OC Interview
I was tagged by @ouroboros-hideout to do this interview for the Notorious BGB. Due to her secretive nature and general paranoia, she's not inclined to answer certain questions, so there will be some commentary.
Name?
"Who's askin' and why?"
*Legally named Baby Girl Benítez, BGB has guarded this embarrassing secret by using over 20 different aliases via forged documents. Only 3 people in the NC area know her real name.
Nickname?
"Again, depends on who's askin'. I go by 'V' in Night City. ...Why? Pfff, I'unno. Sounded cool, I guess."
*It's taken from one of her earliest aliases, Verónica.
Gender?
"None of your biz."
*Female; She/They
Star Sign?
"Scorpio."
Height?
"Again, why are you askin'? You FIA or somethin'?"
*She is 5'5.
Orientation?
"I know what I like when I see it and that ain't nobody's biz but mine."
*A true bisexual disaster.
Nationality/Ethnicity?
"See, now I KNOW you're FIA. Well, you can go and tell Rosalind that we are done, that it was nice getting to play James Bond but ain't no way in hell I'm joining her gonk lil'—... Oh, you're just trying to get to know me? *sigh* Fuck, choom... Sorry, I've had a weird coupl'a years. I'm workin' on it. Can we start over?"
*A stateless nomad via the Blood Nation's Gargoyles pack; Afro-Latina of Puerto Rican and Haitian descent.
Fave Fruit?
"Haven't had real fruit in forever. Closest I've had in years have been those Leeloo Beans. But, I'm gonna say mango. Yeah. Reminds me of my old family."
Fave Season?
"That's a hard one. Kinda like and hate somethin' about each of 'em."
Fave Flower?
"Plants aren't really my area of expertise, but there's something about wildflowers I really like. Remember growin' up, the fam was on this maglev construction gig down I-40. Late summer, just barely early fall. And there's nothin' but this vast stretch of highway for miles and miles, and ghost towns that got wiped by the wasting epidemic. But there were these little red and yellow flowers, just dotting the sun-scorched grass. Never knew what kind they were, but through all thst decay and destruction I remember thinkin' they were the prettiest flowers I'd ever seen."
Fave Scent?
"Coffee in the morning. Grapefruit rinds. A nice cologne. I love that shit. Just a splash though. I had... let's say, an 'ex' who I swear would marinate in it. That's not why they're an ex, but... yeah, didn't really help their case."
Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate?
"Depends on what time of day it is and what I'm doing. Coffee in the morning without a doubt. With the sock method, café cola'o like my abuela used to do it, of course. If it's the afternoon, I like a nice cup of Oolong. And for cold nights, hot chocolate. Spiked with spiced rum."
Average Hours of Sleep?
*The "sock method refers to a cloth mesh filter attached to a round wire frame with a handle. It's reusable but winds up looking like a dirty sock, hence the nickname "la media" (P.R. Spanish for "the sock/stocking") No actual socks are involved.
"Again with the weird questions. What are ya, my ripperdoc? ...You sure you're not FIA?"
*Averages about 6 hours of sleep.
Dog or Cat Person?
"Don't really have a preference. They're both great. Cats are great to chill on the couch with and dogs are fun to take on roadtrips. But I guess if you get an RV, you can do both."
Dream Trip?
"I'unno. Spent so much of my life traveling and moving that taking a trip doesn't seem as exciting to me. The Crystal Palace seems interesting, but is it enough to make me get on a tin can of a shuttle?"
Number of Blankets?
"If it's hot, then just a flat sheet with no blanket. If it's cold enough, then two. A knit one and a fleece one."
Random Fact?
"I fell off the scoop bucket of an excavator when I was 9. It was afterhours on the site and I got bored. Anyway, wound up shattering my left arm. Still kinda aches when it rains."

I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
Get pretty, but you and me
We got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire
Now as then, we don't doubt, we don't take direction
Lucretia, my reflection
Dance the ghost with me

"'Nother game's starting. One where the ball is your fuckin' head. ... You're up against seasoned players, whereas you...just stumbled on the court. These are trained psychopaths—pretend to be your friends, while they fuckin' ain't. So go out and play. Just don't get played."
