Roberto barely reacted to the new arrival, glancing up at her and then resuming his vigilant stare at the center of the floor. [i]Who are you? ALex will introduce us probably ...[/i] The rest of Alex's little spiel went as expected, though Bob hadn't anticipated him fleeing so rapidly to his office afterwards. [i]What was he so afraid of anyway?[/i] Not recognizing the new arrival, Bob considered just heading outside to let the girls get acquainted and settled in. [i]Alex never did introduce her... Was he running from her? Nah, she's too scattered to be able to cause any much more than a dull ache, usually between the temples. Still, I'd better be on my way, while I still can.[/i] 

Bob stood, and shuffled out of the room and then on out the front door, where he paused briefly on the porch steps before starting off on a walk around the grounds of the house, slowly lapping the property as he mulled it all over in his head. [i]Alex was weird, and not in a good way, He didn't seem to hate me like the others but he never stopped glancing my way either. He's either paranoid, or an idiot, being that obvious in his observation. I'm not sure where I want to put my money yet on that one... On the plus side, there didn't seem to be any other guys here yet, and that couldn't be to bad right? Who am I kidding? The guys at least will play it straight, Girls don't seem to know the meaning of the word... So this is hell, and I'm here until "they" say otherwise, great. Well, can't say as I didn't anticipate this, but it'd sure be nice to be wrong, maybe just the once. 

The first two gals seemed okay, a little loud, and very awkward, but that was highly preferred over actively hostile, and that greatly above the stubborn dismissal of his very existence. I don't know anything about the new girl though... probably a plant, arrived late and flustered to earn our sympathy and worm her way under our guards so she could parrot our unguarded thoughts and dreams to those with the power and desire to crush them. I'd just have to stick to my usual routine, ignore people until they get over trying to lord everything over me and then have fun retaliating when they no longer thought that was possible.[/i]
