Tom sat on the front steps, contemplating the lawn. Someone needed to mow it, but he wasn't sure if they had a mower.

He heard the door open behind him and glanced over his shoulder. A girl he's seen around but never spoken to. "Do you think Ganesh could build a lawn-mowing robot?" he asked with a grin.

Who: Tom Sturbridge and Ganesh Surendar
When: Sunday, June 27
Where: the server room, then the common room at the Anhalt
What: Tom has some ideas about how to work with the virtual club. Ganesh is curious.
Status: Closed; complete

Tom knocked on the server room door, then peered inside when the door cracked open upon the light impact. "Hello?" He stepped in further and saw Ganesh in one corner, rearranging books on a bookshelf. He smiled and waved. "Hey! Do you have a minute? I wanted to talk to you about your virtual club idea thing."

( You've got to become someone else to deal with these people. )

Who: Tom Sturbridge and Maxxie Delacourt
When: Sunday, June 20, 2096
Where: Anhalt Building
What: Just talking, as far as I know...
Status: Closed, Complete

Tom had had to get up early to meet his family for Father's Day breakfast. He didn't know why they couldn't do brunch like normal people, but apparently overachieving was so ingrained in his parents that they even had to be up before everyone else on a holiday Sunday. Although the line when they left had been long enough Tom had had to acknowledge there was a method behind their madness.

It had been good to see his family, even though he hadn't been able to say much about what he was up to. There was a part of him that, with his mother's research, hesitated to mention what he'd been hired to do. So it was a relief to be able to leave before they really started to dig at him with questions.

He knocked on Maxxie's door. "Maxxie, I brought you food!" he called cheerfully through the door.

Who: Maxxie and Tom
When: Fall, 2094 [backstory]
Where: psych class
What: Thanks to a class project, Maxxie meets Tom (who is stubborn enough to befriend the girl who doesn't want to be friends).

( Maxxie was so thrilled by the assignment that she sat completely still for a solid minute )
