[QUOTE="Felix, post: 1451197, member: 3929"] Hey ya Bill. You might want to put a [my players bugger off] tag on the title if you don't want me checking in on this thing. But since we had this conversation I'll chime in and then leave the thread alone. So. This solar (who has not fallen from grace as gfunk thinks, but rather has just had his obligations to H removed) has been protecting human kind for aeons. He has fought demons, devils, traitors and even humans to protect human souls. He has done all of this unquestioningly. As a highly intelligent creature, I think he would be more curious than anything else. He would want to know the nuances of human life he didn't see while executing his duty to H. But considering his power, he might behave in some situations like a curious child does with a fragile toy: the toy won't last long, even if the child's intentions were not to break it. So having had a few months to kill, and coming at the human metropolis with the mindset of an curious and objective obersver, I think the Solar would have by now figured out what he shouldn't do in terms of interaction with people (you [i]will[/i] get me another cup of coffee for [u]free[/u], human!) and what the basic social norms are. Were he to observe college soceity, he will have watched and played beerpong, streaked the lawn, stayed up all night writing a dissertation on the mutative properties of parareticular unctities, eaten Moons Over My Hammy at Dennys, egged a professor's house, etc. He will participate in all those activities that humans do because they want to, and from that he will try to enhance his understanding of the human condition, and at that point decide on what he wants to do. Of course, his time horizon being much longer than anyone else's, he might possibly still be perfecting his flip-cup technique when the party shows up. [/QUOTE]
