What’s your favorite restaurant in town?
Probably the Chinese restaurant down the street from the house... *watches the line of people waiting to vote from her desk in the library* Tis a lot of people in line, I think that's a good sign.

Could you tell us the story of your "coming back from the dead" experience?
I just woke up. *presses back of hand to her forehead before walking into her room* One moment I was in my bed, dying, and the next moment I woke up and found myself here, in the now. *sighs, flopping down to sit on edge of bed* You'll have to excuse me, I've a bit of a headache. Perhaps we could speak of this more another time?

What is your relationship with power? Do you crave it, or do you fear it?
I crave power over myself, and that is all. *shuts cabinet, filling glass with water from the fridge* I crave bodily autonomy, the power to choose for myself, the power to be who I want to be without someone tell me tis not proper. *pops Tylenol into mouth, swallowing with water* /That's/ the power I crave.

“I can’t emphasize enough how everyone's COVID-19 experience is valuable,” AFC Director Nicole Saylor said. “It’s worth preserving. It doesn’t matter your zip code, your community, whether you contracted it. Everyone has a story.”
Hard to believe it has been almost four years since the pandemic shutdown.

When is the last time you felt sad?
Now. I feel sad right now! *scowls* And mad, I'm terribly angry and upset. This- *rubs face with both hands* this is awful.

Hospital??
Yes, the hospital. *groans, dropping head back on pillow* My stupid appendix burst. And now they won't let me out until- *blushes, shifting in bed* until I use the restroom.
