*She laughed at herself.*
"You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you? I do that sometimes. I talk about things that have absolutely no connection to what I was saying before. Cincinnati is the settlement where I grew up. I moved to New York with my family three years before coming here."

"Oh, I see," *Dorian said with a nod.* "Now I understand. What did you do in New York?"

**AS ME**
*She smiled, remembering New York.*
"I sang in the metropolitan opera." *she said, inprovising.*

"Really?" *Dorian said with interest. "You must perform for me some time!"

**TOO LAZY TO LOG IN**
*She flushed.*
"There was a reason they only cast me in minor roles... I liked comic operas like HMS Pinafore better. The range suited my voice infinitely better."

"You have to be at least acceptable for them to cast you at all," *he said smiling.*
"I'm afraid that I have not yet seen it," *he said* "It's relatively new, so I'm sure I'll have an opportunity."

*She smiled.*
"I'm sure we could find somebody performing it. If not I know most of the songs, and I've been known to sing a one-woman version of a show when I get giggly enough."
*She thought for a moment.*
"I'd really like it if they were performing Faust here. That's my favorite opera."

*Dorian laughed.*
"That, I would pay to see," *he said amiably.*
"Faust, eh? A deal with the devil."
*That echoed his only life rather well...*

*Micaela laughed.*
"I always thought it was sort of romantic, in a way. I'm a bit of a sucker for the dark and gothic."

"Really?"
She'd like my story then. *he thought with a laugh*
"Some women to have a taste for the macabre."

*She looked at him slyly in a joking manner.*
"Well I confess... when I was younger, I always wanted to be a vampire."
*she laughed softly.*
"I saw Faust when I was fourteen, right after we'd moved to New York, and I fell in love with it. I've wanted to play Marguerite ever since."

*Dorian laughed*
"Vampires aren't any fun," *Dorian said.* "All that mucking about with drinking blood and sleeping during the day. It's so... unrefined. There are better ways to live forever."
*Dorian cursed himself for that slip- though she couldn't guess...*

*She raised an eyebrow.*
"And would you happen to know something about living forever?"
*She had seen the change in his demeanor after he had said that. He knew something.*

*Dorian's mood darkened with her words. He knew that had been a mistake.*
"Living forever?" *he asked?* "It's impossible, I'm sorry to say."

*She looked at him. He definitely knew more than he was saying.*
"Right." *She said smoothly, making it clear that she didn't believe him.* "It was only a joke."
