“Oh you’re funny. That’s what you are. You got an act at that gnome place?

Listen, if you’ve heard the story, you’ve heard the story, and you know she’s better off. Or if you haven’t, you’ll get a much better version from the girls at Le Monocle. I think they’re developing a pantomime with costumes.”

[Jack sort of oscillates between regret and relief when it comes to Nadja, as, of course, she deserves better. He’d be the first to admit that. To him that’s why he left. 

Lucienne loves clothes. Bright colors, spangley things, etc. (Just google “painted houses New Orleans,” you’ll get a good idea of where she gets it from.) She knows she’s going to get a few too many looks when she walks into a room so why not blind them in the process? Her closet is in high rotation now that she can afford it, and she’s known to give once-worn outfits away to people’s she’s met at the clubs. Her considerable height sometimes means that they’re best passed down to not cis women, which is, for her, a delight. Her own gender presentation is relatively fluid and she’s been known to put on a pair of slacks if it will make her day easier and/or more interesting. That said, sometimes you don’t get to change before you have to go to work and you ruin a perfectly nice suit. 

Send my muse 👀 + a question and they’ll have to answer with 100% honesty. - ACCEPTING

“It’s probably desperately unwise, but . . .in all likelihood, yes, if anyone is up for the job. Of course, I’ll have to hope it’s fifth time’s the charm, but . . .that could happen, surely?”

First of all, Josette doesn’t keep a calendar, at least not a physical one. It would get lost in her messy- sorry, “bohemian”- flat. As for her schedule, it’s full of auditioning new acts, rehearsals of her own act and others, overseeing the maintenance of Le Gnome Qui Rit (until she gets bored, which doesn’t take long), and once the sun sets, it’s showtime (and party-time)!

“Interest in a relationship. Generally mine.”

Lucienne is very externally focused. She likes experiencing things. Events, sensations, people. It’s not that she doesn’t have a vibrant inner life. She does, but it’s in constant observation and dialogue with the world around her. If she gets tripped up in her head, whether by negative emotions or [very infrequent and very fleeting] doubts her quick intention is to pull herself out as soon as possible. Life is meant to be lived, and the world is meant to be enjoyed. She’s always been lucky (ha!) to have what she needs right in front of her. Sometimes she has to step forward to take hold of it, but if you’re dreaming, you’re likely not moving, and she is nothing if not a mover. 

“Is comedy a subject? I know it’s not usually taught in schools, though perhaps that’s because the average student would fail that class. And I’m not going to pretend I’ve studied the ancient Greek works on the comedic arts- if such works even exist- but I consistently, night after night, make audiences laugh, so I think I know what I’m doing.” 

“Of course there are those I am closer to than others, I don’t think there’s a way to avoid it, but on the whole I like to have a lot of friends. It’s important to know people, to care about people. And when you care for them, they care for you. That’s the only way to really connect with others: honestly.”
