You have reached Festival, king of entertainers and entertainer of kings. I'm fairly certain this device will allow you to leave a message. Best of luck with that.
"That's...probably also wise," admits Festival. "And, ah...not to put too fine a point on it, but I cannot be relied upon for quota, anyhow."
He takes a drink to give himself a moment more to think, then adds, "Some go about it the opposite way. They find there's more comfort to be had in a contract that carries more meaning. I, ah...the partner without a stripe may be forced into the position of administering a punishment if one or both breaks the law. Some would prefer that come from a more intimate partner."
"I can see why people would prefer that, and at some point I might change my mind about what I want or need. I just don't want to jump into that immediately." She shrugs, watching Festival thoughtfully. Well, not relying on him for quota suited her just fine. As for punishment, she had no plans to get caught breaking any laws. Really, no active plans to break laws, yet.
"So I'm definitely looking for the standard three-month temporary contract, not necessarily anything longer-term yet. Though if I find myself compatible with a partner and things seem to work out, who knows?"
"Three months is shorter and longer than you'd think," comments Festival. "I think that's a wise course of action for the start of things."
He thinks a moment. There are logistical considerations, he decides, worth bringing up. "You mentioned you have work," he says. "That would be no problem; I don't see any reason to interfere with your business. Would you want a signoff on purchasing your own home--or to live in mine?"
