<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/wiki/File:WtHQM-William1.jpg)</div><strong>Character</strong>: William Wake<br/><strong>Who:</strong>Penn<br/><strong>Where:</strong>His Room<br/><strong>When:</strong>After the world's most awkward one way hug<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>White T-Shirt and Jeans<br/><hr/><br/>He sat there for a while before finally saying, "I need to get some stuff done.  You should tell other people.  Seriously.  They are not going to judge you.  Let me put it this way...<br/><br/>*I* am a monster.  Not a bug, but a monster.  If anyone calls you one, I will educate them about what a monster is and does in ways that will make them regret it in ways they will never forget.  You will be OK."<br/><br/>After a response....<br/><br/>He is sending a note to his world religions teacher, "Transfering to AdvSpir."  Sure, he could use normal channels but he is looking forward to reaction....<br/><br/>He shouldn't be...<br/><br/>But William didn't have Economics and Pre Calculus and World Religion.  He had "Run Tactical Simulations in my mind from historical battles" and "Observe micro expressions on everyone in the class" and "Can I cause non verbal memetics by harmless experimentation on the herd instincts of my fellows"<br/><br/>Mandatory religion?! Ugh!!!!!!!!<br/><br/>UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!<br/><br/>The only enjoyable part of the class was driving the 'serious' religious students to fits by quoting, passage and verse memorized parts of the Pirate's bible to refute their own sacred texts in class discussions.  To their credit, as long as William kept up the act he took it seriously (and he never dropped the act), then the other students had to 'accept' his 'sincere' belief in 'His Noodly appendage'...saved only by the fact that he rarely made comments.<br/><br/>It still freaked him out.<br/><br/>He had no idea what the capabilities of the others were.  Without his wards, he had no idea if he could shield his memories and keep reality intact, but he HAD to know what the others could do if he could, however indirectly ask their help in saving the @#$@#$ world.<br/><br/>And as he thought about it, he'd been too hard on Martin.  Martin at least had 'hoped' he'd save the 'construct'...was this a construct? If so how could they not be constructs?<br/><br/>What the hell was the Hive?
