[...] What is an unexpected skill or special interest in your repertoire.

And why did someone add a ferret stampede to Temporal Puzzle 5146.b.

Is anyone a proficient driver of [...] station wagons. I have to go into Stamford this weekend and the agency burdened me with a freighter.

Can't spend every minute of your day working. It's not good for you.

[ SÉBASTIEN ]
That's not embarrassing.

[craquelure]

I also spend plenty of time bothering colleagues on the network.

[benjamin]
Oh, I assure you it is.

[undercard]

Can't stop you from that. It's your greatest skill.

[ SÉBASTIEN ]
Why? Be specific.

[craquelure]

Thank you for noticing.

[benjamin]
They're for a category of social games I have interest in neither playing nor engaging with, so instead I have boxes full of small models. Hundreds of them.

I don't see the problem, but I get that there might be something I don't understand about these social games. It's good that you have your dragons though.

Baer Bash.

[craquelure]

Referring to them as "[my] dragons" is a fantastic way to expedite your not being acquainted with my special skills any time soon.

When I'm teaching you how to cook? Harsh.

Baer Bash.

[craquelure]

You told me no distractions while class was in session.

Baer Bash.

[undercard]

You're a walking distraction.

Baer Bash.

[craquelure]

That's hardly my problem to solve.

Baer Bash.

[undercard]

You're right, though. We'll both be on our best behavior for the lessons.

Baer Bash.

[craquelure]

And only the lessons.

Baer Bash.

[undercard]

Well, I don't know about that.

Baer Bash.

[craquelure]

Excuse me.

I like you as you are, but I can’t say it’s not fun when you’re well-behaved.

Baer Bash.

[craquelure]

You'll just have to wait and see how accommodating I feel after wrestling leeks into submission for two hours.

Baer Bash.

[undercard]

Not too different from what I’ll be doing afterward.

Baer Bash.

[craquelure]

Almost as though my choice of words was deliberate.

Baer Bash.

[undercard]

You are aggravating, you know.

Baer Bash.

[craquelure]

You just called it my "greatest skill" and I do tend to trust your judgment.

Baer Bash.

[undercard]

It’s the greatest skill I’m willing to talk about in public. Not the real greatest.

Baer Bash.

[craquelure]

Given what you are willing to talk about in public, that pool's just shrunk a considerable amount.

Baer Bash.

[undercard]

There’s two. The first one you may argue about but it’s the way you can make anything interesting. You have a real fire in you when you get going. It’s real nice to hear about little gold boxes or other things you know so much about. Swiss watches. You make anything feel like it’s something worth caring about, and I think that’s a real skill. Not everyone can pull that off. Hell, half your peers can’t.

Second skill is taking cock like a champ.

Baer Bash.

[craquelure]

[...] This may surprise you (or it may not), but how you claim say I am about objets de vertu is how you are with people. You make them feel like they're worth caring about, as if you'll hold onto and appreciate every piece of themselves that they share because it's a piece of someone who matters to you. Some would say this is an even rarer skill.


And while I do believe I was blessed with a natural talent, we can't discount the efforts of those willing to find the proper incentives.
