Tanya smiles and raises her own can.  "I think that we can be friends and certainly we can work together.  And you have nice friends.  A bit odd, certainly, but I am certainly odd myself."

Mother watches a drunk punkrocker float up to the cieling.

"Definitely odd sugar."

[Mercy Merchant]

Tanya watches the floating man and says, "Now, I wonder what sex is like while floating like that.  I think it would be fun."

[Lighthouse]

"It's nice sugar. " said Mother.

[Mercy Merchant]

Tanya turns to look at Mother with appraising eyes.  "And is anyone here willing to instruct me in the finer points of shagging while floating?"

[Lighthouse]

"I'm sure someone would. I am going to turn in sugar. Feel free to stay as long as you like...everyone else does." Said Mother yawning.

Tanya stays for a short time longer then quietly makes her way out of the house and back to her bike.  Climbing on, she takes a few minutes to look at the house and considers all of the people she has just met.  These are good people, living a different life but still good people.  Kicking the engine to life, she bends low over the bike and races off into the night, home and her own strange life.
