Ben's older sister and Kit's best friend, Lucy's pretty rough up front, but those she's close to know that she's actually a big softie. She likes rock-climbing, singing (poorly (but don't tell her that)), and getting blasted on cheap wine- straight from the bottle, obviously, 'cuz a cup's just a thing to wash. She's got a tendency to get bent outta shape over every little injustice she hears about. It's almost paralyzing at times. Or maybe that's just the booze. About Kit... "His real name's Keith, but when he was younger, he had a real hard time with the 'th' bit. 'I'm Keese! Keese!' Obviously, at the time I just bullied him 'bout it, but, looking back at it now?: adorable. "There was... this one time: um, we were out drinkin' at night, wanderin' around some park, and he was gettin' slurry, so I started teasin' - 'Hey, Keese is back! Keese! Keese!' - and uh... he... 'keesed' me... like... on the lips. We haven't... we never talked about that night. "B'yeah, we're not dating, by the way." About Ben... "Ben's like... Ben's like a shook-up can of soda: he's sweet, he's messy, he's got a lotta energy, and if you threw him on the ground hard enough, he would explode. Well, maybe not explode, but I accidentally broke his arm once when we were play-wrestlin'. He certainly exploded my eardrums. "And I felt so fuckin' bad- you can't even imagine. Mom said that, by the time we were in the car, drivin' to the hospital, I was cryin' more than he was. An' when we got inside, the docs thought I was the one who needed help." About Nora... "Nora's a treasure, but she's also really, really weird. I don't think she's like... stupid or anything, but like, obviously the way she talks is pretty wack- and she gets hung up on some really trivial stuff. Like, example: when we first met the Wizards, Doolan said her name like 'No-ra'. It was kinda awkward, but whatever; he was just tryna seem hip, but, multiple times across the following week, she'd ask me what he might've meant by that: 'No-ra'. "She didn't buy my explanation: 'Why would mispronouncing somebody's name make them cool?' she'd argue, and... yeah: there's a chumminess implied by goofin' around like that, but it's a fair point. Objectively, it just sounds kinda rude. "I nearly told 'er 'bout the 'Keese' thing but didn't. It's pretty clear to anyone who sees 'em together that Nora's totally smitten with him." About Kit (again)... "Speakin' of nicknames and messin' up names, Kit called me 'Lewis' for years. I just assumed he was callin' me 'Luce' or somethin', but apparently he legitimately thought I was a boy. I nearly broke up with him on the spot, I was so pissed. A 'friends' break-up, I mean." About her parents... "Look - don't tell Ben I'm sayin' this, 'cuz I'm tryna like, stay strong for him, ya know?- but I miss 'em. I miss 'em real fuckin' bad." About Murphy... "It's not like I spent much time with Murphy, but a lot of the Molls knew her well. Talkin' 'bout what she was like, why she left; and on the fact of that - she left - ya kinda get the feeling that she was the smartest kid of all." About Tara... "Tara's pretty amazing. She's got a lot of responsibility, but somehow, she also finds the time to touch base with each and every one of the Molls. Everyone's got a moment that comes to mind. I'd love to have one too, but... y'know, she just seems super busy all the time. Don't wanna bother 'er." About Svetlana... "When you hear that a nightclub's been taken over by a bunch of little girls, you expect they're only gonna serve juiceboxes or flat, tepid soda, but Svetlana makes a mean drink. She can also do an improbably good impression of a old Russian man." About Billi... "I've always thought of myself as atheist or agnostic, but sometimes I think that Billi might legitimately be an angel." About the Echoes... "They're like the kids I would've asked to buy weed from in highschool, but there's no weed. They're interesting to talk to, but you really have to have an open mind. Or weed." About the Executrix... "I try to be empathetic, and I try to not wish harm, but there's a limit, and she's past it; past the possibility of redemption. Kind of ironic, if you think about it." About Kasia... "A girl of few words, but her actions are loud. I might've given up hope by now were it not for her, and I know I'm not the only one." About the Knuth brothers... "It's funny: they're both always ogling Kasia, and y'always hear 'em talkin' about 'their girl', like she's some trophy they've won, but it's totally the other way around. She owns them." About the Wizards... "I love hangin' around with the Wizards. It's like droppin' into the computer lab during recess and tryna get the nerds to show you what they're workin' on. No idea what they're actually talkin' 'bout half the time, but when they light up, they lose all the awkwardness; it's pretty heartwarming." About Penis Magnate... "Nora was still contemplating the meaning of 'No-ra' the first time we met Penis Magnate. She suggested that he might've meant 'No Rug', because she probably didn't have pubic hair. Unfortunately, this was the explanation that Nora ended up accepting. "Also Penis Magnate is the second dumbest name I have ever heard." About the Titty Manipulator... "Titty Manipulator is the dumbest fucking name I have ever heard. I get that they formed Sex Party because they're so goddamn horny all the time - the spiritual brothers and sisters, bound in cum, takin' the Cum Oath, cummin' in the Cum Chalice - but it's just... it's so fucking asinine. 'Titty Manipulator', seriously."
