#### History You've always been busy. As far back as can be remembered, you have not been one to sit still. Your parents love to tell the story of the time you used a whole pack of crayons to draw up and present a business plan for your first cookie stand. What other four year old understood the complex economical and ethical considerations of break-and-bake versus the flour, sugar, chocolate chip variety, let alone supply and demand by city block for delivery of sweet, leavened snacks? You had the best education money could buy, and you studied hard, and you succeeded hard too. You're one of the most successful business people in the city. Sure, you know of [[S.P. Rossman (CEO)]]'s proposal to their romantic partner and you've heard about [[J.R. Sachs (CEO)]]'s sense of rivalry, but while the two of them were focused outward, you were rocketing upward. That's one of the reasons you're so frustrated. Your train back to the city was delayed in a small, provincial town, and the friendly woman at the ticket counter could only get you a hotel room for the night, rather than a working train engine. So, lacking the ability to repair trains or clear train tracks of fallen snow, you reluctantly checked into the local motel. The friendly man at the desk asked if you were going to the mayor's party with your colleagues and you couldn't help but be intrigued. For the first time, you looked around you to see the glow of polished wood and the carefully placed plaid scarves. Having time before the big party, you found a moment to taste what may be the most delicious pie you've ever eaten, and you bumped into another out of towner along the way; in a town where everyone has been frighteningly warm and outgoing, [[G. Snuckt (Lost... Elf)]] somehow seems even busier than you. They did little more than apologize for bumping into you and run off around a corner - you felt something stir inside you... curiosity? And for more than just the stranger you didn't quite meet. Everything around you has taken on a shine that you aren't sure you've had the time to see before now. #### Questions Are you too busy to ask questions about someone strange? Is there more to life than wistful train travel and successful business deals? What have you been sacrificing in order to have it all? #### Opportunities Figure out what the deal is with [[G. Snuckt (Lost... Elf)]] Talk to [[P.S. Latte (Piemaker)]] and [[M. Drossel (Toymaker)]] and learn about their passions Immerse yourself in the hobbies and passions of people that you may never have met (like [[N. Williams (Cousin)]], the town Hotties, or the Yuppies)
