[the video opens on Jane in the same overstuffed armchair she was sitting in during her first video, only this time instead of sprawled out on it, she's sitting up, legs crossed at the knee, foot pumping in the air, and a notebook in her lap with a pen poised over it for taking notes]

So, I've gotta know what you think of the gods? Which ones are your favorites, which ones do you hate, and why? It's for research.

Everything about this place is suspicious, so I'm not really surprised.

[myrealname]

Suspicious, creepy, weird, bizarre, and fucked up. So I'm not surprised, either.

[she leans back in the chair and groans] God, what I wouldn't give for someone to just give it to me straight.

[uptightness]

Because things tend to end up sideways no matter how straight you try to be?

[myrealname]

I guess. I just need the details, 'cause I have a few of the gods who are gonna be in my play and I'd rather not write 'em as mustache-twirling villains and nothing more.

[uptightness]

Afraid you might get smote?

[myrealname]

[she laughs]

Not even a little bit.

[uptightness]

Then I suppose you can consider it artistic license.

video

[myrealname]

And write what I want? That could work. Nobody seems to agree about the gods, anyway.

video

[uptightness]

Seems as good an idea as any.

video

[myrealname]

I could go with that. And if anyone calls bullshit, I'll just say it was artistic license.

video

[uptightness]

Considering things like that aren't done overnight, you can always edit it as you go along.

video

[myrealname]

That's true. Since I'm writing fake people to be here, I have a lot of wiggle room.

video

[uptightness]

You certainly are. Good luck, Alice.

[myrealname]

Thanks, I'll need it. [she winks]
