zarf says, "or Uru avatars."
|
Jacqueline laughs.
|
McMartin says (to zarf), "That's not far from the truth"
|
zarf says, "well, I assume you've got a generator function"
|
schep says (to Floyd), "take beige skirt"
|
Floyd | You don't have time.
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | The conversation gets a little harder to follow here, as you are stuck
|
Floyd | behind a man in a yellow coat with no polite way out. "So um, Hal. Did
|
Floyd | Isaac corner you before you left tonight?"
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | "Heh, yeah. 'You stick together all the time, you're always watching
|
Floyd | each other, snipe casually whenever we're around... did you really
|
Floyd | think we wouldn't notice you're a couple?'"
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | You slip into the gutter briefly to get past a woman in a beige skirt.
|
Floyd | "What did you tell him?"
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | "I kind of dodged the question." A man with a grey hat with a cell
|
Floyd | phone almost -- but not completely -- drowns them out. "I made a point
|
Floyd | to not attack the underlying premise, though."
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | They stop for a moment, as a man in blue pants asks them something
|
Floyd | about a bus stop. Hal says, "One block that way, sir." He thanks him
|
Floyd | and heads in that direction. Bian nods. "Great minds think alike. We
|
Floyd | should keep up the embarrassed silence bit. It serves our purposes, and
|
Floyd | it implies that they were right. We win both ways." You duck past a man
|
Floyd | with a grey backpack. "We got really lucky that they hit on a theory
|
Floyd | that's consistent but false."
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | Hal slows down a little. "Hm. One thing still bothers me, though..."

|
Jacqueline says,"HA"
|
Jacqueline says,"No time for love, Dr. Jones!"
|
schep says, "man, that bus-seeking guy is hopelessly lost"
|
inky says, "I am still confused"
|
Jearl says, asks, "did the organizations get merged, or is Hal a double-agent now?"
|
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "z"
|
Floyd | Time passes.
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | "What's on your mind, Hal?"
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | You breeze past a woman in a red shirt. "Tell me you didn't do anything
|
Floyd | to Lawrence when denying it."
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | You duck past a woman in a beige skirt. "OK. 'I didn't do anything to
|
Floyd | Lawrence.' Happy?"
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | "No!" That's the angriest you've heard him so far. "I read the papers
|
Floyd | you guys had written. I know what you can do."
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | You gingerly step over a panhandling woman in a black skirt. "You know
|
Floyd | full well I don't use it on neutral parties, and we both already agreed
|
Floyd | that he is one. LET THE MATTER DROP."
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | You suddenly find yourself contemplating whether you'd rather have
|
Floyd | pizza or ramen for dinner tonight, and shake your head to restore your
|
Floyd | focus. You notice a man in a beige coat and a woman in blue shorts,
|
Floyd | nearby, also apparently dazed by the force of Bian's command.
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | Hal, however, is unfazed. "Wow. Intonation just so, posture, word
|
Floyd | choice... even your eyebrows are calculated to put your demands right
|
Floyd | into the hindbrain. Those psych studies you did are really impressive,
|
Floyd | though I suppose some of that was your benefactors. Too bad it doesn't
|
Floyd | work if you can see the wires."

gp32 has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
|
Jearl says, asks, "and NO ONE is getting smoochies out of this?"
|
Fang says, "that poor man. All that's recognisable about him is his pants"
|
schep asks, "why do I get the feeling all these colorful people don't really exist?"
|
Fang says (to Floyd), "wake"
|
Floyd | You already have.
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | Hal and Bian walk in silence for a while. Bian then suddenly says,
|
Floyd | "You're a P.S.I. sensitive, aren't you." Intent on your pursuit, you
|
Floyd | almost trip over a woman with a beige backpack. Mumbling an apology,
|
Floyd | you continue on. "... and you just blanched. Don't even try to deny
|
Floyd | it."
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | A woman in a grey dress tries to hand you a pamphlet of some sort. You
|
Floyd | reject her with a gesture, then continue. "I'll have you know that my
|
Floyd | bosses checked, and they said I had no ESP capabilities of any kind."
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | They shift to single file for a bit, long enough to let a man in yellow
|
Floyd | pants pass. "Not what I meant. If they checked you with Zener cards,
|
Floyd | they'd show you doing well when you can see the card backs, but only
|
Floyd | chance when you couldn't."
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | Hal remains silent. You weave past a woman in a beige skirt, trying to
|
Floyd | keep them in sight.
|
Floyd |
|
Floyd | Bian breaks the silence. You are caught in a momentary crush, and a man
|
Floyd | in black shorts elbows his way past you. "Pre-Sapient Interpretation.
|
Floyd | You're pulling more subtle info out of your vision and sound than
|
Floyd | usual. That's how you found the truck. That's how you can beat the
|
Floyd | Voice. And it's almost certainly why they sent you to keep an eye on
|
Floyd | me."
