Sooooo...

Here's a question. What's the weirdest thing one of your fans has ever done? Or, like, the weirdest piece of content you've ever found?

Because I just found there are bwitter accounts dedicated to trying to prove I'm not actually dating my girlfriend? I thought it was a joke but they're in like, a flame war with someone whose really into it... Like, I know I shouldn't be reading it, but I just can't look away.

[ oh, right, wait, also need to be responsible. ]

Oh, right, almost forgot. Hi, I'm Josh Foley. I work at De Chima General. If you've got weird medical needs or something you need fixed, I'm your dude.

Oh god, those. Try not to take it too personally. People had all kinds of crap to say about me and Ruka. Apparently we make no sense as a pair. Not all the fans are that bad, though.

I'm not! I mean, not really, I just find it really werd!Haven't you guys known each other for like, ever, though?

Oh, yeah. She was here first, and then she got ported out, and then I showed up, she ported back in, ported back out for a couple of years, ported back in...

[ They have a long, complicated, winding history that not many people really know about. Mainly because it's weird and complicated, and Jaime can barely keep it straight in his head. ]

People don't really care about that, though. Just like they don't care about your history with Laurie even before you came here. They just care about whether or not you, like, look right together. Or if they think your personalities match from whatever they've made up about you.

Talk about star-crossed lovers. I'm glad that you guys got to be together finally.

[ a pause as he tips his head back, considering. and then it hits him like a bolt of lightning. he smacks a fist into an open palm. ]

Oh, wait, dude! Laurie wrote that book. And I'm in that book and do not come off looking good - and I mean, uh, it was the worst period of my life and I sucked, so not unwarranted but... No wonder they hate me.

Me too.

[ And -- oh, he winces at that. ]

Oh. The book. She changed your name! But I guess it's pretty obvious if you think about it for a second and have, like, the deductive reasoning that all these fans have.

[ ...he can't blame them for being unimpressed, at least. ]

Maybe over time they'll ease up on you. Figure that if Laurie's with you now, obviously things are better. [ ... ] Or maybe she'll write a sequel.

[ it's deserved. really. he gives a shrug. ]

I guess you've like, made it as a superhero when people are pissed about who you're dating. That was like seventy-five percent of what we did at Xavier's, just like, gossiping about our teachers love lives...

[ though he winces. ]

I think they're counting down the days until I run off with Kavinsky or David. So, like, if I did then who could blame her for doing it?

I think those ones might be less defensive of Laurie, and want even more to see you with Kavinsky and David. That's a whole thing too.

You guys will get boring eventually, I promise. Then they'll move onto their next targets.
