Now that I've let you know how Watch was inspired by someone I knew, I can also tell you basically everything Watch says here was what I had heard from my friend. (via email, at the time)

The make up being mentioned as "face painting", the smiling not being at all natural to them, the mirrors being walked into, I didn't make anything up there!

It was all so fascinatingly alien to them... and it was all so fascinatingly alien to me hearing about it all.
