About Kyle: Unlike Norman Conquest (who believes that most people are out to get him), Kyle is actually out to get most people.  He lurks in the shadows of Observatory most nights, preying on unsuspecting girls who could plausibly be over 18.  He enjoys recreational and equine drugs, surveillance equipment, coca cola, Marlboro Filters, xkcd, razor blades and fashion accessories that double as weapons.  He hates everything else.

About Norman: Norman began his career in mergers and acquisitions.
