So it seems like things are getting a little late and I haven't accomplished my personal task yet. Unfortunately it's the sort I'll need a volunteer to help me out with, and I'm not entirely sure who still has time.

I'm supposed to let someone else make my decisions for me for twenty-four (24) hours.

Honestly I don't expect this to be a roaring success but might as well give it a try. If anyone thinks they can manage to spend a day with me in the face of almost certain failure, I would be moderately grateful.

That sounds like a solid theory, but at the same time, how many choices do we make during the day? What wo wear, what to eat, where to go.

It's hard to account for all of them.

[softshoes]

That does make it much more complicated...

What about simply having someone ask you to copy all, or most of, their decisions for the day? You'd only have to follow behind them for the 24 hours, and all of your decisions would still be based on theirs.

[deaddrop]

Like playing follow the leader? That could be an interesting way to approach it. Probably one of the easier ways.

[softshoes]

Exactly that. If you haven't succeeded with anyone else yet, I'll meet with you: we could always give it a try.

[deaddrop]

Honestly, I'm a little shocked how many people are willing to help out.

But that's not a reason not to try.

[And yet--]

Do you trust everyone who's offered? It isn't as if it's completely binding, but it seems a rather easy task to abuse.

[It's a good question. Natasha has considered it, and to be honest there's a part of her that feels as though if anyone could manage to abuse it in a way that actually negatively impacts her, then it would be her own fault for not clocking it ahead of time.

But that's not a very helpful answer.]

It depends what you mean by trust. I don't know some of them well, and I don't tend to consider myself trusting. But I think most of them are probably smart enough not to push things too far.

[Though they have some evidence that it's not everyone, don't they?]

I think it will be very interesting to see how people choose to use this kind of an opportunity.

[softshoes]

I should hope that none do.

[They pull new orbers from all places and all situations, after all. Getting complacent has already hurt people he cares for aboard.]

For your sake as well as theirs. I don't expect you to take being mistreated lying down. I do hope everyone who offers to help passes muster, so to speak.

[deaddrop]

Let's say so far I have a good feeling about it.

[Which might not exactly be agreement, it's not disagreement either.

She also doesn't expect she'd take that lying down.]
