[Games are the bulk of Vivienne's existence. Even when she's 'relaxing', there is almost always some undercurrent of maneuvering involved. A cynic might remark that her need to keep control over her life is in its own way controlling her life. But she's incapable of turning off the drive to maintain the upper hand in all that she does.]
