UGO: One of the things I noticed is that it really kind of stinks being a reaper. You get lots of responsibilities and no special bonuses. Is that something that comes out later, that there are advantages?

EM: Yeah, yeah. You know, I do say, "Reapers can't fly. Reapers can't walk through walls." Those are the down parts, but then she says, "But the up parts are…" but I don't want to give that away.

UGO: Damn. OK. Finally, if you could have super powers, what would they be, and why?

EM: I'd be able to know what people are thinking…which is stupid, I know it's so cliché. But I'm very analytical, and I drive myself insane and end up ruining my day, because I don't know if someone's thinking something bad about me, and I always think that everything is about me (laughs). So if I knew what people were thinking, then I would know that not everything is about me.

UGO: Would you use your powers for good, or evil?

EM: Well, I would hope that they'd be thinking good things, but most of the time probably not (laughs)!

UGO: Thanks very much. Good luck!

EM: Thank you.
