I hazard the guess that that word is "second-stage betas."
Did Bear just call Chaz and Hafs Gammas? |

Theoretically, decent law-abiding Gammas are not SU business.
This assumes that decent, law-abiding Gammas exist.... ...wait, we have a word for those. And that word is ... ? |

Oh, I think you guys are doing an adequate job without any further help from me.
(I'm practicing for telling my godson to do his own homework, you see...)

My high school biology teacher would do this in his advanced classes. He would make sure you knew exactly what to do and how to do it, but then, when you got an answer and called him over to ask if it was right, his answer was ALWAYS "I don't know, what do you think?" Even when we explained why it was right, he usually wouldn't tell us if it was... but it was, because he'd done his job.
My fandom is like the good parts of high school.

This whole wedding thing makes me distinctly uneasy.
Because the worst thing that the PtB could do to Daphne just got so obvious.
Is it only me?

No, it's not only you. OTOH, our PTB are much sneakier than your average PTB. I'm sure they'll think of something much worse.

No. They can't do it. Not until she's been onscreen. :eeps: |

"Danny, that's good," his mother said, sounding strange and strained and cautious. "What's--"
"His name's Grayson. He works for the State Department."
