be getting wrickety wrickety wrecked and making out with randos. (It's not a Carnivale vibe, is what I'm saying.) He should see how people are talking and dancing, and remember to maintain a collaborative frame, NOT a competitive one! Everyone's there to have fun. 1/3

> Rolls up to the group, doesn't know anything about the conversation. That's okay. Roll up and calibrate after the fact. Issue is, they had a decently good topic going. Someone was pointing out someone, presumable a mutual acquaintance, who is knackered. Brits love getting drunk and love pointing out people who are getting inappropriately drunk. I would have looked at whomever was being pointed out, and if they look fun knackered as opposed to say falling down or depressed drunk, I would say, "Let's talk to him!" and call him over. I would wrap my arm around the drunk coworker and wish them a Happy Christmas (I would personally say a "MERRY, MESSY CHRISTMAS!" and give them a big sloppy kiss. The girls would be like, "Oh my Gawd!" By doing so, you're showing that you can let loose and be fun, but most of all that you are nonjudgmental. Setting a nonjudgmental frame is critical to establishing sexual openness in the members of the group. Then I'd introduce myself to the group. I'm introducing myself immediately after pumping the state of everyone there. You know how he needs to act like he belongs? The truth is people will assume you belong if you act like it, and won't question your place if you're having fun and inspiring fun in others. Because of how I would get physical with the drunk coworker and lighten up the otherwise somewhat stifled vibe of the group, I would introduce myself with a hug or other incidental contact. (This is a work function, so you'll need to follow mainly incidental contact e.g. the incidental parts of the DiCarlo Escalation Ladder). I would acknowledge everyone there, but I would simultaneously milk the introduction (like make the handshake longer than it typically would be. She's the one who breaks off the handshake, not you!) while maintaining intense eye contact and reading her face while simultaneously breathing into my pelvic floor doing a front reverse kegel. This way you can express your masculine energy while simultaneously read her. Milking the introduction that way is also great because she'll break off contact during the handshake fast if she doesn't like you off the bat, and linger in the handshake if she does like you and enjoys that energy that you're putting off. By shaking her hand and lingering on it while reading her face, you instantly learn her level of warmth and attraction towards you if she's not having it, back off for a bit. If she is having it, stay the course, continue escalating. From there I would start logistical screening. Who's her friend (the brunette)? (The blonde's going to be hard to isolate from her friend if it's her roommate from Uni visiting who doesn't know anyone else at the party and is depending on the blonde for a ride home. Alternatively, the brunette could just be the spouse of Mr. Porkpie Hat and isolating the blonde would be easy. You won't know unless you ask. This guy depends on Jon Hamm looking them up. Jon Hamm gives him limited, useless information, when if you simply ask, they'll give it to you off the bat! What if Mr. Porkpie hat was the blonde's husband? You need learn these things early in the encounter so that you can know what specific situation you're in and can stay focused on whatever your goal is. Another possibility: what if Mr. Porkpie hat was their slutty gay friend who's always egging them to be more sexually open? You need to know about their relationships to read them well.) More logistical screening: find out if she intends to stick around at the party. Chances are if you just pumped her state, she could have been feeling like leaving but would choose to stick around because you've made it fun. By introducing myself, I am grounding myself as a person in everyone's eyes. Before that, you're just an emotion or a feeling to the blonde. Then I would keep up with the conversation and just vibe, maintaining any physicality I can. When the chance arises (getting a drink, getting a smoke outside, simply getting fresh air outside, etc.) I would isolate her. If she doesn't have any of her own reasons for wanting to leave the group, I would say, "Let's ..." and make a suggestion. If she's down/eager, I would tell her to tell her friends that we're headed off to do whatever I suggested that she's down with. Once I isolate her, I would begin eliciting values (there's a KZfaq video with Neil Strauss doing this). This would bring the talk to a point where we're learning more about each other in just a short conversation than she knows about her coworkers she's worked with for years. I'd be present and aware of her emotions moment to moment, and eventually go back inside unless we're really tight and start making out or at least kiss. As she's talking about those values I would have elicited from her, I would be facing my side to her and as she says things that I like or think is beautiful, I would face more towards her. Alternatively, when