They jumped off a bridge. What was I to do?

I wasn't going to do this, but then greykev and scottjames did it, and if your high school friends do something you totally have to do it, right?

Whatever.

The first time I met you (which wasn't that long ago), I walked into the Tea Source and saw you sitting there with a book. You looked up, and the first thing I noticed were how enormous and dark your eyes are. The second thing I noticed is that you took a double-take and seemed extremely surprised by something about me.

I didn't say anything at the time; I must not have looked like what you expected, I assumed.

Later, I found out about your superhuman nose and wondered: did I fart right before I came into the shop?

Ah, no, um, I had thought of something storyish at just that moment. But you had to get tea, so I had time to write it down and still behave like a polite grown-up human being.
