"Kind of missing home right now," Radio admits. She sits alone at a two-person table outside a coffee shop in the commercial district and looks expectantly at the people (and creatures) who pass her by. Owing to the season she's bundled up well in a thick peacoat with a turtleneck beneath, sipping warm coffee and waiting for the inevitable company that comes with speaking to no one in particular around here.

"But I'm thinking positively! I'm scheming on all the good things I have to look forward to when I get back. It's nice to step away from my own culture and give it some thought. But I think I've thought enough about that lately. What I want to know is... What do you like about your culture? What is it about your home, your people, your line of work that's noble and good and respectable and all those sorts of lofty things?"

A casual shrug comes with a small sip of her drink and a hint of a smile. "Or maybe you hate it all, and you just can't wait to rail on it with me. I'm not against hearing a little gossip. Complaining is the spice of life, after all."

Dr. Hill is back again. So soon? Something must be going on. He's without his desk, instead pacing the forum around thoughtfully.

"Empathy! A vital trait in both my line of work and as a person in general. The ability to understand and share the feelings of another. To commiserate in sorrow, in joy, in pain.

"But how often do you use it? How often do you really attempt to understand one another? Well! I would like to propose an exercise. I would like to pair you off and encourage you to really, truly walk a mile in one another's shoes. I assure you, the process will be painless and I am certain you will learn a great deal about one another."

He looks like he's about to turn and leave, but then pauses, recalling something with a raised finger and a smile. "Oh, and of course, this process will run its course on its own. It will end when you have gotten the most out of this exercise. Fear not, it's not forever."

((Batten down the hatches, It's a NEXUS LOL! Namely, bodyswapping! With OOC clearance and planning with one another, two characters will end up stuck in the body of one another for an indeterminate amount of time. It wears off when you want it to; last an hour, last a week, who cares! It's done when you say it's done.

This post is here for scheming with your fellow players! If you have a character you want to throw into the mix but have no one to pair off with, there's the perfect place to plan it!

If you have any concerns or questions, don't hesitate to ask me in PMs!))