she says things I think are unattractive, I would face more away from her. As I would continue talking to her, I could find things to suggest we do together in the future. Throw out plans casually. I'd do this whenever I could. That's seeding the next interaction because then we'll have a pretense for it. I would finish that time vibing with her making sure that she knew a bit about me as a person. My passions, values, interests, hobbies, whatever I end up talking with enthusiasm about when the conversation turns to the subject of me. If the conversation ever lulls, I would just describe what I see or feel in the moment. Depending on how well that goes (Best case: conversation gets intimate, we hit it off, do overt contact of the DiCarlo Escalation Ladder, make out, fuck her against a car or in her car or go up to her place or your place and chill for maybe 40 minutes with some music and then fuck. Worst case: maybe number close or instagram or snapchat. I would then send her something to remember me by via whatever means I got a close with. We'd go back in maybe and I'd continue being my fun social self, seeing any situations arising from my surroundings and inserting myself and helping build the fun party vibe. She might meet me later that night whenever she sees me. She might call me at the end of the night. I might do the same. Play it by ear but have the next interaction seeded and make it happen. 2/3

> Ignores what the group was talking about, says his schtick about the guy on the horse to group, then pulls blonde in because he specifically asked her if she saw the guy on the horse. It's good that he engaged blondie specifically. > Doesn't make good eye contact at all, is shaking is head as he's giving what should be juicy details on this horse guy. Says "honestly" with his hand out (I am not a threat signalling/hand to god truth). This guy is signalling that even he doesn't believe his own story. He's not being completely congruent in his body language. He's probably just saying it to try to gain some validation from blondie or someone else in the group. He still does give her just enough attention to be mainly talking to her, to the detriment of everyone else. Brunette seems like a chick who doesn't suffer fools or extreme betas and she goes cold hoping for the interaction with him to come to a speedy end. Her being cold also won't help blonde's impression of him depending on in how high regard she takes the brunette's opinion. The blonde maybe still sees something in him, so she asks further about it. He's successfully pumped her state at least a little. > Drops the detail about the bow and arrow. She bites onto that topic because now there's the potential of an existential threat. What if there's a guy legit on a horse who can shoot anyone with a bow and arrow? She needs to verify if there's an actual threat. > Proceeds to boringly rationalize the horse schtick, explaining that the guy might have lost a bet. I don't know about you but my bets haven't involved being on a horse while shirtless with a bow and arrow. He's just said the thing about the guy on the horse to pump her state. He's effectively backpeddling it with trying to rationalize it. PLAY THAT SHIT UP. He said it, so it must be interesting, (always have this mindset) but even he doesn't act like he thinks it's interesting. He should be like, "Yeah, I don't know what that guy's doing or where he came from. He looks like he came out of a ... movie/book/whatever." It's obvious that he doesn't see a real threat in this horse guy that he supposedly saw. Everyone sees this except maybe blondie. Brunette and Mr. Porkpie hat recognize that the guy is a stranger to blondie. He's approached the group with no social proof, and a story looking for validation or a reaction from someone. This is when Mr. Porkpie hat comes in asking a basic question to verify him with regard to the group. I'd just say I was here with a friend or just felt the spirit of Christmas or really anything. It's not the answer, it's how you say it. > ... Stand awkwardly, make fleeting, unconfident, weak eye contact with brunette who immediately averts her eyes down and then looks towards Mr. Porkpie hat for guidance. AMOG (Mr. Porkpie Hat) has the vaguely accusatory tone. Odisseu de Itaca, you say that befriending an aggressive person demonstrates low value. This is wrong. Befriending a person who was being aggressive towards you demonstrates that you have good social skills and don't end up in needless conflict. Maintain a collaborative frame! You can kill him with kindness. If he continues, he ends up looking like the weirdo for being so uninviting to you. Everything went pretty goddamn well despite all of the flaws in the guy's game. Nice inviting group, mostly. Salvageable. "Just think he should stack with another routine, maybe an IVD. And he should have negged the target ("hey, you can join in even if you're drunk"). Then do a takeaway, throw a prop, lock-in, FTC, waypoint, another neg, stack and isolate." What does this even mean? I just broke down one of the worst infields I've ever seen that I would still consider almost successful. 3/3
