#jameson!

Dear June,

My apologies for not seeing this message until today! Such a shame that I did not notice... and such a shame that you have defective taste buds! My God, what an unfortunate food... but you are my dear friend, June, so I’ll let it slide :3!

I like to be a leading role, but not the only main character- it gets lonely if I’m the lone front-and-center protagonist! I enjoy playing a good old-fashioned trusty sidekick, but I am frequently in ensemble and don’t mind it one bit!

I find it quite fun to play villains, take a little departure from my usual temper and go darker, but also, to play adventurous, globetrotting characters who try crazy new things. I may not be one myself, but I consider every day a little adventure, especially since I... admittedly do not completely understand much of the modern world!

Thank you for asking!

Yes! That’s how I feel about Electronic Music! But I can enjoy it without fears of harming anyone else. Do you think there’s a reason why you view your entertainment as more valuable than someone else’s safety and stability?

I don’t really do cosplay! But I dress up as characters for Chase’s skits or my stories or the plays I am cast in! It’s very fun, I like wearing all the outfits, especially for Shakespearean plays. Thank you for asking!

Anonymous, I’m sorry you’ve perceived me this way. I truly mean no harm when I spend time with Anti- in fact, I’ve done good through it. I have calmed him down in times when he was in a violent rage, I have had the chance to find some of his weaknesses and tell Marvin so that he can work with me to protect everyone from Anti.

And I’m sorry you’ve perceived Anti that way, as well. He likes to call himself a monster, I know that, but he isn’t one. Certainly not as awful as you paint him to be (skinning one of us alive, good Heavens! What an accusation!). He has done awful things, and he will continue to do them, but he is not cruel to the core. Bringing gifts to Henrik, comforting Chase, and so forth, are not things that make up for what he has done in the slightest. But they do provide the evidence that he has a heart and a desire to make meaningful connections with others.

I try my best to make a connection with him, so that he seeks after violence less.

Does that make sense?

Oh, before you respond, be a dear and ease your condescension. No need to be so graphic, nor to be so rude to me!

Oh, dear. You seem to have the wrong impression.

I do spend some time with Anti! Most of it is his choice, of course. I don’t see why you feel the need to mock me or try to get a reaction out of me. I value my friends and their safety dearly, but there are many ways to try to prevent more suffering. I’m doing my best.

I’ve washed blood off of him quite a few times, but it was often his own. 

I will be sure to tell him! 

I’ve been all sorts of things! Bank robbers, a grandfather, an old-timey explorer... it’s quite fun to just swap back and forth between personas like that.

Do you do theatre? Or the You Tube?

Jamie laughs at this one, and so does Henrik. “I am not the best person to ask. I don’t relax much.”

 “Work addict!” Jameson signs, pointing at Henrik. “Always stressed!”

“Yes, well…. hm, I do love the beach when I have a chance to go.” The doctor smiles at the thought, adjusting his glasses. “Looking out on water, watching the sun shine across the waves, it is like a little heaven…. but then Jackie likes to come and build stupid sand sculptures. Chase, too. They make hilarious things.”

Eyes lit up, Henrik chuckles. “Once, we buried Chase in sand, except for his head. Then Jackie made a fake mermaid body over it, it looked so, so funny. Chase was Ariel for the day!”
