That's very true! I'm... not really someone who even *experiences* 
schadenfreude, so there's that, and the "funny" suffering of someone who 
actively deserves better makes me cringe.  (This is also a big reason why I 
write WikiBoy the way I do. o3o;)

That's also very true. I definitely want to write an SRP story sometime, but 
man... I'd need a really Good Take.

TBH he doesn't feel like the kind of person who'd be brave enough to make an 
offer to either. Maybe just interdimensional traders.
