yan scaramouche knows you so well that if a fabricated letter in your name was ever delivered to him, even if they replicate your handwriting, he'll know it's fake within the first sentence alone.
(and he claims his interest in you is 'a moderate' amount).
so. i am of the opinion that gortash is terrifyingly good at reading people. the stat that is most commonly associated with this ability is wis, but. while his wis certainly isn’t bad, he mostly uses his int.
the way he so easily slips into one mask after the other to manipulate. understand. i think that he has no actual empathy at all but operates almost like a highly intelligent ai would. taking the brain apart into pieces he digests, studies, learns to comprehend. remembering things. “if i do this, they become sad.” “if i do this, they fear me.” (insert creepy gort smile here) “if i press this nerve, the brain i’m currently digging in will spill information.” it’s all like. how do i say this. highly accurate calculations instead of actual empathy.
Okay as I'm looking around the set for Josh's room I'm noticing
- a Cage the Elephants poster (nice)
- a lot of little black squares with an "r" on it in the Biotic Wars font
- a Halo poster
- he was streaming on Twitch and APPERANTLY STILL IS WHEN HE STARTS JERKING OFF WHAT (I think that was just the set having a still image in the computer but wow what a thing to just. Have)
- Battlestar Galactica poster
- litterally three of the SAME. EXACT. FLANNEL thrown around his room
- Vinyls under his side table, with a vinyl player on top
- just like. Trash all over his side table (realistic, coming from someone who has a gamer brother)
- Red Bull cans
- Several posters I am having a harder time identifying
- just a poster of the solar system
- big ass Master Chief figure (I'm pretty sure it's Master Chief)
- A globe
- Something that LOOKS like a Wii but is distinctly NOT a Wii (might be another console I'm just not recognizing)
- some frankly terrible wire management
- What appears to be a Back to The Future poster (I should try and count all the BTTF references)
- Also his Twitch user seems to be FutturH[unclear]
