I've heard there's a bunch of people I ought to know floating around out there this weekend. Shame none of you have run into me yet, though for the moment I'll chalk that up to my being busy being incredibly brilliant and not staying still and having a new daughter to teach the wonders of the world to and all sorts of other reasons. The point is... You know. Hello!

[Okay, that gets a laugh from him. So maybe he can give the guy a chance.

He did give Arthur plenty, so.]

I'm sorry, I just haven't had particularly good experience with people who have this sort of.. ego.

[am_i_being_rude]

That's understandable. Not all of us can be so gracious. [Grin, grin. He's being playful.]

So how are you finding the City today? Welcoming? Weird? Wibbly?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

And yet they seem to always become close friends.

[Funny how that goes.]

Wibbly? Can a city be wibbly?

[am_i_being_rude]

The people who dislike people with egos or the people with egos? Or a mix of the two?

Anything can be wibbly! That's the beauty of the adjective. It's a wibbly sort of adjective.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

The ones with egos manage to befriend me.

I guess I could... call it wibbly. Certainly weird. But fascinating.

[am_i_being_rude]

Well maybe they sense a soul who needs a bit of a perk. I like to give compliments. There's usually no reason not to, when they're there to be given. Of course you could be attracting the ego-mongers who just want satellites to revolve around them. Quite annoying, you ask me. Not looking to have... Disciples, or whathaveyou. Just friends.

Fascinating, yes! Brilliant! What about it have you found fascinating?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

...satellites?

Well, uh... Getting taken to it like this in the first place? It's definitely not something you'd expect.

[am_i_being_rude]

Like the moon. Or... Fans. Ever had fans? Gravitate towards anything with gravity and people with egos tend to be on the white dwarf level with that sort of thing.

True. I suppose that would be rather the most jarring.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I... What?

[Fans? Gravity? What is even all that.]

[am_i_being_rude]

[Oh. He'll have to either not explain it - which he's almost not capable of doing - or explain it non-scientifically - which he's almost more not capable of doing. Hmm.]

Like... baby things! Baby things will follow a bigger thing of themselves. Ducklings follow ducks, cubs follow bears, small children follow larger children. What were we talking about?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Uhm... Satellites, I think? Or people with egos wanting everyone to follow around them... So would that mean I'm the baby thing, or they're my baby things?

[...yeah, he's amused.]
