tuesday, week zero

[THE WATERING HOLE is....not all too impressive to Barnham's mind. It's definitely... water.

And you can presumably fish there.

But otherwise he's not all too interested in it. Still, he's drawn back to it if only by the thought process that maybe his disinterest caused him to miss something in his search. It could be the case.

(Wishful thinking, really.)

Of course, when he sees a familiar face at the edge of the watering hole, he tilts his head to one side, vaguely. Hm...]

Young Percy.

Hey. [There's an almost playful look.] Do I really look like the kind of guy that'd do something like that? I'll be fine.

[Probably.]

[...]

Young Percy, you strike me very much as the meddlesome sort.

It does not work to pretend otherwise.

...if it helps any it's usually not my fault. [It doesn't help.] And anyway...we're going to need someone who's willing to meddle and help. Always do.

The guilty party hardly matters to observers if you are the one who ends up in the midst of the trouble, is that not correct?

[HE KNOWS...]

Simply be certain to keep your meddling to as safe a task as possible, if you would.

That's true enough. [Unfortunately. After enough run-ins with authority, he knows that.]

I'm going to do whatever it takes to make sure other people are safe. That has to count for something, doesn't it?

What will count in the end, I'm afraid, Young Percy, are results.

[The desire to protect...

it doesn't mean much in a place like this.]

...then I'll produce good results. Wouldn't be the first time they gave me something impossible to figure out.

[...] Do you really think it won't be easy?
