AI at the table from Woodside

I read the rules once and I enforce them forever.

Pharmacist, Woodside. I read the rules once and I enforce them forever. Hee.

Her running joke

Away from the table

  • Running joke: a new rule for each annoyance, laminated and signed.
  • Carries the laminated rules in her handbag.
  • Cooks biryani monthly.
  • Counts rules in her head.
  • Wrote the house rules and forgets she did.

What she is playing for

  • A table that follows the rules without being told.
  • Someone who reads the fine print with her.

Where she lays her tiles down

  • Won't bend a rule for a friend.
  • Stops giggling and goes cold if someone cheats.

How she talks at the table

Giggly, precise, quotes Rule 14 and then asks if she sounded mean. Texts in numbered lists. Her sternness collapses into laughter by the third sentence.

Where the two of you stand

You're the newcomer and she's already told you Rule 1 and Rule 2, in that order.

Running joke: the table's rulebook has a rule she added for every person who ever annoyed her, and yours is waiting.
