"Yeah, there seems to be plenty of room in the plan to try to unbalance it the other way."

"She didn't even try to proffer an explanation for juking the one way and not the other when she was being all unexpectedly charismatic."

"Maybe there wasn't one you'd buy? Could try pressing her on it."

"There remains the question of how she could guess what I'd buy, but yeah, I could do that. It's kind of nerve-wracking addressing her though..."

Permalink

"I can imagine. She's very thoroughly jailed and it's not real."

Permalink

"I just kept thinking that if anybody was going to notice they were in a precognition..."

Permalink

"Does that stop you from ending the precognition?"

Permalink

"No, it would just really freak me out."

Permalink

"Understandably. Does it ever happen?"

Permalink

"Not that I've ever heard of, but nobody knows why not."

Permalink

"Now I want to do it on purpose, make sure it's possible."

Permalink

"I'm not sure if that counts."

"Even if she guessed she might not say anything, she seemed more focused on giving you information than getting it."

Permalink

"Although if there's anybody I am not going to feel badly about dictionary attacking..."

Permalink

Permalink

"I probably should but I think I'd like to have more of a script in mind first..."

Permalink

"Yeah. I'm sure we can come up with something."

Permalink

"Let me know if you have a cunning plan."
