He doesn't speak with the others often. It is uncomfortable for him.

Success

Positive working relationships

It takes considerable effort to get him to engage with the rest of the workshop at all. When he has finally agreed […] to run a session, he fulfils his role by bringing mushroom cakes and a resupply of [supplies]. The results are not entirely shabby.

Description summary:
The nature of the supplies is determined by Experimental Object.

Rare Success

Papers covered with novel theories

Your Profound Student encourages the others to talk. He sits and takes notes. The notes are very clear and well-organised, and the thoughts are of better than usual quality. Was that his contribution, or theirs?


Failure

Scowling

He invites the others to talk […] Then he scowls while they do so. He meets most novel contributions with a disapproving grunt, but can rarely be drawn to explain why […] By the end of an afternoon, everyone is on worse terms than they were to start with.
