Still a working pro: the Hartford qualifiers with Donni Stott

texture · late Aug YDAU, recalled 10 Nov

• When: Late August YDAU (Orientation period), inside Hal's recollection in the 10 Nov waiting-room scene.
• What: Poutrincourt has not stopped competing. In the August recollection, Avril — apple in hand, explaining why she is showing the tiny new matriculant around herself — tells Hal: "'We're encouragingly short-staffed. Thierry and Donni won their qualifying round at Hartford, so they're staying over.'" She and fellow prorector Donni Stott are live enough on the Satellite tour to win qualifiers between teaching duties — the same competitive résumé ("former Satellite pro") that gives her bleacher analysis its authority.
