The Aftermath

Picture
As they cleaned up cups and crumbs after the art show, our group of entrepreneur/artist/roommates were all a bit tired and despondent.  No one seemed to be in much of a mood for talking.  All five, well four of them any way, seemed lost in thought.

Prudence is miffed, Syd is elated, Art is daydreaming, Nanci is worried they’re all on different pages, Nunzio’s absent.

Next morning, late the next morning, Nanci suggests that they all need to come together and process all that went on during the show.  They all (well four of them anyway) sit down together.
Picture
Nanci sets the agenda: “Let’s each say what we think went well and what went badly during yesterday’s show.  Okay?”

There are nods in agreement all around.  But who should talk first?  Nanci and Art start doing rock, paper, scissors with each other, and are having a great time until they realize that they are just playing between the two of them, which doesn’t really answer the question of who should go first.  So they try to modify the game into a four-way version, but become confused about how that will work logistically, especially since Prudence refuses to participate.

“I’ll go first!” snaps Prudence.  No one dares try to stop her.
