Y'know you have to take a long, hard look at your life and afterlife when you come to the realization that the most prominent activity you've been using to break the monotony is hours upon hours of paperwork. Not that it's something that could be too easily changed back home -- obligations being the pain in the ass that they are, and a certain need

Order is always worth whatever it takes to enforce.

[pleasesmirk]

It isn't. You'd be the first to agree, though.

[i_excel]

My name's George.

[pleasesmirk]

Right. You're new here, right? Or... new-ish. I was a little confused.

[i_excel]

Newly returned. I was a Warden here about a year ago, but decided to take some time off. Sort of. I went home a while.

[pleasesmirk]

Makes sense, I suppose. What did you do normally, then?

[i_excel]

Observe from the outside.

[pleasesmirk]

In what capacity?

[i_excel]

Transitory.

[pleasesmirk]

That's very vague. Between what and what?

[i_excel]

I know. I'm doing it on purpose.

Between the inside, one layer of the outside, and the one that comes after that.

[pleasesmirk]

That just makes no sense at all.

[i_excel]

It's not supposed to.

[pleasesmirk]

And I was straight forward enough with you, wasn't I?

[i_excel]

With personal stuff? That's fine. But until I'm in the swing of things and know how much needs to stay classified, that's about all I can say on the matter.

[pleasesmirk]

It's hardly like whatever explanation you give is going to mean a lot to me - especially if you're a Roundworlder. I'm fairly sure my warden's got a massive file on things generally considered 'classified' by my government.
