[ Trish is looking a lot better than she did not too long ago at all. Actually, those who saw her back then will probably note that she is looking better than she logically speaking should. The wonders of healing magic, eh? Thank you, Cyrus!

She seems to be rather in her element at the moment, calm and confident, smiling a little while she speaks. ]

Hello, my name is Trish Walker, I'm kind of new around here, and back where I'm from I hosted a radio show.

[ She supposes that maybe some of the worlds people are from may not have radio, but if that's the case she figures they can just ask what it is. ]

I've been tasked with doing the same thing here, so I figured I'd ask you guys what sort of content you'd like, what time of day you'd like the show to go on, and if you have any other thoughts on the matter. So, fire away, guys, I'm all ears!

[ No guarantees she'll give anyone what they want, but she is genuinely interested in hearing about it. ]

And if anyone would be willing to come on the show for an interview, that would be amazing. I have so many questions for all of you, and I’m sure we’d all be interested to hear about other worlds and universes.
Thanks for listening, and I hope to hear from you

[ That makes her laugh. ]

We could do that.

[ Randomized horoscopes would be pretty funny. ]

I had a lifestyle show.

[niffin]

Yeah, you could definitely make that work here. We're all on dining shifts, so maybe recipes would liven things up. [ Having the Norse god of trickery as head chef probably does enough of that, but. You know. ] Or like, 'the best holographic training room workout programs'. Get some Gene Simmons in there.

[ Richard Simmons. She's thinking of Richard Simmons. Probably. ]

How do you even end up with a job like that? On radio?

[notpatsy]

In my case you have a successful TV career as a kid that opens a lot of doors in the media world for you.

[ Yes, she would like to think that the fact that she's also really good at what she does contributed, but the Patsy phenomenon is just a part of her life and success that she has to accept and deal with. Much as it's a pain in the ass sometimes. ]

[niffin]

So, strike that one off the potential new job list. [ She's not exactly grieved. ] Did you ever think about getting out of entertainment? Like, be an astronaut —

[ They all are now. ]

— Or a firefighter or something?

[ It's always been a foregone conclusion what Alice would do, even if that opened the doors onto anything you want. She's painfully curious about what a normal childhood must have been like.

She has no idea how far she's barking up the wrong tree. ]

[notpatsy]

[ So very wrong. Honey, no. ]

I did think a lot about being a superhero.

[ She says it as if she's joking, but there is an actual grain of truth in there. ]

[niffin]

I guess this'd be the place to intern, if you did. What would you pick? For your superpower?

[notpatsy]

Do I have to pick one or can I go for a combo?

[niffin]

Whoa, whoa. You can't cheat on your superpowers here.

[notpatsy]

Okay, in that case... I think I'd like to be super fast. What about you?

[niffin]

Mmm, um. Mind-reading, probably. I know that sounds creepy, but think about it: You could always win at Jeopardy.

[notpatsy]

Yeah but imagine all the nasty stuff you'd run into. I mean, you hear enough bullshit with just what people actually let through their internal filters, you know?

[niffin]

Okay, true. I don't really need constant, unfiltered, human internet access.

[ She considers a moment. This question is trickier when superpowers are something more or less within reach. ]

Alright. How's this one: Matter-eater-lad. You can eat anything. Steel, rebar, concrete —

[ That's worse, Alice. ]

[notpatsy]

Please explain what you would do with that superpower.

[ She's going to regret saying that, isn't she? ]

[niffin]

Chew your way out of prison. Do work in food scarce areas. That ocean of plastic garbage in the Pacific? Done. Bam. No problem. I could go on.

[notpatsy]

You might be on to something there actually.
