Anya was in the middle of taking a drink when it was her turn to order so she just pointed to what she wanted on the menu and told the woman thanks when she left to put in their orders. She thought about their questions and chose to address Griffonage's comment about helping where she could first, to reinforce what Elia had already said. "Speaking as me, er, well, the previous versions of me, there haven't always been a lot of people that can help. Trust me, anything you do to help is appreciated by the people you help."
She turned her water glass on the table, gazing into its depths with golden eyes for a few moments of silence before she came up with answers to their questions. "I'm not really sure how the whole comic thing works, it's not always been comics. It actually started as cave paintings. In the Middle Ages it was Chronicles, I think it was poems in Han China and I never really tracked Rome. I have no control--no--no one has any control over it, it just happens. This conversation, omitting, oddly enough, secret identities, the battle on the beach, this will all show up on New Comic Book day in comic book shops across the planet. It will literally just materialize on shelves. Some experienced store owners actually keep an empty space for it. It's weird, you know?"
She took another drink to collect her thoughts. "It's definitely weird knowing people can read your life. I kinda get used to it all over again with each life, I'm not there right now. I don't like the idea and I wish it didn't happen. There are things I don't want other people to know, even if they think it's just a fun comic they bought at the local geek shop." Precisely because some of it wasn't fun at all, not when you lived it. "Oddly enough, every time it changes mediums all the previous versions re-print once. So somewhere out there is Luna Hawk Issue #1 and it's probably worth a bunch of money on Ebay or something. There's like this whole group of people that follow me through research, it's--odd."
She grinned mischievously. "They don't know I joined their Discord server." She waved it off. "Anyway. Right now I'm really just trying to get established again and I had this whole Disney career and I'm trying to get out from under that, you know the whole, got to be taken seriously as an adult after being a Disney Kid's Channel star thing. Only I don't want to go the Miley Cyrus route, if you know what I mean."
She'd not meant to say all that, but it felt strangely good to talk to someone about it all.
