Is this how you seek to accomplish things? Dive right in, with no thought towards developing a standard operating procedure or prototyping before you commit to a design? How do you know if this experiment of yours will succeed? Simply because all the other ones have? Hoho, I think you might be forgetting a few things, namely— oh. I shouldn’t say, should I?

No, I think I won’t. If you’re going to continue on this endeavor, you’ll have to do much more than simply think every now and then.

I'll be sure to note "the willies" as a potential side effect in the future.

[milletian]

Side effect? [Wait.] Oh, you're a doctor! Like Dilys! That's cool. You don't see doctors a lot around this place. You must be a good one if your mun's picked you up.

[feelingplummy]

I have no idea who this Dilys is, but I'm assuming this is some sort of compliment?

Hohoho, my reputation... so often proceeds me.

[milletian]

Mm-hmm! It's a compliment.

In a good way, right? I knew it. I can tell these sorts of things. It's a gift.

[feelingplummy]

I like to think my work speaks for itself. [so yes.]

But more importantly, what kind of gift?

[milletian]

It probably does! [Your horrible, horrible mentally-scarring work.]

Oh, like a talent. I look at somebody and I get a gut feeling about them. Like, "oh, they're good at archery" or "they really like strawberries" or "they're good at healing magic"! Stuff like that.

[don't knock it til you try it!]

Ah. Mere intuition, and nothing more? How disappointing.

[milletian]

[Noooo thank you, doc.]

Hey, don't knock it. Sometimes intuition can warn you about things before they happen. It can mean the difference between life and death!

[feelingplummy]

How so? If somebirdy spills a cup of tea, does that tell you if they are clumsy or if they are messy? Both? Neither? Something else entirely?

[milletian]

It tells me not to give them any more tea. That's what it says.

[feelingplummy]

Practical, if nothing else. Though I'm not sure how applicable a tea embargo would be in a crisis.
