[It is essential to take a break from whatever you're doing to keep the mind fresh. It's clear that it has been a long time since Lichtenstein took a break from whatever he was doing. The cuffs of his shirt are singed and there's some ash in his hair that he hasn't noticed yet.]

People spend a lot of time protecting 'who they are'. But people change, sometimes voluntarily, sometimes because of the things they experience. At what point have you become someone else entirely? When do you lose 'who you are'? Is it even possible to?

[ if there's a priiiize for ~~rotten judgement~~ wearing bright colours, Kate probably wins it. Pink hair, bright yellow hoodie? That's just for starters. Her piercings glint in the light, across her eyebrows, all over her ears. ]

Did you ever decide what you want to do?

[ and then, after a moment's thought; ]

... Are you doing it?

fuckvampires

[he staggers in, one hand clamped to an eye.]

Ow, fu...uck?

[that was his attempt at making it a question, which doesn't seem to fly with the weird masked things. not that they indicated that, in any way, he just had a feeling.]

Okay, uh, say you been only eating the same thing for - [his eyes glaze over as he tries to do math in his head and fails] - years. What's the first thing you'd eat once you got the chance?

If you knew you absolutely couldn't fail--that you were guaranteed success--

What would you do?

[ Up Fabian meanders in his slow placid sort of way. He drapes his arms over the podium and links those bony fingers for a moment before deciding this question would be best delivered around a cigarette. Once that's been taken care of, he goes back to previous posture. ]

Do you fear death; do you long for it? Does death inspire a curiosity or a paralysis within your thoughts? Have you put great thought in to after death? Do you have your own personal belief?

unhallow

I don't think I understand this.

[ Samir is a little farther from the podium on the platform than one would generally place themselves, but presumably, he isn't expressing an opinion on public structures. All the public structures that comprise this place, maybe. ]

Is this normal?

[ He gives the nearest masked figure a quick slantwise look. It seems like it's a kind of look he's had a lot of practice giving. ]

Acceptably abnormal?

... Perhaps I should go out more?

[ People all seem okay with this! He has to check, but is already semi-resigned to the possibility he's un-hip and has failed once more to grasp the zeitgeist. Of whatever. Of whatever zeitgeist is. ]

Okay, so like-- the whole "clean underwear" thing.

[She leans in a bit, forearms braced on the podium, fingers dangling off the edge.]

I mean, like, "clean underwear in case you get hit by a truck", like my mom's always saying. Is it for real? Or is it just my mom? I mean, I'm sure I've heard jokes about it on TV so maybe it's not just my mom that says it.

But seriously, if you're on a gurney in the ER and they've got to cut your clothes off or whatever, is some doctor really gonna stop and be like, "Wow, clean underwear. Good job"? Beeeeecause that's kind of not a comforting thought. I'm not okay with that.

I'm totally not advocating that we abandon clean underwear, I'm just... wondering if whatever underwear business you have going on at the time of an emergency really matters. Does it? If no: why the concern? If yes: is "clean" sufficient or like, are there other guidelines?

[Lichtenstein sits, ankles crossed, finger on his lips for... about an hour. Not long to him, but the fact that he doesn't move, not even to blink or breathe, gives him a mannequin-like quality until that hour is up.]

Are you ever bothered by the stories strangers tell about you?

fruktansvard

[ He's haphazardly dressed in something that could be considered vintage pieces of a noble era long gone. A tiny little glass of liquor by a bottle of it. To the side lay a small plate of smoked meat and a pen and a paper with notes and scribbling inside and this is all that occupies the otherwise open table.

He puts the pen down and looks outward with a calm exhale. ] What philosophies shape your life?

kennyowens

What's it like to- to be in love with someone?

fairytalenoir

[ A handmade cardboard sign goes on the podium: 3 CARD TAROT READING: FINAL CHANCE. The wobbly card table with a Tarot pack waiting goes in front. The Boy Detective himself, pasty white and raccoonishly hollow-eyed as ever, stands beside both table and podium. ]

What do you consider a rite of adulthood?

If you want a reading, an answer is my final price. But —

[ So generous a tone here. ]

— if you only want to answer, I won't force one on you. I mean, I'm practically dying and it might be the best reading of the rest of my life and you'd be wasting the special spiritual insight my hovering on the precipice between worlds grants me, but I won't make you.

terpsichoreanisms

[She is contemplating her own hand wordlessly, twisting her wedding band between two fingers - turning it over and over until the skin on her ring finger is burning from it.]

Why is love considered more important than marriage?

serialized

[ Hey, check it out, a second person chain-smoking all over the podium. Nate kind of looks like he needs it, though. He's got one arm tucked tightly against his chest and the elbow of the other resting on top of it, so the cigarette doesn't have to get very far from his mouth. And he's not real big on eye contact right now, though to be fair, impromptu public speaking in a piazza full of masked hooded figures can do that, plus: hangover sunglasses. ]

Looking for some vacation suggestions. Needs to be not on the North or South American continent, should either be a densely populated city or somewhere difficult to access. Like a seafaring cult cruise ship. But not... a seafaring cult cruise ship.

[ Excuse him while he million-mile-stares into the distance. ]

I don't think I'd like that.

[ Another moment of hollow-eyed contemplation of the air. ]

Also I need to leave like, now.

meanwhileback

[Smoking at the podium is probably bad form, but here's Penelope, doing exactly that thing.]

How do you dress when you're at home? Is it different from how you dress when you're at work, or when you're out running errands, or when you're out partying or whatever?

Do you feel like what you wear is part of your personality, or do you use it to mask your personality from the uncaring eye of society or whatever?

Or do you feel like clothes are unimportant and don't have any impact on who you are at all? Because you're frankly fucking wrong, if that's what you think, but I mean I'm not your mom who clearly raised you wrong, so who am I to judge, right?

[Penelope feels she is precisely the one to judge. Everything. Clearly.]

What do you do to cure homesickness?

Or missing people in general; I'm not too particular.

[Mabel holds out an arm that has a very thick and someone old-looking pair of handcuffs attached to it. Attached to the other cuff was something very large and furry. It seems to be some sort of hand, and smells very dead. Mabel herself looks a bit better in the fact that she is currently alive.

Mostly.]

Anybody got a hacksaw?
