[Guess who dumped his belongings in his dorm and flew the coop as soon as he could? Someone needs another base of operations. Several, ideally. He makes this post from the computer lab in Theater Lenormand.]

Hey. Vital question, need to know. I can't be the only new student wondering.

Where's the best place to buy a drink and do homework for a while? If it's open all hours, that's a plus. On or off campus, doesn't make a difference.

My grades thank you in advance.

[Yeah, she probably doesn't.]

You know it doesn't look good for me if I come off as anything other than normal and pleasant, right?

I wasn't implying anything of the sort, was I? [ And then a few seconds later, when it occurs to her how semi-confrontational that sounds: ] But if that was the case, then I apologize.

Do you really think someone would base their opinion of you on what they see here on the network, though?

[bolderfell]

Of course they would. People believe anything they read on the internet.

Also, they've got nothing else on us yet. Classes haven't even started. I have a limited window of opportunity to present myself the way I want people to see me, before other things get in the way. You know what I do for a living. The only way someone like me gets through this is if I don't give them a reason to look twice.

If the others here get the idea we have history, they'll be curious about it. They'll ask questions. And if they find out how we actually met, that's a pain in the ass for me, you know?

I'm explaining this because I get the sense you don't actually want to make my life harder than it already is. If that's true, then it's better for us to act like we don't even know each other. Make sense?
