guestservices | AUDIENCE FOR: Yuri Leclerc

we have to know about the places you came from? kind of part of the job description?
i read enough to do my job and to gossip, 's all i really give a shiteg
shit about.

and wow!
you're trying to pry a lot of info out of me, aren't you, purple man?
bold. didn't even bring a tip!

kinda puts a guy on edge wondering how you all managed to snoop around picking up all that information in the first place.

i don't hand out presents on the first meeting. maybe next time.
i'm not entirely sure how asking if there was juuust a sprinkle of emotional manipulation in our room design is a bad thing. it can be a yes or no question.

iunno, mockingbird, that's your thing, isn't it? picking up info?

look.
i just work here. i don't make up the rules, or the knowledge, or the things i have to do.
we had a lot of prep to do to get ready for you guys to be here, and to get you guys settled.

and i don't hand out presents on the first meeting either!
so no yes or no answer for you.
at least wine and dine me first! damn!

exactly.

[ he is the snooper not the snooped…!! ]

annnd why work here? given you all know what’s happening. even if there’s no reason to care about, i imagine working for someone who likes to take hostages makes things dicey for you from a legal perspective. or just a personal vendetta one.

well if i could get into the kitchen for more than three minutes at a time maybe i’d go and make you something fancy. alas.

I signed a non disclosure agreement!
From a legal perspective that means mind your business. :)

and that's too bad about the kitchen but maybe you shouldn't be sticking your nose in the workers business there either.
i'm just sayin, the more demands you make and the more probing you do the less likely you are to get anything you want.
you know how this works! it's not your first strange kidnapping.
rome wasn't built in a day and you've barely been here a week.

hmm. we'll see.

i'm hardly standing on the counters and demanding no pickles with my food. but as a general heads up, i don't think slapping people on the wrists and tutting is going to do much to dissuade people from snooping anyway. based off general experience. from my previous strange kidnappings, even.

hey i told you to go steal people's left shoes
you think i give a shit about dissuading people from snooping
you can snoop around this place all you want
and you can keep asking questions if you want

I'm just not going to give you answers you'll be satisfied with.
and then you're gonna keep asking, and i'm gonna keep saying no, and we're gonna go round and round in this bird dance of ours and you're gonna hate it, and i'm gonna hate it
so it feels kinda counterproductive right now!

You're smarter than that, Yuri.

i'm not going to beat the point into the ground. i'm aware how these things usually draw themselves out -- to a degree.

but people are mad, so you're probably going to run into that loop a few times over. with quite a few people.

...

pfft does it say that on my file as well?

yeah! gettin tired of explaining myself over and fuckin over but thats alright
actually, you're the first one busting my metaphorical balls and even then you've been pretty nice about it
guess you're not quite a - whatever they called it, a karen? that
hahahahhahahaha

for the other thing
the guestbook entry for you's got "knowledge" on there twice, and apparently you've got a 15 for intelligence and an 18 for wisdom, whatever that means
so that's just public knowledge!

a what now

[ karen?? ]

the... numbers? i figured they were just general messing around, but they're direct statistics for the individuals?

[ there's a pause. almost like he's going to look at the book and then-- ]

... hm. that's interesting.

those are very different types of knowledge though, i would say.

[ because i, becks, have one braincell and my gosh it is trying. ]

iunno someone said it earlier

they might be real, they might not be! no idea what the fuck they actually mean
mine are just boxes

but hey!
you're right, probably
what's the difference to you? intelligence and wisdom.

... just the word karen.

yes, they are. a mystery until proven otherwise, then.

i feel like there's a saying like this. something about having the wisdom to know a tomato's a fruit, but not putting it in your fruit salad. intelligence and wisdom.

yeah
ask lup, she might know
since she's "genre savvy" or whatever

yeah, like lots of other things. mysteries.
tomatoes, huh
i guess that makes sense

do you agree?

... seiros, she would know wouldn't she.
i guess i'll be getting a karen education.

in a sense. i agree it's intelligence is knowing things, and wisdom is knowing how to apply those things in the most beneficial ways

have fun with that hahaha

sounds like a smart thing to say to me
so there you go! do you think your numbers are right, then?

[ and then flayn DIED before i could ask. ]

they don't look entirely wrong, but you're always bound to over or under assess a skill if you're grading yourself.

[goodnight flayn]

ooh, yeah
big egos or no self confidence, huh
you fall into either of those, mockingbird?

[ holds up flayn while dunking britt ]

if i say i like to think i'm pretty reasonable about my skills, then it just comes off as one of the big egos.
so make of that what you will.

[:pika: who could have seen this coming]

yeah, sort of a loaded question huh
no winning that one

[ shock of the century. ]

mmmmmhm. so, i'll keep my answer a secret.
all of yours are blanked though -- do they look that way to you too? or do you know what's written and it's just we can't see it?

secret!
hehe

annnd let me guess, if i ask what you'd give yourself the answer would be....

"might be more fun if you tried to guess"
hahahaha

would you put a tomato in a fruit salad?

don't really like tomatoes, so, definitely not.
