I'm doing just fine.

This might be considered prying but what kind of people have you met so far in the mansion, Sinclair?

[worldentire]

Good t'hear, son.

Kind of people? Pretty much anyone, I s'pose. Don't really meet anyone, t'be completely honest, but I talk t'whoever has an open channel.

[behind_destiny]

If no one's seen you then isn't that really the only way you 'meet' people. The question still applies.

[worldentire]

Alright then. In that case, usually the people who are outgoin' enough to turn somethin' on and call out. I've met anywhere from women who can fly to people who aren't really people.

What're you lookin' for, exactly?

[behind_destiny]

I don't care what they are. It's the character of the person.

[worldentire]

Mostly people who don't listen much, who're stubborn'n think they can handle or take on the world all by themselves. There're the nice boys who get left behind and the interestin' zoned-out people who aren't - 'least, they don't seem it - human.

'Course, I'm also talkin' to a man who single-handedly took down a crime lord who'd created him. Not sure what sort've characters you're lookin' for.

[behind_destiny]

I've come to the same conclusion about some of the ones I've met. No one special really, I've had a reality check of a sort.

[worldentire]

Oh? What sort?

[behind_destiny]

Some stories are not worth telling. You were right.

[worldentire]

Years'a experience, I'm afraid.

[pauses] What happened?

[behind_destiny]

I've been chatting it up with a nazi. Its not something I would do intentionally but it happened.

[worldentire]

You don't think his story isn't worth tellin'?

[behind_destiny]

I think it's fairly normal to have a problem with Genocide.

....By the way just how old do you think I am?

[worldentire]

But you don't have a problem with little girls bein' turned into monsters? That, son, is a mess of odd priorities, let me tell you.

Younger than I am.

[behind_destiny]

I've already mentioned that you're right.

That's an amusing way to put it.

[worldentire]

So what d'you do now?

That's the only way TO put it, in my honest opinion. Much better than statin' numbers, that's for sure. I like t'keep my acquaintances on their toes - it's hard t'get anythin' done if everyone's assumin' you've gone senile.
