The creator of xkcd plans fight scenes. An old classmate imagined everyone (EVERYONE) naked. I sometimes give people backstories. What do you do? (Reblog this or comment.) — nickdouglas I don’t do anything like that, but I always make sure to scan the faces (quickly, but very deliberately)  of everyone in each new environment I enter.
