It's interesting, because I people obviously feel so comfortable with me as a listener that literally everyone - even random strangers in the supermarket who I never see again - simply up and tell me deeply personal things about themselves. I've had that all my life so far; an hour with me and I know more about them than anyone else. It's like I unconsciously create a vacuum around me that people can't help filling. It's proved useful in my own personal circumstances as well, such as when someone very close to me did a few things I won't mention, but which I needed to know and took about a year to fully find out the truth. If I ever write a tell-all book, I could bring down so many people. I could get a job with MI6.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
