excellent face/credit combo. i'm down for figuring out something ridiculous. mae's father is a big deal entertainment lawyer in the industry, so there's an angle there. she's been crashing award shows for years, and is incredibly good at approaching strangers like they're long time friends. suddenly you're just talking to her very intimately without entirely understanding when and how it happened. this is also part of her general flirtation strategy (though when she approaches people she's never entirely sure of her own intentions other than being curious about what sort of boundaries that person has and how much she can test them). maybe they have ended up in some deep conversation or debate at a couple of events in the past couple years? always when a little bit fucked up?
