gollark: <@!326105835887394817> > “Hey,” I said as a girl walked into the room. She looked up, meeting eye contact for a second before looking back at the floor. “Do you know where we are?” She shook her head, still fiddling with her hands. “What’s your name?” Why do they not know where they are? Phones have GPS.
gollark: £20 + £5 = £25, see.
gollark: What?
gollark: How overpriced.
