meet-and-greet | January 2016

[governors]

The Governors do this, sometimes; they hold a meet-and-greet for the new arrivals to help them get acclimated, and also to distract them from destroying their rooms. A message goes out to all the new arrivals informing them of a party with free food. Everyone likes free food, right?

In one of the recreation areas - sadly, not one of the ones accessible by slide - there are some chips, dip, some sodas and Solo cups, several large pizzas, and a surprising amount of Oreos.

Party.

"What's Shakespeare?" Probably not the best question to ask, but without the context the two didn't quite make sense. He mentioned theater, so... a screenwriter, perhaps? Still, a library could be good just to learn what kind of stories people from other worlds might make. That would be the chance of a lifetime.

That gets a full-on laugh out of Metcalfe - it's amazing how easy it is to forget that people are literally from different universes or realities or whatever.

"He's quite possibly the greatest playwright in the history of the English language, where I come from," he explains, shaking his head. "Strange guy, lots of mystery around him. Damn good writer, though. His characters are complex, like real people, only everything they say is written down so you can actually study them."
