including me, and as an idiot by the vast majority. The city is a screwed up place to be, the normal rules of human behavior simply don't apply there.

I would have easily predicted what course he would have taken, and I would have been right. I see his slime every time I go to the grocery store, it's not difficult to figure out what he would do in any given situation.
