Hi.

First things first this isnt going to be a lecture. Tensions are high enough and Ive barely been here long enough to have the whole history down yet. (Working on it) Besides, you've already herd plenty of it. So this isnt about that.

[ Not overtly, anyway. He's trying to do the "subtlety" thing. He's not taking notes or anything. ]

I'm Doug by the way. Mostly I'm trying to figure everything out still, you know. That sort of thing. I'm a curious and openminded sort of person wich is why I have some questions:

1. Whats your favorite thing about being here?
2. And least favorite thing?
3. If you had to make up 1 rule what would it be?
4. Why's the coffee so bad & Are there vending machines (where)?

Thank you thats all.

As opposed to blindly complaining until something changes. Or attacking the wrong side.

[Not that Gold has a side, but if he's between a rock and a hard place, he'd rather have the side NOT trying to destroy his world. Any of them. Except maybe Neverland. If the UE want to blow Neverland up, he's cool. Preferably once Henry's free.] The choice seems obvious, doesn't it?

[BUT NO ONE GETS IT.]

[mallarkey]

Yeah its obvious. Unless your blind. We're stuck on the same side for now we should start acting like it- its not about pride or right/wrong. Nice to hear someone talking sense about it.

It's the sad truth that pragmatism is a rare trait. [God save him from heroes and apathy.]

[mallarkey]

Sure is...if you grow up needing to think ahead you get in the habit. Most buffers never needed to know how.

[undealt]

How fortunate for them. [those privileged fucks.] Sadly, black and white only works when one can decide where the line is and that's a discussion I'd rather not involve myself in. And the sooner the rest of them realize this, the sooner we can move forward.

[ He agrees so much. ]

Thats right. Black/white is bullshit and it doesnt take a genius or a lawyer to see it- though I am a lawyer. You cant have people and no system and expect anyones gonna behave.

[undealt]

Well, you're in good company. For a moment, I almost thought the entire population was nothing but lawyers.

[There's four, including himself, even if his... degree is debatable and also curse-based, but whatever. That is still way more lawyers than you'd expect for this sort of thing.]

[mallarkey]

If you can call lawyers good company- its ok I'm not offended. Even I dont usualy like other lawyers. [ Hopefully the sarcasm isn't totally lost in text-translation. ] Except we're great at performing miracles in a crisis.

[undealt]

[Gold speaks fluent sarcasm.]

It's precisely why I gave it up. [Or so he can pretend. CURSE BACKSTORIES ARE WEIRD.] But the skills have proven useful a time or two.

[mallarkey]

They always are except when you arent making money. Up here I dont think it matters what you do as long as you're smart while you do it.
