Surprisingly little, if you would believe it.

@Techspert

I'm shocked you heard anything. The connections around here seem so loose, I wouldn't have expected it.

Myriad Reality

*Shifts my gaze to the floor*
Right... Well. I apologize that your first day was so difficult.

@Techspert

I'm not complaining about it anymore, man. Was only a big deal at the time. I'm only justifying what you might have heard.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Just two reference points tell me that much. I understand you had a... less than... appealing introduction when you arrived here.

@Techspert

*Rubs my chin*
Extreme circumstances when your welcome package includes harassment from a reality warper. But yeah, true. Guess there is a grapevine for info around here after all.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Agreed. Look at the bright side: You've grown a lot in your lowest valley.

@Techspert

You’re awfully confident in that despite how little you claim to know.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

You're in for a difficult time if they really can predict your every move. It's either find something unpredictable, or make their predictions irrelevant.

@Techspert

Tall orders either way.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Does it have to be a person? Can you outsource enough decision making that the chaos hurts them more than it hurts you?

@Techspert

Theoretically? Probably.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Shrugs*
You don't have to. But either the family is unbreakable from within, or it's not. That changes your approach.

@Techspert

It does. Could end up burning bridges by asking that sort of favor, though. That's all.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Regardless, ask someone or roll a dice, anything that takes decision making out of your hands could be a step to getting out of their influence.

@Techspert

*Sighs*
Maybe I will.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Because your place in the family is your anathema.

@Techspert

It’s something.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I'm running with the assumption that you find someone to help.

@Techspert

Feels like the panacea to all my problems, at this point.
