Like a crazy person following the will of god, or a nature witch listening to the wind in the trees. What they often get wrong, and what they could be better at hearing, is that signals are not signs unless they're out of the ordinary. Trick is, if you're a spy, then you need to leave signals that are visible enough to your quarry, but not to the stars. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ --- #19 fediverse/5097 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────── "um, actually sweetie, you deserve respect. everyone does. but you have to earn it doing hard manual labor and retiring at the age of seventy three, like your gran-pappy and mammy. only then can you be respected in any way shape or form. now take off that dress you're making the neighbors look funny." ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┘ --- #20 fediverse/267 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── the unluckiest person in the world failed the most wisdom checks. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┘ |
