WI 5-6: Goblin, indie rocker, stormtrooper, Wookie
Okay, ready to rock. Everyone buy the rations they want? Good. Marivhon gives you the 411 and you're off. Two days up the mountains, let's just say that there's no wandering encounters, it's just as Marivhon describes (see below). Signs, monks in the front working on the orchard, beautful fjord, no valkyrie. Anyway, you get to the monestary, and the monks are happy to see you. "Welcome brothers! You're on the Road to Progress, and now here you are! How might we be of service?"
Your move. (And are you guys seeing that? I didn't small that font on purpose. WTF?)
Hey Marivhon, can I have a minute? Thanks. Hey, okay, you've got a 5 WI, I know. But that doesn't mean you're a retard. That would be if your IQ was 5, then yes, officially, you would be retarded. As it turns out, your IQ is 14. That means you're smarter than basically 85-90% of the entire planet. You also happen to be a hell of a lot smarter than all the other PCs, who have IQs of 8 each. In other words, while Cinder, Dave, and Brogg are all reading Dragonlance, and it's hard, you're contemplating The Myth of Sisyphus, or some shit like Wittgenstein. In case you missed that, let me say it again:
YOU ARE NOT RETARDED WITH A WI OF 5 AND AN IQ OF 14. YOU ARE A FUCKING GENIUS.
An IQ of 14 means you know calculus and French and stuff like that. It doesn't mean you forgot to wear underwear today and OOOOOPS need some. You can remember every little detail about your trip to the monestary, in other words. Hell, you can even be scheming and act like a retard, maybe you're the Grand Master in disguise, IQ 14, who knows? So you know how you bought a cloak cause you thought it would be cold? That's more like the kind of thing you'd actually forget about, not because you're RETARDED but because you forgot to give a shit. It's easy to understand what IQ 5 is like. That's the guy who has his change bag pinned to his sweatshirt to help him get on the bus and when he gets on the bus OOOOPS now he stinks like shit. So what about WI 5? That's more like an indie rocker or a stormtrooper. Not really an emo fag, that's like WI 8, just enough to be self-reflective, but not enough to realize 1) everyone else hates life too and 2) no one gives a shit about the song you wrote about it. Or how about a pro wrestler? Hulk Hogan is probably pretty smart, but you know, he's a pro wrestler, so he's probably IQ 11 and WI 7. You can calibrate accordingly.
Not that you've been eating the glue etc, but I just wanted to be sure you knew what WI 5 means here. You're as forgetful as you want to be, of course, it's your character, but climbing the walls into the unicorns pit, stuff like that- it's not mandated by your condition. Your friends on the other hand, they're what would be called 'high performers'...
Your move. (And are you guys seeing that? I didn't small that font on purpose. WTF?)
