It is not a game that I play often but when I was in graduate school, my cohort played with a professor at a bar after class. I do not think everyone noticed but by watching it became apparent to me that our professor and one of my peers were having an affair. That was exciting. What about you?

You will. Perhaps we can convince Niko to come too. He is likely not very pleased with me at the moment, so maybe he will be more amenable to meeting casually this way.

Ah. Academic tale as old as time, yikes. I'm assuming that imploded? I haven't had any exciting Never Have I Evers, either though no. It has made me realize the enormity of the things I've done though, for better or worse.

Why wouldn't he be pleased at you?

Oh, I do not know. Those sorts of things always seem to, so it probably did. I was not the most social with my co-hort and I never followed up.

Enormity is a heavy word though. What sort of enormities are you revealing during a party game?

I thought it was rude of him to stand up and offer to do my job in front of the whole Summit. So I was rude back.

It's strange to think of mine. I'm not sure most survived, and to be honest a number of them were egotistical assholes with an undeserved and inflated self importance, but they'd all dedicated so much of their life to a single passion. I'd hate to have a virus snuff it out.

I'm pretty adventurous by all meanings of the word. Experimental. I like to try new things, so there's little I don't say yes to after consideration. One thing I've never done which seems impossible given where we live, is I've never been on a boat. Planes, trains, automobiles, no boats.

Ah. I don't think that's what he was doing though Maggie. That program of theirs is complimenting the healing work already happening in the communities, you saw Niko's expertise in action recently right? This should be a positive collaboration.

Please, Nat, let’s not you and I fight about this. Let me take you out on our boat and we can chat. Ensure that if the virus snuffs one of us out, the whole library does not burn.

Alright, I'll accept a little boat outing. I'm not sure the next time I'll be able to head that way, but hopefully we dispatch the remainder of this horde sooner than later.
