Characters: Spencer Reid and open.
Date: From April 5th-14th.
Location: Various locations in Keeliai and Atam.
Situation: Reid does SCIENCE!! And other things. There will be some specific threadstarters and some general ones.
Warnings/Ratings: Excessive tldr?
Other: prose or actionspam are both fine by me. Also if you could fill out my permissions post that would be awesome. Reid is a behavioural analyst with the FBI and he tends to use body language and linguistic cues to 'profile' other characters. Obviously this is an ability that tends towards 'hugely infomoddy' so I like to keep things above the board whenever possible.

Mm, yup! And you're Spencer Reid.

[ He remembers you played along with his guessing game about where people lived. ]

I've been all right, how about you? You look like you're ready to write a whole book there.

[ The answer about himself is quick, practiced, and Jack slides the conversation back towards Reid immediately after. ]

[If Reid notices, he doesn't comment on it. Some people are naturally more closed off than others, and he doesn't want to pry.]

I'm actually not really interested in writing novels.

[The point. His head.]

[wintershepherd]

How come? If you wrote one, you can share a lot of what you know about a subject.

[He considers a moment.]

The thing about my knowledge is that most of it's acquired from another source. Books or papers that have already been written or published. I don't really have time to put my original thoughts down on paper, and it feels a little redundant to retread ground greater minds have already traveled. Maybe when I'm older.

[Criminal profiling is kind of his entire existence. He doesn't have much of a social life to speak of.]

[wintershepherd]

[ Jack considered that for a moment, then nodded. ]

Yeah, that makes sense. So what's all the paperwork for then?

[ he eyes the coffee cups ]

Since you're a little old to be cramming for exams, no offense.
