Bad date?

[ihatepsychology]

I was shot at during pursuit with my partner. [ A little pause. ] I have been shot at on the way to a date before.

[losethreepounds]

Seriously?

[ihatepsychology]

Yes, the mob tried to have me killed because I was examining the remains of a body that had been found and they were fully aware that I would be able to solve the case because I'm a genius.

[losethreepounds]

That sounds really made-up, even for this place.

[ihatepsychology]

I'm a forensic anthropologist who works with the FBI, why would I need to make something like that up?

[losethreepounds]

There aren't a lot of FBI agents around here. Most people are aliens or from, like, Japan.

[ihatepsychology]

I'm not an agent, I'm a doctor. My partner is in the FBI. I look at the skeletal remains of murder victims in order to determine identity, cause, time, and circumstances of death, the murder weapon, and eventually the killer. Though I do participate in interrogations and field work more than any other scientist I know. [ Because she refuses to work with the FBI unless she can. ] I do agree though, there does seem to be an abnormally high number of Japanese individuals at the community.

[losethreepounds]

There aren't a lot of other scientists, either. I think I've seen some doctors though.

[ihatepsychology]

Yes, I've only met medical doctors here as well. Who are you?

[losethreepounds]

Regina George.

[ihatepsychology]

Doctor Temperance Brennan.

[losethreepounds]

Okay.

So are you... new here?

[ihatepsychology]

I don't know what time frame you would consider new, but I first gained access in April.

[losethreepounds]

I've been here for like a year and a half.

[ihatepsychology]

In which case, I am newer than you are.
