Yeah, well. Some people like to keep that kind of thing close to the chest.
[ He's never quite sure how much of the network people connect to the real world, so he errs to assuming his identities are publicly linked. It's one less thing in the air to keep track of, but it doesn't mean it's always true, or that everyone keeps as much of an eye on the online half of their little world as he does. All of which is to say: it's a little funny to have the subject come up again with someone who doesn't seem to realize who he's talking to.

It was like this before, too. I'm assuming you're a newer arrival - I try to keep an eye on who's here. I was in the first batch. We got 'getting to know you' bingo cards and scavenger hunt secrets falling out of the sky. Then there were the doubles we had to get someone else to kill for us, which is definitely one way of promoting some information sharing.
But what I still don't get is the point. [ He shakes his head. ] No offence to present company intended. I'm just saying, if this is a competition, what's the focus on cross-universal mingling? And why do it like this?
[ He's leaned forward himself without paying attention to it, and once he realizes it he draws back a little, smile turning self-deprecating as he blows a loose strand of his bangs out of his eyes. ]
Not questions I'm expecting we're getting a straight answer to any time soon. That's probably more of a mid-season twist from the producers. [ A soft laugh, kept mostly in the back of his throat. ] Sorry. Reference. Do they have reality TV where you're from?
