Adrian: OK.

Snowdrop: Pfft!
Watcher: Happy Birthday, Snowdrop!
Snowdrop: Thanks, Watcher! Time to go and play on the computer!
Watcher: What? I thought you were going to study for a degree, to help you get ahead.
Snowdrop: I applied but then I realized that I want to be an eSports Gamer so I can play games. Not study for 3 weeks before I can actually do that!
Watcher: Oh yes! That makes sense. Congrats on the new job.
Snowdrop: Level 3, straight in! Yes!
Watcher: Ah – very Self-Assured now.

Adrian: Pfft!
Watcher: Happy Birthday, Adrian!
Adrian: Thanks. I’ve decided I like being around lots of people.
Watcher: That’s good. Easy to build Charisma, then.
Adrian: What’s Charisma?

Watcher: Here comes Tulip. Why don’t you ask her?
Adrian: Watcher says I’m going to be good at Charisma.
Tulip: Oh yes, I think you will. Very good at getting people to like you and agree with you.

Adrian: So, tell me about High School.
Poppy: You’ll fit right in, Care Bear. I’m glad you’ll be joining us tomorrow.
Adrian: Are the other teens friendly?
Poppy: You stick with me and we’ll be fine together.
Tulip: Hm. I think….

Adrian: Watcher! I feel really strange!
Watcher: Maybe take a nap?
Adrian: I can’t stop thinking about her! She’s got beautiful eyes.
Watcher: Most people have got beautiful eyes.
Adrian: I could drown in them!
Watcher: Oh! OK, we’ll have to see where this goes!

Chick: Cheep

Poppy: Come here, Care Bear!
Adrian: What!

Adrian: Oh!
Poppy: Growl!

Watcher: Looking good, Snow!
Snowdrop: What do you think of my workwear?
Watcher: Given that you’re going to a workplace full of computer nerds who, let’s be honest, are mostly young men who don’t know how to socialize with women, I would question the off-the-shoulder jumper.

Watcher: Back from High School. Time for chores, homework, study for the exam…

NotesMy other half, in a previous job, was the engineering director of a software company. On a take-your-daughter-to-work day, our teen daughter went into the nerds room to make a coffee and none of them made eye-contact! She now runs her own department of nerds and seems to do it rather well.
Nearly forgot Adrian's wardrobe - very nice, thank you!
