Andy
… stood at the edge of the harbor, remembering what Robin had said: "They like your act, but it makes them uncomfortable. They don't understand. And I tell them it's not up to them to understand. It's art. It's there to make you feel, not hold your hand and explain every little thing, right?" But Andy wasn't sure anymore.
John
… wallowed in the mean kind of genius that resented average people.

Mike
… lay on the floor at about 7:30, plenty of time before the guests arrived. It was easy for a few minutes, then he began to feel the pain of his hip, his elbow, his knee against the hard wood floor. He to focus on a point beyond the pain, and then, finally, at 7:53, the first guests came. They said "what's with Mike?" and laughed uncomfortably at his prone body. Success! He tried not to blink or smile. His guests cracked open some beers and settled in.

Scott
… started putting in even longer hours, pushing his comm stats into the 90th percentile, behind only the marines. He vaguely remembered promising himself he wouldn't do this, but no longer cared. Fun was hard to come by, and this, for now, was fun.

Paul
… had it figured out. Enough art to matter, enough friendliness to let people in.

Josh
… started the album with a sample: "I would like to be able to continue to do what is inside me, which comes from all the music that I hear, I'd like for that to come out. It's not me, the music's coming through me."
