| If you're a total SS newbie, do this 2 - hit combo. (From SS 3.0). I used to do this one a lot. It's easy, I call it a "newbie combo". I call it a newbie combo because you don't really have to use any preplanned embedded commands or do much tonality shifting. Plus, you get her to talk so you don't have to really do as much work as reciting a pattern.
1. Ask, "If you could go anywhere in the world, without worrying about time or money, where would you like to go?"
2. Whatever answer she gives, say, "Take me with you, here we are in X, what time is it?" X=the place she wants to go to. Then, all you do is ask more questions to have her describe this place as she takes you and her on an imaginary vacation together.
Troubleshooting:
1. You can add in challenge phrases at step 2 to increase the chances that she will participate. Say something like, "From my experience, not many people have a good imagination, but you seem like you might...so, I'm just going to throw this at you...take me with you..blah blah blah" or you simply say, "Hmmm...let's see how good your imagination is, take me with you...blah blah blah"
2. You can use quotes to bring up step 1. You can say something like, "My friend asked me an interesting question, it got me really thinking, he said, 'If you could go anywhere.....blah blah blah"
3. During step 2, ask questions about what she sees, hears, and feels in this imaginary vacation spot. You can also set frames within it. When I used to run this "newbie combo", I would tell them, "You're about to take me out, where will you take me?" You've set the frame that she's trying to take YOU somewhere as opposed to you taking her somewhere lol.
