[AND SUDDENLY YOU ARE HANDCUFFED TO THE NEAREST PERSON. HELPFULLY CAMP HAS PROVIDED YOU WITH A SET OF INSTRUCTIONS. you are to get to know the person next to you or else. OR ELSE WHAT? you may ask. OR ELSE. :)]

H-hey! Didn't we just do something like this?

That would just make things less awkward which, I'm sure, would defeat the entire point of this exercise.

[prosekhodaphne]

Probably.

[gayforjustice]

How are you, Dr. Reid?

[prosekhodaphne]

Oh, uh, I'm fine. Thank you. You?

[gayforjustice]

Fine, I suppose, apart from the obvious. Have you done anything interesting lately or has this been the highlight of your week?

[prosekhodaphne]

I'm not sure "highlight" is necessarily the proper word.

...Uh, not that I don't enjoy talking to you, but being handcuffed together isn't what I would call an optimal condition, situationally speaking.

[gayforjustice]

I assure you, I've never desired being handcuffed to you.

[prosekhodaphne]

...Would it be unforgivably rude if I said "likewise"?

[gayforjustice]

Not at all. In fact, I find that reassuring.

[prosekhodaphne]

...Oh. That's - uh, okay. [but he seems a little relieved, himself]

[gayforjustice]

You needn't worry so much. What do you think we have to learn about each other to get the handcuffs to fall off?

[prosekhodaphne]

[speaking half to himself, looking somewhat balefully at the handcuffs] That's a very good question.

[gayforjustice]

I suspect we both have too many secrets we'd like to keep for the answer to be easy.

[prosekhodaphne]

That seems probable.
