<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I try'n keep work and life separate, you know?
*Lifts my hand high above my face, inspecting my nails against the soft afternoon sky*
But also I try to stay out of their business. If I keep being me, showing up does them no good.

@Webmaster

Who’s “they”? Just people in general?

*Floats beneath a shade tree*
That's the nice part about having so many places out there. You don't have to be recognized when you don't want to.

@Webmaster

You got experience in that realm as well?

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Since you're a celebrity, are you used to that kinda thing?

@Webmaster

I did it occasionally. Not all the time though.

If you live at the base, where do you spend it?

@Webmaster

Anywhere. I can still buy stuff in the IA, I just have to hide myself a little bit.

You know, it's good to have connections like this! You never know when it'll come in handy, like today.

@Webmaster

It sure is nice to know people, I know. That’s the only reason I’ve been able to start making money again.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I pay. It's super affordable though.

@Webmaster

Ah. Good, good.

*Point toward the rock-laden building, which connects to an outdoor walking trail with flower gardens along the paths, leading to another set of buildings barely visible beyond the natural stone boundaries enclosing the spring*
They're usually around working somewhere. Cute old couple.

@Webmaster

…
*Opens my eyes and sees you pointing, then looks in that general direction*
Ahh. Gotcha. Do they just let people come here for free, by the way?

I like this spring cuz it’s so peaceful. And the owners are just adorable.

@Webmaster

Are they out, is that why we haven’t seen them?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

That sounds more like harassment!

@Webmaster

It’s a lot of things, really.
*Tilts my head back and faces straight up*
Man, hot water is sooo nice for loosening up.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

What do you do about it?

@Webmaster

Another difference depending on before versus now. Absolutely nothing before. People are gonna hate, and it is what it is. Now, though? When I was slandered and falsely accused of major crimes? Well, that’s a work in progess tied to stuff we talked about before we came here.
