It probably looked like Matt simply had his eyes closed. At least, it probably looked like that on first glance, but the two fingertips trailing into the coffee in the cup by his hand likely gave the impression he was actually asleep, but it wasn't like the coffee was hot, or something. He still hadn't entirely decided to do anything about that, because he was trying to figure out the answer to the first labour.

Because really, how did you make an everlasting brownie?

He'd considered and discarded LSD (flashbacks counted as everlasting, right?), genetic resequencing so that Ganesh simply thought he had always just eaten a brownie (too expensive), a really large brownie (ridiculous), and a knitted brownie. The last was the most promising, given that Ganesh had never said it had to be edible.

Not that Matt could knit, but that was a problem for later.

He heard Maxxie's distinctive footsteps - tap, silence, tap tap tap, silence - where the silences were her blinking, and dropped his chair back down to all four feet, managing to get coffee in his eye as he brushed his hair back.

It was sort of a greeting when he looked at her, his eyes unfocused, and said something that most closely approximated to "Blargh."

"The individual approach works for me," Maxxie agreed easily enough on that. There really weren't very many of them in here. "Why don't I make a list or something of things we need to tell them, get that back to you, and we can split up who we're talking to based on who we get on well with? We need to include... hm... mission statement about saving the rights of wild cards. That we'll have several projects going for different groups of people, and leaders for the projects. That everyone's expected to be able to at minimum protect their own space in case we're invaded. And," she grinned suddenly, "for those in the field, learning the meaning of the secret language words will be imperative so we're all on the same page."

Her gaze was innocent and teasing. "Did I forget anything?"

"That everyone's responsible for figuring out their own shit." He grinned at the secret language reference, but let it pass other than that. "I mean, you know, something that keeps people interested, or just acknowledging that it might be a real good idea to, you know, rep wild cards in a positive light, and that doesn't fucking mean hiding out here waiting for orders you know? I like the radio station thing, stuff like that that holds someone's interest."

"I like the radio station thing too, and I hope it gets off the ground. I think Del and Tom could do a good job with it." And she liked seeing Tom with something that seemed to be interesting him. "I think there ought to be many other good ideas, and other ways of reaching out to improve the wild card reputation. Everyone here has some skill, somehow, or else they wouldn't be here."

	"We don't know why we were chosen, so we gotta assume it's something fucking nice about us," he said, an elliptical agreement if ever there was. "But yeah. What are people interested in, what can their contribution be. That's something you didn't hit, not in that language, you know. Now that we're all fucking corporate and shit."

	"Okay, so list in my court. You make a list of who we've got and what we know so we can get all the blanks filled in when we talk to them? Like, what can they do, and whether they're on or off the grid," Maxxie suggested. (Reply to this) (Parent)
