[He's right-- she'd much rather not have the additional frustration. But she won't say as much. Instead she just shrugs cheerfully.]

That all depends on whether they're paying me for the privilege or not.

The audience does send us gifts if they like us- sometimes fanmail, sometimes gifts of some sort, including monetary. Atroma also gives us a stipend every month, if ratings are good.

[mikangirl]

Hmm. Do you think that proves there actually is an audience? I mean-- have you ever received fanmail?

[pompous_today]

Not personally, but Atroma has read some out over the network. I've gotten gifts from the sponsors, too- and when we were on a beach planet, a fan sent me a swimsuit shaped like a merman tail.

[Snrk.]

That... must have been fun.

[pompous_today]

I confess, I did not even try swimming in it. It may have gotten me some extra audience love, but I do have my dignity to retain.

[mikangirl]

As long as you didn't burn it or anything. That might have lost you points.

[pompous_today]

I would have felt a little guilty, too, believe it or not. Someone worked hard to make me a gift, why should I let them see me destroy it?

[mikangirl]

Good answer.

...good to keep your popularity, too.

[pompous_today]

Exactly... as much as it pains me to play along with their games.
