Non Sequitor

Votania's developing the interesting habit of referring to people who aren't actually physically present at the moment by pronoun. For example, out of the absolute blue, "He says ....", or "When he's done with the project, he'll..." or things of that general nature.

I'm used to this in myself. Heck, everyone around's used to this in me. I refer to Darkside in that fashion all the time, without bothering for introduction. Everyone who knows me gets to know Darkside too. It's as if he's always with me, in some fashion, and therefore does not have to be brought up by name, just by general presence.

It's interesting, to hear someone else use tricks of the language that I started with years ago.
