[Well, this is happening. He's pretty ticked off about it, but he's accepted the situation. Which means the next step is to find any allies he might have around here and gather information. Unfortunately...he's assuming this network is monitored by Astoria, so he can't exactly speak freely.]

if you're familiar with the term 'quirk' or ua high school, contact me.

[He's already found two of his students, but if he's missed others, or his coworkers, he needs to know.]

also, if you've been with this 'circle' for awhile, i'd appreciate a chance to talk in person. i have some questions.

Can't say I'm too familiar with the Circle... I've only been here a few months, but I don't mind sharing what I know. For a price, of course. [mysterious ohhh... no, his price is just a game or an answer to a riddle or something equally bizarre. not that... anyone... knows that...]

[eraserdad]

[squint.]

what's the price?

[he ain't givin u a blank check bucko. been a superhero 2 long for that.]

voice;

[Elizabeth is absolutely horrid with typing on this wee modern device so she constantly settles for voice instead.]

I was among the first group to arrive within the Circle. I should be happy to answer whatever questions you may have, though I cannot guarantee I have all the answers you may seek.

[eraserdad]

that's fine.
where can i meet you?

[metagame]

Hmm... How about your answer to this: what's something you can see, but can't? [he doesn't like reusing riddles, it's gauche! buuut it's also the best one he has to gauge a stranger on the magic internet.]

[eraserdad]

[ . . . . ]

you're kidding, right

[he knows you're not kidding. just. give him a minute with this.]

[metagame]

I don't kid around with riddles.

quirk

a science word
for measure of quantum
god particle

the end

[ He did it, he used his Jacksonville education for good and not evil! ]

[eraserdad]

that's absurd

[He'd say he doesn't have time for this but apparently!! He has nothing but time right now!!! So he's just going to be crabby about it before he eventually caves to trying to figure it out.]

[eraserdad]

not that kind of quirk

[not even touching "god particle" right now ... he's 2 tired for this.]

[metagame]

Heh, you'd be surprised how insightful they are. Even someone taking the time to answer can say a lot about how they are as a person... though, admittedly, it's far from perfect.

I don't expect an answer right away, and I'll even meet with you now if you'd like. Just don't think I'll forget that you haven't answered.

quirk, james t
the captain of the starship enterprise

[eraserdad]

...isn't that kirk.

[he hates that he knows this. it's probably mic's fault, honestly.]

[molotovs]

[ Hopefully any potential Capt. Kirk in Acata is cool with retroactive fourthwalling... ]

no, kirk is the one from the j.j. abrams movie
their evil twins

i had to look this up just to be sure

[eraserdad]

*they're

[He's a high-school teacher ok. He's contractually obligated. Even though he's just homeroom and Mic is the actual English teacher between them.]

pretty sure it's kirk in both, though

[what is he even doing. he realizes this is irrational and yet...]

have you found anyone else sensei?

[uncommonsense]

that's a pretty usual term. it's like a weird action or characteristic someone has

[ easy peasy. ] why don't you ask the entire group? i probably don't know as much as anyone else, but i can help out with the basic stuff

[eyeofassault]

find a dictionary

r u a student or watevr?

@j.constantine

[nifties]

The only one capable of giving us answers isn't talking, it would seem. How's that for quirky?

[eraserdad]

not yet
it seems to be just the three of us so far

[besieging]

shall we assume you have a more specific usage in mind than one's eccentricities
it is an odd question

[eraserdad]

it refers to something specific where i'm from
i'm looking for anyone who recognizes it
anyway, i'd rather not ask over this network

[talking about astoria where astoria can easily read it just seems dumb]

[eraserdad]

no
i don't need a definition, just people who recognize it

[eraserdad]

[sigh.]

hilarious.

i'll take any information i can get.

[eraserdad]

you're the first one to assume it
and you'd be correct.
