No I mean everybody else is the only person from their own world. It's never more than three even though there are a few of us who come from bigger groups.

So okay. What do you think you have that someone would want for themselves?

[this question could be framed more nicely but whatever.]

[headmt]

And I mean that I've never seen most of you in my life, but it doesn't you aren't from the same world. There's a lot of people out there, and I haven't met most of them.

[He raises his eyebrows at that second question, but he looks off as he thinks about it.]

No idea! Good looks? Charming company. Fantastic horns.

[goalsides]

I've had to explain what a phone is too many times to think people aren't from different worlds, but okay, fair point.

[...tilting his head a little as if he's trying to decide if he should agree or argue.]

Guess you could ask the principal if we ever get to meet the guy. If he even exists.

[headmt]

[Well he's not saying everyone is from the same world. Just that it could be more than three. Who's to say.]

Apparently he's a bear. Actually a bear?

[goalsides]

Yeah that's what I've heard. Have you ever actually met a bear before now? Not my first choice for a principal.

[and also, why.]

[headmt]

[There's a moment where he opens his mouth to say something, stops, then squints at this Child and tries to figure out how old he is before he decides against saying something.]

Can't say I've had the pleasure, myself.

[goalsides]

[jesus christ. can't believe i walked into that one.]

You're also not missing out on much. [although, as a segue...] Have you talked to Chad at all since the forum thing? Or any of the dorm heads?

[headmt]

We're spoken a little-- Or. I've spoken to the phone-thing. And then it read outloud to me.

Hard to get a bead on that one. The others I think are a little easier.

[goalsides]

[there's a sound of agreement like "the joys of text to speech."]

I've had more luck with Viola than anything. I think she really wants to share everything she knows. But I did get Chad to agree to hang out with me next week, so maybe it'll be easier in person.

[headmt]

She's verbose.

[That seems to be his opinion on Viola so far.]

Big a digger, aren't you?

[goalsides]

You learn how to tune out the stuff that's not important and read between the lines.

[a tilt of the head.]

What do you mean? [he says that, but in a way that says he already knows what molly's getting at.]

[headmt]

Sure, sure. I've read a fortune or two before.

['tis the crux of a cold reading.]

I don't mean it in a bad way.

[goalsides]

[given he's been called out a few different times for disregarding people's privacy he does relax a little when Molly says that. ]

I don't like being someplace without information. If they're our resources right now, I want to know as much as I can to figure out what to do next. And it's better to know as much about them before things get too far. [that way you can decide if you can trust them officially or not. ]

[headmt]

Mm, fair enough.

[Molly isn't much of an information digger, that tends to be the other two. So he's a little out of his element here, but ... ]

Suppose my only advice would be that sometimes you aren't going to get to find everything out before things start shaking. Have to just be able to trust your gut on certain things.

[goalsides]

[sometimes your resident nerd who does all of the research isn't here, so as the leader you default to digging yourself. it's fine.]

I think I have a lot of people who would tell me to use my gut less. [there's a slight grin.] Even if I wonder how much we'll find out even when things start happening, it's not bad advice, so...thanks.
