I have a "psychic psycho-sense". wibbble got curious.
Do you do 'threat assessments' of people you meet? A poll.
When I encounter someone, we look at them quickly to see if they're likely to be a danger to us. (City. Female. You do the math.) It's an automatic thing. Are they "creepy"? Are they carrying? Could I take them? Could they outrun me? Could I shout for help? Would I do something to provoke them?
Sometimes, if there's someone we're going to be interacting with more in-depth, we do more. We judge their physical state, their mental state, and we probe their ports, so to speak. That's not automatic with everyone. If there's someone joining the crew, I do a threat assessment on them. If someone asks me. If I have doubts about someone that aren't cleared up by the automatic assessment. If they're interacting with our baby. If they're interacting with our beloved. If they're interacting with our Pretty. If they're interacting with our sisters (biological and not). It's not always imperative under those circumstances, but it's far more likely...
's an interesting thing.
