[An anonymous text pops up on the vine. The handwriting is neat and steady print, but some of the letters are drawn a little oddly.]

Hello everyone. The queen brought us here to hook up, right? But seeing as there are only girls here, well, then that would obviously only work with lesbians. Therefore I am conducting an anonymous poll to try to understand the sexual preferences of our group as a whole.

Please respond back with your sexual preference as well as any notes or comments that have relevance. There is no need to reveal your identity if you don't want to. And, if you want to keep it simple and don't want any discussion of the matter, please just write a number.

Write "1" if you are a lesbian.
Write "2" if you are attracted to other girls but aren't totally sure.
Write "3" if you go for males and females.
Write "4" if there is a certain female you'd go for but not any other girls
Write "5" if you think you're not gay but aren't 100% sure
Write "6" if there's no way you'd be in to girls

Thank you. Hopefully this will help us understand who the Queen has brought here and why. [Because the author surely has no other motives.]

Well, I can understand the lifespan issue, but if you have a purpose in life that they can't understand, can't love triumph over that? I know it sounds overly sentimental, but couldn't they come together and love each other even if they are so different?

And yeah, I agree. I don't think anyone should be mean about something like that.

I suppose the purpose-difference can be worked around. At least I hope it can be or else some people would spend a very long existence without any sort of romantic partner. I'm not sure it would always work, though. Love is great and all, but if your partner is always going to have to put something else, a whole lot of something else, before you, would you really be okay with that?

I suppose that would depend. Would you still get to have some alone-time with them?

Of course. Except "alone" is sort of a complicated concept for some non-humans, particularly ones that have those obligations bigger than themselves.

I don't really quite get it, but I think I understand better about it now. Like if the person was serving some god or goddess, they couldn't put you ahead of them.

And I guess "non-human" encompasses a lot. I got a response from a construct that was built to be like a human, but they seem to respond to me the same way any other person would. I couldn't really understand that at first, so there are probably other people that it'll be hard to understand.

I think I could still love any girl, human or no, though.

That makes sense. You seem like you're trying to understand, which is nice to see.

I suppose since we're anonymous, I can explain a situation I know of a bit better to you. Where I'm from, there is a special sort of person, not human although they look it and they represent/are different areas of the world. Kingdoms, nations, territories, colonies, et cetera. Their existence depends on how well things are going for their people and their land. National pride and security makes for the healthiest of this kind. Except this also means they live for hundreds or thousands of years. It's hard enough to watch humans die even if you only love them because they're your citizens. Even if being with them was worth having to watch your love die one day, nation things always have to come first and I don't understand how humans could be understanding enough to be okay with that.

Oh, someone else told me they were that sort of person. They said they were a "nation," though they had no interest in being with a human, romantically.

Well, if the person was immortal or at least extremely long living, that would help a little, maybe? And what if the other person was okay with the nation's duties coming first? If they understood that that's just how it has to be... and still got time to be with that person and love them... maybe... just maybe... couldn't it work?

[Zenobia is imagining all sorts of heartfelt and passionate scenarios.]

An extremely long-living non-nation would be really excellent, to be honest. It would make things easier.

An understanding human would be essential, too, I suppose. It might work, with a lot of communication and compromise and optimism. I hope it ~~does~~ would, at least.

I think love should be able to work between anyone. But I must admit, I'm a bit of both a romantic and a dreamer so perhaps I'm overly optimistic about it.

If I fall in love with a nation person, I'd like to think I'd be up to the challenge. I probably shouldn't admit this here, but I don't seem to age, either. Maybe I could even come to understand what it means to be a nation, too.

I hope you don't mind me prattling on about this. I just find the idea of romance with people very different from me to be exciting.

No, I don't mind at all. This isn't usually something I have anyone to talk about with.

You doo seem like you'd be a good candidate for understanding the whole nation business, if you did happen to fall in love with one of them. It's okay to be romantic, I think. One of the people closest to me is terribly romantic and she always seems happy to be so. Then again, I don't think my neighbour has a romantic bone in her body and she's pretty happy too. Maybe that's not part of it, then. Maybe it just depends on the person. Some people are just as well off without that sort of companion has they are with them. My concern is that it's hard to tell what sort of person you are until you've already invested your heart - not to mention someone else's - in a relationship that may or may not have any chance of working.

You can have plenty of happiness without a lover, but I've been alone so long that I really really want to be with someone. [To an obsessive degree.]

I can understand that its not for everyone, and while the revelation that there are apparently people who aren't interested in romance was shocking for me, now that I think about it I think I can understand it a little. It certainly explains some people I've met.

Your concern is a valid one, but I think that its worth it all the same. I want to be close to someone. To share emotions, feelings, desires. I crave it.

You don't have anyone? Not home or here?

As much as the Queen seems to enjoy setting things up for romance, I'm still skeptical that this is the best place for trying to make a romantic relationship of any sort work. Even without taking a shot in the dark at a nation-human relationship. Or whatever combination that might raise a bit of worry.

No. I ran away from things once, and when I tried to make a new start, well, something disastrous occurred.

But here I am meeting a lot of wonderful people. I'm sure I'll be able to make friends.

This may not be the best place for romance... but for me I'm starting to think it's the only place. It's a bit complicated, but if I return to my own world, I'm doomed. So this is my only chance.

I wish you all the luck possible. I'm not good with advice or anything like that but you seem terribly sweet, so I really do wish you so much luck. You deserve to be happy.

Thank you very much. That's very kind of you. I know this is all anonymous, but I hope that if we haven't already met face to face, that maybe we will. You're a lot of fun to talk to.

When I'm anonymous, sure. I make no promises if we ever do meet face to face.

But we'll see.
