holy fucking shit, these fragments. watch where you step. watch what you step in. what's that smell?

• people off grid: Parents: Ana María Cofiño Hunter, Magnus Hunter (in Chicago). New Zealand partners: Amanda Jane and George. homesick.
• Aaron: I respect you more now that I've seen you care for someone. begrudgingly. but, holy crap are you condescending.
• Alexandra: holy crap is she dark. I mean, dark. Every time I am around her I get so tongue tied that it is impossible to communicate.
• Arthur: I love his passion for discovery.
• Charles: I don't understand. I wasn't pretending to be in charge of you, and I wasn't treating you like a kid. This is--It's just--I--People compare notes right? All the time? Damn, people are hard. Birds? wildlife? lot easier.
• Emma: Dismissive. But I hope she still mistrusts systems of power. Maybe that will protect her.
• Jamila: I wonder if she's written me off?
• Jim, intern: Manages the life of a student despite working a dangerous second shift. Why this focus on vengeance?
• Kai: She's younger than I thought.
• Maria: Talented and resourceful. Might be okay even I did fall apart. Oh god the sarcasm. Sometimes I forget how something teenagers can be.
• Maya: I don't hate her.
• Note: My friend who is a crow. We can do this together.
• Wednesday: Wiley. I can see the machinations? Makes sense for someone who works to form coalitions. You walk a dangerous path, my friend.
• Zach: First he was older than I thought, so he was younger. Then he was the age he was. Now he is younger than I thought? So maybe he is the age I thought he was. But he's more shaken than I thought.

Occasional Contact

• Bit aka James: 'require'? really?
• Bryn: A tattoo artist who was easy to talk to despite an unearthly beauty.

• Graham: Maybe he's that adviser that has to herd quarreling students? I hope he is good at it. sorry to cause trouble.
• J0: Research partner. Really kick-ass drones.
• James: A pleasant person to meet on a hike. He knows good things about anger. Wouldn't his mind be totally blown if he knew just really how much we can talk to everything?
• Raphael: A new vet in town who did not get all phased by tending to an exotic. Thanks! Blue has a tail again.
