Superfans: Karen, Natalie
Newbies: Mitch, Brittany

Fun facts:

Karen felt an ethereal kinship to Mitch while watching Felicia Day play Pokemon Snap. Mitch is painting his new apartment, no glitter was involved. Natalie has a pair of Karen's socks on her desk. We didn't ask why, but found out anyway. Brittany apparently lives in the mecca of Natalie's nerd culture fostering aka Kevin Smith's hometown.
