Never, for specific mathematical definitions of "never" and "you are in no danger" because you're not the gamma's preferred target? Uh, and he can promise this over the internet because he already know's you're um. female/not homeless/a civilian/over the age of 12/???
Edited to add: After actually looking at the LJ entry, he never said you are in no danger. He says it's "just the usual consulting" which you are obviously intended to find reassuring. That's plausible deniability right there. *g*

See, "consulting" is pretty much the job of the WTF. I am not reassured at all.

One would hope that if there was a danger, if Chaz suspected that MG fit a gamma's target profile, he'd at least give some sort of subtle warning. Like "beware skinny people with crazed looks in their eyes. except for me. I'm just here for the food."

I wish I could be there!
Well, I wish I could be at the NK regardless.
But I'm in Michigan. Dang it, somebody bring me a TARDIS!
Me, too! Um, where in Michigan? |

I have this image of people around a table in the NK.
"When is Chaz going to get here?"
"He's--"
"Oh. Right. Forgot."
"Again."
"Uh... Look! Cheese curds!"

"I wanted to tell you both. I've met someone."
"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."

He's obviously not using the mirror all the time, though, if Daphne's supposed to admit that his " on-the-job parkour at the Ballard Locks was splendid. Ultimately futile, but splendid." ( http://trollcatz.livejournal.com/48038.html?thread=853670#t853670) Meanwhile, we get a new and presumably unflattering nickname for Victor Celentano. I wonder if the PTBs' providing that online as a teaser to their fans qualifies as a SOAP-based Web service ... |

In the real world, I may not even make it in tonight. I've been up 21 hours now, and not even half a sleeping pill helped (a whole one would be a bad plan at this point).
But Tuckerized ME will be there, on tenterhooks!

Me, too! Um, where in Michigan? Lansing. Where are you? In the stage version of "Waiting for Villette", Chaz (or the actor playing Chaz) will be on stage the whole time making faces at the people who can't see him. Or possibly holding up signs for the amusement of the audience. |

I have just woken up from what is best called a multi-hour nap to a message from Chaz saying he and Daphne will be in in the next hour or two, and I have confirmed that I will be there, even though I feel like shit and probably should not go to work, and part of me is all, "Must get up, must go to work to meet Chaz and Daphs!" Sooooo weird. |

AUGH!
I would wind up talking to myself even more than I already do.

It makes sense to me. I used to act.
Must remember not to show off the pretty pretty Shuns I have in my office. I finally found ones that have handles I can use! And I have a cleaver!
