Abraham: I don't know what you regret so much but maybe that's what keeps you from thinking you can build a place like that

Bit: flannel. this is good. omg omg I interrupted him here have my food is this how bars work and also did you know about choice blindness and why didn't I ever consider it with it crows wow you are a genius.

Bryn: beautiful but easier to talk to. warm. relaxing.

Anonymous: potential research partner

Hypolita: In a scientific lineage that includes Sophie Germain. Which is really cool. but. Way too fucking snarky. Get around your walls much?

Arthur: I looked up his CV. He's brilliant, but he might be sabotaging his work by how he treats his interns. He needs a mentor like Bob Paine. "Paine set a high intellectual bar, and was gruff and challenging. “He's very brusque and abrupt, and he kind of scowls a lot,” says Lubchenco. But he also encouraged irreverence and mischief — he once signed the name of his friend, Peter Kareiva, on Christmas cards full of lascivious limericks and posted them to the world's top ecologists. Paine treated his students as peers, supporting their endeavours without directing them."

Ahana: She's more hardass than I am about cutting people slack.

Ezekiel: Why would I want to learn things the easy way? You did not.

Graham: Maybe he's that adviser that has to herd quarreling students? I hope he is good at it. sorry to cause trouble.

Kai: graftings. I think it's how we can be in the world when we can't fit. it's not a perfect metaphor, but she introduced me to them. I want to trace her fingers and wrists and the flow of water inside. Shall we dance? I forgot to tell her about orange scuffings!!!! Note to self, thank her for orange seeds.

Jamila: Excuse me, you are in my personal space. This person is clearly overworked. I am firm in my resolve to see her to a dance.

Jim, homid intern: very earnest. Manages the life of a student despite working a truly dangerous second shift; Jim, corax form: you goof. <laughs>

Maria: Talented and resourceful. Might be okay even I did fall apart.

Maya: I don't think I freaked out her out. She helped me when I was freaking out. <hug>

None: My mentor. I needed to call them by a name. I once wanted to study humans with the Choice Blindness Group, until I met None there. My mentor let me call them by None's name. (but this makes it exceedingly hard to say, "Maybe you know my mentor? Whose name I don't know because I didn't want to intrude?")

Note: My friend who is a crow. What do you mean blood gull?

Victoria: !!!?!?!JHK#LKJ!#!! (at least she laughed). Okay maybe I can talk to her like a normal person.

Wednesday: pockets full of seeds and copper

Zach: know the beat[1] repeat the rhythm. break a trail but find the paths. roll with it. who needs stairs.
