So! This may seem like an unusual request, but I'm looking for friends. Friends with benefits, actually. I know that may sound strange, but I miss being close to someone. All are invited to apply, if that makes sense. I want to know whom I'm dealing with before I say yes to anything.

[and a Mona Lisa smile] And is it strange to spend more than five years bouncing between worlds? Who else has been through this? [a teasing smile] You don't necessarily have to be auditioning for the first role to answer, I promise.

Not really. I spent far too much time in the presence of politicians who'd hint and passive aggressive their way into what they wanted. Or in my mother's case, aggressively state what she wanted. So I lost my patience with playing coy a while ago, unless it's for the benefit of a partner.

Five. Sweet Mistress. How in the Mistress' name do you hang onto yourself after such circumstances?

Sounds like a hella drag, dude.

[ That question makes her laugh, though, in a sort of... bittersweet kind of way. ] I don't. I lost my fucking marbles ages ago. This place hasn't been as bad yet, but the Dream had a way of shattering you and you just gotta glue the pieces back together. Like that... Japanese pot art thing. Whatever it was called. You're a new you at the end and you gotta come to terms with it.

[she shrugs slightly] It was. But I'm here, not there.

I've heard about that. Where they fill the cracks with something like gold and then it's seen as even more valuable for its brokenness and its transformation into art. I'd like to think that's something all of us can aspire to, but I'm not certain. Not about myself at least. You?
