[It's not that Cobb has been here for a while, it's that he learns very, very quickly. It comes with the territory, of being very much accustomed to laying low. He's always been fairly cautious and wary unless personal matters are involved, after all. It's something that comes with the territory when you've been on the field long enough. He deems it appropriate enough to talk to the network as a whole now. Plus, he's asked enough to catch the basics--he's near a console by the window in a cafe in the earth district, nursing the best tea he's had in years and typing anonymously. ]

Interesting for a place not quite near life, death, or dreaming. How many people here are well versed in Oneirology?

Is it easier for me to switch to something else?

Honestly? Yeah. Dyslexics of the world untie, and all.

[ He's still being careful. It's a bad habit but he figures you can never be too careful and that's exactly why, while he switches to audio, he still remains anonymous. ]

Better?

[He leans back away from the screen, clearly relieved] A lot, thanks. Why don't you want anyone seeing your face?

[ He's absurdly composed, though his lips do twitch up into a bit of a smile even though Percy can't quite see it. ]

I like to be cautious.

Is that like, cautious because you're paranoid, or cautious because things start exploding when people see your face?

[squint]

The paranoid route. I'm not that important, can't see the latter happening.

Re: audio;

[kelpful]

Does asking why you're paranoid force you to give away too much about your identity? And hey, you never know. Some people have some pretty weird powers, here.

[squint]

I definitely don't have any powers, no. [ side stepping that paranoia question y u p ]
