   Oh, so it's not where I meant.   
      
   The thought was that the question about injuries turns up during the   
   interview, before signing any contract.   
      
   That may not bug most people, though. You'd have to make a poll to find   
   out if more than just 2 would even ask the question. :)

   Interesting scene.   
      
   I like the way you write (I mentioned that before). "Prose" sounds like   
   something unnatural, hard to read, so I'd not aim for that anyway. :)   
   (Checking for a definite definition, it seems prose itself means   
   ordinary or uninspired, hah.)   
      
   Can't really find anything to complain about in this bit that can't be   
   blamed on my still a bit spongy head. (I have/had a cold or something,   
   fortunately headache's gone thanks to the wonder of paracetamol, but I   
   wasn't too fit those last days.)
