<strong>Myriad (LA)</strong><div class="floatright">(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RfXHqEgwZZI/TeG7yJbxZaI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/PfDfsz9b8Ps/s1600/dark-angel.jpg)</div><br/>Val typed up her budget while she worked in the kitchen on lunch, and outside on the car. One of the perks of her 'condition' was that there was always a hand to do chores. The weird part was that she was seeing and doing all this, it had been two weeks since her 'condition' manifested and she was still coping with things. She was a lot better off since it happened though. She had jobs doing catering work, modeling, delivery, helping at her manager's office and the odd jobs she could pick up.<br/><br/>Ironic that she was having no problem making ends meet now. When you can take up a part time job anytime and still cover auditions and open calls, it was easy to live in LA. She had scrapped up enough to give another one of herselves a ride to San Francisco and Las Vegas. There each of them had 'paired' off and worked out of a suitcase she'd gotten together from odds and ends from the local bargain stores. Her phone rang and she picked it up.<br/><br/>"Hey, Maria..why call me? I'm just doing a lunch run for you and Cal. I'll be back in the office in five or six minutes." She said as she looked at the budget sheet she was working on. The gig in San Fran wasn't too good, but she pulling in good tips dancing and the trio in Las Vegas were drawing the eye of a whale. The girls in NYC were living out of a closet but things looked good for a gig on a play she had done in college. Always helped to know the director,she noted wryly.<br/><br/>"Well YOU might be getting used to that thing." Maria's Texan accent was clear as was her amusment. "but I'm still getting used to the 'many bodies/one mind' thing. Anyway, I got a couple gigs I'm going to email you. If you can make up the 'look' for the job I'd appreciate it. I added links to what the director likes in his actresses." Her ability to 'tweak' her form was more loved by Maria than the fact that she was literally in about 14 places at once. "Did you think on my suggestion?"<br/><br/>"What to go public and incorporate?" She asked.<br/><br/>"Well it would make getting you recognized as a valuable asset. I know that it couldn't hurt to be 'out' with your abilities." The agent pointed out with a laugh.<br/><br/>"Alright, talk to me when I get back to the office and we'll see what we come up with. I'm still not sure how coming out will help or even how to do it."<br/><br/>"Don't worry sweetie.. I'll talk it through with you and we'll figure out how to do it in a way you'll like. I hear you walking in now.. talk to you in a minute..bye!" The phone went dead as Val looked over to herself in the kitchen as she laid out plates for the three other versions of herself working around the house. Her other self shrugged.<br/><br/>"So we get to be a hero."<br/>
