Editing Cig (section)

==Personality==
Given 'his' original as an object his personality is hard to detect.<ref>“And if we know Cig and Lis are part of this… according to Alpeana?” Verona asked Rook.<br><br>“Yes, she told me.  I’ve informed you.  They worked under Edith.  Lis is nervous.  Cig is… a cigarette.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/05/25 Excerpt] from [[Dash to Pieces 11.8]]</ref>

However he gravitates towards interesting people such as, addicts, criminals and world weary travelers, enjoys listening to stories,<ref name="NOC2">Motivations are hard to discern.  Cig doesn’t think like you or I might.  We have to infer from where it goes and what it picks out.  That it came here and seems to want to stick around.  It accepted the terms given without issue and has already taken to indicating desired votes as one of the new Others.<br>[...]<br>
Cig seems to gravitate toward interesting people.  It doesn’t shy from addicts or criminals– just the opposite.  It also likes world-weary travelers and the rambling elderly so long as they have stories to tell.  It may be best to think of it less as an object and more of one or all of these types of people bundled together.  If they gather together and talk while sitting around a heaping ashtray then Cig is the old man/old woman/criminal/weary traveler/trucker/addict/teenager all tied up into one that is sitting & listening at the table with their cigarette lit but not yet smoked… with the person subtracted from the picture.<br><br>At the risk of injecting personality where there is none: Cig is nonviolent and passive.  An observer and “listener” rather than an actor.  It seems to prefer to avoid violence and sometimes remains behind after alerting us about potential threats. - [8.a Spoilers] [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/01/28 New Other Correspondence #1]</ref> so something of a people <s>watcher</s> listener.<ref>“Cig is the guy in the movie who’s always in the shadows, smoking, who knows a ton, tied into conspiracies,” Lucy said.<br><br>“Sure.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/08/28 Excerpt] from [[Summer Break 13.8]]</ref>

===Relationships===
Due to his nature and possibly his loneliness he was attracted to [[Edith]] and collaborated with her easily.<ref>“In a way, it was like coming home, she was warm, she had this natural way of drawing you in, at least for me.”<br><br>“You’ll make me jealous,” her partner said.<br><br>“It wasn’t like that.  It wasn’t love.  I went along with what she wanted because nothing and no one was telling me not to.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/07/03 Excerpt] from [[False Moves 12.4]]</ref>
