ran into elwin c. (BONDED) at a Thing yesterday - elwin is one of those folks who keeps popping up at random moments in my life, and who i will no doubt bump into one day while bound north fleeing justice, or some such thing. he was, as always, solidly normal (digging through some old notes, i discovered that i once remarked, after finding out that he had gone through ocs, that i could "never imagine him leading [soldiers] into war, not because i believe him incapable of it, but because i could never see him as anything other than a person"). he is one of the few gep people to emerge from the programme personality unscathed, i would say -- or perhaps as some think there is an element of self-selection and the smattering of normal people -- elwin and yuexiang and andy, off the top of my head -- are the anomalies.
