 So there's been a lot of talk about censuses and lists and mutinies and... Throwing people out of airlocks and I guess there's, like, a robot Civil Rights movement or something, and it's a lot to take in. But here's an idea. Why doesn't someone with way too much time on their hands make a newsletter. Great idea, right? That way, the people who are actually avoiding most of the drama in this place- because the last time they got involved, they ended up in a room with two corpses- could keep up with all the gossip. Just a thought.

Hi. You don't know me, but I'm a, uh...  friend of Ariadne's. Maybe she's mentioned me. Topher? Topher Brink? Neuroscience guy? Anything?

Tch. [Whether she's amused or annoyed is... kind of hazy. Take your pick.] Proud of yourself for that one?

[andblockbuster]

A little bit. Angry women always have some weakness to compensate for their... Surly demeanor. A love of cuddly puppies, for example. A fondness for chocolate mousse. A feeling of euphoria every time they see a baby.

[traitortwin]

Not all of them. And I wouldn't call a sweet tooth a weakness. Just a preference.

... Ugh. Babies.

[andblockbuster]

Right, because you've got this serious hardened warrior vibe going on. Wouldn't wanna throw that off.

[traitortwin]

Yeah, Right. That. So what, are you some sort of profiler?

[andblockbuster]

Neurologist. With a, uh, big ol' love of modern sociology and psychology.

[traitortwin]

Heavy hobbies. But if you’re that big into psychology and sociology, then you know there are some exceptions. Right?

[Whatever helps you sleep at night, South.]

They're more like variations on the same idea. Brains work like fingerprints- everyone's unique, but it's all the same swirly little lines when you get down to it.
