Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

Oh...It's just that as it turns out I rather end up becoming Prime Minister Jones or something of that sort. Mandrake wasn't exactly firm on the precise details, but...Apparently, that's where I end up. And doesn't that seem like a laugh.

[ She thinks about that a little while longer, then answers honestly: ]

Not good news, no. I mean...Don't get me wrong, I'm not scared to grit my teeth and do things I don't like. Obviously. But I really can't imagine that I'd be any good at it at all. And I'd HATE it. The thought of having to kiss up to people I hate makes me SICK, and I talked it over enough with Mandrake to know that I won't be able to just chuck all the people I hate overboard. But...You know. I promised Mandrake that I'd try, that I'd study so that I can get ready for it, and he's gone now so I can't even take my word back. But that's not who I want to be.

That's awfully sweet of you to say. You'd make a good politician yourself, you know.

I just...I don't know. I wish I had more information. I wish Mandrake hadn't left. I've just been feeling sick with it for a little while now. It's part of why I'm going.

Right, yeah. Things might change. They probably will, really. We've got a fair number of really smart people on the case, haven't we? Though God, I really wish that people were more FOCUSED. Everyone keeps getting sidetracked...

Anyway, seriously? Public speaking? As in, you're afraid of having to talk to crowds?

From: [personal profile] rathercommon
No, I do get that. It's just that when those things happen, it's like EVERYONE jumps to attention. You don't bloody well see the entire imPort community frothing at the chance to go downtown to help build homes for the poor on the weekend, but the moment some wanker wearing arse-lifting leiderhosen starts panting about his plans for world domination, suddenly the street is thick with us. Honestly, really, don't get me wrong, I KNOW we can't just let wicked people do as they ought and we're better at stopping them than the police are. But really, I just wish that people would get excited about fighting poverty the way they get excited about fighting crime.

And all right, what parts of it aren't you good at? I don't really think there's much to it TO be good at, really, since it's just going up there and saying something true, but you never do quite know.

Yeah, well, there's one thing in the world worth doing that's easy: breathing. Everything else worthwhile is hard, isn't it. Anyway, punching usually doesn't solve anything anyway, does it? You've got to either kill him outright or remove his reasons for doing the things he does. And that doesn't come from everyone hitting him.

Anyway, what's that even mean, not good with words? You communicate just fine, don't you. I've always understood you. What more is needed?

Well, and you know that me arguing doesn't mean I'm arguing with YOU, right? (You'd know if I were arguing with you. I'd get a LOT shirtier, and meaner. I'd probably insult your facial hair a bit, wouldn't I.) (Though honestly, I wouldn't be all that surprised if you WERE one of those going out there and fighting crime. We've still got a few people in costumes unaccounted for and you keep some AWFULLY rowdy company. I expect you're a bit wilder than you seem, aren't you.)

Anyway, you could have said a lot more if you'd wanted to. You were just being a bit lazy. Anyway, no one LIKES hearing someone prattle on and on. Eurgh, like there was this one junior junior undersecretary to the minister for education or something of that sort who came to our graduation ceremony and went on and on and on and on and on and on...It must have been two hours he talked. I nearly ran up to the podium and slapped him. I'd sooner have someone who says one thing and then is like yeah I'm done.

[ Good deflection. She honestly does wonder a little bit, for a lot of reasons - little things he's said, skills he's got, the fact that he's got such a strong conscience but gives no indication that he ever uses his powers to back that conscience up - and if he'd tried to fight her on it, that little fire of curiosity would get fed. Just letting it breeze past doesn't give her any kindling. ]

'Running trend.' PLEASE tell me that was intentional.

And I don't expect any of those graduation speeches are worthwhile, anyway. They're all pretty predictable - go out, join the workforce, make yourself a productive member of society.

[ She was more unclear on what elementary school entailed (but a quick run to Google after he answers tells her all she needs to know). ]

That's sweet. And really weird. They're just doing more school after that, right? But it's still really sweet. And I bet the speech was less unbearable. Less of 'diligent work will serve the glory of your nation' and more of 'well done, all of you.'
